slow news day notes for bored blog readers

- warrener and eriksson (and lundmark) cleared waivers today, and i fully expect an announcement before 3pm EST tomorrow describing where they're headed. i presume they will all go to the QC but i admit i think it's possible anders will head back overseas somewhere. i still haven't figured out what scenario would have any european hockey team looking for a guy like bubba, however....

- the vinyl trees have a gig in oakland california on october 10th. presumeably this means that mark smith has come to terms with not being signed to an NHL team and is thus focussing on his didjeridoo playing.

- the telus guy informed me today that dion phaneuf is dating elisha cuthbert. it's apparently been confirmed...

- sean avery had some interesting things to say in his interview with my boy strombo on the hour the other night. also interesting is how much he plays with his face. additionally interesting (albeit much less so) is that strombo calls him a "shitdisturber" on national public television.... it's a good watch, though... avery quotes include: "i'm really not an asshole... all the time," and (re: don cherry) "he really does not know shit about hockey."

- big news upcoming on hitthepost.... i figure it'll drop pre-game on thursday... :) check back soon for more !!!!
