What the . . . ?

Wait a second? What the hell is going on? Are you kidding me? Can't a guy go off the grid in rural Siberia without his favourite hockey team getting totally gutted? I mean really, how hard would it have been to bring back D-Vo? And where is Ullie? Sammy? The Testes of Filth? Georges? Is there anyone with any comedic features even left on this team?

And I've been replaced? By Grabia? And he is getting favourable reviews? I don't know where to start.

I'm finally back in the big city of Irkutsk; but I'll be under the shadow of Vladimir Illyich for a while yet. One thing's for certain, though -- when I get back to E-town, somebody's getting a cabezazo.

At least Fenwick still hates the CBA.

You know, at the time it seemed like Sacamano was leaving at the worst possible moment. Turns out the bastard got the Good Parts Version of the season.
 


Is it true the RSL training camps are already underway? THAT is the best thing I've ever heard about Russia.
 


Could you do us all a favour and smuggle Mikhnov in your luggage on your way back?
 


I would be willing to chip in some money, say $200, for you to smuggle Mikhnov. $300 if you video documented it. That could make for interesting cinema.
 


The Testes of Filth?

Wow. That's quite something.

I think you should slap an Oilers jersey on ol' Vlady.
 


Wasn't there already a discussion about smuggling Russian players and remembering to put airholes or something? Any way, I'm going for the other tactic: Marry him off to an Edmontonian girl. He'll be like a Russian mail order husband. I'll even help put a singles profile for him.
 


Humourous but too bad it's a contract problem not an immigration issue, he'd get a work permit lickity split if he got out of his contract with Yaroslav.
 


Ah, I should've considered that rather than be overwhelmed by my new enterprise in Russian mail order Hockey playing husbands.

But if he does find a way, you need to assure that he *cough* doesn't bolt. Therefore he still requires a nice wife that keeps the pantry full of potatoes or whatnot to keep him happy.

Or you could stick him in a harp case with some vodka bottles, poke some holes through it and ship him over. People get suspicious of guys in airports with big man sized cases.

Nonetheless he still deserves a singles profile.

The love makes me teary-eyed.

And until you read this, you probably didn't know that the Celtics traded the 7th overall pick in the draft for a 5'11 point guard with no jumpshot. Just a rough summer all around, hey?
 


Malkin is staying in Russia.
 


Let me be the one to start the debate on whether or not the Oil should sign J.P. Dumont. I say offer hims $3 mil a year for two years, then you can put together a second line of Pisani-Lupul-Dumont, dropping Stolli to the third line, and giving them three solid scoring lines.
