In his Boston Globe column, Bruins beat man Fluto Shinzawa wonders why no one has signed Bryan Smolinski:
Somewhat surprising that no team has signed ex-Bruin Bryan Smolinski. The 36-year-old Smolinski, last seen centering Montreal's crash trio (arguably the most effective threesome against the Bruins in the playoffs) between back-cracker Steve Begin and Tom Kostopoulos, could be an inexpensive one-year pickup for third- or fourth-line duty. Smolinski might have to go the tryout route to earn an NHL job come October
Shinzawa also points out that nine of the NHL's top 10 faceoff men played in the East:
1. We Dare Not Speak His Name, Toronto 945 wins
2. Bobby Holik, Atlanta 877
3. Rod Brind'Amour, Carolina 851
4. Vincent Lecavalier, Tampa Bay 815
5. Marc Savard, Boston 802
6. John Madden, New Jersey 786
7. Joe Thornton, San Jose 785
8. Eric Staal, Carolina 767
9. Chris Drury, Rangers 746
10. Jason Spezza, Ottawa 729

good one!!
check out the new cd 'Wake The Sleeper', by the legendary rock band URIAH HEEP. Their 21st studio album and its a fantastic cd.
The title reminds me of THE HABS....the franchise has finally awoken thanks to Bob Gainey!!
Didn't the main guy die, playing electric guitar, in the bathtub?
no that was the bass player Gary Thain (great bassist 2nd to no one) and he wasn't playing in the bathtub. they found him in the bathtub after he overdosed.
That's was I call "Easy Livin".
dying was Easylivn?
That was the Spinal Tap drummer #17!
No, I'm pretty sure one of Uriah Heep's guitar players died in a tragic, yet stupid, electric guitar / bathtub accident.
DD you'e got your story mixed up. Gary Thain was once electricuted on stage during a concert in Dallas and lied to tell
Funniest stage story I ever heard was when Boy George (!) was in a play in London. He standing on X spot at center stage delivering lines during a rehearsal. He turned to walk towards the director to ask a question when the mirror ball suspended above let losse and crashed to smithereens on the X.
Boy George later said that the world just missed out on hundred jokes roasting him, as he admitted it would have been the perfect way for a prima donna like him to go.
Classic!
Thanks L. I got my stories crossed.
Forgive me but that was the '70's. I was probably stoned out of my mind on speedballs in my jacuzzi, playing a Les Paul through a Cry Baby wah-wah with a fuzz tone pedal, plugged into a Marshall stack and playing "the Wizard" while servicing seven groupies when I heard that story.
I can't believe they lied to me!
Good news for ya, Cheech and Chong are reuniting.
Gimme that wawa, Carl!
Gilbert
2008/09 is the season of the Habs
DD maybe that was you playing guitar in the jacuzzi
Hence, my brain damage issues. Brilliant!
It happened to me over 30 years ago, and I never figured it out. I tell you once and bingo. Thanks, if you ever need your taxes done or need representation in court, I'll be there for you.
He plays a wicked underwater slide!
I thought only Spinal Tab brought bathtubs onstage!
Careful when correcting DD! You might be likened to his ex!
Robert trust me I know my Heep! I'm a Heepster
I'm sure you are, but it's all not my cuppa.
Gary Thain was replaced by John Wetton in 1975. Wetton stayed for 2 albums.
