Some people don't need any help...
UPDATED: All our predictions are up, Trogdor showed off and I added a few more predictions from around the internerds.
Well, the pre-season prognosticators are getting out their guesses for the season, so I decided that I will compile a list of them where we can discuss/ridicule/cajole their predictions, make our own and have it all down on record for the end of the season where we can come back and see how very very wrong we are.
Here are the rankings as I find them. I will post more as they come to my attention. Continue reading 'How to Look Like an Idiot in 1 Year or Less'»

One might think the "Pubis Whatever" and that thing above his lip are related, but not so..
Marc Pouliot
First off, Marc Pouliot will likely be placed on the IR for Osteitis Pubis or a “pubis whatever” as Pat Quinn eloquently put it. The Edmonton Journal has a write up on the situation with Pouliot.
A little bit of research shows that it looks like this can be one of those things that sticks around for a while, and has been known to occur within hockey players (Kevin Lowe being one of them, as the Journal mentioned). Lowe was able to return to the lineup within 3 games, but the most effective treatment for this is rest. Continue reading 'A few small updates on the Oil'»
