Olympic musings - Ari and his medal
The Olympics have started and except for the opening (which was fucking amazing no matter what) and the Ari Abrahamian deal I haven't really gotten in to the spirit of The Olympics yet.
Swedish wrestler Ari Abrahamian threw away his bronze medal in protest after losing his semi-final.
"Abrahamian was beaten in the 84 kg class by eventual gold medal winner Andrea Minguzzi of Italy but was furious with the verdict, shouting at the referee before confronting the judges.
Oh, and please don't call The Olympics an Olympiad. An Olympiad is the four years inbetween The Olympic Games. I cringe that a lousy blogger like me knows this stuff but the MSM doesn't. I just had to get that out there.
Thank you, thank you very much.

"Abrahamian was beaten in the 84 kg class by eventual gold medal winner Andrea Minguzzi of Italy but was furious with the verdict, shouting at the referee before confronting the judges.
The Athens silver medal winner had to be restrained by teammates and later went on to win a bronze medal match.
But the row continued at the medal ceremony as he only grudgingly mounted the podium and after receiving his medal made a point of taking it off and leaving it in the center of the competition mat.
Swedish fans in the arena disagreed strongly with the original decision, jeering the judges, while coach Leo Myllari also weighed in.
"It's all politics," he said.
The medal was later returned to the sport's governing body."
The opening ceremonies were awesome. It was one of the best opening ceremonies I've seen. And also one of the scariest ceremonies I've seen. That's what you get for running a democracy where people get paid with "The honor of serving your country" instead of food or money or whatever. It's just scary. Nontheless, impressive.Oh, and please don't call The Olympics an Olympiad. An Olympiad is the four years inbetween The Olympic Games.

O'Sullivan to Blues - It Ain't happening.
Hockeybuzz is reporting that the Blues are interested in Patrick O'Sullivan.
"Another hot rumour that I am looking into has the Blues making a serious pitch for Patrick O'Sullivan out of LA. The Kings want an "d-man of equal value."
It ain't happening. The Kings want an "d-man of equal value." That puts the Blues out of it right there. Who do we have except Erik Johnson and Alex Pietrangelo? Eric Brewer? Jay McKee? Barret Jackman?
The Blues aren't trading Johnson or Pietrangelo no matter what comes along. Ok, a superstar for one of them might do the trick. And no offense to Patrick O'Sullivan, but he's not a superstar yet. He could get there, and he probably will, but he's not quite there.
Some people will say that Erik Johnson is no superstar either. And they are correct. But I'm not the only one who sees the enormous potential in him. There's a pretty good chance that he'll turn into a top-tier defensman rather than a Mike Rathje type defensman.
If Johnson's potential was limited to becoming the next Mike Rathje, I'd do the deal as O'sullivan has 70-80 point potential. But if he turns out to be a Niedermayer/Boyle/Zubov-type defensman then I wouldn't do the trade.
Then again, it's fucking Eklund who's reporting this. Why do I even bother?

