A blast from the past, or, Kristin's dreams come true

le petit briere
Yup, he is the one I secretly cheer for. I'm pretty sure it's because I wish he played for us, but even when his team is kicking our arse, I kinda hope for him to score. And with 3 goals (2 gwg) and 4 assists in three games vs. the Flyers, he does like to score against us.
I think I like the fact that he makes Esche look so bad too. Eschy has got to go and Briere can only help make that departure happen faster.
Oh my god, why am I telling you this? I am such a traitor...I feel so guilty!
Thanks Marty!
From the Philadelphia Inquirer:
How cute! He was afraid we weren't going to call him! Aww!
About 10 teams inquired about him, and some offered a higher annual salary over a shorter term, Briere said.
"In the past few weeks, every time I was thinking about it, for some reason Philly always came up at the top of my list," the center said. "I don't know how to explain it. There is a lot going for Philly. . . . I was a little afraid the last few days [that] they would not call or be interested in me."
He credited goalie Martin Biron for selling him on the Flyers.
"I'm very happy for him," said Biron, who was Briere's roommate in Buffalo. "This is another piece that makes our whole team better. Danny is a great player. He makes everyone around him better. He will be a great fit."

I am so getting an iPhone. I'm an early adopter, don't you know?
I know this is not hockey related in any way, but I am going to get an iPhone. From the moment I saw it introduced in the keynote address back in whatever month that was, I have longed for it. And yes, I sat there and watched the entire 2 hour presentation on it! Drooling!
So tomorrow, on my one day off this week, I will make the trek to my local Apple store and plunk down a hell of a lot of money for this fantastic little gadget. Although, by proclaiming my plan, I am sure I will totally jinx it and they will be all out of them.
I'll keep you posted.
And thanks to Apple and AT&T for finally releasing what the service plans will be. A girl needs to know these things before she gets to the store. And thanks too for letting me activate it at home using iTunes. What? Yep, the future has arrived and we can activate our phones through our computers!

July 1st better get here quick!
Is there any period of time in the season that is more boring than this week between the draft and free agency? Even the NHL and TSN websites are still serving up day old draft news like leftover turkey.
So I am fast forwarding through Daily News Live today, and strangely enough, they actually have a hockey segment (rare). So I watch it of course.
These guys were working with air, filament and pixie dust to talk about the Flyers for ten minutes. They had nothing! We know what all the speculation is already! If you don't have any actual news to report, I don't need to see this segment! And ten minutes? Unnecessary. I bet they won't even do ten minutes on July 1st!
I normally love Al Morganti and the gang, but Al was utterly inarticulate. Although he did have a good one liner when asked, "what state are the Flyers in right now?" and he answered "Pennsylvania." But that was the highlight, honest to god. That, and he got his hair cut and looks 4.5 years younger. But I digress...
It must have been a slow news day for the Phillies and the Eagles I guess...

I hope we don't have to call him "the reamer"
Well, we picked our guy. I have a few concerns:
1) He had trouble putting his jersey on. Now I'm no expert at putting on a hockey jersey, but to me, you put one arm in, the other arm in, and then pop your head through the head hole. This character tried to put it on all at once and ended up all tangled up and gangly looking. Sheesh. Put it on like you've done it before buddy!
2) I heard one news organization call him "the reamer". Um, sorry, but I am pretty sure that nickname is taken by a porn star. Choose again.
3) He is from New Jersey, and is a Devils fan. Can he be trusted?
4) Not entirely related, but does Flyers' GM Paul Holmgren have a pulse? I'm down with the poker face guy, but cmon, get a little excited about stuff! (Great job in the offseason so far, btw!)

Danny Boy! You can't help but love him! But I pray daily that we can keep him and Drury next year. I heard that the Flyers are willing to empty the bank for either him or Drury (or was that another team?). It would just bo to weird to play the Flyers with both Biron and Briere...!
It sounds like Esche is on his way out with Biron moving into Flyers Land.
In order for Esche to move somewhere, someone would have to want him first!
And yes, they would break the bank to get Briere (fingers crossed).
I'll be surprised if Danny goes to Philly and SHOCKED if Chris goes there. Danny wants some stability but Chris wants to win and while I think Philly has some potential I think it might take them a few years to get there yet. We'll see though. This could just be my desire to a) Keep Danny and Chris b) Not see any more of my boys in Flyers' colors. (Sorry, Flyers fans. You know how it goes.)
