Nope. Mac T is that bad. Sorry about the long post.

Included was a worthwhile tidbit that highly-sought unrestricted free agent David Clarkson left a seven-year offer from the Oilers on the table to sign with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Clarkson would have made more money playing in Edmonton, but clearly has a connection with the Toronto area. The winger ended up signing a seven-year, $36.75 million contract with the Leafs.

“I’m trying to get the right piece or another piece that would start to excite me in terms of how our team is shaping up,” MacTavish said Tuesday. “The UFA pickups, I think, are going to really help us, but I would like to do one or two other things before we’re happy.

“I’m a little frustrated. I had certain objectives in mind, and I think I’m going to be able to accomplish some of those things, but it doesn’t look like I’m going to be able to accomplish all the things that I wanted to.”

Is that like electro shock therapy?

Last game was like torture. I changed the channel when Mike Johnson said the Canucks weren't going to come back, why sit through it then? Feck the process.

Lucky you

Distraction? Like when your friend says they have a tooth ache and it is driving them crazy, so you kick'em in the nuts?

Ya, I was going to remind people earlier that it was Bipolar Tuesdays, not Time Travel Tuesdays.

So apparently the Calgary Hitmen acquired the rights of Thatcher Demko for a 6th round draft pick today.

Strange move, but apparently this is pretty common for GM's to try this out. To see if they can convince a goalie that playing in Canada is better for their career.

Boston College has a great hockey program and it worked out great for our old buddy schnieder.

I never though he'd pan out. Wonder if the Isles are kicking themselves...

Yes, believe it or not sometimes its just due to something they ate or a blood sugar thing.

Or, brain issues

Both of us did. When you've got a 4th overall pick going for peanuts (yes, Clutterbuck is peanuts) that wanted out for not even being invited to training camp as opposed to stinking it up, it's worth taking a chance on.

For what it's worth, I was willing to trade serious assets for Seguin as well and mentioned that here on numerous posts. These kinds of talents don't get made available often.

Benning was part of that staff...
