Did a search under 'moving,' and this didn't come up, so sorry if it's a R. This supposedly isn't 'shopped, and allegedly took place in Montreal. In the lawyer-happy state that I live in (VA), this would never be allowed. They ought to try elevating their hockey team up from...

HoF on Tues put in Bure (finally), Oates, Sakic, and Sundin. Good call on all of those selections, especially the 'Russian Rocket' Bure, who was somewhat overdue. Also a good call on NOT putting in that punk Claude Lemieux. Can't believe he was even nominated. Sherriff Shanny didn't get in...
