"New York Rangers general manager Glen Sather came to the rescue Friday of Peter Pocklington, agreeing to post $1-million (U.S.) in bail, clearing the way for the release from jail of the former owner of the Edmonton Oilers."

That’s an…interesting choice to bail someone out. I guess Sather and Pocklington were “bros?”

Devils in my heart! Devils in my mind! Devils in my eyes! Devils until I die!

What a Sucker.

But it makes sense to me. Players like Redden and Rosival have been snookering The Generalissimo out of NYR money for years. At least he’s taking it out of his own pocket this time.

Glen Sather is a Hockey Genius.

Ha, it’s not bail, it’s a contract! $1 million a year for the next 10 years. Would only be, what, the 6th worst contract on the Rangers?

Double Sucker

This guy is as shady as they come and has the balls to call the US a police state. What puckhead.

I’m surprised it wasn’t Gretz that did it.

Hockey blogging can't get any flatter.
