LIVE BLOG... from the Draft floor
Jason Gregor
June 26 2009 10:51AM
11:00 am MST
It pays to get up early some days.
Because I got my accreditation late I wanted to make sure everything was still good, so I hoofed it to the Bell Centre. I wasn't on the list, which I expected, but once I showed my card I got my mug shot. I now work for the TEAM 1250, not 1260. It's a better keepsake that way.
There are seven rows with 14 seats in the media riser, and with so many media present, I fully expected to be in the overflow seating in section 12;, until I ran into Julie in the NHL PR. We chatted and I found myself in row seven on the media riser. I have a perfect view of the draft floor and it will be much easier to write on a table rather than using my knees as a make shift table. Julie is all class, and she gets another Nation shout out. I'd send the picture, but I'm an idiot and forget the cord to transfer pics from camera to computer. I'll have them when I get home.
It's the calm before the storm right now. It's noon and slowly the media is trickling in. I ran into some people as I was walking here and here's what I got.
- Heatley talk is at a stand still right now. The Sens want a lot, and most teams aren't willing to pony up. Heatley's agent, JP Barry and his CAA branch are taking a beating in the papers right now. Pundits are claiming it was irresponsible of them to leak the story, because it makes it harder to deal him. CAA is adamant they didn't leak the story, and feel it was probably Sens GM Bryan Murray, and then he could make Heatley look like the bad guy. This situation might get even uglier. I think the CAA camp has a legitimate beef. If the Sens don't make a deal before July 1st and pay Heatley the $4 million he is owed then many expect Murray to play hard ball and force Heatley to come to camp.
- Many wondered if Kevin Lowe could have gotten more for the Human Rake if he had played hardball. I'd like to see how it plays out for Murray if he chooses that route. If a deal is going to happen, it sounds like Heatley will have to be open to more teams. I still can't get exactly what Minny was offering, but it didn't include Burns or Koivu. It sounds like Murray's demands are too high right now.
- The Souray trade talk is heating up again. It sounds like the Oilers are willing to move him. Speculation is Souray and the Oilers 10th for LA's 5th pick, and something else. The Oilers really like Evander Kane. They have a history of making moves, so I won't rule it out. It makes sense on many fronts. Kings get veteran D-man and stay in top ten. Souray gets closer to family. Oilers get high prospect and free up some cap space. The key is what the "something else" is.
- The Leafs are trying to get another first round pick. They've been interviewing lots of mid to late first round picks this morning including, Camrose Kodiak, Dylan Olsen. I literally bumped into him walking here and asked him how his morning was. He'd just finished an interview with the Rangers, and earlier this morning had talks with the Islanders and Leafs, and was in a rush to get to an interview with the Blackhawks. It's a pretty stressful day for these young kids. You don't realize it until you see them. It will be a huge relief whenever his name is called.
- Currently the Sharks are the only team without a first rounder. The Islanders have the 26th pick, but look for Doug Wilson to get involved. Word is he wants to get in the first round, and Ryane Clowe is one of the pieces in place.
12:30 p.m. MST
Took a quick lunch break at the Cage Au Sports, the sports bar right in the Bell Centre, and what a meal. That's just another reason why sports fans in Edmonton deserve a new rink. I took a quick outside tour and they have four "action" statues of Maurice Richard, Jean Beliveau, Howie Morenz and Guy Lafleur. They are great, and then there is a line up of plaques down the side wall with other Montreal legends. (Pics will be up when I return...idiot that I am).
Some more rumblings...
The Kings supposedly offered Frolov and the 5th for Heatley. The Sens said no thanks.
And this seems to be the start of the Souray rumours. Let's play a little scenario.
Steve Tambellini finds out that the Kings are willing to move their 5th, so he makes a call. Keep in mind that even though the Human Rake to LA deal didn't happen, that doesn't mean the Kings weren't trying to acquire him and might still be interested in a top two D-man.
This is where the Oilers and Souray come in. Souray's value is at an all-time high right now. It might stay there for a few years, or it could be like the housing market in Edmonton; Piqued and is now on a downslide.
My gut still says it is a long shot, and I still don't buy that the Kings will move the #5 pick, because that goes against everything that Lombardi has done in building a pretty good stable of young talent., but remember the Kings surprised everyone in 2007 when they took Hickey at #4.
It seems pretty obvious that the Kings and Lightning are the teams in the top five that will listen to offers about their pick. The Bolts will considering moving the #2 if Hedman goes to the Islanders, if he doesn't then BOOK it that he will go to Tampa. Colorado and Atlanta have given the impression they are pretty secure at 3 and 4 respectively.
But the best story is that no one seems to know what the Islanders are going to do.
Many think they like Duchene, but won't take him at #1, but rather trade down a spot or two to get him and another pick. The uncertainty of the Islanders could set the ball in motion as far as teams trying to move up in the draft.
And the Vinny talk is still dominating the floor. What if Montreal can acquire him? This place would go nuts.
If Tampa doesn't get Hedman and take Tavares, would that make them more likely to move Vinny? It's almost mind blowing thinking of all the possibilities.
And can anyone tell me how I can disengage the update that goes to my cell phone telling me JOE SMITH is now following you on twitter. I love that people are following me there, but my phone has been ringing all day with these updates. I need to figure out how to stop it...ha
1:30 p.m MST
Right now...Front and centre in the middle of draft floor Brian Burke is on the horn.
He looks relaxed, his gum is getting one hell of a work out, tie undone, pacing back and forth in an area where no one can hear what he is saying. I wish I had one of those big cones that allows you to hear things from 50 feet away..
**Makes check list for next year...cord thingy for computer and camera...Cone thingy to hear things...Get a tech book to know what the hell Firefox and Chrome is...****
2:45 p.m MST
Regarding the Oilers/Thrasher rumour, (Oilers 4th, Cogliano and Gilbert for Lehtonen, Armstrong and #4) I just got a text that says that package is not correct, but they have had talks.
Discussions are happening, because the Oilers feel they need to get #4 to get Kane.
Kane is drawing comparisons to being 90% of what Jarome Iginla is as a player. If that is indeed the case then he'd be a great pick up.
I know this for sure...The Oilers are trying hard to move up. If they don't it won't be the end of the world for them, but they feel this is a great opportunity for them, and it would be the first time ever that the Oilers have moved up in the top ten in any draft.
Fans have already started to show up. The second deck is almost full. A "go Leafs go "chant was quickly booed and replaced by "Lets' go Habs." We are still more than two hours away from the official start but the fans here are just as anxious as NATION readers to get this going.
3:00 p.m MST
Teams are starting to file in. Scott Howson and the Blue Jackets are here...most of the Devils staff, sand big Lou...I just went down the stairs to say congrats to the hall of famer. Good guy. He's pretty humble about his Hall of Fame nomination.
*** Now they are pumpin out some Black Eyed Peas...Gotta get that...or Boom Boom Pow...not sure what title is, but some heifers are dancing in the second deck...I didn't need to see that.***
Still no sighting of anyone from the Oilers, or Thrashers or Kings or Islanders.
But the rumble on the floor is that the Islanders are leaning towards Duchene. That would be quite the start to the draft.
Now the Coyotes, Kings, Bruins, Ducks, and a few members of the Senators are on the floor.
Cam Neely and Brian Burke and a long and laugh-filled convo.
Howson and Ducks GM Bob Murray and Chiarelli from Boston are talking. The Bruins currently have #25, while the Ducks have 15 and Jackets 16. The Bruins have talked about wanting to move up, so maybe something will happen between them.
3:23 p.m. MST
