Around SBN: The Animated GIFs Of January

Off the Post September 14 - Evening Edition

Star-divide

  • Dan Boyle says more than he perhaps means to in his blog post (emphasis mine, thanks to Puck Daddy for the link) -  
  • "[Milan Michalek] was maybe the most skilled player we had here and I feel he will be a dominant player when he puts it all together.  He has shown us all what he can do when he is on."
  • [UPDATE, thanks to Ivano27] = Jeremy Roenick adds to the revelations about Milan in a similar fashion to Boyle's above quote.  Recommended reading, here.
  • Wondering what to do with your now-outdated Alexei Semenov shirt or jersey?  Fear the Fin's very own idunno723 provides an ingeniously creative solution.
  • Ever wanted to stuff a ballot box?  Now you can.
  • The FTF Invitational 2 fantasy hockey league, as of 6:30pm, has exactly ONE spot still available.  Yahoo, ID # 108742, password "drinko."  HURRY!   [UPDATE - congrats to Phantom for being quick on the draw]
  • Your NHL fun fact of the day - 13 coaches will begin their first full year behind the bench of their respective teams in 2009.  Their first full year, that is, unless they emulate Barry Melrose.
  • Michael Moore (yes, that Michael Moore) weighs in on the Phoenix-to-Hamilton debate, and in a way that only Michael Moore could do, pisses on two fanbases at once.
  • Your daily schadenfreude, via Defending Big D - Jere Lehtinen will miss 5 days of training camp with a groin or hip issue.  That sentence you just read is a novel in comparison to the Twitter post DBD references.
  • Speaking of the Dallas Stars, they're going to use the dynamic pricing system that has made buying SF Giants tickets so... interesting. 
  • Speaking of pricing systems (and speaking of "speaking of"... j/k), the Buffalo Sabres' variable pricing system will screw over the fanbases of exactly two teams - the Toronto Maple Leafs... and the Buffalo Sabres.
  • If only my parents realized how valuable my January birthdate could have been to my hockey career.
  • Joe Sakic's replacement as the Avs' captain?  Adam Foote.
  • This is probably old news for some of you, but the San Jose Sharks had the 7th best road attendance in the NHL last season.  Home attendance was at an average of 17,488 fans, good for 12th best percentage in the league.  Now if we can just find you 8 lazy bastards that are keeping us from perfection...
  • Theo Fleury tries to return to the Calgary Flames - here's a sobering reminder of how we should feel about his efforts.
  • McSorley - Fleury 96-97 (via vindiggs)

    And before anyone chides me

    Yes, I see the irony of dissing Fleury after previously welcoming someone as infamously pesky as Claude Lemieux on our team.

    (pouts) Someone needs to tell them that Cheech belongs to US! He’s on temporary loan. (yeah yeah, I’m still dealing with it here)

    It's like I told my friend

    who is also in denial of losing one of our hockey hotties…

    I barely just got over the Sharks dealing Jeff Friesen. It takes time. 10 years ought to do it.

    Well that, or the “Cheechoo” screenprinting wears off the back and they assign 14 to somebody else who wins a RR trophy… I don’t think any of those are going to happen soon, so my brother has a lot of suffering to endure I’m afraid.

    Hint

    Write something extremely topical. Like, if it comes out that only one of a duo of owners can actually own the team, quickly churn out an article about how this situation came to pass, and how messed up the franchise is as a whole.

    Also, ignore anything about the Sharks. They don’t exist.

    I believe the reason the Tank didn’t get 100% attendance this year was because of election night vs. the Minnesota Wild, when there were a hundred or so seats left. Every other game was a sell-out.

    Therefore, I blame politics.

    I’m somehow related to Hayes. He’s like my great-great-great uncle once removed or some crazy shit like that. That’s pretty much the only reason why I know he was a president.

    Are you related to my other 6 month old kitten, Grover Cleveland?

    Yeah, maybe your kitten was reincarnated or cloned or something.

    And I don’t think I’m related to Grover Cleveland, sorry. Although he was the only president to have two non-consecutive terms!

    Seriously. Getting 32% of the vote when there are 9 other choices? That’s amazing. Shows just how many people are wetting their pants at the thought of Thornton plus Heatley along with the rest of the Sharks roster.

    Speaking of Michalek..

    JR goes a step further, and openly criticizes Milan’s work ethic.

    Milan will thrive in Ottawa because of the mentality the Senators play with offensively. Milan’s everyday work ethic must be more consistent because there is no hiding from the Canadian media. He is one of the most talented players I have played with so he could thrive anywhere. I love this trade for the Sharks and Senators.

    Interesting outlook. This may explain why Milan deflates in the spring.

    I think San Jose is the team to beat in the West again. I feel that they are stronger team this year than last year, so I hope the boys are still pissed off and embarrassed at what happened last April, God knows I am!!

    Man I miss JR – but he’s still gunning for us!
