IT'S A GIRL!
Whe gave birth at 11:20 this morning to a healthy baby girl! The little tyke weighed in at 7 pounds, 11 ounces. Mother and baby are resting comfortably and should be home tomorrow morning. Mr. and Mrs. Whe and Mini Whe are thrilled and I can't stop smiling!
Swollen But Impressed
 Ed Belfour proved his worth to the Toronto Maple Leafs last night (stopping all 33 shots against him) as the Leafs massacred the Pittsburgh Penguins 6-0 in the first game of their regular season. Belfour was booed by Leaf fans at the ACC during pre-season play, I guess they felt he didn't measure up to Curtis Joseph, who (fucking traitor) signed with The Detroit Red Wings this past summer. I felt that behaviour like booing Belfour, especially during pre-season, was deplorable. I mean Belfour is not only a Stanley Cup Champion (with the Dallas Stars in 1999), he has also won the Vezina Trophy (best goaltender in the NHL) twice and the Calder Memorial Trophy (NHL rookie of the year). Curtis Joseph has never won any of these awards.
I have always had an affinity with goalies which started with my huge crush on Mike Palmateer when I was 10 years old. I also always felt goalies were kind of "out there alone". Sure, they're part of a team, but they have basically the most important job, keep that damn puck out of the net. Generally, I don't think goalies get enough credit. Belfour impressed me last night, I like him. I just hope an injury doesn't put him on the sidelines anytime soon. And speaking of injuries... Yesterday my friend Ron came for a visit. I went outside to look for him and saw him parking his SUV. Whe's son (Mini-Whe) ran outside with me. By the time Ron got to the door, Whe was there to say hi as well, she opened the door and the damn dog ran outside then proceeded to take off on us, as per usual. Mini-Whe and I ran after her but she never listens to Whe and I and (believe it or not) I actually panicked a bit as she edged closer and closer to a busy road. Ron finally decided to give it a try, called her and she ran right to him. Fuckin' dog... As we strolled along a paved, sloped pathway I picked up Mini-Whe. A couple of seconds later, one of my platform shoes gave out and I twisted my ankle and fell to the ground, Mini-Whe in my arms. I tried to get my hand under his head as we fell but was too late. All I could hear was a crunching sound as his head hit the pavement. I knew I was injured but I could have cared less. I picked up the little guy and saw a bump actually growing on his head. It reminded me of a Bugs Bunny cartoon when someone gets hit with a mallet and the bump just kind of pops out of their head. Mini-Whe was crying and scared (ditto for me) but Whe said he would be alright. She applied ice to his head and he was smiling a few minutes later. I had whacked my knee and it was bleeding, as were knuckles on both my hands. I washed them off but was more concerned about the three-year-old. Last night I noticed my knee was quite swollen and it's even worse today. But hell, with the way Belfour played last night, better me than him...
EZboard is down. BeX is going nuts. I'm trying to figure out YaBB. In the meantime, I set this alternaboard up: 
Bravenet is still in business! Who knew?
We Are Damn Serious About Our Hockey
 It seems the CBC doesn't agree and after two weeks of contract negotiations they issued a terse press release the other day saying that MacLean was no longer with the company. WTF? I was so pissed off. And it seems, I am not alone. Fans are absolutely outraged, the CBC has received more than 3,000 angry emails and telephone calls demanding they renegotiate with MacLean. People have picketed the CBC in downtown Toronto. One guy even brought his TV down and smashed it to pieces with a hockey stick, saying he absolutely will not watch Hockey Night In Canada if MacLean is not hosting it. Hey, like I said, we Canadians are serious about our hockey. Here's what other Canadians have to say about Ron MacLean on the CBC website. All the public protesting seems to be working as the CBC announced this afternoon that it will resume negotiations with MacLean on Thursday. Whe thinks it's all a CBC publicity stunt. I think I agree with one of the comments on the CBC website: "QUIT PLAYING GAMES AND JUST GET RON BACK YOU FOOLS!!!"
