If I may get up on my soap box for a minute, I’d like to get a little Patriotic on everyone. This will have very little to do with fights, so if that’s all you’re into move on. If not read on. There are three important things I want to discuss.
First. I would like to say congratulations to our own Dave. Dave as you know is a proud Ameridan. That’s American and Canadian. Dave is Canadian by birth, but took the time and effort to become an American citizen. In a time when a lot of people are embarrassed to say they are American because of some of our policies, Dave has decided to stand among us, and pledge his allegiance to this great nation. I am happy he did it, and very proud of him for doing it. Now, start paying taxes.
How fitting Dave would become an American Citizen this week. By the way, can anyone type Citizen, or say Citizen without hearing Fitzy from the Departed saying what are you? Fucking retarded? Me neither. Anyway. Today, November 10th, is the 232nd Birthday of the world’s original enforcers, the Unites States Marine Corps. I plan to celebrate even though I have a wicked cold by getting into my Johnnie Walker Blue. One for me, one for the Corps, and one for the Commandant. Red Thunder and any other Marines out there, Happy Birthday. Semper Fi!
Lastly, Sunday is Veteran’s Day. No matter what uniform you wear or have worn, I am grateful to any and all service men and women everywhere. It is because of people like you defending our freedom that I can open my notebook and spout of the silly ramblings usually found in these posts. If you are in harm’s way, please keep your head down, and come home safe. Should you happen across anyone in uniform this weekend, please take a minute to shake their hand and say thanks. I know I will.
Good work Dave, it is nice to see that some people still use the real process in becoming a citizen instead of crying till someone gives them a license and a welfare check.
Happy Birthday to all the World Enforcers out there and I celebrated your birthday with some Buillet Bourbon last night.
If you enjoy freedom thank a Marine
Thanx for the mention Bro. I saw you on myspace yesterday and thought I would toss the idea (which I’m sure you already had) to you so it could be thrown high into the air like you did, for everyone to see. Salute to those, and those who honor those. Semper Fi.
I see Bergie is out for the season. Killer, what should they do with the 4.75 million they saved?
where did u see that KSpecial?
His agent said it and the Bruins put him on “long term” IR which means they can use his 4.75 million in salary in another player.
Source????
My source is NESN Sports Desk fella. Hazel Bombs Away Mae!!!
I have yet to see that “breaking news” report anywhere.
Georges Laraque has 1 fighting major to date.
Not sure he’s out all year. He is out indefinately, and as such under the CBA, they can take his salary off the books, and sign someone else. They have to again get back under the cap upon his return.
See Killer, Chris knows whats up. Also his agent said he was most likely done for this season.
Did u have drinks with his agent at the pickel palace last week?
You know it. I am working on a deal to replace Bergie for 1/5th the price. Jacobs wants 20 goals per year and to save alot of loot!!!!
Some clarity about the status of Bergie:

Just as I stated before. When is the Goon blog gonna start listening to K Specials deep NHL knowledge. I broke this to you guys earlier this week.
Thanks for the kind wishes Chris and Hammer. I have been an American for a little over a week, and I’ve already downloaded Toby Keith’s entire discography.
Somewhere KSpecial is soiling his panties as his new binky Tuuka Rask will make his NHL debut tonight against the team that drafted him in 2005.
Killer you are 100% correct. left work early, stopped and got some Smithwicks and sat in front of my 42 plasma last night to get a glimpse of Rask. He was very solid. He tends to go down a little early for my taste but over all he looked very strong. Waive Manny and start Rask!!!!!
I saw the last 11 minutes of the 3rd, but have seen him twice in Lowell. I am impressed.
Why are they not starting Rask today. Ride the hot goalie!!!!!
