I watched an half an hour on CNN's so-called Obama / Clinton
debate. What a friggin joke. Alternating soliloquies in response
to inane questions from the asshole Wolf.
I'm changing my 2 from Obama to an humungous FOFOFO.
Obama showed himself to be a fucking eunuch without the balls
or jam to attack directly Arkansas version of Leona Helmsley. What
a friggin wuss. His Canadian supporters no doubt will be jumping
ship over his candy-assness. If only they liked water and could swim.
He's toast. I'll bet the farm it's an Hillbilly / McCain election now.
Enough to make ya sick eh ?

....... the guy might make a few bucks in the game.
A 4 goal performance tonight with the winner in OT. The only guy
in the allstar game who wasn't afraid to step out, realized it's fun,
and not worrying about embarrassing himself.
The best forward in the game ? It's tough, but I don't think Crosby
at this stage in his life is up there with Ovechkin, Kovalchuk, Vinnie
Zetterberg or Malkin.
It's too bad Ovechkin and all except Zetterberg, are going to play in
NHL black holes for most or all of their careers.
If you see that yellow pill, swallow it and imagine what the teams and
game would look like with the great players around, today in a 14 team
league.

A little insight into the way the guys thinks.
Today explaining his plan to get Naslund going, by moving
him back with the twins:
Pyatt had 9 chances by crashing the net and couldn't finish,
Naslund had only 1 chance and did score. That's what Naslund
has to do, crash the net.
There you have it.
Friggin moron.

I bet a dollar (half my bankroll) that the salary:experience
correlation has crashed hard since the cap.
I've certainly noticed a lot more vets who are either getting
cashiered, retire fast, or just take monstrous pay cuts (Linden is the
poster child) for their twilight seasons.

Yah, and what did you do after you had your beer?
I agree with the cheap young idea. If a team trades it's high priced
talent at the right time, the drop off should not be so much.
Baseball teams have traded/lost stars but continue to do well with
unheralded replacements. Oakland for one, Florida has done it
once...twice?
IMO, if the Canucks had traded Jovo, Naslund and Bertuzzi a few years
ago for Luongo and a few skilled youngsters the Canucks would be no
worse off than now and maybe a whole lot better.
