Boring News: No End in Sight

If hockey news dries up any more than it already has, we’re soon going to be posting about what happens to Sidney Crosby’s discarded dental floss (Hint: I’m making a sweater).

Today’s tid-bit comes from the official Atlanta Thrashers web site. They recently interviewed GM Don Waddell and asked him about his off-season moves and his hopes for the coming season.

Q. If training camp started today would you be happy to go into it with this group of players?

A. I’d be 100% content. First of all we’re going to have some younger players in the lineup and that’s a great opportunity for them and for our franchise. You look at defense with Enstrom being a second year player and Nic Havelid coming off a very good season last year. Adding a guy like Hainsey back there who can really move the puck will make a big difference.

Isn’t being “100% content” about the same as being absolutely, without a doubt, positively mildly pleased? I think I was 100% content with the latest Hulk movie… I also described it as “better than shit” (i.e. the first Hulk movie.) So best of luck to the Thrashers, here’s hoping your season is hulk dog and Nick Nolte free.

BTW, the image above is of the lovely Leryn Franco, a Paraguayan javelin thrower (as opposed to javeline hunters. They are nasty!). Consider this our hat-tip to the Olympics which, I was told, were once held in Atlanta.
