    And now for something completely weird

    Over in the OHL, the relatively new Flint Firebirds have a grade A crisis on their hands.(Flint was previously known as the Plymouth Whalers.)

    Here's the story: The entire coaching staff was fired after a come-from-behind win over Oshawa yesterday. Why? Well, it seems like the owner wasn't happy over the amount of ice time his kid(D Hakon Nilson)was getting. But here's the topper: The ENTIRE team went to the front office, turned in their jerseys and quit. Including the owner's son(who has now asked for a trade and will likely get it.)

    ESPN's John Buccigross(one of the only people there who seems to give a damn about hockey)just tweeted that OHL commish David Branch will be meeting with the Firebirds' owner, the coaches and players at 12 noon today(11/9).

    My honest guess is they rehire the staff, and everything goes back to normal. Buy flint finally gets something to be proud of, and this happens. Ironically, I was at their game Saturday night.

    That's not irony. That's not even close to irony. No part of that is ironic.

    I could edit that and replace 'ironically' with 'coincidentally' if you want me to Jam.

    Turns out that's exactly what happened. The coaches are back on...with 3 year contracts to boot...and all the players are back in the fold.
