Now that the Stanley Cup has been awarded I have some things to say (surprised?) I will be blogging all summer but intermittently because of commitments.
*The Bruins won Lord Stanley's shaving mug - pretty fitting. In my opinion, it was preordained by the WWE oops I mean NHL. And my congratulations to the winners.
*Twitter is once again saying Benoit Brunet is not going back to RDS. Is that not what we heard last year? So, until official - same as usual expect no changes.
*Markov to sign with the habs is another good one. It has been imminent for a while - wake me up when it is done please or when it is decided he should take a hike. FYI I think it does get done.
*Gorges and Pacioretty are RFA. (Duh-I know) They should be signed soon I hope.
*Does anyone know or care what happens on Hockey Night in Canada vis-a-vis Bob Cole and the Bruins broadcast team? That sounds like a bad band name. - And now ladies and gents give it up for Bob Cole and the Cherry Bruins Corporation.
*Wonder how the Bruins fans feel about screaming Diver and Faker to Kesler now - do they care?
*Kaberle- after all the but i don't wanna leave - he has his name on the Stanley shaving mug and has a chance at free agency. Maybe he will end up on a defensive pairing with Hal Gill...hmmmm on second thought no that would be too bizarre and besides we already have too many.
*Gomez will have a better 2011/12 season....I mean can he possibly do worse? we shall see won't we.
*When looking at the Habs past season please remember without Price - they would possibly be a lottery pick team.
*Ever wish you could combine players and amalgamate them - I am always looking for Pooche but not finding him on the roster. For my two non-habs fan readers it would be pouliots body and talent combined with Darche's work ethic and determination and sounds better than Darliot.
*speaking of Pouliot I am hoping he does not get re-signed - or I may have to rename my twitter account to DownGoesPou...something you really should not do to your own team (It was suggested I use DownGoesSubban but ummmm NO)
*Recchi's career is finally over and he will undoubtedly make it to the hall. Too bad he had to step out of his perceived persona to do it.
*There will be a master blog coming out next week on DownGoesAvery next week and I am the Habs contributor. There will be a companion piece on this site when it is available.
Please add to the list in the comments section I 'd love to hear from you.
