B4 the cap salary came into play, the NHL trade deadline was my fav day of the year. To me it was bigger than Christmas, Easter & Thanksgiving all put together. Than the salary cap went & ruined it. Now we have 8 hours of TSN on hockey dealine day with nothing but speculation chatter & little action.

Deadline was fun this year as a Habs fan. Very different than what we're used to.

They will try to kick you out but don't let them.

I like it here. I have a once a year tradition, when the Bruins get eliminated, I go into their site & say NEEEEEEENER NEEEEEENER NEEEEEENER. I hate the Bruins, Sens & the Nucks the most.

I read this in the voice I assigned to you. Thank you.

Did you read this with a lot pauses,"-ums" added in and being sure to pronounce every word?


The Maple Leafs were-um among the worst Corsi-um and Fenwick-um teams (the best known-um of the advanced statistics) in the-um NHL this season. When they collapsed, the stats mavens-um were almost gleeful. They knew it was-um coming. They called it. The Leafs were-um their convenient poster-boy for the changing way-um to interpret hockey. And an easy-um target.

You know what blew my top? Was when the Sabre fans came in here talking poop about Vanek. How great he was in the regular season, yet how he Vanek-shes in the playoffs. You gotta be so let down-um by his performance.

When is the draft?

Looking at the calendar, I see Friday June 20th as a logical answer, but is it confirmed?

Don said last night, he was criticizing Vanek on the 1st NY goal last night that he missed covering the guy b4 the goal. So he said Vanek's mind is not in the game, that Vanek is thinking about the off season when he plans to sign with the Wild.

Jesus is this so hard to understand or u just like getting me going? Wait don't answer that.

I remember last year's draft. I PVR'd it so I could hurry up through all the boring parts, since the Leafs were picking 22nd.

Biggest let down is when Bettman says:

"We have a trade to announce..."



"...the Florida Panthers exchange picks number 68, 98 and 116 for Colorado Avanlache's picks number 44 and 74"

He's frustrating to watch, not because he's not intense, but because he tries to pass it too much when he's open for a shot. And those blind-passes are infuriating.

She had the chance to really get me going long ago but she wants to play the part of a dude, so I'll let her play it out. I'm sure when the tiiming is right she'll reveal herself to me. I got nothing but time.

Ya all the bullcrap about the Leafs trading up at the draft with Shanny making a splash. They aint gonna do nothing at the draft.

Here's Bettman at the podium announcing the Leafs pick at #8
