Bit of a rhetorical question I know, but from this lawyer's perspective, no lawyer worth his or her salt would EVER not take the step of confirming the interpretation of the (arguably vague) provision before taking the action given the significant negative consequences of it ultimately being determined that your interpretation was incorrect. It is possible (but I think unlikely in the circumstances) that the ultimate client (owners) could have been advised of the risks and decided to proceed in any event, notwithstanding the risks. My gut tells me Feaster just blew it and, as someone else posted, stated that the Flames disagreed with the alternative interpretation as an a$$ covering measure. Edwards et al are not idiots and I suspect it was ultimately a significant factor in Feaster's firing.

Jarome Iginla figures to continue scoring big working with Matt Duchene
Quote:
Although Iginla has yet to play a regular-season game with the Avs, his combination with Duchene showed great promise Sunday.
"I enjoyed it a lot," said Iginla, who scored a first-period goal and assisted on Duchene's game-winner with 1:07 left in the third period that broke a 3-3 tie.
"I think there's some real good chemistry. I've been here about a month now, and although training camp just started a few days ago, it feels like it's been a few weeks now because guys got together early. I like playing with Dutchy and Factor (Ryan O'Reilly). They're skilled, they're quick and they create a lot. You can tell they've played together a lot, because they have great chemistry, and I just want to add to it."
Quote:
Duchene, who has played with numerous right wingers in his five seasons with the Avs, can't believe his good fortune in playing with a future Hall of Famer.
"I mean, his career speaks for itself, and I thought we had a good first game together, our whole line," said Duchene, who roofed a wrist shot over the shoulder of goalie Francois Tremblay to win the game.
The O'Reilly-Duchene-Iginla line was often matched up against the Burgundy top line of Gabe Landeskog, Nathan MacKinnon and Alex Tanguay. MacKinnon scored a pretty goal in the second period to tie it 2-2 after a give-and-go with Landeskog.
"That was a tough line to play against," Iginla said, grinning. "I'm glad I won't have to do that in a real game. There's so much skill there with those guys."
Roy might be a little arrogant but he's no Boston. Their captain repeatedly sucker punches people after clean hits and gets zero discipline for it, screw Boston. You hit one of them and they'll take it so poorly they'll assault you, the refs don't call it and the most annoying commentators in the league act like they're a bunch of great guys playing a clean game. I would rather cheer for the crying, whinging, diving and embarrassing Canucks.

Wait, what?
The Bruins beat the Canucks in 2011 Stanley Cup Finals. They are still in my positive books. (when not playing the Flames)

I can't cheer for this guy, he's a bully with no honor and as soon as someone that can actually fight him steps up he turtles. 9 minutes of Chara gooning it up (NSFW audio)

No, I am a Flames fan only and loathe Boston. They are everything wrong with the game, no honor whatsoever. Iginla's face was priceless as he was standing behind Lucic in the infamous handshake, I'm glad Iggy's with the Avalanche.

How can a Flames fan be happy that Iginla is suiting up for a former division rival and a current Western Conference one over an Eastern team that smited Vancouver? Wtf is a matter with you? I hate Colorado.

Because Iginla isn't a Flame anymore. I don't really care about players not on our team, nothing's wrong with me, I just have a different opinion than some of you which is too much to handle apparently.

Uh-uh, you said and I quote " I'm glad Iggy's with the Avalanche."

Obviously I meant glad he's in Avalanche as opposed to Boston but the desire to belittle via semantic rhetoric is clear. A very discouraging group of people, I'm out of here.
I hate Colorado.
