“He (Tampa co-owner Len Barrie) was more of a Sean Avery-type player when we were in junior. It was my first game in Victoria and my folks came down from central Vancouver Island to watch.
“[Barrie] was all over me, chirping and smacking me. Finally, about halfway through the second period, I had enough. I dropped my gloves and we went at it. Who would have thought 21 years later he would be my boss?”
-Lightning goalie Olaf Kolzig. More at the Globe and Mail…

Any Jay Feaster Sightings?

Mike Chen wondered about the Tampa Bay Lightning GM just yesterday, observing:
Since the Koules/Barrie superteam took over, nearly all of the press releases regarding player movement have been announced by one of them or new executive something-or-other Brian Lawton.
I’m not sure what Feaster is doing these days but there’s a good chance he’s collecting a nice check while sitting in an air-conditioned office watching reruns of The Surreal Life on Tivo rather than calling GMs and dealing with the league.
And Bruce Garrioch shares this theory at Off the Posts today:
The whisper amongst NHL executives is he has three years left on his contract, is on the verge of being fired and will likely get a buyout from the Bolts.
My opinion of Garrioch rumors notwithstanding, he might be onto something. Feaster is a ghost these days.
Update 3:00pm ET: The new Lightning owners and Barry Melrose will be available for questions at an open town hall meeting next Tuesday. No indication that Feaster will be attending.
