Kaberle Makes a Run For it

TSN:

After 12 seasons in blue and white, the Maple Leafs have traded the veteran defenceman [Tomas Kaberle] to the Boston Bruins in exchange for prospect centre Joe Colborne , the Bruins' first-round pick in 2011 and a conditional second-round draft pick in 2012.

12 seasons??? Has it been that long? Damn I'm old! So finally, FINALLY, Tomas Kaberle got away from the Leafs, and was traded to a team who is currently 3rd in the Western Conference, meaning they have a VERY good shot at making it to the playoffs. You know what I'm not even mad, anyone who has endured this level of fail for 12 years, deserves a shot at the cup.

So uh Rick Nash, when are you buying your plane ticket to Toronto?

Mike Fisher Gets Traded

I know a lot of people are demanding blood because Carrie Underwood pulled a Janet Jones-Gretzky but let's look at this pragmatically, shall we? Fisher is a 3rd maybe even a 2nd line player he started his hockey career in Ottawa, its all he's ever known, and at 30 years old if his best days aren't behind him, they soon will be. Ottawa is not making the playoffs, in fact they are doing worse than the Leafs *snort*. Nashville however are 6th in the Western conference, and they have a chance at making it to the post season, anyone who knows anything about Mike Fisher knows that he deserves a shot at the cup. So why shouldn't he get that chance? And what's so wrong in him moving to a city that benefits not only himself but his wife as well?

Don't get me wrong I think Carrie Underwood's tacky bitch. Tacky as in, worse dresser EVER and bitch as in bitch but she is uber talented, and did give us the great revenge song "before he cheats", and they both seem to be in love (ahh newly weds), so I really don't see anything wrong with this entire situation because it seems to benefit both equally.



PS that weave is offensive, non?

No Fair!

Australia gets Danny Cipriani AND Kelly Brook, why is life so cruel?



In the least shocking news of the century Danny Cipriani is going down to Melbourne to join ARU's newest team the Rebels...yea I saw that coming like 5 weeks ago.

There has been criticisms that Cips' goals were not focused on making the English squad that may be true but its not like he had a chance anyway, and he knows it too!

A move to Australia could be a good thing for him, if you had the chance to move down under you're telling me you wouldn't take it? And even though this move pretty much guarantees he won't be competing in the 2011 World Cup, remember he is still really young he has years of rugby left in him and who knows, who's to say he would have made the squad had he stayed, right? As of now its Johny Wilkinson and Toby Flood as England's Fly Halfs (Halves? Whatever), I personally don't see that changing but then again anythings possible.

Also probably the most important aspect of this story is that Kelly Brook is going with him. Well its not like she can't pose in bikini's in Australia, ya know? If anything its more appropriate. So why not, right?

Dom Waldouck is probably a wreck right now. Hey Waldo if you ,uh ,need someone to comfort you I'm available. I mean I know I have essays, and exams, and presentations, and friends, and families, and boys, and a job but I could totally put that all on hold if you fly me out to London. I know how to cook, and how to hold my liquor, among other things...well the offer is there.

Coles Notes on the NHL

Its been AGES since a legitimate hockey post. There was once a time when I would post every single day, and almost always it was about hockey.

What happened?

Not too sure to be honest, I haven't watched a game in a really long time. I'm still a hockey fan its just I have school till late at nigh,t and when I'm not at school I'm at work till late at night, and when I'm not at work I want to hang out with my friends. Hockey just fell to the way side for some reason and rugby has taken over. However, to be fair it has never been to the level at which I used to post about Hockey.

This drought ends tonight because enough has happened in the NHL for me to reactivate the Hockey tag, that's right its a motherflippin hockey post!



Pappa Wilson and Uncle Brian went to the orphanage for the criminally deranged and brought me back some new little brothers

Toronto got rid of Jason Blake, Finnish Cuteness Vesa Toskala, Ian White, Matt Stajan, Niklas Hagman, Jamal Meyers. In return they got Jean-Sebastien Giguere, Dion Phaneuf,Keith Aulie, and Fredrik Sjostrom.

...still not making the playoffs, though.

PS NGL, its so weird seeing Dion Phaneuf in the blue and white

The Columbus Blue Jackets Fire Ken Hitchcock

This is the world of sports-business, you rework a team pull them out of perennially losses, help the team achieve its first playoff berth, and when things start getting dark you axe them. Ohioians didn't even know what hockey was until Hitch totally revamped that team...I guess we should have known this season wasn't going to be a good one when Danny Gare disappeared off of the face of the earth, he knew what was up!

