    Show 9: Coming Soon

    College hockey and other happenings have been keeping me busy, but you'll be well informed on my trade opinions and what ever else. Tomorrow, I promise.

    Unsaintly Peter in Music Country

    Nashville acquires Peter Forsberg and gives up two young guns and a two draft picks. Hear my take in a segment put together for tomorrow. What better way to start your week hearing me talk about how this trade wasn't worth the hype!...What? You don't think so? I'll tell you why, and it should seem obvious. Philadelphia made a killing on this trade deal, that's all I'll say. Oh, and the proof is in a 4 to 1 loss on his first game with the Preds.

    Show 8: Trades Trades and Traded Again?

    In this clip I am talking Eric Belanger, the man who can't find a home for more than, well, a day really. Give a listen to find out what's happened on the trade block. Oh, and there was a fun trade that I don't think ANYBODY saw coming. I'll give you a hint: Flames again?

    Holding Out on Show 6

    Sorry about the delay. It's going to be here soon. I just need to get some things into order. I've decided that this time, my highlight team to watch for is the Calgary Flames after their little transaction with bringing back Craig Conroy. Aside from their snafu with Chicago the other night, I think the Flames are now to be declared dangerous.

    Also I ramble on about some random games during this past weekend that may be difference makers for some. The Devils beating the Sabres could set the tone for who may be the Beast in the East at the end of the season. The St. Louis Blues staying somewhat on top of their game against the Dallas Stars. No worries, the show will be here sometime today. I promise.

    Oh, and to "brandon", thanks for the inspiration to continue doing this. It's people like you who give me the urge to continue doing what I do. Because I know what you're probably incapable of doing, and plus you took the shortcut out. You commented on the blog page instead of emailing me. Well, I suppose emailing me would give away your identity and therefore provide me with a chance to find out what you're really all about. Constructive criticism is better than "You're show is terrible. Thank you." Number one: You didn't even capitalize your name (considered when you would like to be taken seriously). Number two: You're very polite in saying thank you (To insult, then thank me for being terrible, or whatever you're directing in that salutation, well, I sense sarcasm). Number 3: Maybe I should try the "brutal" approach to presenting information on this show? Oh, wait. Already happened! Sweeeet. My ratings did go up three points since that last post when I initialized the contact between myself and "brandon"'s comment. Woo who!

    You'll hear it on the show. Coming up soon.

    Show 6: Coming Soon Tonight

    I take criticism well, and I dish it out like an equal opportunity banker. I finally received a note from a guy that just identified himself as Brandon. He says, and I quote word for word, "Your podcast is terrible. Thank you." No, location, no last name, and no suggestions. Ok. I know I'm setting myself up for this one, and he'll say, "I suggest you quit doing your podcast because it is the worst." Ok. Well, that still doesn't help. Who said I was trying to come off as professional? Who even said I was trying to get people to agree with me? You know what I think of this Brandon person. One of two things. He either is one of my many adversaries, or he doesn't like my comment on Trotz. His vague comment still doesn't help solve this mystery either. I can't believe I even wrote a paragraph on his lousy one sentence.

    Show 6, which will air tonight, covers some of the important games over the weekend, and also a topic of interest in the last week. The Calgary Flames. Next show I will discuss the LA Kings and what they have going on from the two trade deals they've made in the last week.

    Thanks Brandon for the motivation to keep going. Oh, and THANKS FOR LISTENING! Ha ha ha

    Show 5: A Weak/Week for Some/All

    After a long week off for a trip home in respects for a friend of my family who has died over last weekend, I'm back to get things started again. Long week in the NHL with many exciting games, and I must warn you that I get pretty into the topic of my final segment in this broadcast. The issue, you will find, is very interesting. I'd like some feedback on it.

    Enjoy!

    Bruce White was an 85 year old friend to my family and many others. He served in World War II, and served on the front lines in the Pacific front, even becoming injured during combat. He was a true patriot to this country and never stopped living life to the fullest. He will truly be missed.