The man of the hour has arrived. Garth Snow is in the HOUSEEEEE...okay so there was no theme music but right now he has everyone guessing what he will do. Most teams are here, except Chicago, Pittsburgh, NYR, Nashville,St. Louis, Calgary and Atlanta the the Oilers. It makes you wonder if the Thrashers and Oilers are still trying to hammer something out.
I just spoke with Rishaug and Dreger from TSN and they confirm that the Thrashers have indeed made it clear they are now open to offers. The Oilers are interested in that pick, but so are the Kings, Leafs and Dallas Stars. It might be a bidding war.
The Senators have lowered their trade demands for Heatley. They were supposed to be looking for a top-six forward, top-four D-man and a pick/prospect, but have relented a bit. Heatley's value seems to be diminishing as the day goes on.
The Canadiens management team has arrived to a huge roar from the crowd.
4:00 p.m. MST
The Oilers arrived about five minutes ago and right away Tambellini and Lowe were swarmed by TSN guys. Lots of laughing but didn't look like they got much out of them.
Had a great conversation with Daryl Evans, colourman on Kings broadcasts and former NHLer. He is certain the Kings will draft a forward, with all their depth on the backend. He fully expects the Kings to make a move via trade or free agency for sure.
Lots of friendly convo going on between media and various team management types, but it seems like the calm before the storm right now. Let's get it on.
4:36 p.m. MST
As of right now the Oilers have nothing definite, but it is still an hour away from the 4th and 5th picks, and even longer until their own pick.
Remember how late their deals came about at the deadline with O'Sullivan and Kotalik.
Craig Button said on my radio show earlier this week that many teams overvalue their pick on draft day, and that's why many deals fall through at the last moment, because the ransom is just too much.
It sounds like that might be the case with the Thrashers. Their demands for the Oilers might be too rich right now. Tambellini won't over pay, because the Oilers still feel they can get a quality player at #10. If they don't move up, I'd expect Glennie or MPS to be called by the Oilers.
Bruins just got introduced and got booed heavily. Gotta love rivalries.
5:06 p.m. MST
Former Habs owner George Gillette address the crowd. Lots of energy in the building. Each team had to announce who would call the name of their draft pick, and it will be Steve Tambellini for the Oilers.
Everyone is waiting patiently for this to start. There has been a bit of a delay, and now they are showing highlights of some of the top prospects. Tavares was shown first...is that foreshadowing, we shall see soon.
This big screen is crystal clear. It is awesome.
Now there are previewing Hedman. I hope they don't do the top ten or the draft won't start until 5:30
5:11 p.m MST
Dreger reports that Pronger has been dealt to Philly. It sounds like Lupul, but more details to come. The Flyers continue to surprise, and now maybe Lupul and Pronger have been involved in a deal for the second time.
5:17 p.m MST
Finally the first pick. Garth Snow makes everyone wait a bit more with some thanks to Montreal and their fans and then he goes with what I expected John Tavares. The fans at Nassau are busting it out with some confetti. A strong contingent of Islander fans here are cheering loudly.
Expect Hedman #2 and then Duchene #4...The intrigue will come if the Thrashers hold their pick or deal it.
5:53 p.m MST
WE had to wait 25 minutes to talk to Tavares. Well spoken young man, and he is very focused on bringing back success to Long Island. I knew the Islanders would take him, it was too big of a risk to pass up on a guy with his goal scoring ability. Hedman might be just as good, but the Islanders needed a scorer.
THey are playing highlights of players blocking shots on the big screen. Classic. And every time they show a picture of Vinny the place goes nuts. If the Habs somehow trade for him, I bet there will be a five minute ovation.
Larsson is soft, but it isn't surprising that the Coyotes took him. They have made some horrible first round picks and he might be another.
The "67" chant rains down from the rafters. That is awesome. That is a great chant. If the Oilers ever win the Cup again, you can bet that the next year Oiler fans will chant Eighty...NINE when the Flames come to town.
Burke can't even speak. This is one of the few times he has to pause before he speaks, so he'll probably say something good. Kadri is a solid pick. His tenacity is his best asset say the scouts.
6:31 p.m MST
I will be stunned if the Oilers don't choose LW Magnus Paajarvi Svensson. If they do I wonder if they will stitch both names on the back of the jersey. His numbers don't show it 7-10-17 in 50 games in the SEL, but they like his speed and offensive prowess.
I'll be curious if he stays in Sweden of they bring him over to play Major Junior.
He can skate, and some compare him to Markus Naslund. We'll go see what MacGregor and company have to say about him.
7:15 p.m. MST
MacGregor on Svensson.."He's a big power forward who takes it to the net and is a great skater. He's already played in two world junior tournament and will have another opportunity to play in Saskatoon this year. His game is an up tempo game and that's what we are hoping he can play in the NHL"
I also asked MacGregor about the plan looking ahead to round two and beyond.
"For our second pick we are going to go with a projection pick, a player that has a real big upside. Before I came to talk to you we were looking at what the scenarios would be and if we could make an attempt to try and get back in the first round"
7:30 p.m. MST
The Hab fans go nuts when the Canadiens are put on the clock. It was deafening in here. They start to sing their patented O le O le O le Ohhh lee song. They are hoping for a trade annoncement with Tampa Bay, but it won't happen. The Bolts aren't moving Vinny at this moment.
7:36 p.m MST
Hab fans give Louis Leblanc a standing ovation after his name is called at #18.
The Oilers are working the phones and might have another pick before the day is out.
They liked D-man John Moore and he is still available, also Carter Ashton is still out there...
7:51 p.m. MST
The Flames trade down three picks and add a 3rd rounder from New Jersey. Could the Devils "Parise" them like they did the Oilers back in 2003. The Devils moved five spots to take Parise, while the Oilers got the 22nd and 68th picks which turned out to be Pouliot and Jacques.
The Devils just took Jacob Josefson, the 4th Swede taken in the first round already.
8:26 p.m. MST
The energy in the building is similar to the feeling on the Nation...subdued. It was a good ride, but now they want it to end. You have to be respectful of the young kids waiting for their name to be called.
Awkward moment of the day comes for the Johansson family. Marcus Johansson went 24th to the Capitals and his family was very excited, his mom gave him the longest kiss or any mom on the day. It was good comedic relief for the crowd and got a mixed reaction.
Just going to interview Tambellini will be back with his thoughts in a bit.
8:52 p.m MST
I asked Tambellini how close he was to moving up into the top five.
"We knew that at pick ten it would take something incredible for us to move. If I had a pick in the top four, I don't think I would have moved to far down, maybe five or six, but to move to ten it would have taken a lot for that team to accept our deal."
Does the Pronger trade reveal how much it will cost to get a superstar? Is the asking price that high?
"Depends on who the player is I guess. Pronger is a dominant player and he will change what Philly looks like. That is a franchise type move, not just a player move. "
Do you think something will still be available on the table tomorrow?
I don't know. There is so much discussion, it's almost like the trade deadline where you feel like you've talked to everyone a dozen times around the horn. There was so much talk coming into today I thought maybe there would be a little bit more than what happened, but it could be tomorrow. There's lots that can happen tomorrow or before July 1st."
That wraps up day one from the 2009 NHL entry draft. Only one big move, and a move by the Flyers that has many wondering if they overpaid for the Human Rake, giving up Joffrey Lupul, Luca Sbisa and two first rounders. The Oilers did get a LW but it wasn't Heatley who many fans were hoping for.
And I wonder if the Flames in fact gave the Devils some compensation for signing Brent Sutter. The Flames had the 20th pick and traded down to Devils pick at 23. The Flames did get a 3rd rounder, but you wonder if that was a back door hand shake.
Talk to you tomorrow.