Thoughts on UFC 87: Search and Destroy - Spoilers
If you haven't seen UFC 87 yet, don't read this post. It contains spoilers.
Here's a NSFA (Not safe for ANYONE!) picture of the oh-so-sexy Bea Arthur so you won't accidentaly read something about the PPV.
Got Milk?
Still here? Good.
I watched the UFC 87 PPV live on pay-per-view with a few friends at a pub tonight. I have a few friends who are die hard hardcore MMA fans, and one of them happens to own a pub here in Stockholm. He knows a few things and to our astonishment he can order PPV's via England here in Sweden.
I was interested in this PPV because of Brock Lesnar.
Got Juice?*
* Actually, I doubt he's juicing since he was born 6'5. 235 lbs. Whatever.
The formerWrestler Sports Entertainer (well EXCUUUUSE MEEEE for calling it wrestling) is giving it a go in the MMA world.
He lost his UFC Debut when due to inexperience he tapped out when Mir applied a kneebar early in the first round.
Brock had learned from his past mistakes in this match as he dominated his opponent Heath Herring. He started the match by landing a punch to Herrings face that was so vicious Herring literally flipped backwards due to the impact. After that Brock was all over Herring dominating him on the mat. He basically sat on Herring the rest of the match, hitting a few punches and some vicious knees to the ribs, but nothing as spectacular as the first punch.
The replay of the first punch reminded me a lot of the superpunch Neo gave Mr. Smith in The third Matrix film. If you ever watch the replay you'll know what I mean.
Although Lesnar failed to finish Herring with a knockout, its scary how much he improved from his debut. He was so patient and in control with his mat performance that I'm sure we're looking at the future UFC Heavyweight Champion. I doubt he'll get a championship match for another year, but when he gets more experience he'll prove everyone who thought the fake wrestler would ridicule the sport wrong.
At the press conference after the match Lesnar actually said that he would have chosen MMA instead of wrestling efter his collegiate wrestling career had UFC been more established by then. He only chose wrestling because his size and athletic abilities would earn him top dollars. Make no mistake, Lesnar is extremely talented and the friggin' speed this huge man has is scary.
Match rating: **3/4

What if...
What if NHL executives and coaches were characters from a Roald Dahl novel? What would they look like?

Scotty Bowman to Chicago, Tambellini to Edmonton
Two things worth mentioning today: Scotty Bowman Joins The Blackhawks, signing a three-year deal to become a senior advisor for Hockey Operations. Can't argue with this signing. Great move (again) by The Hawks. and...
...The Oilers make Bowman looks happy, Kevin Lowe looks not so happy. I'm not sure why this move was made but it seems a bit odd to say the least. I have no idea what's been going on behind the scenes in Edmonton but from what Ive read over at a few blogs neither to Oilers-fans. It's 4.46 AM in Sweden so I'll update more during the day.
UPDATE: I still have no idea what the hell just happened in Edmonton. But their current setup looks a lot like the Blues setup right now with John Davidson/Pleau/Armstrong. Pleau and Armstrong are the GM's, but Davidson is at the top of the hierarchy. Other than that I'm at a loss for words. It could work.

I don't hate Canadians. Really, I don't.
Someone who's REALLY REALLY pissed of at me right now sent me an e-mail basically telling me I'm useless and can't write etc etc. I won't publish the e-mail because I'm sure he has a point.
He told me that he visited my site by doing a google search, and then he visited this cache of one of my drafts. I didn't know Blogger did that? That kinda sucks.
The unfinished post was all about that stupid Kopitar/Chicago/Ottawa trade "rumor" that surfaced recently. Here's an example of what I wrote:
Remember when Alexander Ovechkin signed his contract extension? In one day two and a half million comments on TSN read like this:
"Nooooo!! Why don't you sign wehre you love to play betterer instead? :( *cries*"
I got news for you pal! If he loves to play betterer in Montreal, why sign with Washington?
"I get really angry when I read shit like that.
At least fans in Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver know their hockey better than fans of the other big three.
Maybe there's a reason why French Canadians sound mongoloid when they speak..."
The thing about this post is, it wasn't supposed to end like it did. I was going to add some trade proposals of my own, making me look like the bigger jerk for thrashing the MSM, but in the end I'm just as bad.
That was the whole point of the post. I honestly had no idea that you could find peoples unpublished drafts via Google's cache. I've sent Blogger an e-mail regarding the issue.
There you go. I don't hate Canadians, although people think so. Google Bergman Shoots & Scores
and you'll see for yourselves.
I'll be seeing you.

