Whalers PR

The Whalers would like to announce they have moved the third leading scorer in the Phl last year in order to try and shore up their defense for future as well as the present. We wish to thank Stanislav Chistov for his valiant efforts in getting us to the playoffs and helping us put a beating on those lowly "Booins". We hope that Stanislav can help out the Blue Jackets this year the way he has for us.

The Whalers now would like to welcome Aaron Johnson and P.K. Subban to the organization. Mr. Johnson immediately becomes one of our top 3 D-men, shoring us up for this year and the future. P.K. Subban has such a great upside that the Saints are beside themselves in being able to welcome him. The organization has immediately named Mr. Subban the captain of the Spruce Grove Saints and are really looking forward to an exciting season.

Mr. Gagne did try to move a few other players but realized that he may be affecting the chemistry a little too much and has put a halt on all deals, that is except the last one which sees Maxim Afinogenov moving to the perrenial PHL cup champions, the Maple Leafs. Sending Afinogenov moving back to the Leafs allows the Whalers to move towards the youth the have been so desperate in getting. Coming to the Whalers is Colton Scevior who becomes one of three starting RW's that is 18 yrs old joining Niklas Siren and Patrick Cehlin. The organization is completely excited in how the future is looking.

The youth movement this year also sees Juuson Rajala making the big club and Juha Metsola starting in net for the Saints. Luca Sbisa and P.K. Subban add to the youth movement for the Club. B.J. Crombeen has also been added to the farm to hopefully add some scoring punch to the farm.

Some notable additions to the Whalers are Jeff Halpern (who should add some PK strength) Tuukka Rask (an excellent back up for Miller) and Danny Richmond (who will add some defensive depth). All in all the ticket paying public are somewhat in awe of the moves GM Gagne has done but are treating them with eager anticipation. The majority of the public is just happy Mr. Gagne has not moved the beloved captain, Marek Svatos. We all know Svatos was looking to be moved but Mr. Gagne just couldn't find a deal that worked for the Whalers.

Stay tuned for what is sure to be another exciting season in Whaler country.

Just checking to see if anyone is alive. Anyone looking to pick up a french goalie before the season starts?

T Smack with D-Mac

Here's the latest from the PHL Press Writer of the year!

"Oh and Cup of Joe??? Do you SERIOUSLY want to get into a pissin match with the REPORTER OF THE YEAR???"

Do you guys hear any noise? Must be just some static in the air.

Cupp A Joe

Talkin' Smack....WITH ROY....DOUGIE MAC!!!!

Talkin' Smack with DOUGIE MAC......

Well it's another season, another summer, and UNFORTUNATELY I still don't have a REAL job. Still muckin' it here in the PHL. Still writing articles about the Boston Bruins. Still stirring the pot in the PHL.....

I have to first of say thank you to all you people that voted me PRESS AGENT OF THE YEAR.....Nice lil bonus cheque for that one.....spent'er all on the wife, except for my Dale Carnegie course....they booted me out after day three....bunch of know it alls....I mean SERIOUSLY....DO THEY know WHO I AM.....Jack Adams finalist.....PRESS AGENT OF THE YEAR!!!

OK, onwards.....

Well the Bruins have been BUSY....some MAJOR acquisitions this off season. Ole GMAC survived the abysmal finish, Gino Malkin and his FOURTEEN game pointless streak...DID NOT.....Good riddance...he was soft....

Key Additions:

99 Dougie Gilmour 0 L C 8 8 6 6 5 5 7 8 8 9 7 77
14 Tyler Spurgeon 0 L C 5 9 2 6 2 5 9 9 9 6 8 70

5 Mike Fisher 0 R C 7 6 6 5 5 3 6 6 7 7 6 64
40 Kyle Chipchura 0 R LW 2 6 6 6 4 8 6 4 9 4 9 64
55 Maxim Trunev 0 R LW 8 8 2 1 1 2 8 5 8 7 7 57

Key Loses:

72 Evgeni Malkin 0 L C 2 8 9 9 7 8 7 8 9 7 5 79
99 Theoren Fleury 0 R RW 9 9 6 9 6 1 9 2 6 9 9 75

I think it's safe to say.....DAMMMNN....

Rumor out of Bruins HO is this is the year.....make or break as far as this administration is concerned.
This Bruins team is deep in all positions. The acquisitions of Spurgeon and Gilmour gives the Bruins a DANGEROUS group manning the middle. Kyle McLaren is simply one of the best dmen in the entire league. Many suspect this could be the MOST dangerous team in the league, with four bonafide snipers on the wings, and a solid core of defense, and one of the best groups of centers in the league.

Gmac is yet to name his Head Coach, many suspect a Bruin great will be named this week. Gmac's experiment behind the bench was a MONUMENTAL failure.

Around the PHL.....

-Well FA period has come and gone. This FA group was considered the BEST ever, and was a definite opportunity for a few teams to close the gap on the groups at the top. Unfortunately, for the most part the strong got stronger. Several lower rung teams are sitting with 600+ thousand FA dollars, and no talent left to spend it on??? Seriously.....did the Bruins add an 8/9 and 9/9 winger for less than 500K combined??? SERIOUSLY....are some of you sleeping at the wheel??? HOW THE HELL AM I UNEMPLOYED??? SERIOUSLY??? LIKE SERIOUSLY????
-10 Teams have been CUT loose. LA, Vancouver, Quebec and Hamilton will be missed....solid franchises....the rest??? Good riddance.....there are enough PLUGS in the Western Conference.....

-Speaking of Plugs....how about that Smythe??? Combined winning percentage of that division last year??? How about a WHOPPING .461!!! UGLY.....Oilers take it, Running away....and that is pathetic!!!

-How about the rest of the league you ask???

Adams - .566
Patrick - .483
Norris - .490
Smythe - .461

-The Stars in the Patrick will be an interesting twist.....like the Eastern Conference needed another powerhouse....thankfully John Boy in a moment of weakness, dealt his ONLY 9/9 Goalie....Stars still win the Patrick....

-Jazzy Jazz, has been VERY quiet??? All that FA cash, and NO significant acquisitions??? As usual, I have no idea what Chazz is doing(Pretty sure neither does he).

-Bruins will win the Cup....this time I'm SERIOUS!!!!

Meh, i'm bored, and half cocked.....and I have just about met my word quota for this friggin story....just sec....

MMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

K, we're all good.....

Season preview is coming our next week.....I am sure you're all looking forward to seeing what the BEST REPORTER IN THE ENTIRE PHL....as voted by my people.....has to say about the rest of the league....How about this for a start....Ur all playing for second place!!!!

Oh and Cup of Joe??? Do you SERIOUSLY want to get into a pissin match with the REPORTER OF THE YEAR???

You and Cherry for a nice duo.....the HAS BEENS.....actually check that.....Cherry's a has been.....yer a NEVER WAS!!!!
