Tre Kronor??? Finland would be better choice… you know, we play in blue and white and have problems with winning shiny thingys

That’s the problem, I have enough of that normally.

Russia? They’re great at hockey and have a good sense not to wear yellow and blue

Sorry, my mind is made up. At least until the next FTB.

You’re mean… though that goal gave them reason to quote Puck Daddy and it didn’t happen in a game that would matter so it’s sorta almost cool

Great photo of Cujo and White. There’s some other good one’s there as well: Mayers’ goal celebration; Schenn hit on Richards, group shot of Devereaux, White, Stajan, and Schenn. Nice feature having the extra photos.

Cool article here from Ottawa (of all places) on Todd Gill and the Brockville Braves. Lots of good quotes. I’d still love to see him as head coach of the Leafs someday down the road.

Imagine all the archival game film Gill could draw on to teach the Leafs D how to avoid giving away the puck.

Really?

Boyd Devereaux is in to the same kinda tunes I am? Weird. I always cringe at the tunes NHL players say they listen to to get riled up? Shania Twain? Nickelback is far too popular around the NHL. I was in a Stoner band for years and Boyd Devereaux just introduced me to Boris…….neat?

Tanking by accident?

dude...

BORIS is awesome…

Awesome, Nadja!

Very cool taste in music that guy has. They should give him a celeb playlist thing on iTunes. Usually they just do that during the playoffs, with buttloads of nickelback, ugh.

Gerber power!!!1
