YouTube Tuesday

I had hoped there would be a signing announcement today, but alas, there has been now news from The Swamp.

I think this lovely video will cheer you up. Please enjoy Carrot Top sounding the siren in Vegas.

I still can't believe the Wranglers did that by the way.



The Blades went on to win that game 7-2 and even the Kelly Cup Final series 1-1. Obviously, you guys remember what happened after that. Three home games, three wins, one Kelly Cup.

I wonder how long the curse of Carrot Top will hang over Orleans arena?

Friday Links

Another week down, another week closer to hockey season. How about some links to celebrate?

- Don't forget that in the last post I offered up a signed Brandon MacLean picture to the winner of the contest. So far, it looks like I'm going to get to keep it (which I'm so OK with). If you don't want to leave a comment I will accept entries by email.

- More hockey furniture? More hockey furniture!

- In case you missed it: The Blades 15th anniversary logo.

- I love jersey cakes.



- Your Wikipedia hockey page for today: Checking

- I managed to miss the fact that the blog turned three Wednesday. I'd like to think I've improved since the first post (related: oh man do I miss all five players mentioned).

- I want to make a joke about the Wranglers coach saving a drowning man in Boston Harbor (something about making up for not saving his floundering team or something?),but I really can't.

- I found an affordable jersey that would be good for anyone OK with that horrid logo from the 07-08 season. My only issue is that it's labeled a game-worn when it obviously isn't. No fight strap and never had a nameplate and numbers= never on a player during a game.

- Kitty time!

Everblades Re-sign MacLean

In what I can only assume is the Blades front office continuing to mess with me (because I'm just that delusional), they announced the signing of Brandon MacLean.

You may remember MacLean for that whole "ending 14 year Kelly Cup drought with a heart stopping overtime goal and making us all so happy we didn't have voices the next day" thing.

This is definitely good news. He was always fun to watch and obviously instantly became a fan favorite with that goal. 



Personally, I'm hoping he can find a spot in the AHL (I pretty much want that for all the players), but I guess if he does have to play at the ECHL level it's good for us it will be in a Blades jersey.

Oh! This is the perfect time for a contest, isn't it?

Here we go: Leave your best nickname for Brandon MacLean in the blog's comments. I'll decide which is my favorite (though other fan votes may sway me in one direction or another) and award a MacLean autographed photo taken by yours truly to the best nickname. You'll also get the satisfaction of seeing it used constantly (by me at least) and bragging rights.

Three rules:
1. Please keep it clean. I don't need to be seen as any crazier than I already am. I'll be using this nickname while tweeting and blogging, be nice.
2. If you've won something before, you can't win this. Just giving everyone a chance to win something.
3. At least three people have to enter for the prize to be awarded, so maybe, I don't know... share the joy of Swamp Hockey with those you love?

You have until next Wednesday to think one up. Good luck.

Also, I believe the Everblades will be announcing their 15th anniversary logo today. Personally, I'm terrified, because the logo is so awesome you really can't improve on it.

YouTube Tuesday

While my little blogging vacation was nice while it lasted, there's been a little too much going on in Everblades land to sit around watching insane amounts of Hulu.

Tomorrow, I'll try to sum it all up in one big, fat, re-cap post. Until then, lets sit back and reminisce about what happened about a month ago...



it still feels good doesn't it?

YouTube Tuesday

You better believe it still feels good.



Don't forget, 5-11 tonight at Germain! It's time to celebrate and say goodbye. Also, there's going to be a bounce house. I freaking love bounce houses.
