We need a break from the Pastrnak talk. So, let’s venture around the league.
- Old buddy and former Bruins alternate captain Andrew Ference called it a career yesterday. It wasn’t a surprise because he was on LTIR last season in the last of his four-year deal with the Oilers. Let’s hope he gets a TV gig because he’s good at that.
- Word is that the Carolina Hurricanes will be sold to a former MLB executive Chuck Greenberg, assuring that the team will remain in Raleigh. Turns out the PNC Arena lease is just that favourable to the team that it would be insane to move.
- For whatever reason, Goon 2 never saw theatrical release in the US like it did in Canada in March. It will be have a limited release and be On Demand in the US on September 1 and on DVD in October.
- Will Pittsburgh trade Phil Kessel? Ron Cook of the Pittsburgh-Post Gazette believes it will happen. Basically it involves coaching changes and a high cap hit for the next 5 years.
Anything else you want to talk about?
Why was the voice of Kermit the Frog fired?
http://www.cnbc.com/2017/07/14/fired-voice-of-kermit-the-frog-says-hes-devastated.html
Huh i read one that said he wasnt fired, but left on his own…..now im curious. This came to my attention cause it thought it was Jim Henson’s son that did Kermit’s voice after he died.
This is all new to me. He sounds rather heartbroken about it. I wonder if there was some kind of bad stuff that he was involved in.
His statement does seem to suggest that when he said he failed his mentor.
I blame Jeff Sessions
I thought Bobby Valentine did Kermit’s voice.
Ha ha ha!
I met him once in Newport when I was 16.
You probably heard his voice when he was the Bosox manager. He could definitely be Kermit.
I miss his old bar!!!!
He was in town opening up a Bobby V’s in 1990. I think he was the manager of the Texas Rangers. He and his wife stopped by the shop I worked at. She took a lot of time to try things on and model them for him. He said the appropriate things, nodded, and smiled as she did it, We all know the code. Anyway, the whole time I thought I recognised him but couldn’t place him. It wasn’t until I saw his name on the credit card that I knew. I looked at him, mouth agape, he winked and smiled. He had really nice eyes.
Baseball didn’t happen that season.
Okay, I had my good morn to y’all written, but somehow deleted it. Better luck next week…..wait, maybe this IS the good luck.
We have to piece together the mystery of what it was that was written.
Oh! I remember. I was saying that my knees feel great and we B2Bers (spell check that shit!) need to rent a couple hours of ice somewhere and have some fun!!
Ah, ok!
*cries* goodnight captain planet….you will be forever loved. (Please hire him to Bruins staff).
SIGN YOU PASTA, STOP BEING SELFISH!
Is it pre-season yet?
Is it regular season yet?
I was giving us a break from Pasta!
maybe you were…but im not!
To make room for the tuna!
I watched a Behind the B episode I realised I missed the other day. Took ages to remember who #20 was. Completely forgot Cassidy’s name.
Off-season is too long!!!
Ah, Daniel Paille. I saw him after his last game as a Bruin, one for which he was a healthy scratch. He looked handsome in his suit. Of course, I said something stupid and innocuous to him.
“The Boston Bruins are happy to announce Andrew Ference will be joining the team as the new Recycling Coach.”
He could teach me all about recycling as much as he wants. Just sayin’.
Morning all. Stick taps to Alternate Captain Planet!
