Bullet points for what you missed while dreaming of getting into the Hall of Fame...
  • You know if RDS.ca can't even come up with a hockey story for its front page, there is fuck all that you missed.
Look for the new FHF swimming and diving blog "All Wet" coming soon.

In an interview with Stephane Richer, he refers to Scott Gomez as Gogo.

Is this a gay nickname?

Discuss.

Justin Crowder said...

Sounds like something a 2-year old might come up with...

Still, the George Michael Wham!-ability of the nickname makes it slightly unpalatable.

L Dude said...

I'd prefer Gomer. Golllly! Surprise, surprise surprise!!!

WV: nersess. I like scantily clad nersess. Please provide a picture of same.

In need of hockey news?

You could always go read Eklund's latest Hab rumour, or better yet, an entertaining look at the mess Glen Sather has wrought in Manhattan:

Eklund, that paragon of accountability and reliability, has the Habs down as interested in Erhoff and Marleau, with the Fish looking for Halak and Turtleneck. No word on how the numbers would balance out, but since there doesn't appear to be anything else going on today, we can discuss cap numbers and players to whom we don't mind waving goodbye.

Don't do it Bob.

Marleau has one year left on his contract.

Also you will need Halak with the compressed schedule this year.

Young HF29 said...

Do it Bob, do it! Marleau is a good big centre, and a French-Canadian to boot!!

What's that you say? he's from Saskatchewan?

Carry on then.

I'd rather not have to rely on Curtis Sanford should Price get injured or, Bob forbid, continue his spring suckitude. Besides, Halak hasn't been showcased enough to make him a valuable asset, and it's not like we gain a huge amount of cap room by trading him...

Pleks for Ehrhoff straight-up wouldn't be too bad.

Markov - Ehrhoff
Hamrlik - Spacek
Gorges/Gill - Mara

Fuck the Bruins and Leafs, that's the best defense in the league outside of Detroit (and even then...). And imagine the powerplay?

I have a gif on constant loop of me scoring on Eklund in a shootout if you need some hilarious hockey. Too bad there's no video that I can find...

moeman said...

That is a sweet gif N31, nice goal. I hope the shot to eklund's head (empty?) knocked some sense into him.
