Missy may be cooking up something else at the moment so, without her knowledge, (haha) I'll throw some links your way for today.
-James Mirtle felt Grapes' wrath yesterday on Hockey night in Canada for posting a piece about the rise of European goaltenders, and that 3 of the 4 starters in the semi's are European. Cherry went on a bit a tangent talking about "they are bragging about that.....and this is a Canadian paper...etc." you know how Don gets. He then quickly mentioned that 23 of the 24 players who have scored in the semi's are Canadian/North American, blah blah. Mirtle wrote a response today that is really worth a look. It's not something to get worked up over. Don Cherry has a Canadian flag stuck up his ass. We all know that. I think it's comical and fun. Mirtle gets more exposure. Everyone is happy.
-We've already addressed the issue now the Province is: What now for Mason Raymond?
-It is being reported that LA Kings' assistant coach Mark Hardy is being arrested for a sexual assault charge. (The Province)
-The Penguins, according to sources are not going to trade Evgeni Malkin.
-Jonathan Toews has scored at least a point in 11 straight games. That ties a Blackhawks record with Stan Mikita. "Don't overwhelm me" said Toews.
-For the Flyers: Ian Laperriere will likely play in Game 4 while Jeff Carter is probable for Game 5. (TSN Ice Chips)
-The Red Wings' players and coach believe that 40-year-old Niklas Lidstrom will return for another series. (The Fourth Period) That's old news.
-The IIHF issued an apology to Sidney Crosby over an article that appeared on their website that singled Crosby out (and generally others) about disgust that these players aren't coming to Europe to play in the IIHF Championships after the playoffs are over.

truth be told, Sean..
… I slept in again and had to scoot to my classes. i just got out of one super early though (we had a quick test), so now i’m sitting on the computer at school. i was about to do the squid, but i see you did it for me, so thanks :)
yes, i do have a little something extra waiting to post (i’m guessing you noticed the draft), but i’m not sure when i want to post it. i was thinking of doing it right away yesterday, but then you posted that thing about the flyers-habs series, so i decided to wait it out for the right time. if you think today is good though, let me know within the next 30 minutes (i have another class at 2:30)

If only the Canucks were still in the playoffs around my 20th birthday....
btw, if i ever don’t post the squid in the morning like i said i would, check my twitter to see if i tweeted that it might be late that day. i need to work on getting up at the right time and speeding up my morning routine.

I didn’t mind doing the squid. I needed to get my mind off work during my break :)

Throwing it out there
Not that the Flames would ever trade their best defenseman to the Canucks, but the possibility of Regehr moving is looming… Do you think they’ll trade him to get scoring help? Bouwmeester’s salary is 6.6 million, and unmoveable… but defense is the only position they have anything to bargain with. Regehr would be their best chance at getting scoring help for Iggy… Raymond could be a chip.
Maybe
Sometimes Regehr is slow, and I dont like that. But he’s a shut down D, so maybe.

I wouldnt totally hate getting regehr, but I’d sure hate seeing Raymond in a Flamers uniform…or any other of our guys actually. It’d be worth the cost if they threw in Iginla…

Regehr could just use his ears to stop pucks. have you seen those things? I bet he has a special helmet manufactured to bolt on over those satellite dishes!
I, for one, think Raymond still has vast untapped potential. When his hands catch up with his feet, watch out! It would be difficult to watch him in a Flames jersey
Keep Raymond, let Grabner go if the price is right. I agree with you splnwezel.

Im going camping for this entire long weekend
And I wont be bringing my laptop as there is no Wi-Fi in Golden Ears Prov. Park, hell not even any cell reception, so you guys better not have too much fun without me. I pass on my Oracle duties to you Sean.
Keep it real folks. I’ll be back on Monday.

Hey, Chuck, hit the Black Sheep on the way in or out. Best pub in Maple Ridge.
Please allow me to adjust my pants, so that I may dance the good time dance, and lead the onlookers and innocent bystanders into a trance.
Im back
early. And I passed the Black Sheep on the way there and back.

That is just about exactly right.

It makes me a little sad that
Don Cherry, and his incoherent babble, is still seen as relevant.

Section: well, as much as he is a pompous flag waver he still entertains the hell outta me

He has moments when he is entertaining
I guess. But as a broadcaster he is terrible. And I don’t find his particular brand of bigotry to be anything other than small minded.
