Le Canadien subit la plus forte hausse de kilométrage | La Presse
Marc Antoine Godin of La Presse, a Montreal newspaper, says something about my NHL Super Schedule. I never made it past introductory French classes, however, so for all I know he's calling me a jelly doughnut. Any francophones out there care to translate? Thanks to OtF reader The Nacho Fan for the tip.

Predators aren't worried by delay over investor - The Tennessean
Brett Wilson is still on track to join the Preds ownership group, but the Phoenix and Montreal situations are said to have diverted the NHL's attention for the time being. There's been no word as to whether Barry Trotz, David Poile, and David Freeman have to go on Dragon's Den to seal the deal.

a couple of translations

used babelfish to translate this one:

The blogist "One the Forecheck" made appear an extremely interesting analysis of the calendar of the LNH while leaning inter alia on the distances covered. It is learned there that the Flames of Calgary will spend more time in the airs (55 331 miles), while the Sabres of Buffalo are those which will travel less (25 911 miles). The Canadian, it, are held slightly under the average of the league with his 38.029 miles. On the other hand, c’ is l’ equip whose transport will increase more compared to last season. With 5901 miles moreover with the meter, the Tricolour one will indeed manage a rise of 18% of its total mileage compared to 2008-2009. The league tries to mitigate the traditional imbalance of the voyages between the teams of the west coast and those of the North-eastern and Atlantic sections. She inter alia agreed at the request of Canucks of Vancouver d’ to reduce their burden. But because of the Olympic Games, Canucks will nevertheless play 14 matches of following l’ foreigner! The two matches in two evenings were also examined by "One the Forecheck". Blackhawks of Chicago and Devils of the New Jersey will play 19 times two matches in two evenings. The Canadian will be subjected there 16 times, a rise of three compared to l’ last year.

Here are the results when using the igoogle translator:

The blog “On the Forecheck” has published an interesting analysis of the NHL schedule, focusing inter alia on the distance traveled.

We learn that the Calgary Flames spend more time in the air (55 331 miles), while the Buffalo Sabers are those who travel the least (25 911 miles). The Canadian, it stands slightly below average in the league with 38 029 miles.

However, the team whose transport will increase as compared to last season. With over 5901 miles on the clock, the Habs manage to effect an increase of 18% of its total mileage over 2008-2009.

The league is trying to overcome the traditional imbalance between travel teams from the west coast and those sections of Northeast and Atlantic. She has other acquiesced to the request of the Vancouver Canucks to lighten their burden.

But because of the Olympics, the Canucks will play 14 games still on abroad!

The two games in two nights were also examined by “On the Forecheck”. The Chicago Blackhawks and the New Jersey Devils will play two games 19 times in two nights. The Canadians will be 16 times, an increase of three over the past year.
