Your Abbreviated Week Thread

PrintIt's a short week and there's almost nothing of note to talk about today, at least as far as hockey is concerned. There's lots of other big news, what with hurricanes and surprise VP picks and college football and teenage pregnancies. But that stuff doesn't belong on the front page of a hockey blog, so instead I'll just toss up a thread.
Comment away about anything on your minds. Let's keep it friendly and relatively clean, though. Think of the children!
And the first Kentucky fan that boasts about creaming Louisville's pathetic excuse for a football team gets banned for life.

How do you feel
About non-Kentucky fans making fun of Lousiville’s pathetic excuse for a football team?
And what if making fun of Louisville came with a picture of Ashley Judd in a hockey sweater and not much else. It is a UK sweater though. There’s a lot of ambiguity here that I wouldn’t expect from a lawyer

What I meant was:

Don’t feel bad, Joe. You should have heard my roommate during the game. Such unbecoming language.
I'm sorry, Mr. Hossa, but I'm afraid we can't be friends anymore. Why? Because I hate you.
I can only imagine. I normally don’t watch football at all, so when I tuned in to the first half and saw the score at 10-0 with Cantwell throwing incomplete pass after incomplete pass, I decided to watch something less frightening: Hurricane Gustav coverage.
Go Avs! Let's get some goals!
And then sat riveted for the next 24 hours while you kept wondering who you had to blow to have some heavy object fly into one of the idiot reporters on the scene? Or was that just me?

Previewing Jeff Finger
Here’s our preview of your former defenceman.
Any advice, anecdotes, and jokes are much appreciated. Don’t be afraid of depressing us because we are, after all, Leaf fans so we are well acquainted with the feeling.

Most of us liked Jeff Finger, so you won’t get too many negative jokes from us. He’s a scrappy guy who plays hard.
I did always like the “Give ’em the Finger!” line.

Hopefully that rubs off on the kids.
And Finger jokes will definitely be used.

Finger’s a good 5/6 D. Slow, physical, surprising puck skills, out of position a lot. not much else to be said.
“Out of position a lot” must be qualified with the fact that he often compensated for this with really accurate hitting. He’s a trapping d-man, rather than a smoke and poke kind of guy.

Well, that’s better than the usual reason why a Leafs’ defenceman finds himself out of position:

I read this too late. Sorry for the dim reply then.
But you know I actually don’t think he’s a bad player. He’s just no 3.5M/y player…

I don’t think anyone would argue that he is. Jeff Finger, you better enjoy it while it lasts.

apparently
His agent argued, and damn convincingly too. He only got stopped short of the famous free toronto no trade clause
