C’mon Burkie Claus (tm someone from the comments – I forget who) bring me some trades and good players!

I thought it might have been, but didn’t want to credit you and annoy the actual author.
Well done blurr. I like Burkie Claus.

thanks
but the more I think about it, the more i think i stole it from Jared. It sounds positively Jaredidian…

has his tie ever been properly done up?

Heh. :)
As long as he avoids the pineapples – those are sharp and pokey.

Has the stress of the Leafs made him fat? Maybe Wellwood has an excuse.

I always thought he was ‘a decent size’ anyway?

I was thinking the same thing.

Clearly he’s been saving it up for a while.

For some reason...
I’m envisioning Burke running on a treadmill with the Rocky theme playing in the background as his preparation for battle.
Being a Leaf fan here requires one to be sufficiently lubricated!
he’s preparing to feast on feeble GM’s!

I like the way you think. Hope you’re hungry for feeble GMs, Burke!

I hear they are tasty with hickory smoke flavour BBQ sauce!

It's about time
I’ve been lurking for quite a while. Couldn’t say how long. Funny thing about being unemployed (and usually drunk), the days all run together.

i see you’re a gin drinker.
You’ve got a friend in Mabel me thinks…
Here’s a link to the PPP Dictionary, in case you don’t understand anything.

What about gin?
Did someone mention me and my bev of choice?
"If this is another one of your lectures about how we should all blah blah blah and whatever, well you can save it because we all know it by heart."
My Poor Friend Me apparently loves it too
there needs to be champagne club here too….

Not until PLAYOFFS

Champagne is for celebrating, really, so as long as there’s something to celebrate and toast and such, champagne happens.
Put champagne in front of me, I’ll find a reason.

So come sit by me, My Poor Friend Me.

Gladly
Just went on a gin run, so I’m stocked up to celebrate/drown sorrows once things get started.
by My Poor Friend Me on Jun 26, 2009 5:25 PM EDT up reply actions
Perfect! I like it with tonic, and a bit of lime if you’ve got it.
I’m hoping we’re going to be celebrating, but years as a Leaf fan have taught me to not count my chickens…

Done and Done
You got a favourite? I’ve got Tanqueray, Bombay Saphire, Tanq no. 10, & OriGINe (see what they did there?). I’m on the regular Tanq tonight, as it was dirt cheap ($21 for 1.75L? Thankyou Mr Costco).
I too am hoping to celebrate, but yeah…chickens…

Why does no-one like Gordon’s these days? :(
You should wash your beard, then shave it off, nail it to a Frisbee and fling it over a rainbow.
i drank plenty of Gordon’s when I lived in the UK. Not so easy to in California though. I haven’t tasted the two side by side, so I could be way off about this, but I think that Gordon’s & Tanq are pretty comperable
by My Poor Friend Me on Jun 26, 2009 6:31 PM EDT up reply actions
Wow
You do like your gin. We should hang out…
I’m usually a Bombay Saphire kind of girl, but I do enjoy the Tanq as well.
Burke might change things though – he isn’t going for the insane deal Boston wanted, so I’m taking that as a good omen.
"If this is another one of your lectures about how we should all blah blah blah and whatever, well you can save it because we all know it by heart."
Can’t go wrong with Bombay Saphire! If you get a chance to try Tanq no. 10, it is well worth it. It is much nicer than the regular Tanq.
The rejected Boston trade is cause for the first celebratory G&T! I hope my tonic store make it through the night…

That’s it. That’s what he’s thinking.
"If this is another one of your lectures about how we should all blah blah blah and whatever, well you can save it because we all know it by heart."
i think he’s on the phone with Murray telling him we’ll take Heatley for the rights to Pogge, while trying to stifle back giggles

We’ll just need to fire one of those darts in him, like with elephants when they get out of control.

I was wondering about that qualifier too. But maybe he’s just being smart and hedging his bets. What if he doesn’t end up a Leaf? Doesn’t want to piss off some other team’s fans right off the bat, right?

Weird
all activity seems to have ground to a halt. Nothing new on Twitter for over 20 minutes now…
it’s oh so quiet…

and now this
Mirtle just twittered that Duhatschek has said

that means
Tampa’s pick instantly comes in play. At least, that’s what i’ve read from a few Tampa sights.

I still think they’ll take Hedman.

Seems to make more sense for them. They’ve got next to nothing on the blue line.
Tavares is the sexy pick for them, but they’ve got some really good forwards coming up now…

What if they get Kaberle or Kubina + Leafs 7th overall to pick Cowen?

But the Hat said that if Tavares is on board at number 2, they’re trading Lecavalier.

i think you're right...
I’ve read WAY too many rumours to keep them all straight today.
here’s a bit from Raw Charge re: 2nd overall pick and Lecavalier.

maybe ...
The Islanders figure that if they DON’T take Tavares, their fans will destroy the rink in wild, drunken riots and they will have no choice but to get a fancy, spiffy new one.

Heh. You could be onto something here, Baroque.
"If this is another one of your lectures about how we should all blah blah blah and whatever, well you can save it because we all know it by heart."
gotta give Snow his due. He may be a rookie GM, but he came out of last years draft with quite a few pieces by trading down.
One great player won’t make a team better, but groups of good players will…

Thanks blurr for the update. Been checking sporadically (underutilized word IMO) on the radio for big moves, but no news. Apparently, some guy died yesterday.
