Hockey is back and I for one have stood my ground and refuse to give in to the hype. I will not give the players the satisfaction of idolizing them or watching their games. I will not give in to the clever marketing campaigns by soft drink companies, Beer advetisements or Mars bar commercials. I mean what respect do these guys deserve after taking our beloved game from us for a year? It's obscene to think that anything will change if we simply forget about what they did to us last year.
They are placing their hopes on a few rule changes and a couble of young kids to re-energize the league, I mean give me a break, are we that feeble minded that we won't see through it?
It was purely by coincidence that Wednesday I went to a local pub drank Molson products gnawing on a Mars Bar while watching the leafs lose in an exciting, climactic shootout that broke the tie that was caused by last minute desperation penalties for obstruction. I barely noticed the crowd yelling and #88 Eric Lindros missing on a nifty snap shot over Hasek's glove hand. And if you asked me who lined up for the shootout, I'd barely be able to tell you it was:
1.Alfredson (Score)
2.Allison(Missed)
3.Havlat(Missed)
4.Lindros(Missed)
5.Heatley(Score)
Or that Sydney Crosby was seen as some sort of disapointment because he only got One assist on their only goal, while Ovechkin netted 2 for Washington.
So tonight I'll sit on my couch and fondle my Edmonton Oilers jersey and dream of a day when Hockey may again someday mean something to me.
Sorry, I need to cut this short, need to make some roster changes in my Hockey pool. Elias has Hepatitis and Micheal Ryder is still available, and he looked good last night against the Rangers... Not that I'd know.

You know there are things you can do about these pricks. Y'know filters or plug-ins. Check the blogger.com FAQs, they probably have some suggestions.
Getting back to the Roughriders, I can't believe they think they'll go anywhere in the playoffs with Marcus Crandell.
anonymous doesn't know his arse from a sand bag. Crandell makes very few mistakes, his percentage is low (65 ish) but turnovers are lower than your girlfriends', Calvillo, Allen, Dickenson, they all rip up the stats in that area compared to Markus. But maybe you're right, maybe we shud move aside for the Bombers since they did beat the mighty Lions last night... Pfff yeah right.
