I Need a Cigarette...

Last night was amazing.  Was it good for you?  It was good for me.  So good.  I've heard the commercials.  "Call a doctor if it lasts for longer than 4 hours" but ya know what?  I'm not calling any doctor.  Call me crazy, but I want this feeling to last as long as possible.  Maybe even through Saturday...?

Also, I think I finally figured out what has caused Jonas Gustavsson's elevated heart rate. This Phil Kessel guy has got mine racing. Ya ya ya, Likely fan shot already. And, I know it's available as a t-shirt because I already bought one (communist on line corporations are such buzzkills. Likely's working on a means to get this done, stay tuned...). So if you don't like it, maybe you're dead?

Giggity.

• Would you like to feel the elation from last night all over again? Ya, me too. How about some recaps then? There's a plethora of them around the Barilkosphere: FiftyMissionCap, JaredFromLondon, Dr. Steve, the MLHS gang and The Hockey News.
• Apparently Burke traded somebody named Jiri Tlusty. Never heard of him personally, but some folks have. Steve, HockeyCentric, TSM, MLHS (with two different posts) and Toronto Mike.
• It's Friday and that means youTube Yoinkage for everyone!
• The Vintage Leaf Memories reminisces about Dick Duff.
• Puck the Media has some predictions for the landscape of televised sports with Comcasts' purchase of NBC.

My opinion of the Phil Kessel trade...
