Sunday Links: Willing to relax once we've signed Halak Edition

by Poor College Student on Jun 20, 2010 6:00 AM CDT

Until the new netminder is inked for a long-term deal, I'll still be nervous. Of course, I think it gets done. Of course, I shouldn't be worried.

I'm still gonna be sweating it until he's signed however. Curse my nerves!

Blues News:

Three words you love hearing about a guy your team just traded for: Strong work ethic
Armstrong's starting on a good note as GM.

NHL News:

Other teams can trade, too, y'know. Nashville executes a pair of deals sending Jason Arnott back to the Devils and sending Dan Hamhuis to Philly.
On the Forecheck has all things covered regarding Nashville's reaction.
Have a look at what a team can expect when they draw the 5th pick.
From the Rink also looks at the financial side of the Arnott deal for Nashville while wondering if Marleau might consider going to Nashville (please, no).

Other Stuff:

Certified tall guy Manute Bol has passed away at 47.
Hey, can you photoshop a picture of me and not make fun of me? No? Aw, hell.
All manner of South Park references are fine by me.
Do you need the shiny new gadget du jour? This flowchart helps.
You think there's a spider where?

Video:

CCR covers the video for today. I figured it'd take til Monday before we had a song parody of any sort regarding the Halak deal. Never underestimate those Habs fans.

Two of your favorite people in all the (hockey) land are up next. Prospects has his weekly Prospect coverage and Weekday Dad starts back on the links for tomorrow.

There are...

all these rumours going around about Nashville signing a “superstar”.

One thing though is for sure – Central is going to be one hell of an awesome division next season.

Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky was in a production of The King and I? Well anyway, before the show, Brasky chloroforms the entire cast, and slowly eats them in front of the audience for two hours. The production got pretty good reviews.

So im looking at this spam bots ASCII Art

Usually they are just non sensicle blobs but over time they are starting to look more and more like a real picture. This one is two guys on a pushcart going down some train tracks.

Just because Jay McClement is the best defensive forward in the NHL doesn't mean he should win the Selke.

If I had to pick one Id say...

Spezza but yeah…..

He’ll cost too much in Money and talent to pick him up…..

But I do think his role could change…he could be made into a finisher….

I still maintain Vladimir Konstantinov got what he deserved...If you can't handle that then kiss my ass......

IIRC, there was a comment somewhere about Halak contract talks will start this week in LA.

I guess while everyone is out there for the draft. My guess is June 29 we will hear an announcement.

…just saying…
