***, add Lang and Higgins to the inury list
Aux noms déjà connus des Alex Kovalev, Roman Hamrlik, Patrice Brisebois, et George Laraque tous blessés à l’aine, de Saku Koivu, blessé à un pied, de Guillaume Latendresse, blessé à la hanche et de Mathieu Carle qui souffre des contrecoups de la sévère commotion cérébrale subie, mercredi, à Detroit, se sont ajoutés les noms de Chris Higgins, Robert Lang et Alex Tanguay

I dont give a *** if we loose all our remaining pre-season games, I just want the team to be healthy at the season opening.
-
Is it me or the injury bug hitting us early this season? :S
-
Since its pre-season I dont care about the win or loose, but I do hope Harmlik will be ok for the start of the season!
-
I really think that Grabovski blew it when he went crying at his agent's house.
I agree 100% with that. Gainey is not the type of man to tolerate such immature antics.
The second rounder of the Leafs means a 31-33th choice overall, just watch what Timmins will pick us with thatDidnt we traded that pick for Lang?
-
I'll go with 111. Only Detroit will do better.
-
Considering they only poll 45 ppl per riding in a few select ones, i'm not certain how reliable that info is. Plus some of those ridings that were close last time wont be this one, like the ones in Québec City. The CPC is almost as strong they're than in Calagary now. Info on places like Trois Rivières , Drummondville and Saguenay would be more useful in determining what's going on.

After the North American Beer Festival, all the brewery presidents decided to go out for a beer. The guy from Corona sits down and says, "Hey Senor, would like the world's best beer, a Corona." The bartender dusts off a bottle from the shelf and gives it to him.
The guy from Budweiser says, "I'd like the best beer in the world, give me 'The King Of Beers', a Budweiser." The bartender gives him one.
The guy from Coors says, "I'd like the only beer made with Rocky Mountain spring water, give me a Coors." He gets it.
The guy from Molson sits down and says,
"Give me a Coke." The bartender is a little taken aback, but gives him what he ordered.
The other brewery presidents look over at him and ask, "Why aren't you drinking a Molson's?"
The Molson president replies, "Well, I figured if you guys aren't drinking beer, neither would I."

Islanders.
Toronto!
Nah.. seriously, the Kings strike me as the obvious candidate. Phoenix got a lot stronger so they have 4 strong teams in their division now, the season will be very long for them.

A Wii dissapointment would've been Soulcalibur Legends or Red Steel.
I didnt played these so I cant say
Other then Brawl, you can say that about any Wii game.Even Galaxy? To me that was by far the most impressive Wii game. I'm crossing my fingers for a Galaxy 2 before the end of Wii's lifetime.
And I'm not a big FE fan, the only contact I had with the serie were the GC and Wii game. I enjoyed the GC one, but the Wii one not so much,
-
I'd say Radiant Dawn is my favourite game on the Wii.
Funny, that one is my biggest dissapointement by far on the Wii. It felt too much like Path of Radiance 1.5 to be enjoyable to me. Nothing in that game couldnt had been done on the Cube...
-
Are they that afraid of the KHL?
Never minding travel, it would be a nightmare to make TV friendly schedule for both continents as well. I dont think games starting at 6PM Europpean time / noon EST / 9AM Pacific time during weekdays would get very good ratings :S
-
My personal favourites are by far Mario Galaxy and Super Paper Mario. Then again, I'm a big Mario fan so my opinion is biased in the plumber's favour. I also enjoyed both Trauma Centre games. No More Heroes is good too, even tough Santa Destroy is the most boring fictional city ever. The boss fight are what makes the game worth it.
-
We could bury him in the minors too. I'm not sure if management is willing to spend that type of money on an AHL player tough.
-
I would say great rather than not bad.
Ya, the more I think about it, the more I like it.
I cant wait for this season to start, I cant wait to see our Habs dish it out with the big boys. This is will an exciting race in beetween us, Pitts and Wash for the Eastern crown
-
If we compare to last year roster, we basically traded Ryder for Tanguay, Smolinski for Lang and added Laraque / lost Streit.
Not bad, not bad at all.
-
Of course Sundin would had been better, but you cant wait forever and the price was very cheap, so I like this move. I assume this is basically a 1yr rental tough since they're is no way we can afford to keep everyone.
-
I downloaded Mario RPG on my Wii. Now that's money well spent.

First day of campaign, first dumb quote
''Alberta oil is making Québec poorer'' - Gilles Duceppe (Le pétrole de l'Alberta appauvrit le Québec)
Does he really think people are imbecile enough to believe that? Alberta's oil is the only reason the budget is still balanced for Christ sake, and that's where equalisation money comes from. And who have the biggest equalisation cheque? That's right, Québec.
So STFU and GTFO Gilles, your ignorance of basic economics is embarassing.
-
The Liberals will eventually rebound, dont worry. If '82 didnt killed them permanently I dont think anything will. It will take them a decade to recover from adscam in Québec tough. The process would be a lot quicker had they elected Ignatieff leader tough.

Movies
in The Lounge
Just saw an old but very good film : Total Recall
***ed up story that grabs your interest and lot of very good action scenes. I was captivated from beggining to end. Now thats an action movie!
Funnyly too, I got this only because it was on a double feature disc with Terminator 2, and I liked this one better than T2 haha.
-
he's been traded to tampa for kuba, picard and a 1st rounder
great trade for ottawa!!
Yup, massive overpayment by the Bolts. Murray looks like a genius on this one.
-
Well if I'm the Senators and someone is really willing to pay $5M for Mez, I'd take the draft picks personally.
-
Look at that roster (copy-pasted from a leafs board).. so pitful than I cant hate the Leafs anymore, you cant dislike an opponent that cant fight..
Kulemin - Antropov - Steen
Blake - Grabovski - Tlusty
Hagman - Stajan - Moore
Mayers - Bell - Hollweg
Devereaux
Kaberle - Kubina
Colaiacavo - Finger
Stralman - Frogren
Kronwall
Toskala
Joseph
Apart from the first D pairing and the starting goaltender.. thats downright sad.
-
Apparently Andrej Meszaros has signed a $5M/yr offer sheet, altough the team hasnt been disclosed. It's not even certain if that offer sheet really exist or if it's just a silly rumor... I find it hard to believedsomeone would pay that much for him. He's good, yeah, but $5M good? I dont think so...
Upcoming Canadian Election

They're is something that really irks me in the Liberal budget plan
They predict a FOUR PERCENT GDP GROWTH per year for the next 4 years.
Considering all what's going on that's way past being optimist and falls downright into irresponsible or downright naive territory. Earth calls Dion : We're in a recession, or very close to it at the very best and things will get worse before they get better.
So what this means is than the Liberal budget plan contain at least one major lie
Either
- The carbon tax wont be revenue neutral
- They will have to cut even more spending that what they are telling us
- They plan on having a deficit
- They wont create all those programs they are promising
- They will have to raise other taxes to balance the budget
Pick your poison.
To me it doesnt really matter what the lie is. What I do know is than I cant trust Stéphane Dion with Canada's economy.