Nothing. Since the cap will go down the year after, and no one knows how much. Spending the limit this year is just asking for trouble the next year.

If recent memory plays a part....Gotta be boosting ole Horck a little, or maybe Staois.
From Twitter: @dantencer: Asking price for Atlanta's #4 sounds like Top 6 forward, Top 4 Defenseman and a 1st rounder...
If this is true, that sounds very steep.
@ Archaeologuy:
Maybe there has been a trade demand, but Souray's camp handled it with class (unlike Heater and Pronger).

I agree and you can look at it further since Lecavalier is 29 and Hemsky is 25 (4yr difference). While Brown is 24 and Souray is 32 (8yr difference)

Exactly. I am not saying Souray for Brown straight up. Moving up to take a player like Kane or Schenn is going to cost the Oil their 10th and a player like Souray.

@ swany: Totally agree about that wacky Atl proposal. If the Oilers are giving up THAT much they better be getting a proven guy like Heatley.
Now Tencer is reporting that the Oil are close to getting the 4th pick but doesn't say what else is involved.
Are there any rumors of Colorado moving their pick? or are they just content with taking whichever of the top 3 drop to them?

Agreed. Enough so that the Kings would be silly to do it.
@ Madman37: There is something to be said for managing your expiry dates... I agree.
If lehtonen 4th and armstrong is what we get for 10th, cogs and gilbet I am notsure. Substitute O'sullivan for cogs and it is a deal.

I was thinking the same thing. He HIGHLY underates Brown (and apparently highly overates Souray)
June 26 2009, 01:07PM
If the Cap is going up by 100,000 to 56.8 AFTER the players used a 5% inflator (giving back part of their salary?) then didnt the Cap ACTUALLY fall to roughly 53 million under normal circumstances? Bad sign for things to come.
I didn't like Souray when he wasn't playing with 71 and I wouldn't bet that he could play as many games in '10 as he did in '09.
That would be a sweet move by the Oil if they can pull this off. Looks like the Kings are drunken sailors and someone's gonna get their money so why not us.
If Souray gets traded away the Oilers back end is softer than Dustin Penner's after a summer of pig roasts and J-Bo coming in does not help. Don't give me that "Detroit has 6 puck moving def..." because that's crap. Kronwall hits everything that moves, Lilja is a giant of a man, Stuart is solid and Lidstrom is tough as nails.
@ Archaeologuy: It would otherwise be about 54. So yes indeed, a very bad sign. Keep Vinny's contract far far away. Next off season will be very interesting.
June 26 2009, 01:12PM
@ Ogden Brother: I think you guys would be crazy to deal away a top 2 defenseman for a 2nd line forward.
The 5th to 10th aspect of the trade i ignored. For months we've been hearing about how there are two clusters of players who are very close: 1-3 and 4-9. So how would getting the #5 pick would be all that much more valuable than getting the #9 pick which has been reported will get a team a comparably good future NHLer?

Because Souray will likely be a "top 2 dman" for 1-2 more years while Brown will be a "2nd liner" for 10 more years.
June 26 2009, 01:17PM
In fact he says its a done deal and will be annouced before the 4th pick.
I dunno. I'm going crazy here!!
Kane would be awesome - would probably make the team in September. He is like Jerome Iginla scoring & fighting.
I guess he is carved like a christmas turkey too. Lean mean fighting machine.
@ Archaeologuy:
Brown isn't a normal "2nd line forward". He would bring something to this team that it sorely needs.
Heart and grit.
And I like 4 a lot better than 9.
@ Archaeologuy: I'm with you on this one. In a straight up trade, Souray > Brown. Throw in the draft picks and I think you've balanced it pretty well.
But hey, the Oilers have a strong history of undervaluing physical, punishing offensive-defensemen in their trades. ~What's wrong with repeating a little history?~

I will do some asking, but I haven't heard anything of that sort. As of ten minutes ago, the Oilers said they aren't close on anything. Not close is so open ended. It doesn't mean they aren't trying, just that they aren't close.
I'm not a big fan of Lehtonen, but I like Armstrong. But Waddell told me on air in February he had no interest in moving Armstrong. They love his tenacity and grit.

