Feb. 14th, 2011 07:24 pmToday at work, my boss made a series of requests that got dumber and dumber until it culminated in "Do you know what time is it?" (Gee, I don't know, if only you were sitting in front of a powerful computing machine that happened to display the time.) Hence, here is a series of hockey things that you should feel free to talk to me about. (Even if some of them were on twitter already.)
1. Versteeg! Philly! !!!!!
2. The following tweet from Bourne (who was at the PHX game sitting right behind the Hawks bench): "Toews has said "f*ck me" more times than a porn star tonight." I cannot lie: I would probably read it. (look. it cannot be less plausible than certain other AUs I have read.)
3. The fact that we traded for a guy and were told he was a center, only to learn he hasn't played center in 7 years. Seriously, what do we have to do to get a 2nd line center? (Apparently the answer is "make Bolly do it," which I am not sure I can get behind, if only for the utter mess it makes of the rest of the lines.)
4. HOW DO THEY ALL HAVE THE FLU? Like, "flu" HAS to be code for something, right? let me tell you a story: when I was in college playing div3 athletics at a tiny school, they held flu shot clinics down in Sports Med for varsity athletes. (often a few weeks after the ones for the undergrads at large, so the convo went like this: "OK, team, who needs to go get a flu shot during practice today?" "Nope, got it three weeks ago.") Combine that with the general impression that as a pro hockey player, medicine is something that happens to you, and, just, HOW DO THEY ALL HAVE THE FLU?
