Kick Back And Relax. I Will.

PrintI'm taking the week off, more or less. No more posts from me because I'd like to have a week or so not thinking about hockey all that much. The Cubbies are still doing well as the baseball season reaches its mid-point. I'm getting all my financial aid and scholarship stuff finalized as I prepare to enter law school in August. The weather is still pretty nice. Lots going on.
Hopefully Mike and Drafty will contribute their own perspectives on the Avs' free agent moves (or non-moves) at some point. Also, throughout the week I'll be posting off-season open threads to keep the conversations going. Also, thanks for keeping the FanPost section humming with some great posts and lots of comments. That warms my little heart.
If there are any major developments, like a deal for Joe Sakic, I'll chime in. Otherwise, I'll rest and regroup and get ready to finish out the month with the rest of the Top 19 list as we all mentally prepare for coming season.

On the Cubs.
That blown 4-2 lead in the bottom of the 9th was killer saturday night. I was watching it at Harry;s on the North Side, and I’ve never seen a bar become so deflated so quickly in my life.
What ever happened to Wood? He used to be my favorite pitcher, but he’s looking more and more dried up.
Mir ist egal.
Enjoy yourself Joe
Have a nice break! I might go check out the Avs Development Camp later this week just because I’m desperate to watch men play hockey and hear the sound of a puck on ice again. Don’t ask for a recap though, I don’t have a clue who anyone is aside from Jones n’ Hensick who are supposed to be there.
i'll be there too
it’s looking like my wife and parents (Avs games are a family event around my house :) ) are gonna be there the 11th or 12th. I can put up some impressions, maybe a full on something. lemme know.
Given FG’s recent activity, I hope there are more than a few diamonds in the rough at camp. Chances are the Avs are going to need them sooner rather than later if they ever hope to return to the glory days. And is there any substantiation to the rumblings that silent Stan is saving money on the Avs payroll to bankroll the Nug’s luxury tax?
Have a nice break Joe. Are you and Greg planning a little getaway?

Might Go
I’m thinking about going on Friday but it will depend on whether I get over this sinus infection. Congrats on law school, Joe. I’m starting CPA exam classes in August and am worried I will not be around much for the regular season between class and studying. Oh well. Hopefully this is the last school hurrah and I’ll be around more towards the playoffs.
Don't Go, Joe!
Thats one of the many good things about living in Australia, our hockey season goes from March to September so when the NHL finishes our leagues still playing, Plus i’ve recently started being a goalie so i get to hear the puck on the ice just before I get hit.
goalies in hockey are equal to drummers in music. they all seem to be cut from a different cloth from the rest

Bertuzzi Signs with the Flames
ESPN & others are reporting that the biggest jerk on the planet has signed with the Flames. I now hate the Flames with the fire of a thousand suns,etc. This gives our new, deeper fighting core a chance at the biggest douche on ice.

Phaneuf, Bertuzzi and Keenan on the same team is a sweet, sweet thing.

We’ll play them at least 6 times this season…how many games before one of our many agitators knocks the shit out of Buttuzzi?

Plus with Buttuzzi having the IQ of a door knob(although not as helpful) he can probably be goaded into a fight with the Sherriff, maybe him and Phadouche can be tricked into fighting each other since neither are all that intelligent.
Except Phadouche would swing at Buttuzzi from behind and the run and cower until he got a chance to sucker punch him again…he must be a Rouge because he’ll only do it from behind.

The best thing about this is that Tanguay is gone too. Now there’s absolutely no reason not to hate the Flames ALMOST as much as the Wings.

the Flames are definitely Public Enemy #1 in my book

seriously...
Even Iginla was supposedly campaigning for Calgary to sign him…. his douche-factor jumped a few notches in my book too. Bertuzzi has been a mere shell of his former doucheness of late, but it’s one more reason to hate the flames.
No more posts from me, except for many, because I’d like to have a week or so not thinking about hockey all that much, or at least slightly less than I normally do, oh, who the hell am I kidding, I can’t stay away. I give up.
Fixed that for you.
