Afternoon Delight: Walsh and Twitter cause controversy

Eddie “The Eagle” Belfour has been named goaltending consultant for the St. Louis Blues. Smart hire by JD and company. Was there ever a better goalie at getting more out of his limited physical abilities than Belfour? He was just a tremendous positional goalie with great instincts and terrific form.
Saku Koivu was a valuable Canadien…at least that’s what I can decipher from Gabe Desjardins’ post in French. Our French readers should enjoy that piece.
Mike Halford of Orland Kurtenblog says Jeremy Roenick should be a Hall-of-Famer. I agree. Roenick had 500 goals and isn’t that really the magic number for the HOF?
Jeff Klein of the NY Times chimes in on Allan Walsh’s Twitter feed. Great piece by Klein.

According to The Hockey News both the Islanders and Coyotes are going to be terrible. It is never too early for predictions!
