Is there really no Timmy Gleason thread? If yes and I'm just missing it, move my post please ladies. From the N&O “It was pretty much a piss-poor effort in the first and second periods. We weren’t ready to play. I think we were just thinking too much all over the ice. We found the urgency in the third period, we came back, and it was my stupid penalty and it cost us the game.
"I know we fought hard. We fought hard in the third period down 4-1. We’ve got to keep positive here. It’s the only way we’re going to be successful and we’ve got to forget about it. Everybody knows we’ve lost four in a row. You look forward to Saturday’s game and try to get the two points and go from there.”
“It’s pretty bad that we have to turn it around for 12 minutes. I’ve said it enough. We have the character, the guys, the talent, the hard work, a good work ethic down here. We have to find a way — put it this way, we do too much talking. We might as well start acting on the ice and doing our jobs again. Everybody has their own job to do at the end of the night. We have to look into the mirror and know that you have a job to do. We have to find a way to do it consistently. That starts with me and it goes from me on up.” Can we please just put a letter on this kid and let him officially be a leader? Because in my eyes, he's one of the most vocal and appears to be playing the role of at least an alternate captain already. Also, there is a possibility that I will have an extra Timmy Bobblehead. I'll no for sure on Tuesday. Anyone who does not already have one want one?

DG they did an interview with him last night after the first period and I said the exact same thing to my spouse.. "Slap a letter on that guy because he's got leader written all over him." I'll pass on the creepy bobblehead. Thanks anyway!

We don't slap letters on people who admit we suck, or JWill would be a walking alphabet. We really should though. I'd rather have them come out and admit they know we had a bad game/string of games/season.

Quote: Gleason: no need to reopen CBA Submitted by chipalexander on 01/19/2009 - 13:54 Tags: Canes Now | Tim Gleason
TORONTO — Defenseman Tim Gleason, the Carolina Hurricanes' player representative, sees no need in reopening the league's Collective Bargaining Agreement after this season, much less risking another lockout.
"That would be the worst thing to do right now," Gleason said today. "We're getting our fan support back — it's pretty solid so far — and there's no reason to do it.
"We agreed to these (CBA) terms a few years ago and we're going to follow through with it and keep things going."
The Toronto Globe and Mail reported Monday that there was a consensus among the player representatives of the 30 teams to continue with the CBA. A vote of the executive board of the NHL Players Association is expected Thursday in advance of the All-Star Game festivities in Montreal.
The NHLPA holds the right to reopen the CBA after its fourth year and must notify the NHL by May 18 of its intentions. The NHL's 2004-2005 season was wiped out by a lockout, and both management and the players emerged from the labor strife with gains — the owners got the salary cap they desired and the players share in 57 percent of hockey-related revenues.
"Things are going well. As of today, the players are happy," Gleason said.
One concern for the players, Gleason said, was the escrow issue. A percentage of the players' salaries are kept in escrow to cover financial shortcomings in the NHL's projected revenues. The escrow payment this season has been set at 13.5 percent but could go higher.
"It would great to cap that," Gleason said of the escrow payments. "But we're in this together, so we have to build a relationship. It obviously has to be stronger and however we're going to get there, to get stronger, we need to do it as soon as we can.
"It's all about the fans. That's how we get our money. It's all about them, so we have to keep them happy and just keep things rolling along."
Given a tough economy, the NHL salary cap of $56.7 million may be frozen next season. That shouldn't be a problem for the Hurricanes, whose own budget is well under the cap.
"That's true but every player I know is happy right now," Gleason said. "We play a game. We're lucky to get the money and we work hard at it. The fans pretty much pay our salary and we want to keep them happy and keep things on a positive note."

I read that and thought "if it's really all about the fans, Timmy, why don't you stop more often so I can get that jersey signed? "

She would be cheating with Timmay. That's the only kind of cheating that's allowed simply because he's Timmay.

Ah Timmmaayyy. I knew there was a reason my Timmy bobble couldn't keep his hands on his stick. It telegraphed these out of character high sticking penalties he's taken lately. Bad Timmy!
