I think he's a bit of a whiner. Hossa went after him a few years ago too, and Hossa never fights.

In this case, he started yapping at Chara (who's, what, 6'9"?) -- waited till the refs stepped between them -- then threw a punch at Zdeno. Chara responded by beating the hell out of Vinny until he remembered that he had about six inches and 50 pounds on the guy.

Edmonton up 1-0 on Detroit. I know I say it often, but I hate the Wings and all they ... shit. 1-1.

Zdeno Chara just beat the hell out of Vinny Lecavalier. Between the increased scoring and the fact that all the players on every team are crazy angry (after another fight, Pavel Kubina just skated off, kicking helmets), these are some entertaining playoffs. As long as the Red Wings don't win.

I don't have your e-mail address. Send it to me and I'll, uh, send it to you.

I was supposed to get a copy of this as well. Where's my copy, jackass?

I've got NHL Center Ice at home, and at work we get all the satellite feeds. I'm always hooked up (so long as I live my entire life on the couch or at work).
Greg has an amazing ability to write compact, sleek and entertaining content. It's amazing and I am not afraid to say that I am in awe of his literary dexterity.

Are the things you're talking about putting up the "rants" from one of the previous incarnations of the site? I remember those being entertaining as hell.
That is very kind of you, and also what I fear about them.

If you separated yourself from your team losing, it was a pretty entertaining game. In terms of people completely losing their shit, at least.

It works for 2007 as well!

And this Saturday's draft! You know, I said two months ago that we were somehow coming out of this draft without Leinart, Bush or Young even though we had the #2 choice. Then they went and signed Brees.

But I will say it anyway. We are somehow coming out of this draft without D'Brickashaw Ferguson or A.J. Hawk. MARK MY WORDS. The signing of Brees CHANGES NOTHING.

Oh, and the Flyers got beat 8-2 last night (game not televised out here) in case you were wondering. I hate sports.

The "Games" section of the website should be done

I redid the games page, so each page (except Pantomime) has its own page.

http://www.joltcountry.com/games

I have not spidered the site, though, so there may be missing or incorrect links.

Next up is to finally convert everything over to the new scheme for the Features directory. And, to be honest, I should give the Knight Orc Home Page area some help.

I also have blog-like articles I wrote from 1997 and 1998 that I could put up if it were the sort of thing that people would find interesting. But I will presume that nobody wants to see stuff I wrote from that long ago, which is understandable. It's pretty painful.
