  1. Walken, I know I am. The NHL has done a good job of making the off season fairly interesting. I only have a faint interest in the CFL and it looks like the Lions are in for a tough season which kills any interest I have. So that leaves just hockey for me. Only a few more weeks till training camps start. Well... like eight weeks... The front-loaded, long term contracts are irresponsible. They're a quick fix and very dangerous. Look at what happened to NYI and Alexei Yashin... 10 year contract, which they had to buy off and will be paying off for a long time. Very few players are great for an
  2. Speaking of I'll Fight, the melody kind of reminds me of another Wilco song but I can't put my finger on it... any ideas??
  3. Just got my copy in the mail! On first impression I like it a lot, a lot, a lot!!!! I don't know if I'll ever feel the way about it as I do about the Being There - A Ghost Is Born era but it's a really solid album and doesn't have the boring middle of the album sequence that a certain other Wilco album had. And that duet with Feist is absolutely beautiful!
  4. The 12 year contracts are never meant to be played out in full, especially with those Euros signing. It's just an irresponsible way to get by the cap for a time. Gaborik to NYR for five years.
  5. Very interesting day. God, I love Canada Day. Montreal looks pretty good, as much as I don't like to admit it. Now, got the Sedins locked up, I would like 1 Slovak sniper, please!!!! I'm really happy for Ohlund, he obviously had no future in Vancouver (Edler = Ohlund but younger), good to see him get paid well. I am, a little, intrigued that he got signed to a 7 year deal 15 minutes after free agency opening.....
  6. Skater as in a player who's not a goalie, not his skating ability, though he is very fast apparently. He was predicted to go in the top-15. Lead the US in scoring in the WJC last winter. Was also one of the physically strongest players in the draft. He was a steal, don't see any reason why he won't be in the NHL in a year or two. Plus it's not like the Canucks have never had a player around that height be successful *coughcoughStanSmylat5foot9,firstCanucktoeverhavehisnumberretired,captainedtotheStanleyCupFinalscoughcough* Ehh, I'd be nervous if I was a Flyer fan. I wouldn't want to bet it all
  7. Probably because he looks like a giant prick in that movie......... maybe. But it's the most video evidence we have of the Beatles in the studio. If only they had a camera crew for Revolver.
  8. The way I always understood it was that MJ just got some of the $$$ from when Beatle Northern Songs songs were covered/played on radio/etc. He had no control over how the songs were used. However, I'm all for a re-release of the Let It Be movie. Do it up, Sir Paul!
  9. Good draft, I am ecstatic about the Canucks pick, Jordan Schroeder was ranked as one of the top-5 NA skaters Bad draft if you are a Flyers fan, holy crap...
  10. I got an e-mail from Kung Fu Nation saying that is has been shipped on June 22nd but maybe they shipped it out earlier to me cause I'm all the way up in Canada??

    Josephine

    You guys are getting me so excited for this record!!! Agreed about the music coming out this summer, I haven't had records come out by bands I really like in ages but now they're all coming out at once
  12. I like that song, Nels' slide guitar sounded a lot like George Harrison. Can't wait for the new album now
  13. Searched but saw no mention of this... figured some of you were into Molina's work. Josephine will by released by Secretly Canadian on July 21st, 2009. O! Grace Rock of Ages Josephine Shenandoah Whip-poor-will There Will Always be a West (Song for Willie) Hope Dies Last The Handing Down Map of the Falling Sky Little Sad Eyes Ten Paces Knoxville Girl Shiloh An Arrow In the Gale You can hear "Whip-poor-will" here. You can download the title track, "Josephine" here. There will also be a film released, a documentary "making of". I don't know if it's being packaged with the album or not. You

    U S A! U S A!!!!!!
  15. I agree with a lot of this. Uncle Tupelo = Buffalo Springfield AM = Neil Young Being There = Everybody Knows this is Nowhere Summerteeth = After the Gold Rush (Candyfloss = Cripple Creek Fairy? That last, incredibly enjoyable song??) YHF = Harvest Golden Smog = CSNY But that's where the parallel ends, I thinks!
  16. I've never seen that before, thanks for posting!
  17. Hey that's my birthday! What a pleasant surprise!!!! I bet Jeff and the boys knew! Thanks guys!!
  18. Don't the Bruins have some fairly big cap issues next season?? Trevor Linden never won a cup, Jerome Iginla will likely not, Shane Doan is approaching the end of his career... but Matt Cooke and Hal Gill are on the Stanley Cup.
  19. Who knows if Bettman will be here next year. If the Coyotes move, that'll be it for him. Anyways, I still can't believe it!!! Good for the Pens. Good for Sidney Crosby. He gets too much shit. I really like how he still sat on the bench with his teammates and even tried to take a few shifts. I wonder how much Hossa regrets his decision now??
  20. I didn't say the Zetterberg one was dead on!! I'd actually have Lidstrom as Vader, since he's the leader of the Wings. Anyways I'm starting to get too nerdy.... here's hoping tonight's game is competitive and not a blowout like that 5-0 game.
  21. Sorry for the double post, bros but this is too good to not get posted. http://bostonblueline.blogspot.com/2009/06/star-wars-guide-to-stanley-cup-finals.html The following... Empire = Wings Rebels = Pens Skywalker = Crosby Malkin = Solo Emporer = Babcock Kenobi = Mario ...Are so dead on it's scary haha
  22. 30 teams playing 82 games each, four rounds of playoffs... and it all comes down to one game.
  23. GAME SEVEN! GAME SEVEN! THIS IS THE MOST EXCITING THING TO EVER HAPPEN!!!!!! A seventh game? A possible omen that a seventh Canadian team in imminent?
