Ich bin ein ente

According to TSN:

The Anaheim Ducks made a pair of trades just prior to the NHL's Trade Deadline sending forward Samuel Pahlsson to the Chicago Blackhawks for defenceman James Wisniewski and a draft pick.

The Ducks then shipped forward Travis Moen and defenceman Kent Huskins to the San Jose Sharks for prospect Nick Bonino and goalie Timo Pielmeier and a conditional draft pick.

The KEYWORD here is TIMO PIELMEIER. Timo, goaltender for the Shawinigan Cataractes, signed a three year entry level contract with the Sharks just last summer. This season Pielmeier has a 2.62 GAA and 0.916 save % in 41 games with the second overall ranked Cataractes. This puts him within the top five for both GAA and sv% in the league.

Updates: Better late than never

The QMJHL has announced its offensive and defensive players of the week . After weeks of being in the running our Bavarian Liebe Timo Pielmeier has finally won the prize. New jersey, same pretty face, same mad skillz.
The Cataractes’ goaltender was stellar in two road wins versus the Montreal Juniors and the Quebec Remparts, posting a 1.00 goals-against-average and .960 save percentage. The German native, a third round draft pick in 2007 (San Jose), is second in the QMJHL in goals-against-average at 2.09 and tied for second in wins with 12. Shawinigan has won twelve straight, one short of the franchise record.
Ich spreche kein Deutsch my dearest Timo, but I still liebe you. Montreal goalie Jake Allen, and defencemen Jordan Southorn (PEI) and Marc-Andre Bourdon (Rouyn-Noranda) were also in the running.

On the offensive end, the Mooseheads own Tomas Knotek was nominated (3G, 3A, +2 in 2 games), but prizes were instead awarded to Yannick Riendeau of the Drummondville Voltigeurs for his 5 goals, 2 assists and +4 rating.


In Sea Dogs News:
The Dogs have released free-agent forwards Andrew Howes and Kyle Paige. I bet they (JB) are regretting giving up Francois Gauthier now. Silly bunts. Francois has 11 points since joining the Foreurs, 5 goals and 6 assists in 11 games. Paige has 1 goal and 2 assists in 11 games since the Sea Dogs chose him to replace Gauthier...because he is taller. I want to flick JB in the middle of his forehead. If I stand on Francois' shoulders together we might be able to reach.

18 Year old rookie Andrew Howes, despite lighting it up in the pre-season, had only 2 goals and 2 assists in 13 regular season games, and was a -3. Poor baby Howes.

What I don't get is the lackadaisical treatment of Matthew Stoddard. 18 year old Stoddard has played in 20 games but only has one goal, and is a -9. Stoddard's only advantage is his face offs win %, which stands around 56%. My Conclusion - the Sea Dogs are Fucked up.

Everything is coming up Timo

Timo Pielmeier has received two good pieces of news today
#1) he is leading in the poll for choosing my new #1 QMJHL boyfriend with 46 % of the vote.
#2) he has been signed to a three year entry level contract with the San Jose Sharks.

I suspect that people are trying to make Timo my new boyfriend because he is pretty and not because of his skills (as reflected by having the best Save% in the league for the 2007-2008 season). If the Sharks take Timo this season, and he leaves the Q at the tender age of 19, whomever receives the second highest number of votes will be my new boyfriend by default.

For more info on why I need a new Q boyfriend, and details about why I have selected the top 8 candidates for my next #1 QMJHL boyfriend, see the following blog posts -

Getting to know my boyfriends

- then vote. Maybe you, much like me, cannot make up your mind! That is OK because the poll is such that you can select more than one boy at a time. I get about 60 hits a day, and the poll has been up for over 10 days (in the sidebar to your right), and yet I only have 13 votes. What is up with that?

I know it is silly, but no one is watching you vote so no one will judge you if you do vote! Not Mats Sundin's indecision, not Brian Burke or Sean Avery's big mouth, not Kyle Wellwood's tubby belly, not Martin Brodeur's moobs, not Carlo Colaiacovo's fragile bones, not Pierre McGuire's douchebaggery, not even the hockey gods!!! No, these things will not judge you.

and...you know you want to.
