How did I know?

Well how did I know that the Habs might do something stupid? At the trade deadline they traded away their main goaltender for a 2nd round draft pick! Christobal Huet was traded, no...... given away, you think that the Habs could have made a better deal somewhere. i know this deal is a money thing in the fact that it frees up cap space for next year and Huet will be a free agent at the end of this season but couldn't you hang on to him a little longer then trade in the summer. Even if you let him go for nothing in summer whats the difference between today? A second round draft pick who may not be ready to play for 3-4 years.

All in all I don't like this trade. you think they could have at least got a player who ready to play now, or got 5 or 6 draft picks. Maybe a first rounder. carey Price may be a star i future but how is the 20 year going to deal with the pressure of making the playoffs and then the playoffs themselves in Montreal?

Time will tell

What happened to Toyota in the off season?

So what did Toyota do in the off season? Wholy crap, this year Tony Stewart and his new teammate Kyle Busch finished the Nationwise series race at Daytona (formerly the Busch series) in the first and second spots for Joe Gibbs racing in new Toyota Camry race cars. And Michael Waltrip gets to start on the front row of the Daytona 500 in a Toyota Camry. Looks like Toyota has gotten their homework done with their entries into the NASCAR Sprint series and Nationwise series. They have have already been proven winners in the Craftsman truck series, so now I guess its time that they finally caught up. Seems like the Toyota race cars have a whole lot more horsepower than last year.
Congrats Toyota!

NHRA, and where the hell is my NHRA broadcast on TSN

Well as I waited all week to watch the season opener of the NHRA Winterneationals on TSN (tape delayed) I find taht all the Canadain sports networks we have are showing the Roger Clemens hearings about Steroids. Although this may be a serious offence but hell, they are all doing it, so where the hell is my NHRA drag racin gcoverage and when are you going to show it then?
All I can watch is what was on news websites and youtube about Tony Pedregon's crash. Although Tony is ok he had 2nd degree burns.

And the other alternative is to watch the Daytona 500 practice sessions on SpeedTV but they have been on and off today because of rain!
