Girl Fight!

Stamkos got in his first fight with fellow pussy Nikki Zherdev yesterday. It was about as dissapointing as both of their careers combined (so far).

Disturbing Update!: So it turns out that I was beaten to the punch on theis scoop (two posts ago). Maybe I should start reading this blog before I post in it. Maybe I should do a lot of things...

Zheredev thinks he is Jarome Iginla

So you may have seen the highlights last night, but you may have not, so here is the video:


So the announcers are pretty into the fact that Stamkos is going at it. That's all fine and great, but I am pretty into the fact that Zherdev is the dude that goes after him. That is a Euro! That is sweet. The NHL needs more -200lb first round Ukrainian enforcers. Cause that's what will get the average american into watching the NHL. Speaking of America, Happy Thanksgiving and Black Friday to our American reader. I am off to eat some Turducken and watch some football, since there are no exciting NHL teams allowed to play today.

Nikita Filatov is going to ruin everything.

So, your in a hockey pool this weekend? You got any of those rookie stips? If so, Nikita Filatov may just ruin your pool.

Here's the thing. Stamkos is by far and away the best Rookie forward out there today. He has a lock on a roster spot and will likely see some good PP time. So what's the problem? Well...

In comes Nikita. He is a long shot to make the roster (his first game is tonight against Buffalo), and with at least two other rookies dressing this season before him, I wouldn't sweat it too much. But,...BUT...if that little bastard manages to find his way onto the line-up, look the fuck out. He has the capability to blow Stamkos out of the water in the Calder race. So what? Well, in your pool, he will likely be taken in the last round, as a long shot. But he could make your first Round pick of Stamkos look ridiculous. Your best bet? Just pick Mueller and be happy you came in third.

Note: I probably copuld have fleshed this out a bit more for you, but I'm at work, and my boss is giving me the shifty eyes again.

"It's Stamkos Time", or maybe "Watch out for Steven". Either headline works just fine.

So, Steven Stamkos signed a nice little contract the other day to be the spokesperson for the luxury Swiss Watch company, Tissot. I'm assuming the gig involves him wearing the watch, and collecting large cheques. Not bad work if you can get it. Stamkos must have a pretty good agent if he is getting endorsement deals before he has ever even played a game. Maybe Malkin should give him a call since his agent has only managed to get him a non speaking role in this epic piece of advertising history.

Barry Melrose is sexually attracted to Steven Stamkos.

"He's cut. He'd be a male model if he wasn't a hockey player. But he's slim. He's 18 years old"

I just picture Barry in an old van with curtains in the windows, pulling up next to a cold and confused Steven claiming he needs help finding his lost puppy, and that his Mom told him to come and get him because she was sick, and there is also free candy in the back. This has Graham James special touches written all over it.
