As you regulars already know I'm HORRIBLE about updating the site. Sorry. Just makes me laugh more when the Lindroids ride me about having nothing to do so I created this site. No real new news to report. I did read a strange article out of Minnesota about Target stores pulling a line of clothing that had the number 88 on it...but then I lost the link to the article so if anyone has seen it let me know, lol.
Hockey season is here already! Some good observations and some bad:
I've watched one game on TV and been to one other and the big no-no for the refs this year is interference so expect to see roughly a million interference calls a game for a few months until the refs get sick of calling it and the players interfere less. At the start of every season lately there's been a new no-no the zebras are cracking down on. There's gotta be a way to get these guys to use their heads. If anyone knows what it is let me know.
The All-Star Game is going back to the East VS West format and the league is ditching the stupid North America VS World format. About time.
No Olympics this year! Woo-Hoo! I enjoy the Olympics just as much as anyone but boy does it screw with a hockey season.
Nets. Big honkin nets. All around the end glass from face off circle to face off circle then way up high in the arena. Higher even than the cheap seats. Giant freakin nets. Last night a puck went between the net and the glass. No injuries were reported.
Ok, the old guest book and message board have been nuked. Be-Seen is no longer with us. I've been looking around and have found a new host so y'all can have the guest book and massage board back. Here are the links to the new one. Go ahead and fill 'er up, Mel.
Quotable Quotes
I waited for your hockey strike to be over but you can't do the
same for us. Shame on you Lindros. - Jack Smith, on the ELAFA Message Board
My mother works at Algonquin Park and is currently on strike
with the Ontario Public Services Employee Union. I was
probably your biggest fan but now that you have slapped my
mother and her 44,999 union brothers and sisters in the face by
crossing their picket line...I'm no longer a fan. - KB, on the ELAFA Message Board
Shame on him for not respecting our picket line. We are now entering our 7th week on strike with an employer that is hell bent on stealing $50 million from the surplus in our pension fund and also attempting to deciminate working conditions. We ask that, come next year, fans should boycott any games that Lindros plays in. - Carol Hughes, via email
"It's always a circus around Eric. Just play hockey. It's a pretty good life. Let your hockey playing speak for yourself." - Unknown member of the Flyers organization.
"We couldn't make a deal with Toronto, and the teams we could make a deal with, he wouldn't go to. Maybe both of us ran out of teams for him to go to." - Bobby Clarke
"He's 28. If he's going to continue to let his parents play a part in his life, that's up to him. It didn't work here. Maybe it'll work in New York." - Bobby Clarke
Bobby Clarke when asked if he had any wishes for Lindros: "No, I don't care. I really don't."
"He hurt this organization. I could care less about him." - Bobby Clarke
