You beat me to it by seconds. Shane O'Brien and Oulette to the Canucks for...Lukas Krajicek and right wing Juraj Simek.

Barf the magic dragon, what the hell are the Canucks doing!!?

I think it's more what the hell is Tampa doing?

Spezza "has a pension" for giveaways? I actually tried to correct him once, telling him that "alot" is two words. Didn't do it in a mean way or anything. He continues to us it to this day, and it's one of his favorite "expressions".

I understand and don't really mind when someone makes a typo or a spelling mistake. But if someone points it out to you, at least learn from it. My thesis supervisor corrected my draft copy and, apart from the usual pointers on content, there was one glaring error -- irregardless. I have *never* used that since that one time being called out for it, and you'd better believe I spot it immediately when I see or hear it used by someone else.

Just don't go using long or uncommon words or phrases unless you know how. Like "a birth in the playoffs" or the aforementioned "pension for giveaways".

Those HB bloggers are a little sensitive about their bad grammar, presumably because none of them have any background in writing. I think I reduced the BUF blogger, Garth, to tears over there when I told him that his writing lacks professionalism and his cheesy puns are more stale than the 3-year-old bag of plain chips sitting in my cupboard.
