Taylor Hall Busts Some OPC Premier
This is kind of a strange one. It appears to be a hastily shot video of #1 overall draft pick Taylor Hall busting a pack of OPC Premier. Once he gets it open (neat trick to immediately go for the battery cover as a cutting device), its a pretty decent pack. I mean, he pulled [...]
Read moreRegina Pats New Captain: Garrett Mitchell
This news is a few weeks old, as the Regina Pats officially named Garrett Mitchell their captain for the 2010-11 season well before training camp. Around Regina, this was only a slightly worse kept secret than the fact that Darian Durant will likely start the Labour Day Classic. Mitchell has been a blood and guts [...]

Read moreThe Tomas Kaberle Saga Continues…
… but at least the end is near. Tomas Kaberle’s contract calls for a period where his no trade clause (NTC) is removed, and he can be moved freely. That period ends today. Brian Burke has said it is likely that Kaberle won’t be moving, as the offers just haven’t been good enough.
I would be [...]

Probert passed away only a month after his 45th birthday. Quite young [...]
2010 NHL Entry Draft First Round Predictions
I have already posted about the contest I am running on FCB here. I figured I should also bust out a list so I can compare my performance with the other contest entries.
1. Taylor Hall – the Oilers don’t actually need a winger here, but Hall is too accomplished to pass up.
2. Tyler Seguin – [...]
Predict the 2010 First Round Contest on FCB!
I am hosting this on FCB rather than here, because the comments section would get ridiculously long if more than one person enters their list of 30 players.
Check it out here. Prize to be determined. Contest closes when Gary Bettman walks up to the stage and gets booed for the first time, or if by [...]
Caption This Winner!
To recap, here are the entries:
LongFlyBall2Because: “Hey, Carcillo. I just got a text from Sean Avery. He says he ‘likes the new sheets in your parents bedroom’. Oh yeah, and he also says ‘Your Mom says to say “Hi”‘ “
Shane.K.: Who knew that rats coughed up hairballs?…
BA Benny: He hip checked you where!?!?!

Shenanigans on the Internet? Oh Noez!
I posted this as a comment over on 7th Inning Stretch, but I decided to throw it up here as well. The title is decidedly smart-assish. The content is rather serious. There are a lot of baseless accusations floating around, and more than a few sour grapes.
Honestly?
This contest has brought about the worst in the [...]
