And while we wait for that first major deal...

I thought the trade deadline was supposed to be exciting. TSN sure is pretending its been rivoting so far.

Trade Season!!

With the trade deadline just around the corner there are some very juicy rumours going around. Here are a few:

The Flyers, who may or may not need a solid goalie, are looking at sending by far their top prospect, James Van Riemsdyk (aka JVR), for a goalie. This would be acceptable for most Flyers fans if the goalie they were potentially getting back in return wasn't Kari Lehtonen. Yes that goalie from the miserable Atlanta Thrashers. If your going to get rid of JVR can you atleast get back a goalie that has done something mentionable please, that's all the Flyers fans ask for.

Since it seems like Chicago is going to make the playoffs this year, they are out looking for some depth to play behind their young guns, P. Kane and Capt'n Johnny T (mostly I just wanted to mention them by their nicknames) but they really are looking for a 3rd line center. Which team in the league has 4 3rd line centers and therefore wouldn't mind parting with one of them, well the Toronto Maple Leafs of course. A trade deadline wouldn't be complete without Dominic Moore being traded, so why not to the Blackhawks. No idea what the Leafs would get in return but really are the Leafs going anywhere anytime soon? I think not.

One more point I would like to make seeing as it's trade time in the NHL is this wonderful term, "future considerations." Someone recently asked me "what does future considerations mean?" I did some research and found this quote (not really but I like to pretend) "we may or may not give you someone else depending on how we feel and how this guy we just got from you performs." If I were a GM in the NHL I would totally try this deal;

Me: So we want (insert budding superstars name here) and if he makes it to the hall of fame we will give you a 4th round draft pick from the year he gets voted into the hall ok?
Other GM: Hmm. Give me a minute to think about this deal.
Me: How about I spice it up and give you a 7th round draft pick for next year upfront?
Other GM: Alright, this sounds like a deal I can win with. Deal.

Wouldn't that be great.

Now a quick update on our favourite budding Nascar hottie. Scott Speed won the pole for the Busch..er..Nationwide (lame) series race this weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. He then proceeded to crash out in the race and finished 40th. Better luck next time.

For your viewing pleasure..not sure what he is thinking about.

They're not booing. They're saying "October through Juuuuuuuuuunnne"

If you haven't gotten on this bagon yet, you're seriously slacking, it's really the only other thing we talk about now other than:

SCOTT SPEED

but yah, brianburke does twitter. No, he actually doesn't do twitter, it's a parody, but we're all semi-intelligent folks around here, we knew that. Really we don't need to say anything, Down Goes Brown covered it epically, go read. That is if your roommate didn't already read it to you while you were trying to eat lunch and enjoy your soaps


We have just come to the realization that Scott Speed should be on the Y&R with those amazingly good looks. Do it.

Habs players need better friends

As if they needed anymore problems, a few of the Habs players have "allegedly" got caught up with the wrong people.

How wrong you might ask? Well according to a report on the Fan590, really wrong, like Hells Angels wrong. Pasquale Mangiola, was arrested by Montreal police and faces drug trafficing and illegal gun charges.

Break time for Scott Speed

And who ever could these players be? Take a guess, you won't get it. Andrei and Sergei Kostitsyn and Roman Hamrlik. Although he "allegedly" is only an aquantance of this guy, while the Kostitsyns have "allegedly" had several phone calls with the dude.

Where might all this "alleged" information come from you wonder. The trusty people over at La Presse. If you can read french here's the story. If you want a little information in a language you can read, here's the Gazette story.

ACTIVITIES

"If I move my bed 5 inches to the right, I will have so much more space for activities!"

If the Pens don't kick it up they will be definitely looking for more space for their non-hockey related activities.

Really i had no reason to post anything, except I really wanted to share that line with everyone, then tried to cover it up with a reference to how much the Pens suck.

By the way, in case we are wondering, no I haven't given up on them, I'm merely temporarily experiencing what it is like to be a Leafs fan. Ooooh burn.

And so I'll leave you with two notes:
1)"if orgies are about one thing, its not rhythm but rather just brutally sexual behavior" -#8
and
2)SCOTT SPEED!

There is no hockey here

We are in Florida.
We have been here for a couple days.
There is no sign of hockey here.
Hence the lack of posting.
Lame excuse, yes.
But at the moment if it doesn't guzzle gas,
Or chew up tires.
Or involve crazy red-neck fans,
We don't care right now.



On a side note:

Scott Speed ftw!
If Jagr drove in NASCAR, he'd be Scott Speed.

Scott Speed...no words can describe

If you can't watch all of that, it's ok, neither could we.



Hockey: Penguins fire head coach, dumb move. Some guy is in his place right now, I kinda hate life.

Oh wait, we're in Florida.

Life is good again.

But over in Russia...

There is some very exciting news that has made its way over by telegraph from Russia. Ok maybe not telegraph but how cool would that be.

If you think back in your memory you may remember a very out there goaltender for the Ottawa Senators who couldn't be on time or drive properly and was just a general pain in the ass. Oh and he may or may not have been good at actually stopping pucks.

His name was Ray Emery (and I suppose it still is just now with a Russian accent) and he now plays in the KHL in Russia. And some recent events have come to the attention of James Duthie over at TSN and it's definitely worth reading his column.

This is the video of what happened over in Russia. Look at his name. EPIC!

Nothing to Report

Nothing is exciting right now.

The internet seems more empty right now than usual.

However I do have something to share. PuckToons provides a shot at someone in the NHL in convenient cartoon form, posting does seem a little irregular, but none-the-less still entertaining.

Pens were on a winning streak, about a whole 2 games I think. Then they lost. Don't talk to me about it.

Gonchar said he's gonna be back sooner than expected. But then originally we thought he'd be back for the playoffs. Yah, those. Don't talk to me about that either.

WWGRD. calls Cookie monster a chicken shit, I hate to say it, but sounds like WWGRD is trying to make an excuse.

Insert humourous picture here.

Prof. Fischer is ahhhhhhh-mazing

The following is an actual email our prof sent us regarding a design project.

Dear Matt and All,

With all the violence going on in hockey, I am not a fan of the game. On top of that, having been born on a different continent, I have difficulty spending time watching big men with lumber attacking each other.

However, if you find that hockey in general, and black tape in particular (rather than good 'ol electric tape), can make this course a success, man, I am all for it!

Yes, please, bring some tape to class, and show me how to use it, and I'm game. I may even play hockey some day...

Prof. Fischer

New Poll Up

I don't care what you say, these are the best jerseys ever. And if you don't think so, you're wrong.

It must be noted that, both of us want us one of these, and it must come in sweater form, just like it should be.

P.s. I enjoyed Price's brown pads once again.
