Around SBN: Dissecting Nick Diaz's Positive Drug Test

Damien Cox Is Going Insane

We all loved seeing The Omen wade into his comments as his failed print column actually became more like an actual blog. However, the problem here is that rather than just guess at Damien's twisted logic he is actually spelling it out for us which at the same time that it amuses us also makes me think that he might be going insane.

I don't know how hard he works to convince himself that his logic about the Leafs trading up to get the fifth overall pick but he goes off the tracks (further?) when he starts trying to compare trading draft picks to trading established players.

Anyway, once you recover from laughing at The Omen check these links out:

Interesting Note

Glen Healey was on the Fan590 taking caller questions this morning, and someone asked him about contraction (Phoenix having been passed up by 3 potential suitors after said suitors took a closer look at their books), and Healey stated that the NHLPA is aware of 4 groups who are very intent on buying an NHL franchise, and that according to Gary Bettman (and he stresses this intensely, and repeatedly), all the current existing NHL markets are viable and all the franchises are in perfect health no with problems…

Healey could’ve been sarcastic but it was hard to tell over the radio

Zednik goal

That goal is nice, don’t get me wrong, but there are a few things to take into consideration when comparing it to Hagger’s.

One, he didn’t get knocked down by the ref, kneed in the head, and then get a puck in the face, while playing his second game in a visor, and Two, and most importantly, it was against the Isles. I’m pretty sure I scored accidently against the Isles just last week.

Yeah, but DiPietro MacDonald Danis was interfered with!

No, I agree. The hilarity of Hagman’s shift made his better. Plus, he didn’t do it against the Isles, so it didn’t anger me as much — and that should count for something.

We’re still a “sports bar” environment in game day threads. Don’t take this as a lecture personally, and other users shouldn’t take this as a lecture because I probably swear more than all of you folks combined.

Profanity is ok, but try and rein it in unless it’s incredibly funny or necessary. The stuff that was happening in the Sabres game day thread is stuff that would get anyone tossed from most decent bars. (long strings of nothing but the word “fuck”, long XXX conversations, etc).

That's not true

Kronwall made the team last year before he got a high ankle sprain in one of the last pre-season games.

Then, the fact that he had to pass waivers cost him a call-up.

Yes, our team sucks but it wouldn’t suck nearly as bad if ToskaLOL wasn’t our goalie.

I’m in agreement with Chemmy. I still haven’t forgotten Kronwall doing this.

He’s had problems cracking the lineup of one of the thinnest d-corps in hockey. He’s not that young.

Legace

on waivers by the blues….
pick up, yes or no?

by Karina on Feb 6, 2009 12:13 PM EST reply actions  

I vote no

out of respect for Cujo. Alternating Toskala and Pogge however the Leafs choose throughout the rest of the year is good enough for me.

by lordosis on Feb 6, 2009 12:14 PM EST up reply actions  

Can an injured player be waived? My worry is that Legace is less than 100% healthy…

(and if he were claimed it will serve as a constant reminder that JFJ could have signed Legace as a UFA for $1M, thereby keeping Rask in the system and saving Leafs nation from the Raycrfot years. Although had that happened, the Leafs likely would have made the playoffs at least once since the lockout and JFJ might still be our GM. What a nightmare.)

I would be for it if Cujo retired. he’d be a solid back up for Pogge and probably a just as good a mentor as Cujo

He’s UFA next year, I don’t really see the point of picking him up for 30 games. In the summer, maybe, depending on the direction Burke wants to go and if Toskala is traded/bought out/taken out back and shot.

by lordosis on Feb 6, 2009 12:23 PM EST up reply actions  

no...

not if the point is to loose.

why upgrade the one spot on our team guaranteed to let us down?

From TSN
The 32-year old Mason told FSN that he attributes his recent string of play to the fact that he feels lighter after getting his eyebrows tweezed and nose hairs waxed on January 15th.

In my day job, I occasionally have to coach people who are new to blogging. One of the toughest parts to get used is dealing with negative comments. Cox has been “blogging” for a while but has only been getting involved in the comments recently, so he’s pretty much a rookie.

He definitely let that one get away from him. But I’ve seen people fail a lot harder than he did, and he did eventually seem to realize it was time to move on.