The thing I hate most about the Oilers
Jonathan Willis
November 12 2008 08:42AM
I'm not a guy who "hates" hockey players, as a rule. I'm not a big fan of Todd Bertuzzi, as an example, or Mike Comrie, or the Apostate, but I don't hate them, for a ton of reasons. Matt Cooke bothers me, as does Sean Avery, but hate is too strong of a word.
One of my really strong hockey-watching memories as a teenager involved the one player who I did hate, at least at the time. What made it worse was that he spent three and a half seasons in an Oilers uniform. I don't have much memory of this player as an Oiler, but he was on the team, managing 44 points in 200-and-some games.
The memory I have is of a 6'2", 213-pound defenceman going for the knee-on-knee hit on Oilers captain Doug Weight, who was my favourite player at the time. Weight (5'11", 196 lbs), Oilers fans will remember, had a nasty edge in his own right, and he went after this defenceman. The defenceman dropped to the ice and covered his head as Weight's gloves flew off and the Oilers captain grabbed him. Weight paused for a second, as if in confusion, and then started whaling on the prone figure, until the referees pulled him off and escorted him to the penalty box. Then, and only then, did Bryan Marchment lift himself off the ice.
It made me sick that Marchment, a vicious goon with the worst of intentions, was employed so long by the Oilers. Of course, I've aged since then, and it's hard to feel as strongly with the incident years in the rearview mirror. It's also calming to consider that Marchment's career, already in its twilight, ended in the same play that he had been the aggressor in far too often—a knee-on-knee collision, courtesy of Toronto Maple Leafs forward Jason Allison.
The claiming of Jesse Boulerice off of waivers says a lot of things about the men making decisions in the Oilers front office, and I'm not sure that it says good things. Boulerice is a liability on the ice, a player who hasn't managed an NHL point in the 43 games he's played since the lockout. Along with the pointless streak, he's gone -9 and contributed 93 PIM. It's well and good for Boulerice to talk about getting another chance here in Edmonton, but it's hardly his second, or even his third. The amount of time NHL general managers have for this guy is mind-boggling.
Boulerice's junior career ended nearly a decade ago, in a fashion that should have had him blacklisted by the powers in hockey. Boulerice took a two-handed swing with his stick at the face of junior opponent Andrew Long. Long suffered "a broken nose, multiple facial fractures, a Grade III concussion accompanied by seizure, a contusion of the brain, two black eyes and a gash in his upper lip the size of a handlebar mustache. Had the stick landed a hand's width higher or lower, Long might have been killed. "
It isn't the only incident of this nature in Boulerice's past. Or for that matter, even in his recent past. Boulerice got hit with a 25-game suspension for his nasty cross-check to the face of Canucks forward Ryan Kesler, a tough suspension, but given his history, not nearly tough enough. How many times does Boulerice need to hit an opposing player in the face with his stick before he realizes it isn't okay? Is twice enough? Will it happen again?
Boulerice is a thug, from the same general family as Steve MacIntyre, except that unlike MacIntyre, he has twice attempted to end an opposing player's career with his stick. He's a disgrace to the game, and it's unfortunate that the Oilers have decided they want him in their uniform.
November 12 2008, 11:59AM
Hey all, our spambot zapped a bunch of legit comments. Sorry if yours was one of them. If you have anything cached please repost while I try to remedy the problem at the backend!
I really don't like this much. Check out the youtube on the Andrew Long and Kestler jobs. He is listed at 6'2" and 215 lbs. Not a heavyweight. SMac is a very big deterrent for the gooning of Hemsky and Gagner that can (well, could) punish the offender directly. This looks more like Tambellini wants to send this message, "You better not go after our skill guys or we'll unleash our crazy pitbull on your skill guys." It's like a rock throwing contest in baseball and it's bulls**t. Unless there is a value in his play I don't see, Boulerice just might end someone's career and embarrass the team I love.
November 12 2008, 12:39PM
SO I say again??? Why are we keeping Stortini around? Why waste a spot on him? Would it not be better to have a young kid up with the big club?
November 12 2008, 01:12PM
Stortini is young.
Initially when I heard about the pick-up, I didn't like the idea of having someone who could only play 3-ish minutes without making an effect. SMac at least backed up his job cleanly, at least, as far as I've heard. I haven't heard of any suspensions against him, which is good.
Boulerice? Frick, I watched the cross-check to Kesler, and that was sick. Is he a deterrent? Yeah, as much a deterrent as a nuke is: it'll kill you both to use him. I'm not impressed by the Oilers for picking him up. We don't need dirty crap like that in the league, and claiming him off waivers only sends the opposite message, that him and his 'skills' are needed.
November 12 2008, 02:47PM
Hey Spyn Cycle, can you fire us off an email, thank you please? We have some business to discuss.
Boulerice is an embarrasement to the league and unfortunately it's a matter of time before he disgraces our team while dressed in copper and blue.
Big Mac does the job he's work his ass off to get, does in properly. He shouldn't even be compared to this dude. Do you see Big Mac on the ice just running guys alla Boogard? NO, he plays his position, takes the hits that are there and is a willing combatant to drop the gloves. HE SHOULD NOT BE COMPARED TO A DIRTY CHEAP SHOT ARTIST. The guys has worked for what he got and he did it the right way.
November 12 2008, 07:04PM
MacIntyre's form the same general family; his role is enforcement. He hasn't, to the best of my knowledge, displayed the sort of qualities that make Boulerice what he is, and that's nothing but good.
WOW!!! Jonathan, it seems that you have it all figured out!! All last season the Oilers fans have been pleading with the management to go out and get somebody who can scare the shit out of the gutless cowards that take advantage of our skill players. Who do we get S-MAC. He has done everything in his limited ice time that has been asked and he does it CLEANLY. If you want some shitty no hit no fight hockey, might I suggest a pee-wee game...oh oh that has hitting!! Give Boulerice a chance to carry on where Macintyre left off.
Jonathan, I know what your saying, but I think it is offensive to compare a scrapper with a bottm feeding GOON. Big Mac worked his ass of for years and had earned this job. He isn't like Boogard who dosn't play the position, simply runs at other teams players trying to injure, he isn't swinging sticks or hitting from behind. You might not like the role he plays, but, he plays within the rules and dosn't need to be in the same sentence as Boulorice. There is no place in the game for these dudes who are trying to injure.....maybe the coach and mgmt should be punished as much as the player when these stupid acts occur....that might serve as a deterent. But, looking around the division, and after watching that thug Boogard take librities with our skill guys I want to have a guy on the bench who can answer the bell. I want to have a guy who can tangle with anyone and isn't scared to send a message "don't mess with our guys". And, I'm happy that he's so far done it the right way, fight, hit, and no BULLSHIT.
November 14 2008, 08:38AM
Yeah, MacIntyre has done exactly what was expected of him, and done it well. He's not in the same class as Boulerice; my only point was that neither is an NHL player except as muscle. They aren't similar in how they perform their job.
Are you really that stupid? I have no objection to MacIntyre as a player (I wish his skill level was higher, but he isn't trying to murder guys). Boulerice has twice attempted to end careers with sticks to opposing players faces. If you can't figure out the difference between the two, I don't think I can explain it to you. Watch what Boulerice did to Andrew Long - if you think that's hockey, you're an idiot.
November 14 2008, 08:41AM
We all saw what MacIntyre did to those 4th-line boys in Calgary. He did it in the course of the game, though: the hit was a hockey play, and the fight came naturally from it.
Hitting a guy in the face with a stick isn't a hockey play.

