How’s She Goin, Eh?

It’s Wednesday and I am slowly getting back to feeling somewhat ok after the wedding of Chris & Amy. What a shindig!! As the Ref mentioned, all of GoonSqaud was in attendance for a fantastic event. Some of the highlights include:

• The Hammer greeting me at the entrance with beer in hand
• The small bird bath (ok – maybe it was a pool) that developed on the ground below Chris from the sweat dripping off of his head as he awaited the arrival of his bride
• The Ref sporting a swanky new corduroy blazer in 80+ degree weather (he’s from the motherland eh, what do you expect?)
• Sitting with Chris’s co-workers and telling them some great stories about Chris (sorry about that kid, maybe it was the booze talking, but if you get fired on Monday it’s really not my fault)
• Taz exiting the port-o-potty chewing on the white mint

I wish you both the best as you navigate through life as Mr. & Mrs. you definitely married up Chris, nice work!

I wanted to share with you a brief update on my summer vacation as I have neglected this site for far too long. I played a lot of golf, drank a lot of beer, hit the ice a few times, picked up new skates and a stick, chased the Million Dollar Babies all over creation and watched my grass go from the envy of the neighborhood to the Mojave Desert as we have had zero rain in the Northeast. All in all the summer of 2007 was a good one and I hope all of you enjoyed yours as well.

Did you hear the news??? Cam Neely is employed again by the Boston Bruins. Unfortunately, he won’t be seen flying down the right wing unloading a boomer top shelf or lowering his shoulder as he blasts an opponent off the puck in the corner. Nope, Cam is now the Vice President of the Bruins. I love Cam for the player he was, his involvement within the community off the ice both during his playing days as well as after and his drive to be the best at what he does.

The B’s are screwed as long as Jeremy and his smarty pants son Charley Jacobs are at the helm. Peter Chiarelli is a dead man walking this season. If the B’s stumble out of the gate (which they will), it will be Peter who will take the fall. How can Cam make an impact on this team while working directly with dead man walking and smarty pants? I don’t see it happening this season but I am very optimistic that he can make an impact down the road.

You can hear it in his voice when he made the press rounds yesterday. He is clearly upset at the current state of the Bruins and wants them to improve. Will it happen this year? Not a snowballs chance in hell. As a B’s fan, I must say that this is a solid organizational move and one that I hope will pan out. If it doesn’t, oh well they’ve sucked the past 15 years what’s another 15? I still have the Pats and Sox kicking ass.
