Monday updates, now with a side of stuffing

The QMJHL has released its players of the week and the Offensive player of the week award goes to Jordan Caron of the Rimouski Oceanic while the Defensive player of the week was Captain Alex of the Saint John Sea Dogs. Good things happened when Captain Alex rejoined the Sea Dogs line-up. They started winning. According to the QMJHL website

The blueliner managed a goal and two assists while posting a +3 rating in two Saint John wins. Moreover, he was a physical presence in both games, distributing five bodychecks. Finally, the Sea Dogs were perfect with a man down as opponents failed to register a goal in seventeen power-play opportunities.

Also rans include that little Maxime Gougeon fellow (Rimouski Oceanic), Gabriel Lemieux (Cataractes) and Sea Dogs goaltender Robert Mayer.

The Sportsnet CHL hot/not list puts the Quebec Remparts in the Hot list (so hot that even J Roy has the second highest GAA in the league next to Moncton's Nicola Riopel) and their Russian import Dmitri Kugryshev is the hot player of the week. The cold team are the still winless Val d'Or Foreurs and this week's cold player is last week's hottie (and QMJHL offensive player for last week) Angelo Esposito of the Montreal Junior, who was held off the point cards (and my dance card) all week even against the super-poopy Halifax Mooseheads (I still love you my sweet Moose). He just stands there and occasionally skates in circles. I don't think Angelo even tries...he has a bad case of the "2007-2008 Mooseheads syndrome". Me, Me, Me.

It is fun picking on NHL first round draft picks that are not on my team (It turns out that I am as mean as the old men on the boards, therefor I receive only the privilege of thinking about biting my left one)

The Augusta Lynx have made their first round of cuts and my darling P-O Pelletier is NOT amongst the cuts. Whew. While his name is not listed on the current roster (which includes only players from the last pre-season game), according to an article on Our Sports Central:

...the team released forwards Matt Hartman and Igor Karlov, as well as defensemen Jim Jensen and Josh Peterson from their training camp roster today. These moves follow a previous round of cuts from Saturday, in which the club released goaltender Sean Hershman, defensemen Arthur Fritch and Mark Hammersmith, and forwards Jimmy Russo, Ryan Stern and Jamie Thompson.

The club's total training camp roster now stands at 23.

The team is still expecting other players to come down from the AHL, and according to one source, possibly another goaltender.

NoMeansNo

Ugh Angelo, I said NO. They don't call it Hotlanta because of you, they call it Hotlanta because of Lehtonen (and soon enough Pavelec). How many times will I have to say no before you get it through your thick skull. The order goes: goalies, defensemen, defensively minded forwards. Nowhere on that list is there 'skill forwards'. I do not date speedy skill forwards except for Squirrels Giroux and that is because he has a good all around game. Sure he is good on the PP but he also kills on the PK and for that I would give the boy a nut.

Fine, I will admit that I have also accepted dates with all of the Sea Dogs (irrespective of size or defensive skill), Keven Veilleux (but only because he is 10 ft tall), and Francis Paré (only once, and that was because I was convinced that he was a nerdy scientist).

You still want a date? Fine, convince me. Tell me a little more about yourself. You would also like me to read the recent prospect camp review at Hockey's future. You are a lot of work. Most boys just take off their shirt and spank me with their stick. It works every time, kinda like my pickup line "do you like hockey and blowjobs?"

Ok, I had Pare put on his glasses and read it; he gave me the gist, but I'm still thinking mmmmNO. I also think it was frivolous of you to spend your entire signing bonus on hair gel. You should have saved that money for a fancy meal, now if I were to say yes we would have to eat out at St Hubert.

I should check your stats? Sorry I tried, I was going to compare your 2007-2008 regular season numbers to Mooseheads undrafted wee hitting machine (and sexy glasses wearer) PJ Corsi but apparently the QMJHL website has not been updated since 1969/03/21 at 11:43 PM (Eastern time)*. I hear the Cornwall Royals are gonna look really good next year. It's still 1969 right?


If you insist I will make you a deal, you take off your shirt and invite two of your defensemen to join us; then maybe I will reconsider. Yeah Brennan, Wall, Pomerleau, any will do. When it comes to Ds I'm not very picky.

More little things

The Atlanta Thrashers have signed Angelo Esposito, formerly of the Quebec Remparts but currently assigned to play with the Jr de Montreal. Within minutes of the signing all pharmacies and beauty supply stores in Atlanta ran out of hair gel.

Hockey's Future has a Q&A with Colorado Avalanche prospect and Lewiston Maineiacs goaltender Peter Delmas.


The voting for the hottest Centreman in the NHL has begun. Check out the Hottie Hockey Dreamy Team at Wrap around Curl and I mean, We got guys... and vote. While you are there add some write in votes for Mike Fisher, who was sadly enough left off of their list. What? Is the world coming to an end? I think maybe it must be. Either that or Jenn and Heather have had their eyes gouged out with mellonballers. Now they have to wear eye patches - sexy.