Foot washes up in Sweden - Foppa to announce retirement
Courtesy of The Province:
"The Local, Sweden's news in English, is reporting that a man's foot has washed up on the seashore in southern Sweden.
My first reaction was that Peter Forsberg finally snapped at his foot and figured "Hey, It can't get any worse now can it? I've heard that research in the fields of Cyborgs have come a long way".
Either that or one of them neverending mysteries of the universe has been solved. The skating of Tomas Holmström & Ray Sheppard. Those two guys really must be the worst skaters in the history of hockey. But I'm a fan of both, so here's to you for having great careers!
I know I promised you a post about the free agenzy frenzy. It's coming. I'm going through one division at a time. It's a bit more difficult than I thought. And I don't want to burn out once again [Drama Queen Bergman] like I did the last time I blogged fulltime. I'm easing myself back to business.
I've been looking through a lot of old posts lately, trying to get my shit back together. I found these that I totally forgot about. Let it burn your eyes. :)
And finally, my take on a third jersey for the Carolina Hurricanes. I got a lot of love for that one.
From Stockholm Sweden, I'm Peter Forsbergs left foot.
"The Local, Sweden's news in English, is reporting that a man's foot has washed up on the seashore in southern Sweden.
The foot was discovered Tuesday by lifeguards in the water in Tylösand in Halmstad, south-western Sweden, and local authorities are saying it's too early to link the discovery to the five feet that have washed up along the Georgia Strait.
"They had seen the shoe yesterday, sploshing around at the water's edge," said Joakim Sjölander, spokesman for police in Halland county.
The foot has been sent to a laboratory near Lund for forensic tests. DNA from the foot is to be compared to DNA from people who have gone missing in the area."My first reaction was that Peter Forsberg finally snapped at his foot and figured "Hey, It can't get any worse now can it?

Blues sign Steve Bernier to offer sheet - BWAHAHAHAHAHA
I honestly laughed out loud when I read this over at Stlouisblues.com:
"ST. LOUIS – St. Louis Blues President John Davidson announced today that the club has signed Group II free agent forward Steve Bernier to an offer sheet worth $2.5 million for next season. The Canucks will have seven days to match the offer or receive St. Louis’ 2nd round draft choice in 2009."
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHA
HAAAAAHAAAAAAAAA
AHAHAHAHAHAAA

HAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Burke and Lowe, kneel before Larry Pleau and JD "John Davidson". Now that's how you make someone look silly. With a sense of humour.
I'm still laughing as I'm writing this.
From Stockholm Sweden, this is BWAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA

Blues sign Jagr.
Lousy Gimpjob (although his hair really looked like that). I'd totally digg that if it were to happen.*
I love this "new" management and their plan for the future of this franchise. For once, we have a regime who (so far) has stayed the course. They are serious about building through the draft and have made some great picks, especially this year. Jori Lehtera 65th and Kristoffer Berglund 125th!? They really fell that far? Come on! You've got to be kidding me (I've actually seen these two play maybe twelve times in total this year and they've got what it takes. In my humble opinion these two players will surprise a lot of people in a few years).
I'm thrilled that they haven't offered George Laraques and Bea Arthur 23-year deals worth $6 million annually and stayed out of the insanity.
But if they could sign Jagr to a two year deal worth around $4.5-5 million a year (assuming he'd want to play here) would be totally worth it. It'd bring even more fans to the seats and at that prize and length it won't be too much of a burden.
It's wishful thinking I know, but it's fun to have unrealistic dreams. Come on! I'm a blues fan fer f's sake! And btw, I AM a more informed fan than those people who make trade proposals over at HFboards (who are those people anyway? Drunken shaolin-midgets?).
The Insanity is still happening around us, so for the umpteenth time, A full analysis of the Great Free Agent Frenzy will come. Perhaps tomorrow or the day after.
Power To The Players!
*Yeah, I'm a dick. I'm sorry.
** Oh, and what's up with Gimp? And Linux? And whats A GNU Manipulation program? Cheap Photoshop-ripoff average motherfuckers. It's shit I tell you! Long Live Vista!!

