After a bunch of vacation and, frankly, a bit of laziness, there hasn’t been a drinking game in a while. Yes, that’s right, I’ve been too lazy to drink. Pretty incredible, if I do say so myself. But before we get to that, be sure to follow me on Twitter! I finally made the jump to 2010, and I’m a regular Bill Simmons on that sumbitch. @victoriawxtimes. I promise at least one STD joke a week!
Since I have been on there, I have really enjoyed the constant NHL updates. @Russostrib is priceless and invaluable, two words that actually mean about the same thing. Today, EJ Hradek spent the evening, uh, talking about college football. Listen to me prattle on and on about Twitter, when all you want is to drink!
Good thing there is alcohol, if Versus is really going to go through with a nationally televised game between the Stars (8th in the west) and ‘Canes (9th in the East). But still, it’s more or less enjoyable to have a chance to watch a team that you never get to see, rather than recycling the same jokes about the Flyers every week. Let’s try and stir up some Stars/Canes jokes.

… If announcers accidentally call Jamie McBain “Rainier Wolfcastle
… If you hear from Dave
… to dull your senses, because your mind is about to be blown. Loui Eriksson is the best Swedish player in the NHL since 2008 not named “Sedin”. By the way, the Sedins? Still creepy.
… when you realize the primary reason hockey remains successful in Texas. Sorry, errant hyperlink. It’s successful because Texans love Brendan Morrow!
The Versus Drinking Player of the Week: Sergei Samsonov
As with every week, we will let Talk-Sports.net fill us in on all there is to know about Mr. Samsonov.
– Accroding to an anonymous user, he is a cutie. According to the Enforcer, he looks like a grown up Elroy Jetson.
– He has been married for 10-12 years, and has a pair of daughters, a fact which one anonymous user absolutely does not care. Anonymous commentors on Talk-Sports are the purest form of intellect perhaps in the world.
– Montreal fans (who commented two years ago) feel that Samsonov has a “rat face” and should go back to Russia. So there’s that.
