Do You Know How Fast You Were Going?

by Wrap Around Curl on Jul 12, 2009 5:00 AM EDT in From The Branches

You know, I was going to see just how many references I could cram into this FTB. Instead, this is how I am going to play it. I am going to post this one picture. And turn you all loose and let the magic happen.

Here are your Sunday FTB links;

The Brian Burke Plan. How he stripped the team and brought in some fresh blood. Viva La Burkie.
Sleza posts the first part of her ten most thrilling players of the NHL. This is a good exercise for us all. You can take your time and fanpost your thoughtful answers.
For some light weekend reading, Loser Domi is up to her usual schennanigans and is back with Czech Mates Part 2.
So, it's that time of year when most would talk about Mats Sundin. Not so much this time...
This post is relevant to our interests; Georges Laraque is now a vegan and celebrated the occasion by eating at KFC. I know know...Just read it.
Also relevant to our interests from ONTD; look at these pictures of Mike Comrie and Hilary Duff and think about just how good looking our Maple Leafs are.
C'est Something Nice to those Habs, ok?
Can you believe it's been one year, babydoll?

Drop anything in the comments I missed.

And your lunchtime powerup;

It's a year old article but it's interesting since Brian Burke wrote it. His approach and thoughts when he was a GM in Anaheim.
Jared brings you some LOLSchenns. Please be smart and always, always use protection.

Super Troopers reference awesome. Man, I can’t wait for Super Troopers 2

40 years we've stayed loyal, waited, and pained. That is the honor of being a Leafs' fan.

Something that shows... Brian Burke wouldnt do anything crazy.

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/hockey/nhl/ducks/2007-03-01-burke-diary_x.htm

This is a blog that he wrote during ’07 Trading Deadline for USA Today, which shows that Brian Burke wouldnt do anything crazy (like trading of young players). Just found it interesting….

He could very well be. Or The Windsor newspaper that took this hired a chimp with a Motorola Razr to take the picture.

Well at least the chimps are getting work. Lucky lower-on-the-genetic-totem-pole bastards. Probably work for occasional fruit, too.

I don’t like this “wearing 42” trend.

Unless we just want to pretend that Kyle Wellwood got his act together and is now named Bozak.
