Deaf

I must be going deaf...because I can't hear any of the Roberto Luongo fanboys anymore. In fact, it's deathly silent.

Yes, I do acknowledge the fact that Canada beat Russia 7-3 but do the Brodeur haters acknowledge this stat: 3 goals on Russia's first 17 shots. I'm sorry but the Americans provided way more of a threat than Russia ever did.

The Russians played terrible. The Americans forced chances to happen by dumping the puck in and going after it. Russia made a terrible mistake by trying to carry the puck over the blue line. That doesn't work against Canada especially when they're on their game. You played fanastic, Luongo. Red Light Racicot could have won that game!

Roberto Luongo has proved absolutely nothing. Wins against Norway, Germany, and a lackluster Russian team are nothing to be impressed about. Put a goalie in the net that actually deserves it.

Pants

Look at those things! Awesome. Those are the pants that Team Norway wear while curling.

These must be the quirkiest Olympics of all time. When I first saw those pants, I was horrified. I slowly warmed up them and even want a pair. I guess 435,000 people agree with me as that is the number of fans of these pants on Facebook!

435,000 people panicked this morning when the higher-ups at Facebook decided that the fan page violated the sites terms of use. There was an internet equivalent of a riot this morning and for the first time, a riot actually achieved something. Two and a half hours later, the page was back up and running!

Now how do I get a pair?

Team Canada

After the loss to the Americans Sunday night, it seems as though all Canadians are in panic mode. First of all all...why does everyone's emotional stability rely on how our hockey team does? That's not the point but still...calm down! We all know that Canada should have won that game. No reason to panic yet. They get one extra game to gel as a team and that's more important than an extra day of rest.

I am, however, not happy with Roberto Luongo being named starter. I am a New Jersey Devils fan, yes, but him starting over Martin Brodeur has nothing to do with me being frustrated about my favorite player being put on the backburner. What has Roberto Luongo ever won since the World Juniors? Not a lot. Since he's come to Vancouver, he has become a human funnel when the playoffs rolled around and he has threatened to retire from the game of hockey to go play poker. Vancouver named him captain of the team to make him a little more happy. This guy is a big baby. I want a person in net that has a PASSION for the game of hockey and a desire to win. I firmly believe that Luongo wanted back to Florida so he could have all the spotlight. No one on that team is good so Luongo would get all the shots and all the glory for their seventeen wins a season if he were to go back. He doesn't deserve to play for our country. If Marc Savard doesn't get to play for our country for having a reputation in the NHL as being a whiner, Roberto Luongo should be dismissed as well.

I'd rather see Marc-Andre Fleury in net instead of Roberto Luongo. You know...he helped Pittsburgh win the STANLEY CUP last year against Detroit. That's clutch. That's what Team Canada needs. The higher-ups on that team should also know that once Brodeur has a bad game, he's not going to have another for a LONG time. Put him back in net and let Luongo gamble his money away.

This is a song from The Green Brothers. Apparently it was recorded in 1996 and they aren't mad at General Larry Platt at all...they just want a little recognition for their song. They claim that the General's song is just a different take on "Back Pockets on the Floor". What do you think?

Lip-synching

I found an article with infamous lip-synching incidents in music history. There was the usual...Britney Spears, Hillary Duff, Ashlee Simpson but there was one surprise. Nirvana.

I decided to read more into it because that really surprised me. From there the story turns into a comedy. It was 1991 and the band was appearing on a show called "Top of the Pops". The show's producers wanted the music to be pre-recorded while Cobain sang live. The band reluctanty agreed but they made a mockery of the show. Cobain strums like a robot, Grohl drummed like an idiot, and Novoselic jumped around like a grasshopper in a henhouse. Not only that, Cobain sings at half-speed!

It's especially obvious during Kurt's guitar intro and the shot at 2:24 of Grohl drumming. It's pure gold. Take a look.

Is this a dirty hit or does David Booth need to keep his head up? Why is it that now, in this age of "advanced" equipment, that players are getting injured on a more frequent basis?

I have no idea what they can do to stop the injuries but I'm a guy that thinks players need to keep their head on a swivel. I may sound a little old school but hockey's hockey. It's always been a rough and violent sport. It's unfortunate that players are getting hurt but seriously, are kids not being taught to be careful?

I'm always way too lazy to update my blog on Mondays so here's my lazy update for today. Tuesdays are so brutal it's not even funny. The polarity is off in my body and I just feel like there's something wrong. By Wednesday I feel okay and then on to Thursday I feel great but guess what. It's all over on Friday for me to start over again on a crappy Monday.

