Bruins at Leafs: Nickname Day

Wideman lol (Photoshop by noted Bruins hater Travis Hair)

Mikhail Grabovski aka "The Pineapple Pro" aka "The Kona Killer" aka "the Kilauea Kid" aka... sorry I'll stop. Mikhail Grabovski returns to action tonight. AM640's Jonas Siegel has Grabovski centering Nikolai Kulemin and Viktor Stalberg aka "The Swedish Sensation" aka "Hotter than a Stockholm Sauna". Luca Caputi aka "Dorian Gray" gets bumped up to a line with Tyler Bozak and Phil Kessel aka "Phillll Kesssellllll".

Kessel looked solid against Boston last week. He used his speed to get separation but just couldn't beat Tim Thomas. He'll likely get another chance tonight as the expected goaltenders are Thomas and Jonas Gustavsson.

Boston will be without Marc Savard who bonked his head and has flown back to Massachusetts. (Just kidding Bruins fans, calm down.) Neither team is bringing any offense tonight so Gustavsson will need to be solid. There's a good chance that two goals wins the game tonight.

If Kessel finally scores tonight, then who can say that he can’t score Savard!? Clearly, the problem will have been when Savard is IN their lineup. Ha. Ha. Sigh…

Why would you give a phat extension to a guy whose career high of 45 points came 5 years ago? Steen screams “career third liner” to me and while I can see his value in that role if you pay him more than $2MM you’re nuts.

Or has he turned into something significantly more valuable this year?

Patrik Stefan is retired. He claims that it’s injuries, which i’m guessing are mainly towards his confidence after not being able to score on an empty net from about 20 feet from the net

You know Cornelius, given the Kessel trade you could easily have been an insufferable dick around here. We’re an easy target. Given how bitter we’ll all be on draft day it’s a credit to you that you’re still so well received in these parts.

Right now, the baby only wants this thing called, “Honk, Toot and Swo-Swoosh.”

Cheap animation and bad dialogue (“What should we call our snowman?” “I have a great idea! Let’s call him ‘Mr. Snowman!!!’

But – he eats with minimal fuss…

I suppose parental priorities place the childs eating ahead of your own sanity

Though if your child ever brings this home if a loot bag:

throw it out before anyone sees it.

I’m not showing my future kids any of this crap.

They’re watching hockey as soon as possible.

If I’m going to spend the first 5 years of their lives brainwashing them with television, might as well be worth watching.

In fact, should anyone truly loathe “Firefly,” I will cheerfully send you the “Honk, Toot and Swo-Swoosh” collection once the baby tires of it.

Wiggles are awful. Dora’s super annoying – she’s always yelling, and they repeat everything about a hundred times.

67ers is right though… Barney is a special kind of bad / freaky. We don’t allow it.

How dare you put backyardigans in the same class as In the Night Garden???? Backyardigans are quality as far as kid’s programming goes, top notch music too. In the Night Garden is freaky freaky sh8t.
