PrintThis is the part where I, with the assistance of my co-host, summarize the new addition signings of the past day.
That's right. A big goose egg in the action department. You know that means? Minimum action in the Barilkosphere (pro tip to Brian Burke, we are like cattle and react well to prodding.) Here's to the hardcores who gave me something to work with!
- Our own bitter Leaf, mf37 asks "Do you know the street value of this truculence!?!?"
- Another secret conversation, another Down Goes Brown breaking exclusive! Today's installment: the real reason why Heatley didn't waive his NTC to go to Edmonton.
- Over the past few days Burke has made some moves. Pal Hal Pall is giving us the long view (well, long a view as 24 hours or so can give us)
- Karina ruined my big reveal by fan shotting this last night, but here it is anyways. TSM has heard rumblings of a potential three way trade between the Leafs, Sharks and Hawks. Details are scarce and names involved non-existent. Speculate away!
- Get to know the man I call Joe (and you call KOMIKAZI!!!!1) a little better. His recent league conference call sheds some light on the man, the mirth. the living being.
UPDATE
- eyebleaf finds video proof that Habs fans obsession with fire actually does extend beyond Police cars. Good for them, diversifying like that.

I sense much anger within him. He starts off all polite – “Hey Komi!”
Then he loses his shit … “Bitch!”

Hmmm...
How much do Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau make again? I HOPE those aren’t the names coming our way. I like players who put up points after April 1st.

It has come to my attention, again, that some twit has been impersonating me on Twitter…I am sure, in due course, this fraud will be taken care of, but as I head off on my summer vacation, be clear on one thing: I do not have a Twitter account, I do not “tweet” and if you read anything on Twitter from Bob McKenzie, you can be absolutely guaranteed it’s not coming from me…

A big goose egg in the action department.
What? Grabbo signed yesterday and Komikazi!!!1 was created yesterday! The only reason there was minimum action in the rest of the Barilkosphere is because PPP was expoding. In fact I’ll go back to what leafer said yesterday:
Today, is the greatest day in PPP history!!

I’m so happy Grabbo re-upped. He’s my 2nd favourite player on the roster.

My guess is he’s the consensus choice for 2nd favorite Leaf after Schenn right now. Kabby is a dark horse favorite. If he stays, he’s the sentimental choice. But Grabbo is the fastest rising star on the team right now, I think.

Kevin McGran of the Star put up another nice piece today on Komisarek and Exelby. It ends with a great quote:
“I look at this as a great opportunity for myself to make a step forward,” said Exelby. “It’s exciting to know that every game you’re going to play, you’ve got a soldout crowd and everyone is cheering.”
There is one problem, he said, about moving back to Canada after so many years in Atlanta.
“I honestly don’t know if I own winter clothes any more,” said Exelby.

Anyone else notice that there is no news coming out for Dominik Moore other than Jim Kelley’s piece at SI saying he’s not getting offers? I love it.
The jerk rejected a raise in Toronto thinking he could get more on the free market. Now I get to revel in the fact that his swollen ego is cost him a million dollars or so.

He’s going to end up getting a $750k two-way deal from Edmonton or Minnesota. Great business for them, but a fabulous ‘fuck you’ to him.

I’d take Dominic Moore back for a $1M a year 3 years kinda deal.

will you still think of him as a jerk,or worse…if he comes back to the Leafs?
After the past 3 days…nothing wouls surprise me anymore…..unless of course we got Vinnie in the biggest FU to the ’abs yet!
by wayne scarlett on Jul 3, 2009 10:52 AM EDT up reply actions
Yes I will. I thought of him as a jerk while he was on the Leafs as well. I’ve never liked him as a player.

What if there was a clause in his contract where he had to be Orr’s sparring partner?
And another where he has to spend half-an-hour every week carrying the puck through the neutral zone blindfolded in a full-contact, 1-on-everyone drill?

I’ll be glad to see him back but I’ll still laugh at him having to come back with his tail between his legs.

Since no one is pointing me to a video that actually has Kermit and Christian Bale in it together, I’ll post the next best thing.