How the homeless can help the Flames
Ryan Lambert
July 30 2009 02:06PM
As you may or may not have heard, it came to light this week that the Penguins benefited a great deal over the course of the season from some sage advice from a homeless man.
To quote directly from the story:
Ms. Ollis and Mr. Hoop's attorney, Sumner L. Parker, said the notes started appearing Feb. 19, and are nonsensical at times, telling the players to avoid eating sweets, offering other dietary tips and suggesting vitamins they should take."
Sounds perfectly reasonable to me, especially when you consider that, after Feb. 19, the Penguins earned at least a point from 15 of their next 16 games and outright won nine of the next 10. Not that the Penguins didn't have a great team (or at least a number of excellent players, including the two best in the world), but would they have had the nutritional knowhow to get over the hump? It's unlikely. So clearly, the homeless are finely attuned to what it takes to be a winner in the National Hockey League.
And so, with this in mind, I began my quest to help the Calgary Flames the best way I knew how: by ringing up the pay phones in Olympic Plaza and straightaway asking, "Are you homeless?" The first several responses were in the negative (and really, they seemed pretty upset about the insinuation for people answering a pay phone in the middle of the day), but the fifth person, a vagrant named Wally, replied that he was, and I launched into my questioning.
While he wasn't very good with specifics — his answer to how Sutter should approach re-signing Boyd was to stand outside the Saddledome with a sign that says, "Why lie, I need to re-sign a promising restricted free agent." — he did provide a plethora of helpful hints to get the team really buzzing this season.
- When you need to sleep on the team plane, a couple sheets of newspaper make a great blanket.
- Need to get extra cap space? Collecting cans is a great way to get it done.
- Keep your per diem money. Lots of restaurants just throw food out after lunch hours end.
- You can never wear enough layers under your jersey.
- There's no reason you can't sport a playoff beard all year round.
- You can use your jersey and stick to make a bindle, which doubles as a useful carrying case for loose pucks.
- Riding boxcars is a cheap, environmentally friendly alternative to flying.
- Composite sticks don't make good kindling for barrel fires.
- If you take all the food from the pregame meal, brother, you got a stew goin'.
- Cutting off your glove's fingers is both fashionable and functional.
Wally, apparently, traveled to Calgary after he lost his job in 1935.

The Kindle might be getting a brand new eReader rival.
It seems that Google has bought out a company called eBook Technologies Incorporated. The acquisition is notable for a few reasons –
- ETI has two LCD based eReaders and 1 eInk based eReader – the latter looked surprisingly like the BeBook. This might mean that Google is looking at building an eReader. It makes sense to build on one of ETI's eReaders, instead of starting from scratch.
- ETI has 8 very important eReader patents including ones covering advertising in books and secure ebook delivery. These were mostly granted on December 16th, 2010. This might mean that Google already has an eReader ready, and just wants to protect itself from patent lawsuits. Given that Amazon and B&N already have several patents, and that companies like Discovery Communications also have eReader related patents, it makes sense to buy a portfolio of patents that would keep a Google eReader safe from patent lawsuits.
- ETI has technology for an eBook platform which includes an ebook publishing and distribution system. This is something Google would definitely need if it were to get into eReaders. In fact, it would need this even if it sticks with just ebooks.
Here are some links of interest –
- Cache site for the ETI-Proto – ETI's 6″ eInk eReader.
- Cache site for ETI Product Overview – ETI's eReaders, Online Bookshelf, eBookstore, and Tools.
- TechCrunch's Coverage – Some intelligent comments on a rather amateurish post.
However, the real question is – Why did Google buy eBook Technologies Incorporated?
Is Google Building an eReader? Will it build on top of ETI-Proto?
The first possibility is that Google decided that instead of spending $1 billion on B&N's Nook division, or Sony's Sony Reader division, it makes more sense to spend $50 million on a smaller company like ETI or Cool-er.
Then it could take the devices ETI has, pick one or more, and build a Google eReader using the technology. As a nice bonus, it gets a bunch of eReader patents that ensure it can release the new Google Reader without any problems.
Will Google go with an eInk eReader or a LCD eReader?
Here are the three ETI eReaders Google could build on (please note that most of this information is from 2007, and is thus pretty outdated) –
- ETI-Proto. It has a 6″ eInk screen, a single button, and seems to be a BeBook clone.
- ETI-1. It has a back-lit, 8.2 inch, 16 bit color LCD touchscreen with VGA resolution. It has brightness and contrast controls. It also has an internal 56K modem, an ethernet port, a memory card slot, a Motorola processor, and a stylus.
- ETI-2. It has a back-lit, 5.5 inch, 4-bit grayscale LCD touch screen with half-VGA resolution. It has page turn buttons on the front left side. It has an internal 33.6K modem, a USB slot, a stylus, and a Cirrus Logic processor.
It seems ETI had an entire range of eReaders – eInk, grayscale LCD, color LCD. The eReaders also seem pretty decent given these specifications are from 2007.
Given that it's Google, it's likely that it will use this technology to build a reading tablet, and not an eReader.
How likely is it that Google is building an eReader or a Reading Tablet?
Very likely.
Google built a phone secretly. Then it built a netbook/laptop secretly. There's little doubt it'll build an eReader sooner or later. It has search traffic, it has books, it has public domain books, it has an ebook store, it has cloud infrastructure – the only thing missing is an eReader.
In fact, it's quite possible that Google has an eReader almost ready – that it's buying ETI simply for eReader patents.
Is Google buying patents to protect an almost-ready Google eReader? To sell advertising supported books ?
Let's take a look at the impressive eReader patents ETI has. Thanks to Dave at TechCrunch for the clues.
Patent for advertising in Books
[Advertising in Books] System and Method for providing Sub-Publication Content in an Electronic Device – A patent about showing 'master content' and then showing sub-content that might be a book review, news, sports news, classifieds, book-related, and so forth. It includes advertisements as sub-content. This might be the BIG patent. Amazon has a patent for in-book advertising. Now Google just got a patent for in-book advertising.
You can also read the entire eReader patent.
Patent for Secure eBook delivery and offline eBook shopping
From the Management page at ETI's website we get this –
John is co-inventor and patent holder of a system to provide secure electronic book delivery. He is also a co-inventor of a patent-pending system to provide offline catalog shopping on an electronic book.
Those are two very important patents. Can't find the patent numbers. Please do leave a comment if you can find them.
Flexible Electronic Device
Update: This is actually Skiff.
Patent Application Number – 20100315399. This is a patent that covers a flexible electronic device and a method of manufacture. This patent specifically quotes the Kindle and Plastic Logic's Que –
In many cases, electronic devices have replaced traditional, non-electronic devices.
For example, for many, electronic reading devices have replaced traditional paper books. An example of such a device is Amazon's Kindle wireless reading device, which allows a user to download an electronic book, and then read that book using the device. Another example of a similar product is the Plastic Logic Reader. These devices, while providing functionality for the user, still resemble small, inflexible computers.
It's interesting that Skiff has patents for a flexible eReader. Thought that News Corp had closed it down. This might be a pretty valuable patent. Skiff has at least two more eReader related patents –
- [This is Skiff] Electronic Display Controller – System for controlling an electronic display, such as an electrophoretic display.
- [This is Skiff] System and Method for Providing Spatial and Temporal Content in an Electronic Device. Includes Advertising which makes it a hugely important patent.
It'd be worth investigating what other patents Skiff has. Perhaps in a later post.
Additional Patents
ETI also holds a few additional patents –
- Electronic Paper Display Whitespace Utilization – A patent about how ePaper content formatting is presented. It literally talks about figuring out how best to display content on an eReader, and which content to display, given a certain amount of available space left. It's a bit ridiculous there's a patent for how words are shown on a page.
- System and Method for delivering Publication Content to Reader Devices using Mixed Mode Transmission – A patent that talks about multi-casting content to multiple eReaders. It also talks about using mixed mode transmission.
It's interesting that nearly all of ETI's patents mention devices using electronic paper displays. Why would it focus so much on eInk when it had just 1 eInk based eReader?
Is Google buying ETI's Platform and Distribution Technology?
After looking at the patents ETI has, this possibility seems really unlikely. However, let's see if there's something worth acquiring.
ETI has a platform consisting of four parts –
- eReaders. Which we've looked at above.
- Online Bookshelf. This is ETI's equivalent of WhisperNet/the Cloud. They talk about 'the ability to purchase and access ebooks anywhere, and at any time' – which sounds identical to the Kindle's 'Buy a Book Once. Read it Everywhere' sales pitch.
- eBookstore. The equivalent of Kindle Store. ETI mentions relationships with over 24 major publishers. It also talks about accessing the store through an eReader, a browser, an offline catalog, or through an alternate web retailer.
- Content Conversion and Publication Tools. Apparently, ETI's founders were founding members of the International Digital Publishing Forum, which created ePub. ETI has a tool, eBook Publisher, which converts books into ePub format. It can process text, ePub, OEBPS, Html, Word, and Powerpoint files. ETI also has a tool, Auto Publisher, which performs pagination, compression, and encryption of ebooks.
It's clear that ETI's platform, and its distribution technology and tools, might be pretty valuable too. ETI's President is on the IPDF board and helps set direction for ePub – which definitely helps since 'openness' and ePub are going to be used as weapons in the eReader Wars.
Is Google buying itself an eReader Development Team?
ETI's management team –
- John Rivlin, CEO, was the VP of Software Systems at Softbook Press. SoftBook Press released one of the first eReaders in 1998 – the SoftBook. This company was acquired by GemStar, and he was then responsible for design, development, and operations of the Gemstar eBook server platform.
- Garth Conboy, President, was the VP of Software Engineering at Softbook Press. At Gemstar he was the GM for the Gemstar eBook Group which was a combination of SoftBook Press and the company behind the RocketBook.
More details at the cached page for ETI's Management Team.
By acquiring ETI Inc. Google instantly gets some of the people with the most experience in eReaders and eBooks.
Closing Thoughts
Google acquired – eReader technology, some extremely valuable patents, a distribution system and platform, two people who know an awful lot about eReaders. It's a pretty good acquisition.
There are two very likely consequences – a Google eReader will arrive in 2011, Google will try advertising-supported books in 2011 or early 2012.

