Interesting Lubomir Visnovsky interview in today's Pravda:
http://hokej.pravda.sk/visnovsky-ne.../sk_hhokej.asp?c=A100803_224900_sk_hhokej_p43
Lubomir had some very stupid and naive things to say in the interview. His words are too ignorant to warrant a translation. They remind me of words on HFBoards by for example an ignorant Canadian. Only this time the words are in Slovak. I hate how opinionated he his, how most of his opinions are based on ignorance, and his high comfort level playing in cities that could care absolutely less about hockey.

Which part do you find so ignorant? I think he just prefers California before beautiful weatker in Alberta. Like 90% of people would do. He did not insult city of Edmonton or Canada.Interesting Lubomir Visnovsky interview in today's Pravda:

I have no problems with Vishy choosing Los Angeles over Edmonton. Wayne Gretzky and Chris Pronger have made similar moves. If I were an NHL player, I myself would prefer playing in a city that cared about the sport and had fans that understand the game.
Three things stood out for me that I thought were igorant:
(1) Using whatever happened to Demitra's wife in Vancouver as an example that US healthcare is better than Canadian. If you don't know what you are talking about, it is better to keep your mouth shut. I believe this to be offensive to Canadians.
(2) His thoughts that Slovak hockey parents have a lot to learn from Canadian ones who are apparently more relaxed and less pushy. I mean seriously?
(3) He said that Edmonton could be a difficult place to raise young children because of extreme cold. As someone who was born in the far north, stop being such a wuss Lubomir. I would also take cold over earthquakes and drive-by shootings.

The Pittsburgh Penguins today cut ties with veteran forward Bill Guerin. There is speculation from many sources including the agent of Marek Svatos that a deal could be close. Marek Svatos has expressed an interest in joining the Penguins and it might be a nice fit. Of course it is not yet a sure thing, the Penguins could opt for younger players like Tangradi, but I hope they sign Marek.
Hell must have frozen over because Rastislav Pavlikovsky was invited to the Chicago Blackhawks training camp. I never liked Rastislav, and now even less that he is in his 30s. I imagine Chicago needs cheap players with all their cap issues. Perhaps even Marian Hossa had some influence on the decision. Anyhow his chances of making the team must be next to zero.
