KRONWALLED

1st thing I learned in 2012: If you mix a few cream soda and rums into your drinks for the night you will apparently feel fantastic the next day.

Poor Randy Cuneyworth.  I understand that many Montrealers are sensitive about their french language but insisting that the head coach of the Habs must speak french is just ridiculous.  Wouldn't the best coach available be the best choice?  I guess as long as the head coach can explain why they lost in french the natives will be satisfied.

For as lame as Limp Bizkit was, you have to give lead singer, Fred Durst, some credit for understanding his place in it all.  During the height of the band's fame (and believe it or not they were pretty big for a while) Durst once said that his band was not timeless and that no one would like their music within a few years.  Rap-Rock was popular at the time and Durst took advantage.  Like selling pumpkins in November - it's all about timing.

It would be really cool to see both of Steve Nash and Jarome Iginla get traded.  Both guys deserve to play for a contender and both teams they currently play for have no shot at that.  Iggy would look good in a Wings uniform along side Zetterberg!

Blake Griffin was already the most fun player to watch in the NBA and now with Chris Paul running the point for the Clippers it will be showtime every night in LA.  Hopefully they can wipe that smug grin off of Kobe for a while.

Talk about being on a roll... in the last couple weeks the Bruins have wins of 9-0, 6-1, 6-0, 8-0, 5-2 and 3-0.  Yikes.

I always liked Pierre McGuire on TSN but now that he is gone I'm starting to like Ray Ferraro even better.

Shouldn't gingerbread men be red or orange?  Just asking.

The Wings lost this game but it was worth it to see Ryan Kessler get KRONWALLED.  Kesler, who might be my least favourite player in the league, complained that Kronwall wouldn't fight him after the hit.  I am so sick of this idea that every time there is a big hit that the hitter should have to fight someone after.  If it is a dirty hit or if some 4th line plug smokes your best player then I can understand it - otherwise it just looks like you can't take a hit.

Big, funny dude:  Jay Oakerson.

I never bought in to the Tim Tebow hype. He seems like a less talented version of Mike Vick - who I also don't think can lead a team to a Superbowl. The NFL is set up for passing (check out the best QB's right now - Rodgers, Brees, Manning and Brady - all stationary QB's with wicked arms) and even though Tebow and Vick are fun to watch they aren't good enough to lead a team all the way.

Gotta love when a regular house party turns into a dance party.

Even though the Canadians fell short this year the World Jr hockey tournament is right up there with the Stanley Cup playoffs and the Olympics.  Amazing hockey with great rivalries.

So iTunes finally comes out with iTunes Match which can make most or all of your music that you have on iTunes available on any computer or device through the iCloud.  They are charging $28 for the service - per year!   I think this is crazy and will soon be a free service.  Speaking of crazy, I noticed in the fine print that it is limited to 25,000 songs!  Who the hell has 25,000 songs!?  I thought I was doing well at around 4000.

Stick it in your ear: Them Shoes by Patrick Sweany

Evgeny Kuznetsov is a punk. I don't care how good he is, he's a punk.

I really liked the movie Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey Jr and I'd like to see the sequel which is out now.  Is Netflix in Listowel yet?

Fans who stand up and turn around to wave at the camera during a hockey game should be immediately ejected.

I don't hate the Leafs like I once did but I would still like them to go on a long losing streak just so Ron Wilson can get fired.  Can't stand that pretentious prick.

Do toys really need to be packaged inside 2 boxes with 312 twist ties and astronaut tape?
