Bright Light City Gonna Set My Soul, Gonna Set My Soul on Fire

PrintThe NHL awards are happening in Vegas baby! I'm mailing this one in, and hitting the road. As the South West PPP contingent, it's my understanding that I have a press pass for the show, an all expenses paid suite at the Luxor and $5000 spending money. At least, I'm assuming that's the limit on this card of Chemmy's I found...
In honor of the awards, all links today have nothing to do with them (and no, I'm not going to the awards. Something about the gulag's plumbing backing up...)
- Down Goes Brown takes us on a nostalgic trip to a kinder, gentler time in the NHL. Did I say gentler? I meant not gentle. And not kind. Quite frankly, it's freaking AWESOME!
- Initially, I thought Steve was finally getting around to an analysis of Dean Youngbloods career. Turns out, he's talking Leaf rookies...
- TSM catches wind of an Al Strachan trade rumor. It smells of cabbage and rotten cheese.
- Norman James hid in Mario Lemieux's bushes all day to get some shots of the Stanley Cup victory party. No, I don't think that's creepy at all.
- MYFO is giving out high fives. Here's one for head coaches!
-
Hockey's Future takes us on a tour of the Leafs prospect cupboards. Let's just say, we haven't been buying bulk at Costco.
-
The Monster visits Dallas, and the Swedish contingent pulls out all the stops.

Is anyone going to Vegas?
40 years we've stayed loyal, waited, and pained. That is the honor of being a Leafs' fan.
nope. Have they even sold out the theatre?

Tickets are $500. I don’t think it’ll happen.

So you’re not going? You could totally just make your way to LA and hang out with me and the HS/HS boys!
are you going...?
I thought about it, but $500 for an awards ceremony is ridiculous, Vegas or not…

That was a thought but I’ve been to them already in Toronto and it’s not that exciting.

i’m trying to think who would be the first NHL player not named Sean Avery to “make it rain”

baseball is Rangers’ summer camp to stay fit…?
They’re trying to get a Swede sign with them by taking him to baseball game? Well, that makes sense…
Как же так может быть?

It originated from ‘rugby football’ . It also originated in Canada through McGill University so Americans can really only take credit for baseball as their invented sport.

So Gustavsson closer to Tellqvist or Lundqvist?

Came across this
wish I’d seen it for the FTB, but anyhoo…
The Detroit Free Press has an article on Lidstrom’s injury. Money quote:
Two days earlier, the Blackhawks’ Patrick Sharp had speared Lidstrom in his testicles. Lidstrom practiced the next day, which says something about the man; you don’t have to be Allen Iverson to think speared testicles are a good reason to skip practice.
If you can stomach it, here’s the whole article.

Ah Iverson, after Andy Roddick , the best press conference ever.

Interesting trade rumour. Not a huge fan of Zidlicky but Harding is definitely intriguing. He’d be a good pickup, I think, if Monster signs elsewhere.
But it’s probably not happening if Strachan is reporting the rumour, he’s an idiot.
Being a Leaf fan here requires one to be sufficiently lubricated!
