Saw that Duhatschek was retiring. Back in the more simple days of 2005 when the NHL was coming out of the lockout, Duhatschek wrote an article which included a snippet about Paul Kariya still remaining Colorado property.

That was incorrect, so I wrote up a civil email to Duhatschek figuring he wouldn't respond. But to my surprise he did, although he remained dug in that his "sources" told him that the Avs had Kariya's rights. I had pointed out that Kariya had already been a UFA in the summer of 2004 and Colorado couldn't give him a QO to retain his rights. Kariya signed with Nashville once free agency opened.

So while he was wrong, I did appreciate that Duhatschek took a minute to respond to a random email. [/coolstorybro]

Scott Burnside being inducted into the HHOF is a joke
I forgot all about this guy until today.

I actually saw something pop up somewhere about him, which almost read like a possible memoriam. I was like ''Wait, did he die?''. And then I saw it was because he was inducted into the HHOF.

I haven't really heard or seen this guy's name more than just in passing in at least a decade or more.

He used to regularly put out all kinds of Lou hit pieces. I think one time he said something about how Lou should be buried under the ice that the poor team he built plays on.

That was during the MacLean season. He was irate that we fired MacLean. He seemed to have a Lou-bias at that point. He should have been more irate that MacLean was even hired in the first place if he wanted to put Lou on blast lol.
