Great Meeting - NYHR Tonight
Posted by Gary Harding under Booster Club , NHL Stuff , NY Hockey Report , Ramblings , UK FootballChris Campoli was a real great guest last night. Definitely not as vocal or as charismatic as his roommate Bruno, but he holds his own rather
nicely.
He told the crowd a lot about his background, his home life (especially when his family were disagreeing over who should have won the last game of the season last year, Devils (for Toronto) or the Isles.
He also gave some good insights into the locker room, and how the new guys are handling themselves. He was honest and forthright, and was indeed a pleasure to listen to.
He also told us what fun he had the other day playing “Fireman” with Bruno.
If you tune into the NY Hockey Report tonight (www.blogtalkradio/nyhockeyreport) at 9:00 sharp, you will hear an excerpt from the meeting. If you wish to call the show, please call (646) 716-7209.
Hope to hear you on the show tonight…. Should be fun.
Interesting news in Atlanta –> Hartley fired after going 0-6. Win a division one year, get slammed two weeks into the next season. How can that team start THAT BAD???? Makes you go hmmmmm????
And in Soccer news, I can not believe that England lost to Russia 2-1 today for Euro 2008!!!!! Just the fact that England had to play on a “Astro Turf” field that made the old Giants Stadium turf feel like Augusta National…. Ugh, now my England lads need some help to get to play on…. Come’on England!

I think the biggest issue with Hartley’s firing was the disgraceful performance his team showed in getting swept by You Know Who and the inability to recover from it this season with a depleted roster - it’s a matter of time before incompetent GM Don Waddell is the next one to go. However, may he lead his team to victory tonight over You Know Who.
On a side note, they’re already clamouring to have Hartley in Montreal!!
Oh yes, the Isles are finally back on the ice tonight, looking for revenge on the Columbus Day loss to the Caps. Let’s hope for a better performance than the no-show they gave in Philly five nights ago.

Well said Rich. Those Qubecois media just love throwing coaches under the “autobus”. I thought that may stop with Guy, because he was so beloved there.
Oh well…
Yes - we need an effort tonight! Amen to that!
