Finally A Right For Bettman

Gary Bettman finally got something right. He vouched for women's hockey to stay in the Olympics the other day, which was somewhat surprising considering it doesn't do him any personal favors. I think he probably has a bet on those canadian women to win it all next Olympics. Get it, he bets, Gary Bettman? Eh? I just came up with that now.

On another note, the Habs finally gave Brian Gionta the 'C', which was a fantastic descision on their part. I just hope he doesn't crumble under the expectations of being the first captain of the Canadiens since Saku Koivu's reign. That's a pretty powerful and courageous shadow to fall under. Hopefully Brian won't feel the need to battle through cancer in order to gain the fans' respect.



I'm sorry, that wasn't funny.


Overall, a day of mildly good descisons has just come to a close. The Senators have held on to Zack Smith, which is awesome because he looks freakin' amazing.

Ooh, boy.

Another Movie Star In The Making

If you haven't seen this vid yet I'd suggest it.
Yes, that is Mike Fisher. Well done.

Mama's Song -Carrie Underwood

Don't you love how the chorus is "He's good, so good"? Wonder what she's referring to, eh? Well done, Fish. Keep that girl satisfied.

Read this, it is fucking hilarious and so untrue and so unwritten by me.

Carrie Underwood Not Pregnant Yet

Sources close to Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher, wed last month in a lavish ceremony at a Georgia resort, report that the couple have not yet conceived a child, but left open the possibility that they may do so at some point in the future.

“The child, when and if it arrives, could be either male or female, and will likely have blond, brown, black, or red hair. If healthy, it should weigh between 6 and 10 pounds and measure about 20 inches long,” said one of our sources. “We don’t yet know if the boy or girl will have any singing aspirations, but expect Carrie and Mike to be totally supportive either way.”

No word on possible names so far, but we like Clark for a boy and Mary for a girl. We’d also settle for a unisex option like Tracy.

On internet message boards, Underwood’s lack of pregnancy – despite having been happily married for well over five weeks – has some fans debating her fertility relative to fellow pop-country singer Taylor Swift. “taylor writes her own songs and shes SO MUCH MORE FERTILE than Carrie,” offered one anonymous fan. “As soon as TAYLOR is married, shell be popping out kids like nobodys business!!! Carries insides are like a barren dessert!!!”

Exhibition

You know how sometimes you get like a rush of firsts in a really condensed period of time? Like your first drink, and then your first passing out, and then the next morning you get your first hangover and you learn about your first criminal offense the night before. I had that. Not the alcohol thing. It's more of a hockey-related thing, obvi.

Over the past 24 hours, I've experienced two firsts. Numero uno, Taylor Hall's first game in an NHL uniform as witnessed by me. Included in that was Taylor Hall's first goal in an NHL uniform as witnessed by me. Also included in that is my discovery of Magnus Paajarvi (Pajaarvi?). The final point of that extensive list of Taylor Hall related firsts is feeling the disappointment of not witnessing my first ever T-Hall/J-Ebz matchup in an NHL uniform. This happens to be the first time I have felt this particular tinge of disappointment.

The second first that I discovered earlier this evening is that seeing Sergei Gonchar in an Ottawa Senators jersey MAKES ME WANT TO VOMIT.

THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND and Other Such Characters

You wanna know something that sucks?
The appropriate response for such a question would be something along the lines of, "Boy, do I ever!" You can chose whether or not to use heavy sarcasm in that particular statement.

Jordan Staal had surgery on his right foot during the summertime, and the stupid surgeon man botched the procedure and gave him an infection. Which means he'll be out for the next five to six weeks, missing the whole training camp and the beginning of the season. I know, I told you it was sucky. What kind of a surgeon is this, giving him an infection in his foot? How gross is that? No, don't picture it. You'll be seeing your lunch on the floor next.

But serious, a 6-4, 220 pound millionaire should sure as hell be able to intimidate his way into getting a damn good surgeon, and not one thats gonna leave a towel in his abdomen or anything.

That legit happened, eh? It was in Grey's Anatomy. The new season, beteedubs, is premiering (premier-ing?) on Thursday. And. Speaking of premiers. Guess what's coming out to theatres everywhere in 59 days? No no, guess.

HARRY POTTER, MATE!! Whoooooooooooweee! Get excited people, this is a two piece motion picture event! For the love of God, someone needs to get writing on a bigger and better series than JK Rowling, she's richer than the QUEEN OF ENGLAND for crying out loud.

And yes, I did just put the QUEEN OF ENGLAND in caps lock. Important people deserve such treatment.

Thinking of You, Katy Perry

Whallahee Hoooooo!

Happy happy happy birthday Jordan, you are the greatest, we love you, you're 22, you're so old, you need to heal from the complications from your surgery so you can come out to the pre-season training camp and wow da whole world so you can step up to the plate for next season. Whoot, happy birthday, kick ass, make me smile, fall out of bed, sing like a bird, dizzy in my head, spin like a record, crazy on a Sunday night, lala la, whatever the fuck Mr. Uncle Kracker means by that song that always fucking gets stuck in your head all day long. Who the hell is Eric Hudgenson anyway. Did you know that Pat Monahan is the lead singer of Train? I didn't know that. His one attempt at a solo did pretty well for himself. Shine like gold, buzz like a bee...I miss the NHL. I go crazy during the summer. I hate the summer. The summer should exist during the winter so we can go crazy out on the ODR. You can't play outdoor hockey in the summertime, folks. Puck drops in so days, in the mean time we can oggle.

Hmm, eh? You can always admire a man with a fish. God.

Dance like a fool, forget down to breathe...

You make me smile.

The Greatest Countdown in the History of the Earth

Countdown to Jordan Staal's birthday: 5 days.

Say All I Need

I figured, after I thought about it for a while, that the reason I have writer's block is because, when you cut away all the other stuff, there isn't an inspiration. I mean, it's hard to write about love when you're driving your car on the other side of the road. Not British, I'm just saying. Mac, get your head out of your ass and speak up, because I'm too much of a coward to do anything about it.