The Blue Jackets look good on defense.
Ok. Another post. I've calmed down a bit.
I apologize for my rusty English, it's been a while since I wrote in your language. I've never been the best, but I've beem better than I am now. It'll come back to me eventually.
Just read that The Blue Jackets traded Nikolai Zherdev and Dan Fritsche to the Rangers for Fedor Tyutin and Christian Bäckman. I would say this trade makes The Blue Jackets one of the better teams one-to-five on defense in the West.
In no particular order, their D looks like this: Rostislav Kiesla, Mike Commodore, Fedor Tyutin, Christian Bäckman and Jan Hejda. That's a pretty darn good defense if you as me. While they're missing a true number 1 defenseman, they have five 2nd or 3rd defensemen. Outside the top five there's Kris Russell, O.K Tollefsen and Aaron Rome. This, and Hitchcock behind the bench looks promising.
Some people complain about the fact that Zherdev is one of The Jackets true offensive players. While I agree with that, it's not like they don't have a shitload of forward prospects.
How about Jakub Voracek, Nikita Filatov, Derick Brassard, Adam Pineault & Stefan Legein? I'm sure at least one of these players will pick up the slack next year.
In my opinion the Blue Jackets won this trade, although The Rangers never really lost anything.
They won less? Good trade for both teams.

F**k You Red Wings. Old rich white men and their definition of financial restraint, Part Two
Yeah, I know. Bad Photoshop skills. Wrong number.But I'm depressed. Leave me alone!
F**k!
Goddamit!
This just in: The Red Wings sign Marian Hossa to a one year deal worth $7.4 million. The great just got even greater.
Look, I'm a Blues fan alrite? I friggin' loathe the Red Wings. They always beat us in the playoffs and they always win the Norris Division year after year. How many years have they won this damn thing now? (I'm sure they won it ten years in a row before Dave Andreychuk was drafted in 1992).
I used to call them The Rangers West* because they used to buy their way to The Cup pre-lockout. Ok, Shallow argument I know. But I'm upset okay? Leave me alone! But nowadays I have to admit that they're doing a great job of putting out a winning team year after year after year.
But fuck! Marian Hossa? A Red Wing?
And if there's one organization that won't buckle under the pressure it's the Red Wings.
:(
I hate it.
The real Free Agent Frenzy post will be up tomorrow. I need to go and drink moonshine or whatever right now.

Old rich white men and their definition of financial restraint, Part One
Image by Foil over at The NEOGaf boards.
Man, what a great first day of free agenzy!
I loved every second of it. Sure, the universe is about to implode and the enddate of the world according to the mayan calendar got pushed forward by about four years, but who cares? I love reading about old rich white men and their definition of financial restraint (and we were somehow surprised over the whole Enron thing?).
As of right now, I loved that we had a lockout and In the future I'm rooting for the NHLPA, like OMG forevva and evar!
Power to the people, thats all I'm saying right now.
A bigger and better post will be up tomorrow.

Oil and Lube belong together.
The Edmonton Oilers aquired Lubomir Visnovsky from The Kings for Matt Greene and Jarret Stoll.
Who's The Lube married to? Will he last more than a year in Edmonton? I have no idea.
What will this mean for The Oilers? What will this mean for The Kings? What will this mean for me? Am I back?
Looks like a pretty decent trade for both teams. Edmonton gets a potential franchise defenseman, The Kings dump Visnovsky's monster five-year contract that kicks in this season. Five years at 7.0, 7.0, 6.0, 5.0 and 3.0 for a cap hit of 5.6 million a year.
Oh never mind. I'm an uninformed foo'.
Here are the rules regarding NTC's . Section 11.8 -a, of the CBA.
If the Player is Traded or claimed on Waivers prior to the no-Trade or no-move clause taking effect, the clause does not bind the acquiring Club. An acquiring Club may agree to continue to be bound by the no-Trade or no-move clause, which agreement shall be evidenced in writing to the Player, Central Registry and the NHLPA, in accordance with Exhibit 3 hereof.
Cool.
Oh yeah, the Kings get Stoll and Greene. Meh. I guess that means Brad Stuart isn't coming back to LA. I presume Greene will fill his shoes/skates next year. Stoll used to be good but from what I hear he's been injured in the past. Stoll's a Restricted Free Agent this year.
I wonder what Kevin Lowe will get for Pitkänen? Mike Santorelli and Craig Switzer from Nashville? Jori Lehtera from The Blues? Gilbert Brule and Jared Boll from Columbus?
(I'm just making these trades up Garrioch, don't quote me as an unnamed source mmkay?).. ()?)
What if.. And this is just pure speculation (SPECULATION, YOU HEAR ME GARRIOCH!?): What if Lombardi has his eyes on Wade Redden. I know I'd rather have.. oh I don't know.. Wade Redden? for $5-6.5 million a year for the next five years than what I'd be paying Lube.

