IF JOANNIE IS UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE 'H-WORD', WHO CAN CALL THEMSELVES A HERO?

If Halak proves to be #1 in the World, is he #1 in Montreal? What if he's only increased his stock in the eyes of other NHL GM's?

Do the GirlPower Games prove women really are superior given equal opportunity? I don't think so, but they do suggest to me through Joannie and Clara Hughes that more of our great Canadian female athletes draw from inner strength, while so many of our male athletes on this continent are pampered and spoiled.

What's the worst plumbers' bill you've ever had? $20-Mill? That's the combined salary of Nash-Toews-Richards for 2010. Yzerman and Babcock will consider that well-spent when they touch off our TRUE Hockey Day in Canada Celebration!

How can one man's nightmare be another's golden dream? Selanne after the humiliation of Mikka Kiprusoff says it was a "nightmare" losing the semifinal game. Maybe he'll have to be called Kipru-softie?

Aren't you sorry that Saku had to be aboard that train-wreck?

Did the Als steal Gavin Walls from The 'Peg? The perennial allstar qb-hunter (when healthy) tells me he was shocked when the Bombers told him he was dealt to Montreal. Though he knows Stanford Samuels (little-used Montreal DB and former Blue Bomber), he was taken aback he was never offered a chance to restructure his contract. GM Jim Popp doesn't steal him, in fact he's had Walls fall on his lap. Which is far preferable to having him crashing into Anthony Calvillo's!

Does Jim Popp ever get an offseason? When I caught up with him this week he was in Indy at the NFL Scouting Combine, getting ready for the CFL Scouting Combine.

Gatorade drops Tiger now? He really can join Ben Johnson in the next Cheetah commercial!

Is there anything more Canadian than than a girl from the maple forests of the townships trying to rescue teens at risk of becoming junkies in the wilds of East Van? Take a Hike Foundation sounds like something we could use in Montreal for some of our troubled youth as well.

Own the Podium? Let's let the athletes storm it and send more of them to London and Russia over the next 4 years. Let's let the muckymuck sport bureaucrats who don't like cigar and champagne parties stay home!
