Jesus H. Christ.

Now, I'm a big believer in that old "It's always the darkest just before dawn" doctrine, but this really takes the biscuit. And the cup of coffee it came with. And the table you're drinking it off. And probably your pants too. I haven't been this depressed since the last time I caught sight of myself naked in a mirror.

The weekend desk isn't one for getting all biblical very often but as PPP says in his review, when that shorty went in, you just knew, didn't you? It was preordained. And all with the leering visage of Raycroft in goal too. Look at that picture to the right. Are you seriously telling me that there was NO-ONE with a Molotov cocktail and a decent throwing arm in the ACC last night? Justice takes many forms, but there is no justice like angry mob justice.

Hey ho. Same time again, Tuesday night? New Jersey again, you say? And then again on Friday? Looks like we chose the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.

Specifics as to whether the deal will be for an upgrade in goal, or for offensive help, weren't provided, however this deal and potentially others are very close to being completed.
