FTB - Thirsty Thursday

by Chemmy on Jan 8, 2009 8:22 AM EST Comment 36 comments

Despite being a 24 year old professional I decided last night would be a good night to buy two liters of tequila and invite over everyone I know. After a solid two or three hours of sleep I'm blogging before heading to work.

Shoot me now.

Greener covers Sundin's flip flopping.
eyebleaf has two articles up on Sundin. Numero uno, the preview, and numero dos, the review.
mf37 called the Brad May signing back in November, and has his final thoughts on it.
Steve @ Hockeyanalysis thinks this is a dumb move, and also has his thoughts on Kulemin.
Torontosportsmedia loved McCown's interview of Burke, and a comment on Happy Howie's blog.
loser domi has a LOLeaf for you folks.
DGB invited a Habs blogger to give him fairytale answers about 1993 (seriously: Leafs in 6). He then heads over to Lions In Winter to give them a piece of his mind. That gives them one piece of mind.

And to think I got up early to post this while hungover. Le sigh.

Making stuff up since real Leafs news is far too depressing

I’ve just posted a guest preview for tonight’s Leafs/Habs game from a Habs blogger, although in hindsight I didn’t really ask them anything about the game. You can find out what they think of the Leafs rivalry, whether they wanted Sundin, what would have happened if the Leafs had played the Habs in 1993, and whether they think Grabovski could be the real deal.

Would it help if you knew I made fun of their centenial, called them ballot-box stuffers, made fun of Carey Price and worked in a purse-stealing joke?

i liked...

the part about their “actual” 100th anniversary.

for habs fans, they seem like good folk. level headed, except for the habs fan part…

Thanks

I appreciate the level-headed comment. It means a lot as a backhanded compliment. I wish you all the best for the big day in Montreal this June…

hahaha

It’s funny that the best compliment rival fans can give each other is that they are level-headed.

seriously...

i meant it as a compliment.

i mean, we all hate those homers with blinders on…as DGB pointed out in his comments to them, it’s not that we hate the Habs, we begrudgingly respect them. The rivalry isn’t as great as it could be, in fact it may never be, with us in the same division, but still, there’s something there that connects us…

no disrespect meant

Oh no, I wasn’t implying that I just think it’s funny that “level-headed” is about as good as the compliments for opposing fans can go.

Can we get

a doctor’s note or something to get out of playing les habs? It’ll be like one of those soccer “friendlies” where brazil beats the holy hell out of a senior men’s team from cambodia.

by LeafFanInVan on Jan 8, 2009 12:25 PM EST reply actions 0 recs

True

but the plan is to get a good draft pick, so as long as the purse-snatching, hitting from behind TK keeps away from my players, I’m good with an ass kicking.

I'm not jaded, I'm just realistic.
