There will be changes whenever the NHL resumes play, but they likely won't be big ones. At least that's my reading of chicken entrails and what CBC Sports head Nancy Lee told me yesterday.
"Once the playoffs are over, we will take a good look at the whole situation," Lee said, noting that the only hockey name mentioned in the entire promotional book was Ron MacLean's. That's because almost everybody else — Cherry, Bob Cole, Harry Neale, Kelly Hrudey, Greg Millen and Glenn Healy — will be without contracts after the Stanley Cup.
"No decision has been made one way or the other," she said. "As for Don Cherry, there is nothing going on. Most of (the stories about his imminent dismissal) are newspaper-driven."
There will be changes, though, she said. But she won't get specific.
