I am in the Minneapolis airport now. It is almost 3 a.m. Czech time, so I am really tired. 3 hr. layover then about 3 more on the plane. Long day.

It is the Jihlava team in the Czech Republic that asked if I am willing to come there for an extended time to train their coaches. In the communist era it was the powerhouse of Czech hockey as the army team. Just like the Red Army team in Moscow.

Bertram was drafter by Chicago in the second round. He was a skilled goal scorer growing up. The Red Bulls and trying to help him find his skills again. They play a Russian team in Fussen, Germany today. It would be interesting to see how he did. I will have to check their site to see if they do summaries of ex games.

I heard Pierre was in the running for the Minny job last year. I don't know if that is true. He would add a lot of action. I tell you he would never have 4 stand still in the nzone while one passively forechecks. If I want to watch that I can go to a bus stop. Pierre always has 4 on the attack and overloads the strong side with 4. Fun to watch and it produces championship teams.
