FTB - Two Sleeps To Wendel Day

"Every single day, you ask the same questions. You know the amazing thing? You've never asked me once about what we're doing in practice. 'What was that drill?' No one's ever asked that. It's always, 'What's Jason Blake going to do tomorrow? Where's Brian Burke having dinner tonight?' You don't really talk about the actual X's and O's of the game. I find that kind of strange. So, then I wonder, maybe you don't ask those questions because maybe you don't understand."

Damien Cox, ESPN

 TSM points out the obvious: At no point in the follow-up does Damien reply about the media's knowledge. Instead, he tries to say that the media isn't nasty in Toronto (laughable) and that Ron Wilson will go crazy. Sure he will, with nasty know-nothings like you asking him questions. I just hope he doesn't hit any innocent bystanders during his rampage.

  • Wendel Moment # 3 features what might be the hardest hit of all-time. And by might I mean that there is no doubt in my mind that Wendel made Bruce Bell's insides blow up and healed him when he pointed at him. Also, pre-emptive congratulation to DGB for getting picked up by The Score. Very well deserved and embiggening.
  • Oh God this is so great.
  • Richard-Steven Williams had indecisive parents. His predictions for the early stages of the Burke Era are anything but wavering.
  • The dollar is really weak again. Not super weak but the heady days of parity are long gone. I think that this might be the reason that the Habs were in financial trouble during the 'Fans Exodus' Era. It sure sounds that way listening to Pierre Boivin the president at the time. Tom Luongo at FanHouse has more.
  • I really like this idea.
  • Andy Grabia found out the best time to conceive your future NHLer.

Loose nets

I really like that idea too. Hadn’t really thought about it until now, but it is one of those subtle details that makes a difference. When the net “billows” there’s an added sense of slow-motion drama to the goal. Now, sometimes the puck bounces out so fast, I can’t even tell where it went in.

Yeah

It’s such a simple idea but it looks good.

I must be in a really bad mood

I don’t even feel like laughing or making fun of the Sens and their abysmal existence.

Maybe I should fire up some Nickelback.

Wait, does Nickelback have a new album out? I hadn’t heard about this.

Yes new album this or next week?

Anyway I’m calming down, working on my 3rd cup of coffee of the day… I should be relatively relax after another 3 or 4.

I can’t see how this will improve your mood.

There's no T.O. in the NHL

Grudgingly, that was a really good piece. Why can’t he put up work like that on the Spin.

His analysis is only ok, but the quotes are awesome.

I was confused by the title (No Toronto? Huh?) until I realized he meant time-out. Great compilation of some really good quotes so far. The one from Wilson is excellent, but there’s a few other good ones there.

by general borschevsky on Nov 20, 2008 11:10 AM EST reply actions  

I thought he meant

Terrell Owens. But I only skimmed the article.

by Kim Jorn on Nov 20, 2008 11:12 AM EST up reply actions  

I thought he meant Terrell Owens too. Great quotes and they never make The Star!

oh... ya...

Is this an article about hockey or what? Who the fuck is Terrel Owens? Some guy that plays some other sport and has a big mouth, I guess. I get it now. Not ‘time out", not “Toronto”. T.O. stands for some guy I never heard of who plays a sport I couldn’t care less about, in some other universe I’m barely aware of. Glad I have that clear in my head now.

Anyways, it was a good read except for the retarded headline.

For Toskala

Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I want to be,
Pony trekking or camping,
Or just watching TV.
Finland, Finland, Finland.
It’s the country for me.

You’re so near to Russia,
So far from Japan,
Quite a long way from Cairo,
Lots of miles from Vietnam.

Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I want to be,
Eating breakfast or dinner,
Or snack lunch in the hall.
Finland, Finland, Finland.
Finland has it all.
You’re so sadly neglected
And often ignored,
A poor second to Belgium,
When going abroad.

Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I quite want to be,
Your mountains so lofty,
Your treetops so tall.
Finland, Finland, Finland.
Finland has it all.

Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I quite want to be,
Your mountains so lofty,
Your treetops so tall.
Finland, Finland, Finland.
Finland has it all.

Finland has it all.
