Here is my Year-To-Date all-stars including the Olympics.

G - Craig Anderson, Ryan Miller, Roberto Luongo. two USians.

D - Mike Green, Chris Pronger, Duncan Keith, Drew Doughty, Shea Webber, Brent Seabrook, Stephane Robidas. entirely CDNian

F - Alex Ovechkin, Henrik Sedin, Sidney Crosby, Daniel Sedin, Jonathan Toews, Steve Stamkos, Patrick Marleau, Dany Heatley, Ilya Kovalchuk, Jarome Iginla, Brenden Morrow, Mike Fisher, Ryan Getzlaf. mostly CDNian (very rare). No Thornton (becoming convinced he disappears in big games, see Olympics)

Me drinking beer on the floor of the ACC. Sideways.  Stupid Camera.

We updated the website with forums for every single Olympic athlete. Sorry, no girlfriend forums.

Here's a pic of our basement hockey rink. The black wall is actually the remains of a hardwood cabinet. I screwed the pieces to the wall covering a blocked window (the high black part). My son shoots pucks off of the linoleum floor. It's actually harder to shoot a puck off of linoleum than ice. Alternately, you could shoot off of cement or pavement (outside). My son also uses 5 pounds hand weights. I think that's too much for 9 years old. I recomment 3 pounds for building wrist strength.

Most likely the biggest cyber-bully ever on Talk-Sports is Laureen Foat. This cougar has been fighting with everybody on the Pau Gasol forum for several years now. She appears to hang also on the Manny Ramirez, Dirk Nowitzki, Kobe Bryant, Marc Gasol. She has been banned on numerous occasions only to return with new usernames and IP addresses.

Here are her various Talk-Sports blogs.

Here's some fragments from the very classy emails we receive on sometimes an hourly basis from her.

• You are a f*cking asshole and, I will seriously get you!!
• I already told Randy and I also told him that if continue like that I will file a police report against you

You can also check her out on Facebook.

New Leaf roster

Goalies

• Giguere
• Gustavson (RFA)

Defense

• Beauchemin 
• Exelby (UFA)
• Finger
• Gunnarson
• Kaberle
• Komisarek (injured)
• Phaneuf
• Schenn
• Van Ryn (out)

Beauchemin, Kaberle, Komisarek, Phaneuf are their top 4. Gunnarson and Schenn are the kids trying to crack the top 4. Somehow, we still have to move Finger's salary. We moved Blake.

Forwards

• Bozak
• Grabovski (injured)
• Kessel
• Kulemin (RFA)
• Mitchell (RFA)
• Orr
• Ponikarovsky (UFA)
• Primeau (UFA)
• Rosehill
• Sjostrom
• Stempniak (UFA)
• Wallin (UFA)

Grabovski is the only scoring center and he's injured. That's a big hole that needs to be filled. That makes Tyler Bozak the only player on the roster that fits the mold of a scoring centerman. I have to believe that Stempniak will be traded shortly. Poni, on the other hand, may be in Burke's longer-term plans. Mitchell, Primeau and Wallin can't like the acquisition of Sjostrom. Do we really need another non-scoring centerman?

We've also increased the price of bronze and silver memberships. If you want the old pricing, then we can make it available on request till the new year.

On the other hand, with Toews and Kane, they'll be competitive for years to come. Better than the Leafs or Isles or Canes.

9 yr-old YouTube hockey censation Oliver Wahlstrom.

Some thing this is an original goal. In fact, Rob Hisey use to do this years ago. Here's a variation where Hisey does the same, but with his stick between his legs.

That said, Rob was a teenager and Oliver is doing this at 9 yrs old. I can't wait to see his moves when he's 16.

Senators

Capitals and Penguins

Thrashers

Devils

Flyers

Bruins