ANYWAY...there was a huge concert announcement yesterday. Guns N' Roses (not the original line-up) will be coming to Edmonton on January 17th, 2010 to rock Rexall Place. Hard to believe it's 2010, eh?

Now I know you're saying, "It's not Guns N' Roses without Slash!". I hate to break it to you...but Axl Rose is Guns N' Roses. It's not Guns N' Slashes. Axl has always been GNR and he's the one who made them "The Most Dangerous Band on the Planet".

This brings me to another point. Chinese Democracy doesn't suck. Let me ask you a question. The album sucks compared to what? Led Zeppelin II? Paranoid? Even Appetite for Destruction? Maybe. Or compared to fifteen years of waiting? Put all of that aside and Chinese Democracy is a good album. Just listen to it with your blinders off and you'll see that that's exactly what it is...a good album. The same people that crap all over the nineties era Metallica crap all over the new GNR and they don't understand that musicians need to grow up and try different things. Axl did and he put out a sweet record.



Regardless, the new Guns N' Roses knows how to put on a show and I promise you, it will be worth to money to check out. Tickets range from $49.50 to $89.50 and they go on sale this Friday at 10:00 AM. Click here to get your tickets.

Georges Laraque a Sexist?

A new web ad has surfaced where George Laraque, player for the Montreal Canadiens and formerly of the Edmonton Oilers, endorses an alcoholic energy drink called Octane 7.0. Feminist groups are up in arms about it and want Laraque to be punished. On top of that, the new NHL CBA states that no player can endorse an alcoholic beverage. Is Georges a bad man for doing this especially after all the community work he's done in both Edmonton and Montreal? Why don't the women in the commercial get blamed by feminist groups for appearing in the ad? You be the judge.

You can see the video here.

Laraque said that he donated the money he made from the ad to charity but the groups that are attacking him won't be swayed! He has also said that he will volunteer for some women's rights groups to make up for his "mistake".

Did you copy my picks for the Alberta Ford Dealers Online Hockey Pool? If you did...you're a smart person. I guaranteed that I'd be one of the best and I'm tied for second with a handful of others. That was your chance to get a head start on the competition...I'm not going to share my genius anymore!



Current record: 13-3

The weekend of victory doesn't stop there for me though! I was invited to participate in the "Celebrity Pie Eating Contest" at the Fall Family Fair. I'll be honest...I kind of had to laugh when we were all announced as the biggest celebrities in Cold Lake history. It was my very first time walking into the Cold Lake Energy Centre and I have only been here for two weeks! I'm already one of the biggest celebrities in history? Awesome.

Needless to say...I was victorious. There were two heats and I won my heat taking me to the final where I also won. I guaranteed victory last week on the Afternoon Drive so I came out with all guns ablazing. Maybe a little too much. I still smell rotten whip cream since it went straight up my nose and I even shed blood! I cut my lip on the pie tin! I am now nursing a swollen lip and fighting a odor that compares to vomit but it was all worth it in the name of victory. I may skip the pumpkin pie portion of Thanksgiving dinner this weekend though.

What a big win for the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Saturday as they paid a "visit" to Commonwealth Stadium to do battle with the Edmonton Eskimos. I say "visit" because there may just have been more Rider fans than Eskimo fans. What an unbelievable atmosphere! The game set a CFL attendance record with over 62,000 people attending the game.

The game definitely didn't live up to the hype though...what a sloppy game! The Riders played about as bad as a team can play before it's a guaranteed lost. They threw three interceptions but still managed to win the game 23-20. Despite the quality of the game, it still had its exciting parts and the atmosphere was awesome.

By the way...how do you score a touchdown after punting on 3rd and 38?

My better half, Brittany, and I having a good time. Like the Paul Stanley facepaint?

My reaction when Saskatchewan stopped Edmonton on 3rd and 7 to seal the deal!

Kim Mitchell is one of the greatest musicians of all time. Not only CANADIAN musicians but ALL musicians.

He simply doesn't get the respect he deserves so this marks the official start of my campaign. Please take the time to go here and nominate our Canadian boy for Canada's Walk of Fame. Robert Munsch is in the Walk of Fame! Now...he's written some great novels for kids but he was born in PITTSBURGH, PENSYLVANIA, USA. Kim Mitchell was born and raised in Canada and should be in our Walk of Fame. Nominate him today.
