This might seem light a dumb question, Alanschu, but when do tickets for the rest of the season go on sale? The Oilers site says October games go on sale on the 17th of this month . Ticketmaster has some of the dates up for the later games, but it changes every time I go there.

You're slipping Alanschu, slipping... http://www.nhl.com/lineups/player/8458954.html Its a shame about Jussi.

Is Sarah in labor right now, Ender?

I'd add the Jason Smith to the list of experienced "d". Hey did Toronto not give the Oil Smith for a couple of draft picks? Suckers. As for the BOA, I'm hoping Iginla will get squashed by Pronger a few times this year. I can respect Iginla for being pretty much the top power forward in the league right now ( unless Bertuzzi plays like he should) , but I hate the way he lights it up against Edmonton netminders. Ryan Smyth should take what the team gives him and deal with it. I've enjoyed watching him bleed blue and gold over the last few years, but he still has to put up a season where he's in the top 25 for scoring for him to earn the big bucks.

I just don't find Warrener impressive. I'll agree that he's a stay at home guy, so points don't really measure into the equation. He might lay out a big hit or two, but he'll probably end up missing a week on the IR afterwards. Do you realize in his career he's never played a full 82 games? And as for my team, I'll always be an Oiler fan. But I like a lot of other teams around the league as well. You must be from Calgary I guess...

I thought the references to Lewinsky/Clinton from "Beleaguered Bush" were hilarious. Nothing beats Chapelles 'Black Bush' for me, though.

If you really want to mess with the little ones head, try this: There is something to be learned from a rainstorm. When meeting with a sudden shower, you try not to get wet and run quickly along the road. But doing such things as passing under the eaves of houses, you still get wet. When you are resolved from the beginning, you will not be perplexed, though you still get the same soaking. This understanding extends to everything.

Sorry green dragon but I could not resist: http://sites.gizoogle.com/showpage.php?url...Deus_ex_machina

Its a talent. Good luck and dare I ask what names are you looking at? I could suggest Korqeldroma for a male but I don't think it would stick.

You could also add the classic 'don't eat yellow snow', or my mothers favorite saying from when I was about 14-20 'don't stick it where it don't belong' but I guess you have a few years to go , Ender. Also, how could I forget 'when in doubt pull it out'?

Del Amitri - Be My Downfall Well the bus is pulling out, and I guess I'd better go Before I make a grave mistake and let my feelings show And twenty miles away she waits alone for me But when I try to picture her you're the one I see And in another situation I could put up a fight But you will be my downfall tonight So the night is coming down, drowning us in blue And it all points towards the things we know we shouldn't do And as I look at you and I fall under your spell Well I know I should be thinking of her lying there herself And when faced with temptation you know a man should stand and fight But you will be my downfall tonight Be my downfall, be my great regret Be the one girl that I'll never forget Be my undoing, be my slow road to ruin... tonight So the bus is pulling out and I'm grounded here with you And I want to say the sweet things babe I've always wanted to So tell me now the tail-lights have gone out of sight Baby won't you be my downfall tonight.

Alright, another Albertan in the group. Calgary looks good with their top three defenseman ( Hamrlik, Regher,and I'll add Phaneuf to boot), but aside from that I think the blue liners are a little weak. Steve Montador? Andrew Ference? Rhett Warriner is kind of overrated, I think. The only thing I like about the Flames is that you can almost always count on the forwards helping out in their own zone. Thats what made Calgary so deadly in 03/04 and during that damned playoff run.

I say go with EA. Aside from last year I thought the series has been great. The lack of create a player killed it for me last time around. I didn't mind the gameplay but I couldn't quite get the hang of the open ice controls.

So we're a few days from the final four. My hope is that April gets the boot, then Howie or Janelle takes the next HOH. Then they can kick Ivettes whiny ass out, watching the shock and dissapointment on her face as she realizes she's been duped. I think HOwie should go to Maggie and let her know about his and Ivettes conversation. And I think Howie is really amusing running around the house with his lightsaber.

Thanks for all the comments. I really missed this thread over the last couple of days.

And Zetterburg took one for the team and signed for four years at 2.65 per season. I hope Datsyuk has a miserable season. Greedy bastard. Sorry Mkreku, looks like another one got away from your team...

And while my ISP was down I managed to finish one of my Visas pics. Its a little blurry, however...

I just read some pretty entertaining rumours. One Marius Czerkawski to the Leafs for a whole half a million. I'll agree with the above said statements about JFJ. And the idiot award goes to Mike Milbury of the Islanders. He wanted to offer goalie Rick DiPietro a fifteen year contract at four mil a year but the insurance issues stopped him. Didn't somebody learn their lesson with Alexei Yashin?

I'm looking forward to playing as Juggernaut in the new game. I still hold out for Banshee. But I'm not too optimistic.

Anybody else pick up the DVDs today?

And Vincent Damphousse decided to hang up his skates as well. He was a classy guy, that Vinny D ... http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/article.jsp...907_001329_4560

Watch Marty Brodeurs numbers come down to a more human level. As much as I dislike Scott Stevens, I don't think we'll see another defenseman like him for a while. I'm hoping for some preseason games on my Centre Ice package in the next few weeks. Even if its the Rangers.

Omigod I've missed so much on these forums in the last few days. Nice work everyone!

Welcome back, Sentry. Your pic looks great. And the Mira pics were excellent as well, Enha_Dyone.
