Happy Funnel Cake Day!

Ah, Labour Day. The last day of freedom before school starts for any of you youngsters out there (and masters students). Once you enter the workforce, Labour Day is just another stat holiday, making it awesome. For me, I go to the Fair on Labour Day. The last day of the CNE or PNE (depending on which city I'm in in any given year). And since I've moved to Vancouver, without the benefit of being close to Canada's Wonderland, I go to the fair for one reason: the Funnel Cake.
I may also eat some deep fried oreos today. And maybe deep fried butter if I work up enough nerve or convince someone to try it with me. Anyways, hopefully you find something to do today, especially if it marks the end of your summer vacation. Here are your links:

I haven't read any news this weekend, so maybe this has been covered, but it seems Cox is pissing off more than us Leaf and Jays fans. - Albert Pudas
From Toronto Maple Leafs Legends, we learn about the first ever Finnish NHLer. - Stops and starts heading into Leaf camp
Vintage Leaf Memories has some talking points as we head into training camp. - PHT readers think John Tortorella is the coach most likely to be fired

If I were anywhere near you today, I’d try deep-fried butter with you Karina.

Enjoy it while you can dude. I’d love to have 2+ months off in the summer at the expense of some math homework.

not “some”.. and research for a 5000 word essay.. but ok
I think next summer will be more fun

At least you can do all that stuff in your pajamas, outside if you want. Nothing sucks more than having to get up early and work inside every weekday during the summer in perpetuity.

eh, true. It was fun till it lasted. Now I’m just waiting for winter vacation (and obviously hockey)

and you were a distant relative of Jason Spezza.
I always think one step ahead. Like a carpenter who specializes in building staircases.
I think being a direct relative of Spezza would be worse.

How about the two old men, one a retired professor of psychology and the other a retired professor of history.
Their wives had talked them into a two week stay at a hotel in the Catskills.
They were sitting around on the porch of the hotel watching the sun set.
The history professor said to the psychology professor, “Have you read Marx?”
To which the professor of psychology said, “Yes, I think it’s the wicker chairs.”

Leonsis vs. Cox
The Caps owner should send some thugs his way and really teach him a lesson! I know he would be doing me a favour ;)
wait
Damien Cox said something without evidence to back it up, started a bitchfight on twitter, and retreated when things got too hot for him?
It must be Monday.

You missed out the part where he tells the world that he doesn’t block people who disagree with him, only the ones who insult him.

You gotta bring your own pitchforks.
He raged at the world, at his family, at his life. But mostly he just raged.
Just because Jay McClement is the best defensive forward in the NHL doesn't mean he should win the Selke.
…I have no pitchfork. Will a semi-pointy stick suffice?
I will eat a bowl of cherries and some ghost meat in his honor.
…HA! I totally just realized how that could be taken. Complete accident.

I know. I was shocked when he told me that. It’s quite the irony considering how many contributors he blocked. But it opens up a whole new world. I’m excited by the possibilities.

Happy Labour Day!
And for some reason I keep hearing Kathy Griffin’s voice imitating Oprah Winfrey… “Deep Fried Butter!!!”
Twitter: RJAndTheCity
Web site: R.J. And The City
I’m hearing Paula Deen
Now we’re gonna whip up one of my down-home favorites—bacon-wrapped deep-fried butter.

Paula Deen gets chopped and screwed. I never thought I’d see the day…and I love it!

I really think
Kadri and kessel will make some sweet music this year. Leaving bozak as a 2nd line C. He makes every one he plays with better. I believe kadri has that skill aswell.
by jmobes on Sep 6, 2010 2:04 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
I think they leave Kadri with the Marlies until either injuries hit or we get to the all-star break. Then they re-assess.

Not that I don't mind artificially inflated traffic stats
But wouldn’t it have made more sense to just link to the MarliesHQ article? :P
I linked to the one that showed up in my google reader

So
Greg Brady says the Leafs won’t help out the Devils’ cap situation. I’m inclined to agree with him on this one… but at the same time… does he really think that Rolston would help the Leafs’ offense??? really?

I'm still shocked
that people think Lou can move Rolston.
He has a full NTC on a contender. Why on earth would he waive it for ANY team unless he has a particular dislike for NJ? I just don’t understand what possible logic would make him waive, short of a gun to his head.

I am still stunned that Brady thinks the Leafs would even sniff at Rolston.
