I Love you Mommy

Yesterday, my illustrious, hard-working partner found something quite intriguing on Passive Agressive notes. The letter pictured above was written by a young girl who shares my name. In it, she apologizes for calling her mom a "pice of poo". Frankly, I still haven't stopped laughing at it - firstly, that there's another Karina out there who has a reported infatuation with poo, and secondly that had I ever called my mom a piece of poo, I would have received the thrashing of my life. In fact, I can only recall ever back talking to my mom once, when she asked me to clean my room and I angrily said "NO!". That didn't end well for me. But then, I was a quiet, mild, obedient child, while I had two older brothers who'd been rather rambunctious, who did a lot worse. I had the fear of my mom put into me by watching what they did. What's the worst thing you ever said to your mom?
Oh, and when's mother's day? I think a print out of this might be in store for my mom, as it will give her a good laugh too.

from an article when Caputi came to Toronto
Having yet to officially be introduced to his new Maple Leafs teammates, Caputi, 21, is in the middle of an interview when he is approached by a guy in a spiffy suit.
"Hi, I’m Dion Phaneuf," he is told. "Welcome to the team. Join us for dinner when your interview is done."

He should get his payday with the Leafs – I can’t imagine the KHL paying him more than the Leafs would. But then again he is Russian, and they love re-patriating their players.

Have we ever heard anything other than sheer speculation and gossip to the contrary?
I have to also think (1) Russian oligarchs have less money than a couple years ago to waste on NHL has-beens, and (2) post-Olympics, the KHL has been exposed as vastly overrated.
by The '67 Sound on Mar 9, 2010 1:54 PM EST up reply actions
The only time I ever heard this rumour was back at the start of the season when Kulemin got scratched to start the season, and appeared to be in Wilson’s doghouse.
He’s clearly established his role on this team now, and coupled with the points 67 Sound raises above, I’d be seriously shocked if he left for the KHL.
Someone could potentially offer sheet him, but I’d be shocked if he left for the KHL.

Yeah, for how awesome he frequently looks out there it surprises me how low his point totals are, even when he’s playing in the Top 6. If he adds a little finish to his game he’s definitely a major asset.
I’m hoping his mediocre point totals allow us to sign him to a good deal this offseason.

Towards the end of Stevens’ career more of his knockout shots were hits to the head, from what I can remember. I don’t know if the Lindros and Kariya hits were in that category, but I definitely remember him concussing a few guys, and my opinion of him changed from a tough but fair hitter to a headhunter.
It’s like he got so caught up in his own hype he needed his hits to be more destructive each time. Well they were, but I also think they were illegal and reckless.
Of course, with the NHL’s Wheel of Justice, we know how much he got penalized for those headshots…

The one to Shane WIllis was vicious. I remember one that really fucked up Eric that was to the chest

Gotta remember that these guys don’t wear full face masks. That little chin strap only does so much to keep the helmet in the right position on the head. It was more the head hitting the ice in the case of Lindros and others than Stephens shoulder to the face.
The little chin strap does even less when it’s a foot away from the guy’s chin.

It’s a completely different hit if the guy is coming across the middle of the ice with his head down and you pop him. Savard and Booth had no chance to protect themselves because it was a blindside hit. Same with the Nichols hit the other day by Laperierre. Lindros and Kariya had the chance to protect themselves.
Totally agree. Same with Ohlund’s (?) big hit on Kessel. Seem to remember Wilson pointing that one out as fair game.

This is not a joke
Today at work a Habs fan was saying that a Leafs fan he works with bought a signed Wendel picture for $198 the other day (glossy 8.5 by 11 i believe)
An Ottawa fan (of course) said ‘Who the hell would pay for a Wendel Clark autograph’
I immediately yelled across the full lunch room “Wendel will find you and punch your head in!”
To the Habs fan I said “He could always make more than what he paid.”
The Habs fan said “12 years ago I was in (insert stripclub name) and Wendel was there with a bunch of strippers around him, I walked up and asked for his autograph and he signed for me.”
Just had to share that story with ppl who would appreciate it.

this is the difference between a Habs fan (a real Fan of a respectable team) and a Sens “Fan”.
Don’t get me wrong, I can’t stand either types, but if given a choice, I’d much rather watch a hockey game with a Habs fan than a Sens fan. At least (most) habs fans know a thing or two about the game and know a talented player when they see one (I’ve met lots of habs fans, many of which were actually alright to be around)…
...Being surrounded by Sens and Habs fans makes me lose faith in humanity...

Agreed
Other than clearly cheering for the wrong team, its hard to argue with their passion, and SOME fans have smarts.
I am of course NOT including the classic “Golf Leafs Golf, plan the parade, Maple Laffs” group, of which both sides have moronic fans.

I like it! Wendel is awesomeness personified.
And El Monstruo is right as well, Habs fans are a lot of things, but ignorant of hockey knowledge and history is not one of them.
In my time here in Ottawa I’ve met at most one Sens fan who could be classified as knowledgeable about the game and who would rather be respectful and civil in having good debates with Leaf fans than automatically and mindlessly trash anything Leaf and Toronto related.

Yah, this guy I am talking about is definitely a Habs fan through and through but he does agree that our team could be good in a few years. He can actually admit to thinking some of our players are pretty good and have potential.
Also, he hates the fact that his team will have to play against Dion for many years to come.
