Sundin Sweden Something Something Sorry I'm Distracted

This is Victoria Silvstedt, Swedish supermodel. She was a world-class skier and posed for Playboy. She's mildly attractive.

I bring her up because as we discovered yesterday, this Sundin business is a great (lame) excuse to post Swedish babes. And there is Sundin news! Well, if you can call Bob Mackenzie of TSN reporting news.

So Big Fat Bob reports that Sundin is most likely headed to free agency. Bob (Habs' Bob) wants to go to Sweden and woo Sundin with promises of cash and playing in a fishbowl worse than Toronto, but Mats is cock-blocking him and has shown no interest in the visit. Also interesting is that Sundin wanted to have the Rangers have the exclusive negotiating rights the Habs have now, but the Rangers already have too many over-priced Euros and weren't interested.

Rest assured we will continue to cover the Sundin story as long as our supply of hot Swedish babe photos holds out.

I, for öne, welcome öur new Swedish överlords

Got an email today from fifth Hab Fan Mike. He asked why "there was no Sundin talk on the blog." It was a point, well, taken. I responded: until he signs, or doesn't sign, or shows some fucking interest in actually playing here, what's the point?

I just realised the point - posting pictures of Swedish babes.

So is he coming? Do we want him? I'll let you guys decide. While I welcome our new Swedish overlords, I'm really indifferent to the whole Sundin thing.

P.S. Fuck you, LA Times. The wild times will continue here forever.

Hey, it's ASS (All Star Sunday)!

The FHF All-Star coverage has been either brilliantly rant-y (one last time, fuck you, you little fuckity-fuck) or, uh, well I guess that's been the extent of our All-Star coverage. I think it's because we just don't care. Or maybe it's because it's on a sucky network in the States we're still pissed the NHL re-upped with. (We kid, Versus, you're great! Can we have our magnetic playoff thingy now?)

Anyway, we're about to rectify our lack of ASS coverage, in handy HF29-patented bullet point form!

• Well that fancy-schmancy shootout contest was a total suck-fest. No one could score and beyond Ovechkin's juggle-baseball attempt (which he whiffed on), no one was impressing Dominique Wilkins on this night;
• There is some actual hockey news from yesterday as the NHLPA is pissed about the NHL announcing the Euro games even thought the players haven't agreed to it yet. Pick up the phone once in a while, NHL!
• For some real All-Star coverage, head over to Interchangable Parts. Pookie and Schnookie's desire for the Versus magnetic playoff thingy is insatiable;
• melt your face-off is your one-stop shop for ASS live blogs. hockey's ladies of greatness will have one too.

Well, that's really it. We just don't care. Sure, we'll be watching. But a 14-12 game is not hockey dammit.
