LIE OF THE DAY

From TSN: "When I got to Buffalo one of the first things people were suggesting I should do is take away the 'C' from Pat LaFontaine, to have a fresh start. And there's a lot of similarities here, in terms of people maybe wanting to take away the 'C' from Yashin. But I think in order to be a good captain you need a good supporting cast. Yashin is a good man, he's got a good heart for the game, he wants to succeed."

Yeah, OK. Comparing Yashin to LaFontaine is a joke, in all forms of the word. Yashin does not have a good heart for the game. And how much more of a supporting cast did/does he need? No excuses for Yashin. He better get his shit together NOW.
