Here’s to the greedy fuckers.
The oversized.
The highly paid.
The puck stoppers.
The groin injuries from a glove save.
The ones who want more money.
They’re very fond of advertisement.
And they have no respect for their teams uniform.
Could be the CH, the Maple Leaf, or the Spoked B,
They mean nothing to their hopes.
Because they’re so broke.
Making millions of dollars a year.
And well we know they’re a bunch of greedy fuckers
They do too.
Because the people who wont let players try
Really cool shots in the skills competition
Are the ones who want more.

“Now a group of influential NHL players that includes New Jersey’s Martin Brodeur, Dallas’s Marty Turco, Detroit’s Dominik Hasek and Edmonton’s Dwayne Roloson want the league’s – and inevitably the Leafs’ – uniforms altered again. In what would be a radical overhaul that might incite hockey traditionalists but surely gratify some of the league’s cash-strapped owners, several NHL goalies have asked the league and its players union to consider starting a so-called Goaltender’s Club. Revenue-generating initiatives for the club could include placing a corporate logo on the jerseys of the league’s 60-odd goalies.”

Yeah, well you know what guys? Fuck off. Brodeur? First you bitch that cool shootout goals cause severe injuries, now you want to make the NHL into billboards because the league listens to you and you think you can do anything? No. By the way, ZEDNIK had a severe injury. If you break your thumb trying to make a windmill save, thats your own fucking responsibility. Marty Turco? You mean the guy who’s disappeared from the map since he got his extention? Dallas fans must be cringing right now. Not only are you gonna make so much money you’re gonna start scoring on yourselves, those home jerseys are gonna somehow look WORSE. Holy fuck.

Maybe ads are a good idea, for Dominik Hasek’s groin. We see him injure it all the time, I’m sure GoldenPalace.com will pay nicely for some prime real estate. And Dwayne “I lost my starting spot to Mathieu Fucking Garon” Roloson? Shut up and retire already.

There is no need for advertising on the damn jerseys. Its already bad enough we have that RBK logo on the shirts. At least it looks cool on the boards, you look like a sellout with it on your jerseys, and prevents teams from giving their arena really terrible names.

Anyway, on to rumours.

Chicago did offer Forsberg a 3 year, 11.4M contract (hit of 3.8M/yr), but Foppa is interested in playing in the playoffs THIS year though. Rumour is Washington has a 1Y, 5M offer waiting for him. I think theres an outside chance here, as Peter loves being the underdog and him and Ovy would make the playoffs into a joke, probably pulling off a cup run.

Watch out for Ottawa, Buffalo, and Toronto to make a big move together in a monster 3 way trade…we could see Wade Redden, Brian Campbell, and one of the big 3 Leafs defenders go in a deal that would shock everyone. Some picks will obviously be mixed in to even the load a bit.

More in a bit. By the way, what Marty “I’m a cash whore” Brodeur would look like if his dumbassed idea comes to light. Die in a fire Marty.