14 Karat, CD (£7.43)
The house that founder Bill Curtis built, the Fatback Band (or just plain Fatback as they became in 1982), has sometimes been a 6-piece and sometimes anything up to a 9-piece band. Their records for Spring and Event are classics of the 70s and '80s dance scene, packed with "party" atmosphere, undoubtedly aided by the "live" feel that the band induced by always having an audience at their recording sessions. 14 Karat came out in 1980, a year after the band cut what is regarded as the first rap record King Tim III (Personality Jock), and it contains two Top 100 hits Let's Do It Again and Angel.

Yeah this is a short idea. i was watching the Boondocks, and I wondered what would Naruto be like if Aaron McGruder rewrote some scenes.
No I am not a great writer at all. But this is what I thought the Meeting between Naruto/Sasuke should have been in 485-486
Sasuke looks at Naruto," I am pissed, my world was lost to me. I had a family a bright future. You always had nothing so you don't know what them bonds feel like.....:
Naruto sighs cutting Sasuke off," Look Sasuke Fuck You! Fuck The Sharingan! Fuck Your Faggot Ass Gay Ass Fairy Clan! Fuck Your Brother! Fuck Madara! Fuck Genjutsu! Fuck Snake! Fuck Hawk! Fuck Orochimaru! Fuck Revenge! Fuck Emos! I Rep Konoha 'ninja' My Hokage's got big tits and my jumpsuit's orange "ninja". Now get the fuck outta here, and leave Konoha alone.. Cause if I see you again I'ma Rasengan the shit outta you....."
Sasuke is stunned" e...eh...what?"
"Didn't stutter 'ninja' get to stepping bitch!" Turns around looks a Sakura," And you! Grow the fuck up! and act like you got some god damn sense! Stop getting in the way and being unless! Damn! Ninjas never learn, sick of this shit," Walks away.