Ilya Kovalchuk is leaving Atlanta

its pretty much a done deal. Took him long enough, huh? I mean he's been there for a million years, it seems and no offense to Atlanta but Kovalchuck is better than that!

So What's the Deal?

No doubt the homeboysezzz are having a hard time leaving Steele-town, the Pens were a very close team, probably the closest in the league; they were a brotherhood, and now two of their key players are being sent down to the dirty south AKA HOT-lanta AKA Atlanta. I'm sure the entire team is having a hard time with this trade, I mean Marian Hossa has ~*mad skill*~, would be an asset to any team, and they're lucky to have him but at the same time, is he a rental? is here to stay? if not, was it really a smart move to sign a guy for a few months just to have him leave at the end of the season at the expense of two players who were an integral part of this team? Who knows, only time will tell. If and only IF they sign Hossa to a long-ish term deal, then I would say yes it was worth it but until then I'm questioning Shero's logic here, but what else can we do, we must push on! Lead the way Malkin!!!

Peace out Armstrong and Christensen!!!!!

What's On My Ipod: Colby Cheese Armstrong

Nearly 24hrs has passed since the shocking news and I've put together a playlist that Colby Cheese needs to upload on his iPod right this instant because not only does it describe the emotions he's feeling right now BUT it will help him to just let it all out.

1)Meat Loaf - A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
The title doesn't say much but HAVE YOU HEARD THIS SONG??? So amazing, so dramatic, so fitting! The best good riddance song like EVER. Its kind of a two parter, starting off with regret and sadness, then ending with: "Tire tracks and broken hearts, it's all we're leaving behind! It doesn't matter what we're losing, it only matters what we're going to find!" Let it out Colby! Let.It.Out.


2)Oasis-Don't Look Back In Anger
Sure, this trade was a shocker, maybe a slight stab in the back, you thought you would be a penguin for a while but then fate had other plans for you. But there's no point being bitter about it, you'll be reunited with Mark Recchi, the weather's nicer down there, you'll no longer be known as "Sidney Crosby's bff/roomate/secret lover/confidant", AND Atlanta is a pretty OK team, just be thankful you're not going to Toronto...

"My soul slides away but don't look back in anger. Don't look back in anger, I heard you say, at least not today"


3)Whitney Houston-I Will Always Love You
No matter what Colby Cheese, the fans and the team will always love you and will always cherish your 'white guy who thinks he's funny' humor, I for one enjoyed it! You will be missed, you and your bird nose!

"Bittersweet memories that is all I'm taking with me. So goodbye, please don't cry. We both know I'm not what you, you need...I hope life treats you kind, and I hope you have all you've dreamed of. And I wish you joy and happiness but above all this, I wish you love!"

*tear*


4)Don Henley-Boys of Summer
This is going to be your and Sidney's theme song because summer's the only time you two will ever get to spoon and be alone (ooo so romantic) and when its over y'all will be heartbroken...don't worry boys, you'll always have ~*Pittsburgh*~

Colby to Sidney: I never will forget those nights. I wonder if it was a dream. Remember how you made me crazy? Remember how I made you ~*scream*~? Now I don't understand what happened to our love but babe I'm gonna get you back! I'm gonna show you what I'm made of!


5)Skunk Anansie-Secretly
You've noticed it right, Colby? Staal's been getting pretty dreamy as of late, he's growing out of his 'hot boy townie' look and turning into a hot viking WITH scruff, and he's getting more muscular, and his silky blonde hair has grown so much that he can flip it AHEM yea well Crosby's noticed it too, and you've noticed that Crosby's noticed that J. Staal is turning into quite the hot piece, so maybe you've requested this trade, maybe you wanted out of that locker room, where you didn't have to endure their stolen looks in the shower, and the pats on the butt in practice; you're heart just couldn't take it anymore, and I respect that Colby, I respect that.

"I've been a friend, with unbiased views, and then secretly lust after you"


6)Badly Drawn Boy-Promises
So you're at the airport, your boys are there, tears are welling up, your boys, your friends, your brothers, its time to say goodbye. First its the Ryan's, they sandwich you and give you noogies; Jordo flashes his million dollar smile telling you he won't take it easy on you on that you're on Atlanta; Max does his McLovin' impression for you one last time; Marc-Andre with that permanent smile, eyes all fogged up says 'Au revoir'; then Sidney Crosby, your bff, your soul mate , homeboy's never been good with words so he just hugs you and you whisper into his ear: "Sometimes you just have to walk away, remember I do love you! Have courage in what you say!" and then you pull away from him, never looking him in the eyes, pick up your bag, go through security and board your plane with tears in your eyes...

