The only way "tribute" should be given to Steve MacIntyre is if he is guarding a bridge and demanding payment to get across.
Comedy gold Ducey.
Also Dennis posted the super secret transcript where Lowe tells Tambellini who to pick 1st overall, and blogger immediately went down. Mr. King then went missing and was replaced by another man insisting that he is indeed the real Mr. King and always has been.
It was like the Caramilk commercial, fpb typing away with salty-orange fingertips, "But Coutur..."
He didn't even get to finish the name. Blogger bombed back into the Stone Age, and our fair pal rubbed out by some hit-squad who came in on a stealth Zamboni and left it smoking in his backyard.
Hey, if Blogger has a better explanation, I haven't heard it.
So. I was cheering for Det last night, mainly because my father is a lifelong wings fan.
After the game though, he emailed me (iPhones are an amazing device) and offered, that he is ok with Det losing because he thought SJ are more capable of beating Vancouver.
He'd rather his team lost than risk Vancouver winning. How bad do people hate that franchise? It's hilarious.
I also would love to see the Sharks oust the Canucks because I dislike them so much.But then I would get the added bonus of seeing the look on Heatly's face when he loses the final.
I don't know if anyone else noticed but just before blogger went AWOL, all the main posts on this site were by "babcooks" and not Lowetide.
Which just confirms my theory that the Red Wings are trying to hack this site, download it to the Little Caesar servers and disappear all our thoughts and insights forever and ever.
LT, I have drafted Steve MacIntyre's post for you.
Steve MacIntyre:
.1. What did Steve MacIntryre do this season? In game one he destroyed Raitis Ivanans to put the cherry on top of one of the best games in a generation.
2. What were his other contributions this season? It was just awesome, he totally kicked his ass...and Eberle scored that goal - awesome.
3. Yes, but focusing on the rest of the season, what did he contribute? Uhhhm, after the first game, hmmm. Not sure. Was he the guy who was really good in the room?
4. No that was Strudwick Ok, then I can't think of anything - sorry.
No thread, so I can write whatever's on my mind. Love it!
I hate to admit it, but the more I look at the Oilers roster, the more I think that Tambo should put the pillow over the team for one more year.
Baring a miracle in the off season, there's still not really much on this roster to build around yet.
The oft-injured vets like Horcoff, Hemsky, and Whitney don't provide much to build on. Lose Whitney to injury again and next season's another wash.
Not to bait or worse yet agree with, Traktor, but it would be hard to argue that Horcoff would slot in any better than 3c at this point in his career on a playoff team. He's no Sedin, Kessler, Jordan Staal, Malkin, or Bergeron.
Gagner's no Couture and Cogliano and Fraser probably don't start at centre on a decent team.
We do have some exciting rookie wingers in HOPE, but then there's our Doobie/Boozie tandem in net along with a pretty mediocre defensive corps.
Unless the Oilers can bring in a pseudo 1C like Horcoff in his prime, a stud dman, and some veteran role players, maybe we are better off playing the lotto one more time.
Frustrating for sure, but there's still such a long way to go for this team to compete. Am I wrong? In the mean time, I'll just shut my big yap.
PDO, Granlund in two seasons in the top tier of the SM-Liiga is just under a ppg. He was 2nd in playoff scoring on his team this season as well en route to the league championship.
He was rated at the top European prospect last year, and was touted as the prospect with the highest hockey IQ in the draft. His major drawback was a 5'10" 170lb frame. Then again Datsyuk and Sakic weren't giants eh? Wonder how he stacks up against RHN...looks like Minnesota got another gooder at 9th overall.
Koivu and Granlund down the middle...Fins = Wins as Bruce likes to say.
I don't know of better place to look so might a pose a question and quickly be of our your hairs?
I'm looking for a post where Behindthenet, or, perhaps someone who is now writing papers based on those stats (MC79, Willis, ect) shows the consistency in the BTN numbers when measured against a fixed variable.
Or, better yet, what exactly IS the fixed variable in which we can measure one player against against another and not against randomness.
Free James Brown!
ReplyDeleteLike, please hurry man. I've got the shakes like crazy and I need my fix!
ReplyDeletewerogies - werewolf perogies?
Steve MacIntyre's tribute will be posted tonight
ReplyDeleteThe only way "tribute" should be given to Steve MacIntyre is if he is guarding a bridge and demanding payment to get across.
I see that the Journal (I assume Matheson) posted their top 10 for the draft today. They had RNH first, followed by Larssen and then Landeskog.
Couturier was seventh!?
was it me again?
ReplyDeleteIs it me?

18 Canadians and 4 Gold Medal winners on the most popular team in Canada, the San Jose Sharks!
ReplyDeleteFuck the Dys.
Well, it's warm there when the rest of us are freezing our tails off, and they can Still go skiing without driving 4 hours.
ReplyDeleteThat should get them a little ballast on the Hate-o-meter, before you even get Started on the frigging team.
Go, umm, Sharks!
Dany, we hardly knew ya, but you could do one right by us now.
I believe Google is in the process of adding the deleted posts back to all the blogger sites. Might take them some time.
ReplyDeleteAlice: Funny stuff. Sadly I don't eat/like cheetos.
ReplyDeleteI also would love to see the Sharks oust the Canucks because I dislike them so much.But then I would get the added bonus of seeing the look on Heatly's face when he loses the final.
ReplyDeleteI'm with FPB, more of chip man myself, never got the big deal with those powdery orange husks.
ReplyDeleteThe image of a Zamboni deliver ninja strike squad to Dennis's NL homestead had me chuckling to myself at my desk.
Well played Al =).

5 years, $15 million for Grabner.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing what the Leafs sign Reimer for.
That Grabner contract seems a little generous.
ReplyDeleteThe guy's high water mark was 55 pts in the WHL and 48 pts in the AHL.
No doubt he had a nice rookie season with 52 pts but I'd be waiting a year or so to see if it was for real before paying him out.
LT:
ReplyDeleteI sent an e-mail to the nation radio box re: Blogger. Give it a read and let me know what you think.
I wonder if Grabner got the $ to help the Isles get to the cap floor.Remember this is a team still using Yashin's contract to get to league min.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen someone pick a puck up like Granlund did at full speed...
