The Pens finally pulled the trigger on the Petr Nedved trade,
dishing him off to the New York Rangers. It breaks down like
this...Petr Nedved, Chris Tamer, and Sean Pronger to the
Blueshirts in return for underachieving right winger Alexei
Kovalev, center Harry York, and $2.5 million.
So the media has been calling me and asking what I thought of the
whole ordeal. My response, "I'm ready for my close-up, Mr.
DeMille." What in the hell does that mean? I don't know, I just
saw Sunset Boulevard and I wanted to add that in somewhere.
Anyway, with the loss of Tamer the Penguins have absolutely
nobody to fight now, unless Tom Barrasso feels like stepping into
the role. It is my opinion that Nedved was the marquee name in
that trade, yet the Pens had to dish two additional players to
make it happen. I just don't get it.
Do you know what else I just don't get? How Mankind gets a title
shot at the Corporate Champ, The Rock, this Sunday. Mankind's
gay, plain and simple. The Rock's gonna lay the smack down.
I'm cutting it short this issue. Why? Because I can.
