Meanwhile, back at the Kremlin...
- Steve brings his analysis to bear on Ian White, MVP(!?!).
- Toronto Sports Media covers Wilson's relationship with the...eh, Toronto Sports Media.
- Down Goes Brown was at Chapters at midnight to get the first copy of Leafs Abomination - it's easier to break in at that sort of time.
- Maple Leaf Hot Stove wonders if we'll be playing after April next year and also some heinous nonsense about OLAS starting life as a Duck.
- I think we need a little Schenngasm after that...kindly provided by Loser Domi in this case.
- The Hockey News has a piece on the forgotten man from deadline day, Jamie Heward.
- Finally, it's no longer open season on open goals apparently. But woe betides you if you've just scored one.

Howard Berger's most recent blog...
…is perhaps the most nauseating thing I have ever read.
I posted the link in a fanshot.
read only if you can restrain yourself.

I think that guys like Berger, and Don Cherry for that matter, forget that they, like the subject that they comment about, are entertainment. Yes, its better when your team wins, but just because they lose this does not disqualify it as entertainment. That’s why people buy the ticket – to be entertained by unscripted human drama. I mean fuck, that’s what has kept me going for over 40 years. If it is entertainment only when the home team wins, then this is more like gambling on a specific outcome, which for many I am told is also a form of entertainment.
If we follow Berger’s logic through, we can conclude that since only 1 team wins the cup every year, the other 29 have sheep for fans. They have an expression in french that to be a sheep you need walls. Berger is firmly trapped inside walls of self importance. Hey sheep, how’s it goin? Say hi to your mother for me. Who’s your fucking daddy sheep? The Leafs that’s who.

Every time blue with age does stuff like this, he makes me happy that Quebec moved to Colorado.
Sorry bwa, but we’d miss you. You’re my “lost their home team” buddy around here, too.

Actually, there is still a virtual version of the Nords, Le National. I just that I don’t go for contrived melodrama. I prefer when life imitates art.
Here’a sample plot line
“In Lance et Compte: La Revanche, Pierre Lambert’s son, Guy, is called up by Le National de Quebec in the middle of the season. In his first game he injures and kills a player from the Montreal Canadiens with a body check into the boards. The series primarily focuses on his trial and his love life.”

fucking EXACTLY man.
if you only support teams that are winning, and can’t actually enjoy the game of hockey itself, either you’re 9 years old or a Habs fan.

Jamie Heward = Rudy?
Did anyone else read the article on Heward and get a Rudy vibe hoping that Wilson will put Heward in for just one game at home? I sure did.

“If I happen not to play in the NHL again, I don’t want the last vision of me to be carried off the ice in a stretcher,” said Heward. “I’d like to be able to play my last game taking a jersey off instead of having it cut off.”
If he does play, I hope that quote is on the cover of the program.

Although it would be kind of funny if he got to play in the last game, only to get hurt in the first period and carted off again, followed by him continually coming back over the course of the game and being reinjured.
I can picture him dragging himself down the hallway and onto the ice in the dying seconds, a hockey version of Monty Python’s black knight.

Yeah.
I may have chosen the wrong Leaf to model facial hair on.
In retrospect, the Kubina-esque hobo beard may not be where it’s at.

I can almost grow the White/Wendel moustache but I have the slight problem of not being able to grow facial hair in the Hitler Zone.

If they do that, I’ll do what the boys at the cegep here do: since they can’t grow playoff beards on account of being 17, they dye their hair blue.
But if I were a dude, I’d so rock the Kubina hobo beard

I’ll be cruising a fierce Hobo beard when it happens. My stache growing technology fails to do a adequate job.

I am fortunate enough to be able to grow whatever beard/tache combo I like. But I hate shaving and am lazy, so the Kubina’s the default setting. I trim it, once every ten or so days to keep work happy.
And I have to go. Just a flying visit. Might be about for the game, might not.
Peace.
