Checkpoint

You do of course realise that there's a cap on entry-level contracts? Any team could have the top ten prospects in the league and still afford a couple of superstars safely under the cap. Ooookay. Yes. Er... I want to work at Volvo. Now. If I don't get an elevated position withing the Volvo organization I'm going on a hunger strike. Thank Gawd.

Good to see Roli bounce back with a shut-out. I watched Pittsburgh rout the Flyers last night and I can't help but smirk a bit at Derian Hatcher. To me he's always been an untalented, cheating hockey player who finally gets exposed as such in the new NHL. It's obviously got to do with him exercising his clutch-and-grab hockey against the Oilers in all those playoff series that the Stars always won, and now to get to see a kid like Crosby undress him is more fun than a good Owen Wilson comedy. I like this new NHL for that reason alone.

No snow over here, just a big bad storm.

I really can't find it. For real. It's just gone. What is my life without my Revolver album?

This is NOT happening. I can't find my Revolver.

Moreau will be missed, but he should be back sometime before the playoffs and hopefully we have the depth to make it anyway. Regarding tonight's game, I hope Pronger falls over and breaks both his wrists after scoring three own goals and demanding a trade. Then Lupul gets the game-winner.

And I must say that Datsyuk's moves scoring that goal afterwards were pretty nasty. Good thing the Oilers came out on top in the end.

Personally, I'm tempted to shrug this off as just another theory, but it's interesting still... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This wouldn't make a big difference anyway, since physical attraction would still be relative. A good-looking guy now could be but a decent-looking guy then.

I've been fed with virtually every rock classic ever made today on the radio. Some are good, some are not so good.

There is something special about those late night/early morning sports events. You sit there wrapped up in a blanket with some coffee or even soda and snacks, and it's all quiet, dark and still outside. It's nice.

It's the Bot Code of Conduct.

That's... that's... here! ZOMG IT'S ME!!!!! I'M THE BACTERIA!!!!!!!

4 am is in that awkward do-I-stay-up-for-the-game-or-do-I-go-to-sleep-and-wake-up-insanely-early-instead zone. "Luckily" they don't show those games very often anyway, and this time it'll be on around noon tomorrow so I'll watch it after I get up. I don't have a problem with games starting at 1 am or 2 am, though (I watched a good deal of those in the playoffs).

Let's see some pest toasting instead.

Are you in Sweden Checkpoint? Isn't Detroit pretty much the Swedish Olympic squad? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually only Lidstr

...and "1001 ways to waste a yank using just atoms"

Yay, I'll be able to catch my first Oiler game of the season against the Wings! Interestingly, the next game they'll be showing over here is our other home game against Detroit in November.

He's obviously just going to send out mass emails containing nothing but pictures of him in suggestive poses. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Let him send me some of that anyday.

Click it. Do it. Do it.

Wow, that's actually quite cool, but also a bit unnerving. I've been pondering getting a MySpace for some time, but stuff like this makes you paranoid. ...and NO, I don't molest young boys.

I have that effect on people.

I'm the one on the left whom nobody likes.

What's the point of making a bot that doesn't do anything? It's like making a toilet you can't piss into.

I thought it was a bot because of that smiley. We're brainwashed over here, but welcome. :D

It looks like a scene from Fahrenheit 451, with all the doggies chasing the cameraman ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ...and may [the cameraman] rest in peace.
