Around SBN: Jeremy Lin's Game-Winner Was Incredible, Worth Remembering

UFA day is tomorrow!

Can you believe it?  Now we're never really a source for breaking news here at BoC, but I'll be around tomorrow with a randomly-updated post of prominent signings, focusing mostly on BoC teams.  It could get somewhat exciting, or maybe it's just another NHL draft.  :)

Here's your Sleek-endorsed resources for the next couple of days:

Feel free to add your favorite sites or your UFA theories in the comments.

Now I do have to confess that I've been a somewhat lazy blogger (gasp!  I know) -- I still haven't bought myself a new laptop, nor have I figured out how to get my old scanner to communicate with my sister's borrowed MacBook.  And rather than going ahead and resolving either of those two issues this morning, I instead found a third least-useful way to celebrate this offseason's UFA day -- iPhone-camera action-figure posing nonsense!  Hooray for short-term thinking!

I really don't know what UFA options the Ducks, Kings, or Sharks will be considering in the coming days, so instead we'll just go find out what sort of weird toys Sleek has sitting around his place.

The Duck, King, and Shark assemble to go over this year's free agent class:

You know, in certain ways, this was way harder to do than my old cartooning method.  I guess it wasn't too bad, though -- I could sort of mass-produce them.  But yeah -- I'll get that on that scanner thing.  :)

Go Ducks.

For sure — can we trade B-Ry for Mikko Koivu to make sure he re-signs? Or at least start a baseless internet rumor?

If your baseless rumor doesn’t have Toronto in it, it won’t get clicks.

Ram Man has been a keeper since I was a kid, I think — his spring is shot from his legs, though, so he can’t jump. Mostly he just sits in an angry squat.

Ducks buy out Oystrick:

After he cleared waivers, the Ducks bought out the contract of defenseman Nathan Oystrick. His salary for 2010-11 was 550K and he will be paid 2/3 of that amount, spread over two years (approximately 366K in total, 183k each of the next two years).

Oh well, not that expensive — so long Oystrick.

So I’m on my lunch break right now, and might I say, this is fantastic.

No actual analysis or suggestions, just a disclaimer of “maybe I’ll post something good tomorrow”, followed by a grown man posting pictures of his toys.

I love this blog.
