RICK MOFFAT'S STUPID QUESTION OF THE DAY

COYOTES ON THE LOOSE?  HOPEFULLY THE PENGUINS ARE MORE WORRIED ABOUT A PACK OF WILD BULLDOGS!

How can THIS not get through to Matt D'Agostini?   Even with Pouliot and Bergeron out for Super Bowl Weekend, Dags is in the doghouse while Bulldogs are off the chain everywhere.  Darche on the top line.  White-Desharnais-Trotter as a 4th line?   The Canadiens have 8 players with them this weekend who've spent time in Hamilton this season.   Dags---you don't want adult education classes at Stelco U!

What are the 2 things Anthony Calvillo and I agree on about Super Bowl Sunday?   1) Colts will DESTROY the Saints.   2) There will NOT  be 13 men on the field at game-end.

While I'm at it AC, how come you don't pretend to be conducting the orchestra like Manning does at the line of scrimmage?   "Actually Marc (Coach Trestman) wanted to bring in some plays that would have me make more reads right before the snap, but in the CFL we only have 20 seconds between plays.   We just didn't have time.   Fans don't realize in the NFL you can do alot with 45 seconds."

What's the latest scandal dividing the Habs' room?   Most of the players I talked to are turning on Josh Gorges, an unabashed Colts fan.   The Canadiens D-man insists he's no band-wagon hitch-hiker...he comes by it honestly.   "My Dad's cheered for the Colts since Johnny Unitas was the quarterback in Baltimore."

Now Josh, about that refusal to put your money where your mouth is in a Super Bowl friendly wager with D'Agostini?   "He shouldn't be talking...he still owes me for last week's games!" Gorges jokes, referring to his bang-on predictions for the Conference finals.

Is this a sign of age or maturity?   Anthony Calvillo's pointed out that the latest Hall of Fame inductees are all guys he has played with or against.   "That's showing my age," chuckles AC.   "Glad to see Ham going in.   He told me he'd teach me things, but I had to want to learn.   Tracy always said he wanted to help young quarterbacks but they didn't all want to learn."

Anthony, you obviously paid attention...just don't plagiarize his induction speech 10 years from now!