That's Enough, Barbara
February 15 2013 01:09PM
There's a lot of ground to cover today, what with tonight's matchup between the Flames and Blues, Roman Horak being recalled, the idiotic drivel belched out by Rhett Warrener about Jarome Iginla, and the corresponding croneyism by the media proleteriat in this city upholding it.
Certainly, there is a veritable buffet of Calgary Flame related tedium to load up our plates with, but save some room for dessert, friends, because today we're going to delve deeper into a topic we can all relate to, one that seems to resonate with everyone, based on the response it gets whenever we bring it up.
That, of course, is this whole business of your Calgary Flames and their goal song.
A Word on Taste
If you're a long time reader of the blog (we thak you for that!), you'll know that this is not new territory for us. Indeed, this is common ground for anyone who has been wearing a Flaming C on their hearts for at least the last couple of seasons.
You'll recall that the article was essentially a joint panel consisting of Arik, Vintage Flame, and myself, and we all boldly asserted our takes on what we think the lucky tune should that reverberates across an elated Saddledome whenever the local heroes find twine. Then, at the end, in the sea of comments where only the bravest of the brave ever dare, we opened it up to you, the fine Citizens of Flames Nation, to weigh in as well.
The results gleaned from this experiment was a vast and disparate range of musical tastes, styles, and choice, and different philosophies on what the goal song should MEAN made for a really ecclectic mix.
This is the problem.
While in any society it is often preferable to have differing opinions and alternate viewpoints, as these are the very things that weave the fabric of a functioning democracy, the things that assert a culture. But in practice, at least on matters that are significantly less important, the voice of the people does not represent the greater good. This is most definitely true in this case.
With a wide array of musical styles and a glut of options for songs, to choose but ONE composition to represent the Calgary Flames fanbase is an excercise in futility. You just can't do it. This is why this time, this article is not an interactive, let's choose a song format. We tried that. It doesn't work. Obviously, you're free to chime in your own preferences in the comments section, but let's look at some examples of types of Flames fans and their own musical appetence.
Many of you, in conversations I've had on the subject over the past year, tend to want something Rammstein-ey, something loud, something terrifying, something you can do shots of absynthe to and terrorize your elderly neighbours with.
Some of you would like to see the team prop up the city's longstanding love for Country music, and all the twang and cowboy boots that go along with it.
Some people want something poppy, akin to Barbara Streisand just not, Barbara Streisand. ANYTHING but Barbara Streisand.
Some of you want Nickelback.
Some of you, clearly, have terrible taste in music.
I maintain that a great song would be Hellfire by the Cunninlynguists, but I accept the fact that Calgary is not a hip hop town, and that now many of you are too questioning my own taste in music, which I assure you is both varied and exquisite, but I realize that a hip hop anthem is not destined for the Calgary Flames.
You see the problem. THIS is the reason WHY we have Duck Sauce, an anathema to our joy, haunting our nightmares when we sleep. We can't ever choose anything that will make all of us happy. But we CAN choose something that the majority hates.
This is why we can't have nice things.
#*ck Sauce
It's why we are where we're at. I think most of us can agree the goal song has to go. There's a small majority of people who inexplicably like it (right, Torie Peterson?), but for the most part, those of us sitting inside the Dome recoil in embarrassment when the Flames score (WHEN THE FLAMES SCORE!!!), and the fact that the only lyrics to the song are literally "BARBARA STREISAND" makes the team a bit of a laughing stock.
The problem is, the Flames are scoring this year, especially at home. In 7 contests this season where the Flames have played host, they have scored 22 goals, or, if you prefer, 3.14 goals per game. If you extrapolate those numbers over the course of the shortened season (save for regression and whatnot), you're looking at roughly 75 home goals in 24 games. If you're able to listen to Duck Sauce approximately 53 more times, be my guest, but the rest of us are all going to start bringing our iPods to games. Maybe that at least woud illicit a more boisterous response from a usually passive Calgary crowd. Worth a shot, anyway.
No one knows why this is our plight, why the team is doing this to us, save for maybe Geordie McLeod or Ken King, or maybe Murray Edwards just really loves the song, I don't know. There's never been any real explanation for it, because, well, when has anyone ever demanded to know why an arena PA guy plays the songs that he plays?
There's been theories. The prevailing one I've heard is that it's designed to shame the road team. "Hey, Dallas, we just scored on you 7 times, feel bad while we blast your earholes with this grating, repetitive loop of a song over and over". Which is a fine idea on paper, until you realize that it's the home faithful that have to be subjected over and over and over again to this tripe, and if it's designed to make one group of people hate it, wouldn't there be potential for it to evoke similar emotions from the rest of us?
Because that's what happened.
So Whatcha Want?
So this means to effectively come up with a suitable goal song (which, I don't know, can we?), there needs to be a certain criteria met to best envelope the wants and needs of an admittedly divided and diverse fanbase. It's a little bit restrictive, but, alas, it has to be.
To me, a goal song needs to be the following:
- It has to illicit a positive response. Your team just scored a goal, this is obvious.
- It should be catchy, easily stuck in your head. (Barbara Streisand does indeed do this, but shut up forever)
- It needs to be fan friendly, meaning relatively inoffensive. That's a tall order, because in general, people are idiots and will be offended by anything
Lastly, if a goal song is meant to be this big, monumental, tradition of a thing, it needs to be something you can build a small legacy around. It needs to be something that when you hear it, you need to think "hey, the Flames just scored"...and that's when you hear it ANYWHERE, not just at the Dome.
As an example, what do you think of whenever you hear the Chelsea Dagger? Exactly.
That's a perfect archetype, because it helps define the Blackhawks fans. Their fans love it, we all hate it, and it resonates that way. And it does away with all these things we think a goal song needs: in the Flames case, it's not something that needs to be by a local artist, have anything about fire, or hell, or anything particularly incendiary, it just needs to be good. We already have songs with that particular imagery for when the Flames come out for their warmup, and for when they win a game. The goal song has every opportunity to be different.
Which, admittedly, it is right now, but that doesn't mean it's not garbage.
We can fix it. Let's fix it.
"... the city's longstanding love for Country music..."
personally, I've never seen any evidence of this. I've lived in Calgary my whole life, and I know a lot more metal fans than country fans.
In fact, I probably know more people who absolutely hate country music than are even ambivalent towards it.
As for what the goal song should be, why not an instrumental? That way there's no possibility of it having "offensive" lyrics, and it can still be great.
In direct opposition to my instrumental idea, why not "Through the Fire and the Flames" by DragonForce? It's probably a bit busy for a lot of peoples' taste, but there are some sections of it that could work as a goal song.
Besides, it's fast and energetic. Like Hartley's system is supposed to be.
February 15 2013, 01:33PM
Official recommendation: any Taylor Swift song :D Hahaha. I like anything I can bop around to ... hence my Barbra Streisand love. It's catchy. Danceable. Boom - I'm happy!
February 15 2013, 01:37PM
@Torie Peterson
Taylor Swift? TAYLOR SWIFT?
*punctures own ear drums*
February 15 2013, 01:46PM