Pittsburgh - Ottawa Game 3 - Liveblogging Part I.
I'm watching the Pittsburgh - Ottawa Game 3 on Espn360 last night. At least it started great!
*The Opening show: A gladiator comes out and says that tonight The Sens shall win! Tacky as hell, but I get the idea behind it and its a cool unusual thing. Too bad their timing sucks. Just as the gladiator is about to hit the big crescendo, him screaming: HEEEREEEE'S YOUR OOOTTAWWWAAAAA SEEENATOOORSS!!! - cue crowds roaring... the Penguins enter the ice and the crowd boos them.
Comedy requires perfect timing, so this was pure comedic gold.
Then comes the The National Anthem: The speaker tells the crows to "please remove your hats and stand up for the national anthem."
And then this guys sings the national anthem...
...wearing a hat. BWAHAHAHAHAHHAAAA! :)
I'm loving every second of this so far. :D
Monty Python and The Flying Scotiabank Circus.
*Game time! Alfie plays tonight.
*Talbot runs into Gerber! The sens look like they will take a retaliatory penalty, no? It's close but they don't.
*Damn. I always get hungry watching games on Espn360. Is that all you North americans do? Eat?... And drink beer... And buy insurance?
They're showing images of Laraque practising his uppercuts before the game..
Seriously? I wish I could come up with a comedic script like this.
*The Senators are really going hard against Gonchar during the first nine minutes of the game. Good strategy by The Sens.
*Shots: 11-8 so far with 10 minutes to go. Where did the eight Penguins shot come from? The Sens are all over the place so far.
*Malkin sure likes to.. uhm.. Have things in his mouth? During the national anthem he was chewing on his jersey. Three minutes later he was chewing on his gold chain. Now with 8.35 left he's chewing his jersey again. And let's just say that his teeth are representative of Russian Dentalcare (TM). Damn those teeth are crooked.
12.30 ** The Sens are staring to go after Ruutu and Talbot instead of playing their game. Everytime Ruutu is one the ice is a Senators penalty waiting to happen.
14.30 ** Canada still has the little blinking square that signals when another show is on on another channel? I thought that "feature" went out the door when VHS won the war against those pesky BETA tapes.
* Commercial Brake: Poor Mr Carducci.
*More images of Laraque working out before the game. Now hes jumping rope.
Is Rocky Laraque being filmed in Ottawa?
*Ottawa Power Play. Shean Donovan loses his stick and grabs... Ruutus stick. Bad penalty.
*Gerber robs Crosby and Malone! He's the difference maker so far. The pens are now dominating like they did for 3/4 of game 2. In game to they did it 5 on 5 though. I guess that's progress for Ottawa, no?
* End of The First period. Fuck, I'm out of cigarettes.

I came to this conclusion by staging my own NHL Stanley Cup Playoff Prediction Lottery. I made two notes that said H (home team) and A (away team) and then another four notes with 4-0, 4-1, 4-2 and 4-3 written on them.
If I drew a note with an H on it, the highest seeded team in their respective matchups would come out on top.
You cant argue with fate now can you? Everything happens for a reason.
