Remember that scene in Jurassic Park? You know, the one where the cup of water starts to shake, letting everyone know that a hulking dinosaur is on the way? Well, a lot of cups must be shaking in the NHL’s head office this week. The source? Twenty-nine general managers stampeding to the commissioner’s si

After the worst summer lineup in recent memory, this week’s returns of Heroes and House couldn’t have come any sooner for fans of the small-screen. Unfortunately for me, my PVR didn’t record either one. Power outage? Nah. Cable glitch? Not quite. No, my PVR didn’t record anything because it’s still stuffed full with last season’s Canucks games. <a h

Probably. Poor old Dan had a pretty rough ride on the message boards of this website.
