Hamu Selännlet: A Finnish Soliloquy

Whether 'tis nobler on the ice to suffer
The pains and injuries of another season,
Or to battle through a slew of defenders,
And by scoring defeat them? Or to retire: to skate
No more; and with a tearful announcement end
The body-aches and the thousand bruises
That hockey delivers, 'tis a tempting option
Definitely to be ponder’d. To retire, to rest;
To relax: perchance to golf: ay, there's the rub;
When we have fired that last wrist shot
Must give us pause: there is a reason
That players pursue so long a career;
For who would bear all the hooks and grabs,
The defenders’ checks, the goaltender’s pads,
The era of the dead puck, the video review,
The east coast bias, and the surgeries and rehabs,
That constant tolling the body takes,
When he could flush all that bullshit away
With a mere announcement? who would train,
To grunt and sweat throughout the offseason,
Except for the terror of Life After Hockey,
That undiscover'd future from whose grip
No Niedermayer returns twice, panics the will
And makes us rather suffer those pains of playing
Than opt for a career we know not of?
Thus the "R" word does make cowards of us all;
And thus the seemingly brave decision to play
Is sicklied o'er with the fear of the unknown,
And even seasons of great scoring totals,
With this in mind, their temptations turn awry,
And we lose the ability to decide. - Wait you now!
My fair Duck fans! Anaheim, in thy anxious impatience
Be all my goals remember'd.
:) Go Shakespeare.

“Othello” is the best Shakespeare play. Discuss.

Through no fault of my own I happen to have two different giant books each containing the collected works of Shakespeare. I don’t even like him that much.

Of the tragedies, that’s my favorite. My favorite overall Shakespeare play is The Tempest, and I always thought they should have done a film version with Patrick Stewart.
Enjoying the Shady Acres of hockey blogging retirement. No, that's not the Florida Panthers.
Actually now that I think of it my favorite might be Richard III. The film version of that with Ian McKellen is so good.

You know what sucks about eating salad every day for lunch – when you find a dressing you really like, the store goes and no longer sells it. Just stops. So you go thru trying different ones, but they are all just blah compared to the one you really like and now you can’t even enjoy your salad anymore. I hate this!

You’re right. Let’s talk about sit ups.
I like how mentioning food always brings about 200 comments but when mentioning exercise… silence.
I bought a new bike a few weeks ago and been riding alot lately. I would have said that earlier but was busy working … :)

So, if a player(like Doughty) is not eligible for arbitration and the two parties can’t come to an agreement. What happens?
Is there a deadline ’til he becomes a UFA?
He has until 12/1 to sign or he can’t play this season. I’m not 100% but I’m pretty sure it only burns a year of his free agent status, he doesn’t automatically become a UFA or anything.
So, it’s the Kings or bust, eh? Bummer.
It’s almost like there are “restrictions” to this free agency…

Like Chris Pronger, or when people describe the Ducks as the Sharks’ rivals.
They describe every low seed that beat them in the first round as their rivals. That makes for a lot of rivals!
