Did you know there’s a service out there called Twitter? Apparently, it can be linked to anything anyone says ever in real time. Because of this, I figured what better way to follow the NHL free agent frenzy. I signed up to Twitter just so I could become one with the suddenly sentient NHL public construct.
As it turns out, when you do this you become much like Neo or Jesus; able to see and hear all that is going on in NHL team offices. I plan on abusing this power as soon as possible. In the meantime, here’s some of the stuff that happened on Twitter during the free agent craziness:
fla_owner24 – I’ll ask again: Who approved the Bouwmeester trade? FUCK!
bmurray – 2 minutes to midnight. Talking to Dany. Agents for our UFAs forming a line outside door.
ciggysather – It’s UFA time! Pants. Are. Off.
bgainey – @ciggysather: Speaking of pants…did I leave mine at your place yesterday?
bigburke – I’m floating a generic 5 year, $25M deal to all UFAs right now.
dheatley – @bmurray: Thought the trade was to NYR or SJ?
bmurray – Dany’s agent just left, walked past the lined-up agents and slapped each one in the head.
bgainey – @mcammalleri: If you tell everyone you signed because of Gomez, I’ll add a year and $1m per.
thecolt – @bigburke: DONE!
bigburke – @thecolt: Shut it, Colton. We already signed you a few minutes ago.
bigburke – Just so everyone is brought up to speed, remember that I am the best.
theheater1 – @bmurray: NO SNOWY WILDERNESS FOR ME, LISPY
dsutter – @fla_owner: hmmmmberhhmmmmbrrrrrrrrgrrrumbbbbrumble…hahaha…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
bmurray – @theheater1: Dany?
bigburke – Anyone? We’re talking 5 years. FIVE. And 25 big large ones. US.
kubiekoob – @bigburke: Extension?!? YES!
bigburke – @kubiekoob: Hell no. in fact, you’re off to ATL. Go ruin their PP.
mkomisarek – @bigburke: 5Yrs for $25M. OK.
dtallon – Just signed a guy for TWELVE years, too! Eat it, Holland.
bigburke – @mkomisarek: Hmmm…How about you take 5y, $20M?
dheatley – @bmurray: I want to go to a contender. I thought we discussed this.
mkomisarek – @bigburke: You just offered $25M!
droloson – @stambellini: Just give me one extra year! I’m 40, not dead!
bigburke – Left message with John Tavares’ agent. Hoping to get first offer in.
bigburke – @mkomisarek: What about $21M?
theheater1 – @bmurray: GIVE ME MY $4 MILLION, SPITTLELIPS
stambellini – @bmurray: Why aren’t you calling back?
gsnow – @bburke: Again with this shit? Seriously, get over it already.
stambellini – @droloson: No.
mkomisarek – @bigburke: God, you are a douche.
bigburke – @mkomisarek: OK…$22.5M, but that’s it.
bmurray – @dheatley: I’m confused.
theheater1 – @bmurray: THAT’S NOT HARD TO ACCOMPLISH, GRAMPS
ciggysather – @theheater1: Wow. Even I don’t talk to Murray like that and I’m an asshole.
ciggysather – @bmurray: Fuck this. Calling Gaborik
mkomisarek – @bigburke: Fine, I’ll take the $22.5M.
bigburke – Doesn’t get any better than me, folks.
droloson – Well, goodbye EDM. I’m going to LI. Gave me 2 yrs and a front office job.
bgainey – @habsmarketing: Try this for team press kit, “At least Spacek makes less than Redden!!”
jschoenfeld – Donald Brashear showed up at my office and stared at me. Signed him.
therick – @gsnow: Hey! My legs are fine. Really.
ciggysather – @jschoenfeld: WTF?
cfletcher – Good news, fans! Replaced our good, injury-prone winger with an older, not-as-good one.
gsnow – @therick: I’m sure they are, Ricky.
bigburke – BRB. Walked in front of a mirror.
mgaborik – @ciggysather: I’m in. I signed the stuff and sent it back.
stambellini – The Oilers are proud to annouce Nikolai Khabibulin as their new goalie.
droloson – @stambellini: Seriously? You gave him FIVE YEARS. He’s fucking 36!
droloson – @stambellini: I wanted 2 years and I’m 40. Do the goddamn math, Einstein.
jdavidson – @gbettman: Signed Ty. Can we get the outdoor game, now?
ciggysather – @mgaborik: Good. Eat it, NY sports press.
stambellini – FUCK!
ciggysather – @mgaborik: Lets do the press thing next weekend.
ciggysather – @mgaborik: Have to fly to MTL tomorrow and punch Gainey in the balls again.
gbettman – @jdavidson: No. Decided to play entire playoffs outdoors, rotating Crosby into each lineup.
ciggysather – @mgaborik: Marion?
supersid – @gbettman: Where’s my lunch, gimp?!?! I ordered that shit like 5 mins ago.
bgainey – @ciggysather: FUCK!
mgaborik – @ciggysather: This is Marion’s agent. Broke three fingers faxing the contract back to you.
bigburke – @bmurray: Wait? Chris Neil isn’t available anymore?
mgaborik – @ciggysather: And pulled his groin. Again.
bigburke – @bmurray: FUCK!
gbettman – @supersid: FUCK!
ciggysather – @mgaborik: FUCK!

My nephew just got a tattoo. It looked great and it had meaning for him. So it made sense. I took him out for a beer to celebrate. My niece went with us and she asked me what I thought about her getting a tattoo. I told her absolutely not. Any other male chauvanist pigs out there that think women are beautiful just they way they are.
Nice stuff. I will come back again soon to read some more.

I bet if it were Barry Bonds instead of Clemens being charged by Congress, you posters wouldn’t be blaming Congress and Major League Baseball. It’s amazing how you become an apologist for one of your own who is obviously as big a liar as Bonds. There, that’s how you call a liar a liar. Stop the BS and call the man what he is……:-)
remember when I first started thinking this was more confusing than it should be :)
That guy just looks dangerous. I doubt that six years will rehabilitate him, probably nothing will. Too bad one of Paris’ bodyguards didn’t see him with a knife, then we probably wouldn’t even have to try him, just bury him.:-)

A couple of weeks ago i downloaded Halo 3 ODST Torrent from http://www.games-iso.com and, even though its a really OLD game, its simply the best PC game ever made in my opinion!
Great post, very informative, hopefully it will being some of those lurkers out into the open.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
