Lap dance to random anonymous in the last very sexywoody post who alerted us to the fact that the Twitters are abuzz that Josh Gorges
has signed a 1 year, $2.5 million deal. TSN
has confirmed its own reporter's tweet, so I'm sure it's true. That leaves zero players unsigned, and thus a full roster (give or take a few knees) set to go. PLAN THE FUCKING PARADE BITCHES.

FUCK YEAH
DOUBLE FUCK YEAH! JORGE!
I'm also doing the happy dance for Randy Squared. Cunneyworth is awesome, and if he could he would Reggie Dunlop this gig (can't barely get him off the ice after practice).
The Winnipeg Jets or the Winnipeg Avro Arrow? I like it. I think there's a Byfuglien shirt in my future!
Can we refer to the Randyz in the singular, as though they're one assistant coach? Like Reflector in the Transformers cartoon? Example: Watch how Chokula is just moping around behind the bench while Randyz is explaining the set play on the whiteboard.
Yay for Gorgy Porgy and the return of Rad Bromance, but people are freaking out that it's only a one-year term. Whatevs. Unspectacular defencemen are overhyped in the off-season. It's better cap management to spend cash on forwards and draft an unending supply of defensive prospects to play for cheap - otherwise you end up paying Hamrlik 22 million, or Jay McKee 16 million, or Eric Brewer 17 million, or Komisarek 22.5 million, or Jeff Finger 14 million...all to do a marginally better (or worse) job than the Cube does for paperclips and cracker-jack.
I was reading a discussion board over on ESPN about how Chris Osgood deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. I decided I was in Crazyland. People were super adamant about it.
I agree about Gorges. Defencemen like him are a dime a dozen. If someone else throws him megabucks, the Habs have others in the pipeline. Besides, once Spacecakes is done there's 3.8 mil available.
Shit I thought it was the Winnipeg JEST!
but seriously that new logo sucks Kevin, Takeafunckindayoff's bag. But seriously, it looks like fucking Top Gun layyymooo. Hello, my name is Dustin Bufflin and I'll be your pilot today....
And I don't like how True North surreptitiously snuck their own CI in there. Not that the old logo was any good,. "We thought we had the freedom to try something new," Chipman said." Well, a. no you don't have "freedom" and b. that logo is so turd old my great grandpa laid it. How about this one? and c. it is cheap AND sucky to sneak your lame half-assed gonna-be-around-for all-of-five-years corporate identity. Imagine if the Habs logo became... this?
but I agree. Go Gorgeous!!! PTFP!!!
Booking my ticket back to Montreal for the Parade.
@BaruCH
I am totally with you, I dont need Canadians dying supporting drug lords to get my patriotic high. I dont think a fighter jet belongs on a Hockey, well lets just call them jerseys from now on.
my most succinct observation about Montreal after 3 daysmoving around moving, it moves like Stephen Harper rolling a joint.
The new Jets logo would make more sense if the team were based out of Ottawa - the gold-medal-winning Canadian Olympic team from 1948 was an RCAF team (from Ottawa) with a very similar logo: RCAF team - then I think there'd be a nifty historical tie-in. As it is, there's not much that can be done - the franchise name, as beloved as it may be by Winnipeggers (and really everybody, I guess), has always been kinda lame. Really? The name originally came from the owner liking the New York Jets? Which were named for playing their early seasons near the airport in New York? That's how you name a team? I guess that would lead to the Ottawa Bedroom Suburbanites, or the Tampa Bay Fairgrounds, or the San Jose Livestock, or the Nashville Gaylords (look that one up).