WOW I should write romance novels, I'm too good! LOL


7)Michael Jackson-Beat it
What's done is done, you can't change what's happened, now can you? So suck it up and take it Colby! Be a man, and show Penguins Inc. that they made a HUGE mistake...I'm sure Mark Recchi would be happy to give you some pointers!

"No one wants to be defeated, showin' how funky and strong is your fight! It doesn't matter who's wrong or right, just beat it, beat it!"


8)Maximo Park-By The Monument
Spending your first night away from Pittsburgh but more importantly your first night way from Sidney Crosby, can't be easy, so I give you permission to cry yourself to sleep to thing song.

"We'll sleep tonight in separate towns. At dusk, we see our disparate futures."


9)Kanye West-Stronger
Keep that head up Colby Cheese! You will get through this!

"I know I got to be right now 'cause I cant get much wronger!"


10)Mason Jennings-California
We're really going to miss you Colby Cheese, I hope you do very well in Atlanta! Say hi to lil' John for me!

"California Atlanta I hope that it wakes you from all the darkness that I couldn’t break through cause I’m going to miss you"

Peace out Colby Cheese, Stay gold!!!!!!!

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!

BREAKING NEWS:

Colby Cheese, Erik Chirstensen, as of this moment, are no longer part of the Penguins, are no longer my boys. THEY.ARE.GOING.TO.ATLANTA!!!!! (the Pens get Marian Hossa!)

Husband no.5 Sidney Crosby, is losing his shit right now! Guaranteed!!!!! Colby Cheese is his roomate, his wingman, his bff!!! Losing him ain't going to be easy, for Crosby and by extention the Penguins.

Is this a good trade? well, only time (and a few hockey games) will tell.

I am heartbroken :(

~*Trades*~

Today, 3pm is the NHL trade deadline, so obviously the hockey world is going semi-nutz. There have been some shockerz, some heartbreakz, and some 'who carez', and its only 2:17! Will there be more? Is the biggest shake up yet to come? Will keep you posted!

Shockerzzzz:
-Montreal trades Cristobal Huet to the Washington Capitals: WTF, who saw this one coming??? I really don't know what the Canadiens are aiming at because there's no way Carey Price, as talented as he is, is ready to be the #1 goalie in one of, if not THE, toughest hockey markets in the league. Seriously what were they thinking???

-Peter Forsberg signing with Colorado: LIAR, LIAR, PANTS ON FIRE!!!!! Didn't Pete say that he wasn't going to sign this year because he wasn't comfortable playing at the NHL level with his injuries???? and then a week later signs with the Avalanche, what kind of fucked up mind games is he playing?

Heartbreakzzzz:
-Buffalo trades Brian Campbell to San Jose: The press conference was a tear jerker, having spent his entire career, thus far, in Buffalo, Campbell was open and honest about leaving. He wanted to stay but in the end Buffalo could not afford him. No doubt the club and the fans will miss Brian Campbell *tear* ...but hey now Campbell can learn how to surf and get a tan, yes? Yes?

-Tampa Bay trades Brad Richards to the Dallas Stars: and somewhere in Florida, Vincent Lecavalier is crying himself to sleep. We all saw this trade coming like since November but still, its a tough pill to swallow when one of the best lines in the league is torn apart, plus I'll hardily ever get to see Richards' pretty face now that he's in the Western Conference, boo!

Who Carezzzz
-Toronto trades Wade Belak to the Florida Panthers: Wow Fletch, getting rid of the dead weight, wow! What.A.Move. Why don't you trade one of our ~*stars*~ like Tucker, or McCabe, or Steen, to really shake up the team but of course you won't because this is the Leafs we're talking about, my delinquent little brother; who makes all the wrong moves, in detention everyday and yet still gets all of our parents love and a higher allowance... I really don't understand this club, Not. At. All.

-New York Islanders sign Mike Comrie to a one year deal: Oooo the ex-boyfriend signs with the only team that wants him. Sure he's been good with the Islanders BUT can you really see Comrie doing well on any other team in the league...yea I didn't think so. Well at least him and Rick Dipetro can still share gel.


You want more? Well TSN gets paid for this shit and I don't so just Follow The Yellow Brick Road, for even more trade and acquisition, news.
