we could talk about the ASG draft. I'm not sure what was worse...the draft show or the prep I was doing last night for my Colonoscopy today. Both were somewhat nauseating and sickeningly sweet. One of them seemed like it took forever and forced me to run to the bathroom every few minutes and the other one was prescribed by my doctor.

edit: Alyonka Larionov looked as miserable talking about Twitter as I felt.

You need a different doc. There are tablets now so you just take them and drink water. Same effect, but no issue with ookyness or sweetness of the prep.

thought some of you may get a kick out this, my kid is earning her nickname of Carcillo today.

It's hockey jersey day at school, the memo said "Hockey Jersey day at school Friday, everybody wear your Leafs jersey's"

My daughter is not a Leaf fan nor do we own a Leaf jersey.

This is how Emma dressed for school today

1. Wrong. Not flashy enough
2. Wrong. Homer will sign him to 18 years
3. Wrong. Riding the rooks
4. Wrong. He'll make some noise in the post-season
5. Wrong. That'll happen next year

I'm sure people don't want to hear the details of this. Suffice it to say I'm not new to this and I'm seeing the best GI for inflamatory bowel disease in Philly. Those pills are very aggressive and can flare those who are sensitive.

1 Sean Couturier will win the Calder Trophy Agree
2 Matt Carle will not sign an extension Agree
3 The Flyers will trade for a defenseman Agree
4 Jaromir Jagr will be quiet Do not Agree
5 Ilya Bryzgalov will find his groove Agree

Its obvious that 2 and 3 tie together. If the Flyers trade for a defenseman, then Carle wont resign, and if Carle wont resign then they will trade for a defenseman.

I think at the end of the season the people that vote for these awards will see that Couturier's numbers might not be as high as the other rookies, they will be close, but Couturier's role will be bigger then the other rookies.

Jagr will have streches of hot and cold, but I doubt he will be cold for the whole time after the ASG.

As for Bryz, I have said all along that he will find a grove, and transition into the goalie we need here. Patience is key.

1...Cooter is having a great rookie season but I don't see him winning the Calder.
2...Don't know how "bold" of a prediction that is. I could see him not being extended for a variety of reasons...he may want to test the market, but so too may the team.
3...also not very "bold" considering there has been discussion of such a scenario for weeks.
4...I hope not. See my earlier post on Jagr. Depends on his injuries.
5....I hope so. He has shown flashes that he could go either way.

1. Disagree. He's not close now to being one.
2. Disagree. If they want Suter or Weber they won't.
3. Agree. They have to. They should have a month ago.
4. Agree. I think he's continue to be average
5. Agree. I don't think he'll be a monster but I think he'll be good enough to get us into the playoffs.

i like the ASG draft format, but the production and actual show itself was mickey mouse and almost unwatchable. They tried so hard to manufacture things that it ended up being uncomfortable. Plus, as I'm sure has been beaten to death, I wanted to jump into the crowd myself they were so obnoxious so I can only imagine how the players felt. They're used to being able to atleast yap back, must have been difficult to bite the tongue.

They were talking on Hockey Central today that they wished Hartnell went last in the draft because he would have been an awesome interview and they knew it wouldn't have bothered him at all.

I love the Hartnell's of the NHL, you don't get the canned responses that most players give.

I also love a Knuble interview, he really thinks about the question and he's brutally honest.

little turkey, she did it all on her own.

I was proud of the devils horns because she was being a little bugger, I have no doubt I'll be getting a letter home from he school.

Which I will promptly throw in the recycle bin with out reading.

You sir, are a god among men, and an excellent parent.

One question, what's with the devil horns? Do you expect her to be vilified and just thought what the heck? HAHAH
