PrintThank heavens for small victories. Now find some wood to knock on, avoid all ladders and black cats, not open our umbrellas indoors and for Pete's sake, don't break any mirrors!
Now, there's only one question left to ask...
dirty harry do you feel lucky (via uclachicken)
- Since not much else has happened, mf37 has his take on the Stralman trade. While the Other Vatican takes a different approach.
- The general presents you with this season's leading Larry Murphy candidates.
- TSM thinks Burke is a slight of hand master. He manages the team with one hand, and in the other is the media. Neither seems to have any idea what the other is doing, which doesn't work to well for the MSM.
- The Hungry Leafs Fan will beat you with this burrito should you try and rob him. You've been warned.
- Kohma fears the possibility of Stralman becoming an NHL defender and hopes that for once the Leafs' pick turns out to be the Hall of Famer.
- Puck Daddy had a great gallery of home made jersey fouls, and a link to the generator that made them.
- For your discussion, may I present Pucks and Pitchforks' best Hockey Uniforms. Any missing?

Except that they compromised historical accuracy for the sake of rhyming.
Russia did not have a queen, they had a Tsarina or Czarina.

If I could afford it, Karina, I’d go with in a flash. I still have distant cousins over there somewhere in Gronigen or Drente, I think. I want to catch a couple of voetball games and get a hockey jersey. Plus, I haven’t smoked weed since I was a teen.

A few of them used to come over when I was a grade schooler/ early teenager. Oma Yup (his career was caretaker for a voetball stadium, and on the way home, he’d stop by the Heineken brewery and grab a fresh 6-pack) and a couple others. It’s been a while, but my brother is going over with his wife (her family is from Denmark) and I’ll have to convince him to get me a jersey.
My dad is from Gronigen and my mom from Drente, they came over in ’49 and ’52 or so and married here.

nice
my oma is from gronigen, she married my grandfather after WW2…. her sisters and brothers would often visit, one of my mom’s cousins would come quite often until her husband was killed in a work accident. Her daughter has since comitted suicide, it’s a tragic story. But my aunt and uncle have gone over a few times – before and after the accident – so when I go I’ll have someone to stay with and take us around.

Almost everyone I’ve ever talked to about it, particularly those who travel lots, say that visiting the Netherlands was the most welcoming, hospitable and enjoyable of all their trips. Especially if you have relations or friends who can guide you to the best parts. There are many things about growing up Dutch-Canuck that I would jettison, but the social enjoyment and the love of hospitality and food aren’t included.

Agree with you about the jerseys. The Bruins with the big bear head is one of the rare cool third jerseys. Also, I remember when the Northstars were in the leaugue and at the time I thought their jerseys were awful, mostly because of the yellow and green.
The best jerseys are the Red Wings, Devils, Blackhawks, and of course, the Maple Leafs. The Buffalo Sabres original jerseys aren’t bad either. And I have a white Nordiques home jersey with #17 Clark on the back.

I was googling trying to figure out what the hell the Nordiques logo is supposed to be, and found out apparently the Diqs had a new logo planned.. (atleast according to Wikipedia)
Can you imagine the Nordiques in the wolf jersey vs. the Islanders in their Gorton’s kit?

Never really saw an ‘n’ in there particularly, though I guess you can make the case for it.
Then again, it must have been 15 years before I finally clued in that the ‘elb’ in the Expos logo was actually an ‘m’.

top 5
I have a thing for jerseys other people think are ugly. For example, one my favourites is the Canuck’s flying V. Yes, I know…
1. Blackhawks (red) Most intricate design, but simplest colour scheme
2. Leafs (blue, either 80s or 1933 crest) Simple, classic.
3. Habs (red) Have to admit it is classic. I never liked the white ones though.
4. Whalers (81-82 or 89-90, green, whale, no harpoon)
5. Flying V (orange) I really like orange. (I also kind of liked the red and orange Pavel Bure era ones).
I also like the yellow Canada 1920 (Winnipeg Falcons) and of course the 1972 series (Canada and Russia). I agree with the original like that Sweden’s is solid, but I wouldn’t call it a favourite.

aren’t so bad, kinda like them, a bit more of an old school throw-back… the ones from 2006 Olympics, which I do have (it was 50% off at a sportsmart that was closing) are just disappointing

The only team Canada jersey I have is the red one with that logo. I spend my money on Leafs jerseys instead.

Jerseys are my expensive collection. All told I’m in the mid 30s, though some were passed down from me from my father. Since I’m now a broke student, I have resorted just to Canadian jerseys. I’m content with my three Leaf jerseys until I get a career.
I have a team Canada jersey autographed by nieuwendyk if you’re interested. I won it at a contest at my old job, but i’m not really a jersey collector at all – i only buy ones i’ll wear. this one is enormous (XXL), so it just sits in my closet.
sold!

Hmmmm
Anyone see this from GM Lawton:
"I’d like to add another top-six forward, one that adds a little different chemistry, a little more speed. We want to play a more up-tempo game. And we really want guys that care."
Sounds to me like they want Jason Blake.

Meet Jesse Blacker-
Lot’s of win in his LeafsNationLive interview-
"It’s still a surreal feeling for me when I think of being drafted by the Toronto Maple Leafs. It’s an unbelievable feeling, and it’s a great honour to play for your hometown, particularly when they have as much class and history as the Leafs do."
Blacker admits that it will be a little goosebump inducing the first time he gets on the ice at the Air Canada Centre.
"Yeah I mean, I remember my first game their as a fan. I think we beat Florida 4-3 in overtime that night. I mean, as a young kid who plays hockey, you’re sitting there thinking to yourself how great it would if you could someday play here as a member of the Maple Leafs."

I heard a great interview with Ed Snider, the owner of the Flyers, about how in their first year in the league they had nothing but French skill players and they got their asses kicked.
He said “never again” and the Broad St. Bullies were born.

There’s not even money changing hands . It’s a restructuring of debt. The creditors will be pissed.

which is why I don’t think it’s on the level. If there was a judge choosing an owner based on who would pay off the creditors, it would not be Reisendorf.
