You're scaring me because I was thinking the same thing.

I had always thought he was an integral part of the team, yes or no?
BonoManiac said:
Well, he definitely became a leader in the dressing room, so I'm sure that his loss will be felt in that respect.

I usually check out RDS quite a bit but haven't had much time...
Arbour to coach Isles for a game to reach 1,500
CanWest News Service
Al Arbour, who led the New York Islanders to four straight Stanley Cups during the 1980s, will be behind the bench again in November to coach his 1,500th National Hockey League game.
Arbour, 75 on Nov. 1, has accepted an invitation from Isles coach Ted Nolan to run the team for one game to reach the milestone.
The Hall of Famer will sign a one-day contract on Nov. 2 and call the shots the following night, when the Islanders are home to Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins.
"This is an incredible gesture by Ted and the Islanders,"Arbour said. "I am flattered that Ted thought of me and I wouldn't miss this night for the world. I told the team that I do not want any pregame fanfare. I'm there to coach the game and help Ted and my Islanders try to earn two points against a very tough team."
Arbour is the second all-time winningest coach - behind Scotty Bowman - in NHL history, with 781 wins. His regular-season record with the Islanders is 739-537-223 from 1973 to 1994, the most wins by a coach with one team in NHL history.
"Every day last season, I would walk by that big board outside our locker room that lists the franchise's award winners and milestones," Nolan said. "And every day, it would kill me when I'd see coach Arbour made it to 1,499 games.
"I asked (GM) Garth Snow if we could bring coach back for one more game and to ask the NHL office to recognize it. They did, coach Arbour emphatically said he was on board and now I can't wait."

the Habs would be better off without him and I'm sure there are many other Montrealers out there who feel the same.
UberBeaver said:I think it's great that Arbour is getting a chance to coach the game. He deserves the honor.
I wish Souray was coming to theIslanders. Souray + Bergeron together on power play just raining hate from the blue line would have been something to watch.
So is this possible: Every friggin Leafs game is sold out already? I wanted to get some Leafs/Habs or Leafs/Isles tickets, but according to ticketmaster EVERY FRIGGIN GAME is sold out? Or have they just not gone on sale yet. I'm confused.
Toronto, Canada - A seven year old boy was at the center of a Toronto courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him.
The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with the child custody law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the
degree possible.
The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beat him.
After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took
the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.
After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Toronto Maple Leafs, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.
