Draft day! I like the "who knows what the hell is going to happen" feel of this day, and I will be disappointed if it goes down like the trade deadline did, with nothing particularly momentous happening. Also, if nothing particularly momentous happens next week.

Top three weird or funny search terms leading to hits here in the last month:
sidney crosby molestache (I first heard the term "molestache" at a Flyers/Islanders game at the end of the 2006-2007 season; an irate fan behind me was complimenting the ref on his.)
men bearhugging men (again!? Please stop.)
tyler kennedy if i get another playoff goal i will make love to my stick and i don't care who watches Thank the hockey gods he didn't score another goal. Who would want to see that freak show?
------------------
It really is a long time until the next season starts, isn't it?

Chops chopped?
At the beginning of April, I blogged about a couple AHL games I went to while I was visiting home, concluding "They may have a lame-o name in Iowa, but at least they’re still going to have a team to see after this season ends," lamenting the departure of the Phantoms from Philadelphia.
Well ... maybe they won't.
The latest in the saga that is the AHL franchise located (for now?) in Des Moines.
I'm thinking there won't be any AHL hockey this coming season in Iowa. With the Flames moving too, if I go home at Christmas I won't be going to any game in the QC either. Gee. I may not see any AHL hockey live this season.

And it's not just sour grapes; no, there is more to it than that.
No team deserved the Stanley Cup less than the "model franchise" that "won" it last night. That is all. The NHL is a joke. The WWE is more believable.
P.S.
Dear Ray Emery,
I have to say that I was dubious and skeptical when I heard that you were going to be signed by the Flyers, but I have started to come around, looking forward to the game next season when you Hextall those pieces of trash for coming too close in your crease. I would pay you $100 for the pleasure of seeing that. Thanks in advance.
Yours truly,
Crusher
