sunday feedback: all*

last week's sunday feedback poll proved that people just don't like marc crawford on hockey night in canada. he was the poll winner (loser ???) with a whopping 68% of voters choosing him as their least-favorite guy on the saturday night show. i honestly thought pj stock would give him a run for his money, but he only tallied 14% --probably cause he's such a cute, excitable little guy... more people, apparently, like don cherry than they detest him (11%), leaving craig simpson and "other" (mike milbury, it seems) to clean up the poll's scraps (2% of voters). there were more voters last week than in prior weeks [unless you chumps are voting twice], and i hope that continues. polls are fun.

the gio jersey took home a win on its first outing (thank god) against the blue jackets. i would've ridden that jersey to a win eventually, even if it caused a calgary flames losing skid, so it was nice to get that first W out of the way, right off the bat...

i've been working a ton in the past few weeks, so i don't have a whole lot to write about. this little gem showed up in the trashtalk of my hockey pool on friday, however, and i thought i'd share it:

One of my volunteers works at a trendy and over-priced shoe store on 17th. A few weeks ago, Bertuzzi comes in to buy some shoes. Nothing really remarkable about the exchange - quiet, just half-grunted when the volunteer mentioned that the last goal he scored was pretty sweet, give me my shoes and I will be on my way, thank you very much.

What was remarkable and may create debate on what Todd does away from the rink were his pants. Bert was wearing sparkly jeans. Not the rhinestone ones - that would be a fucking abomination - but shiny, silvery pants. Ones that when they caught the light, reflected like broken glass (kinda like when teens smash a bus shelter and that glass shines there on the pavement).

Pants that some groupie would buy Tommy Lee in '89 were worn by Bert. Pants covered in thousands of tiny disco balls were worn by Bert. Pants that Jett Thunders would love to have but cannot afford because they are probably $500 jeans were worn by Bert.

Time you will never get back.

also totally unimportant but kindof amusing is the fact that "brandon prust +6" apparently appeared on the guestlist for theory of a deadman's show at flames central on friday night...

well, a week without hockey is like a week without sunshine, and i don't count the allstar game, superskills competition or youngstars game as "hockey." they are more like performance art... anyhow, i just can't wait till we get to go back to seasonal play when the flames meet the sabres on wednesday...

but since we're stuck in allstar week limbo, here's your sunday feedback poll:
