FTB - Game Day Edition?
Part of the fun of being on vacation is not being beholden to things like clocks and calendars and schedules. The only thing I have to worry about is making sure that I don't go hungry. Chemmy is apparently on the same schedule in ottawa where he's watching the World Juniors and being assaulted by the most homeless people ever. That's saying a lot because he's lived in Boston and New York and visited Toronto a lot and they are all meccas for the homeless. Anyway, I slept in but we'll still have a regular schedule: Game preview at some point, game thread, reminder to make your SPG picks, and a reminder that there are only two more days to make sure that you qualify for the Christmas Contest.
And here are some links:
- Looks like Old Yeller might soon be taken out back and relieved of his backup duties. In 2002 this might have hurt. Since he left for Detroit this is just the cherry on top of the struggling sundae that his career became after forsaking Toronto. Take note Fredo.
- Speaking of Fredo, looks like he finally managed to make it to his new hometown that he'll love and love and never want to leave and hopes to bring a Stanley Cup and blah blah blah.
- Oh that Rosie DiMANno. She cannot do anything right.
- Kim Jorn went to Sarnia but don't feel bad for him! Also, I like Stock Ale but Till has hairy arms that seem scary.
- How typical is it of something ottawa related trying to copy exactly what the Toronto version is doing? Why can't the senators stick with their "fall apart in the playoffs" thing and let us have the "suck during the regular season in order to get a franchise player" thing? Jerks. But still worth a laugh.

i get the feeling...
that’s burke’s plan. get as high a pick as we can, and, if it isn’t 1st overall, he’ll still have attractive trade assets (kaberle, kubina, antro) to move if need be to get to 1st…

yes...
I think so too, and I heartily agree with this approach. It’s been fun watching the Leafs work hard and surprise other teams, and win, but we really need to tank, and get that franchise player to rebuild around.

Get that OTHER franchise player to build around.

Cujo and the tough decision...
Wilson told Ulmer (second last question):
Cujo hasn’t been as consistent and we’re going to give him some starts now to give him an opportunity to show what he can do. I want to see if Cujo can help us in the second half of the season. If not, we’re going to have some tough decisions to make.

That whole interview is fantastic.

not by himself...
but say we’ve got 2nd or 3rd overall and use that to sweeten the pot…or
we trade toskala, antro and kaberle to the team with first overall, and hold on to our 1st round pick!?!? Man, I wish Milbury was still GM of the Islanders, he’d be all over that…

It is time for us to declare the 2008 Mittenstringer of the Year. Come by and cast your vote:
Oh my dear...
it seems the Canucks live streamed Fredo’s first team skate this morning.
And people watched.

Yeah, I saw that. And they say we are crazy…I hope this works out as well as worshipping that golden calf did for the Israelites.

I think it worked out just super for them.
How've I been? In a word? Awesome. In five? Awesome and full of booze.
TILL IS SCOTTISH, DAMMIT! WHAT CAN HE DO??!??!
Those arms will sure be scary when they are punching the blood outta ya, PPP.
I didn’t realize he was wearing highland wool underneath his t-shirt ;)