An appropriate song for the Flames would be one that is a little older, past its prime, and comes with a high royalty fee.
February 15 2013, 01:46PM
How about Unchained Melody?
Wouldn't it be cool if they had a goal song tailored to suit each of the Flames top scorers? and mebbe a generic one for the not-so-prolific scorers.
An example the other night by someone on twitter suggested if Cervenka scored a third goal they should have played "moves like jagger" in a nod to Jagr on the other team...
What's the name of Chicago's goal song? That's a great goal song... I know because I'm filled with seething rage everytime I hear it go off and I'd want a similer reaction from fans of other teams whenever my team score. :)
Personally I think the goal song doesn't have to mean anything beyond - "Eff You" to the opposing team. If it has catchy refrain that the crowd can get into then I'm down for it.
The current goal song sucks bobo and needs to go and definitely NO Taylor Swift. blech.
February 15 2013, 01:55PM
Chelsea Dagger. Referenced in the post in fact.
February 15 2013, 01:55PM
Dear Lord Torie, Your love for TSwizz is unstoppable. LIKE THE SONG THAT THE FLAMES GOAL SONG SHOULD BE:
FOXY SHAZAM (FTW): unstoppable.
Chelsea Dagger. Referenced in the post in fact.
D'oh... my eyes must have skipped over that part. But yeah, call me a poor sport or "fan wrong" but I want a goal song that completely rubs their noses in the fact that they just got got.
February 15 2013, 01:59PM
BOL, I'm so glad you've brought this up, our music at any point in the game is a laughing stock!
I'm up for anything, something remix maybe metal is always good.
followed by 1:15 into Kernkraft 400- Zombie Nation (Sports Remix).
Or strictly for humour purposes: "This Is How We Do It," by Montell Jordan Then we would definitely be a laughing stock...
February 15 2013, 02:02PM
Speaking of things that need to go away...that abysmal "fan right/fan wrong" promo by the Flames/Telus. Ugh.
Speaking of things that need to go away...that abysmal "fan right/fan wrong" promo by the Flames/Telus. Ugh.
Yeah, that promo is a load of brown bananas.
Speaking of things that need to go away...that abysmal "fan right/fan wrong" promo by the Flames/Telus. Ugh.
First things first....
If we can get the goal song changed, we can do anything. ;o)
February 15 2013, 02:06PM
Go With The Flow by Queens of the Stone Age.
And if we're taking nominations I nominate "Ya-Yo Gakk" by Steve Vai (because Steve Vai is awesome) or maybe something by Mr. Bungle.
Ya-yo Gakk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6JYXiXio74
February 15 2013, 02:13PM
of course if Foxy Shazam isn't your taste
There's always The Darkness - I believe in a thing called love... But that doesn't really have the chelsea dagger quality to it that unstoppable does.
February 15 2013, 02:22PM
Please...no country. That is all.
February 15 2013, 02:25PM
How about Du Hast?
February 15 2013, 02:26PM
What about something like Tick Tick Boom - The Hives or Hey Hey - Superchick... i got nothing.
Heaven's on Fire by Kiss. I've been in this boat for a while, or hell lets go back to Shot Down in Flames, what the hell was wrong wit that?
February 15 2013, 02:38PM
"Dig for Fire" by the Pixies.
1)It's the Pixies for crying out loud! 2)The title of the song. 3)See 1.
The only caveat is that it would have to start at the 2nd chorus as that's when the song is at it's crescendo.
February 15 2013, 02:41PM
what about the the last 29 seconds of Just by Radiohead? electric guitar solo with Thom Yorke repeating 'you do it to yourself'. I imagine that would irritate opposing teams
February 15 2013, 02:43PM
For what it's worth, the song in Iggy's goal dance is "Fuldans" by a swedish group called Fulkultur. The english version is called "The Ugly Dance" or something.
February 15 2013, 02:44PM
I agree that most country music is lame. But surely no person would say that about Johnny Cash (would they)? RING of FIRE!
February 15 2013, 02:48PM
Oh boy I'm gonna get roasted for suggesting this. Here it goes just start listening at 15 sec in. It's very catchy:
February 15 2013, 02:52PM
That was terrible.
February 15 2013, 03:09PM
How about Du Hast?
Would love it if they used Du Hast, except that it's Kipper's song.
.. Though that might be rectified after this year.
http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=BrXq_QY2de8&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DBrXq_QY2de8 "Paradise city" with the Go Flames Go chant in the background. I would use this just cut out the commentary parts and keep the Go Flames Go chant.
February 15 2013, 03:41PM
warriors call from volbeat
Danko Jones - Code of the Road Ramones - I Wanna Be Sedated Stooges - 1969 Black Sabbath - Supernaut Judas Priest - Freewheel Burnin' Hives - Hate to Say I Told You So BOC - Burnin' For You System of a Down - Sweet Pea
Panama - Van Halen, big chorus and it's catchy.
February 15 2013, 04:42PM
Might I suggest Jump Into The Fire by Harry Nilsson?
Not only does it rock, but they could play any number of parts...the drum solo, the guitar riff or Harry screaming.
February 15 2013, 04:54PM
I think I commented on this same subject the last time it was posted. I have the same suggestion too: take a page out of the Blackhawks' book and use "Flathead" by The Fratellis. Just as if not catchier than Chelsea Dagger. Or "I Bet you Look Good on the Dance Floor" by Arctic Monkeys. While we're at it, they should change their entrance and powerplay song too.
February 15 2013, 05:02PM
No offence taken whatsoever :) I actually find it really interesting that people are so passionate about a goal song which is something I never really put much thought into before.
Oh yeah ... #Swizz4Life
Serena Ryder Stompa
have it re-miked and sped up a bit but could be catchy oh oh oh oh clapping my hands stomping my feet: all things we want to do when the Flames score
February 15 2013, 06:21PM
Might I suggest Jump Into The Fire by Harry Nilsson?
Not only does it rock, but they could play any number of parts...the drum solo, the guitar riff or Harry screaming.
This tune should be on the A list for a goal song. Awesome for you to remember this tune. Heard it on the radio a couple of months ago for the first time in years.
Absolutley no hip hop. NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!
Bad enough they play that Sh!t during the warmup some times.
I would rather hear the "burn baby burn" chorus from disco inferno for a goal song than that crap.
Johnny Cash's burning ring of fire is a natural in my opinion. Yeah I know its the victory song already though.
February 15 2013, 06:44PM
It should just be the "YEEEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHHHH" from one of the various songs that The Who have done.
Carry on my wayward son. That is all.
Definetly not Country!Country favours the emotional side and has little to do with a high energy sports event.I love Blue Radio ,but was dissapointed that Calgary chose them for the grey cup a few years ago.It should have been Sum 41.High Energy all the way.What,s being played is embarrassing
At the rate this game is going might as well make it Don't Stop Believing
"How You Like Me Now" by The Heavy. The chorus is exactly what I would want for my goal song. It's easy, catchy and rubs it in to the other team. Perfect.
"Burn it Up" by The Offspring.
Those dudes used to rule - much like Jarome and company. Match made in heaven.
The talking horse by the Melvins. This would also be a great segway to revive the old "POWER PONY" 3rd jersey and sell it subliminally. It will most likely upset the old folks and cowpokes though.....

The thought was nice
"I bought these shoes online because they were not available in any stores near me. I wanted them to wear to my college graduation but they did not arrive on time. Once I did receive them I wasn't disappointed but still not WOWed the way I thought I'd be. I brought the brown color and they were lighter than I thought they would be. I was looking for a modern vintage look with the cut outs and the shoes just didn't fit the bill. Also, there is no way to adjust the back strap which wasn't good for me because I have very narrow heels and there's no elastic to keep them more secure. The shoe all together just didn't look good on my foot. The peep toe made my first two toes look cramped up but the shoe was pretty comfy in the front area. The quality didn't seem good either. Seemed like the thread would begin to show after a few wears. I returned the shoes for the above reasons and I just didn't think it was worth the money."
