The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth with all their oles and hey-hey-hey-goodbyes will foam up about their waists and all the fans and puck bunnies will look up and shout "Save us!"...

...and I'll look down and whisper "No." ~ Carey Price, Assumed Savior of Douchebag Nation

I've mentioned it before, but one of the best things about being a blogger is the ability to track your blog's statistics and find out how people are finding the site. Interestingly, in the past half hour, 3 people have come to the site by Google'ing what is wrong with carey price or my favorite what the hell is wrong with carey price. That's right Habs fans, start cursing those wax brows.

Apparently today's piece on Price's brows hasn't gone unnoticed by some Habs fans over at the Hockeybuzz forums. Here are some of the reactions:

sens fans? since when? don't you mean Habs and Leafs fans? the only time i've ever seen Sens fans was the cup final a couple of years ago ~ Douchebag #1

Pretty funny. So there's 1 Sens fan with a sense of humor who isn't a lobotomized bland suburban jerk-jockey. ~ Douchebag #2

Wow, someone probably took one or two hours to write this irrelevant, unfunny poop. ~ Douchebag #3

Well Ottawa is pretty sad and lame, so I'm sure THEY would find this funny. ~ Douchebag #4

Thanks for the hits fellas.

Brian Elliott - Do You Know Who I Am?

Mr. Elliott, congratulations on setting a Senators record for 7 consecutive wins by a rookie goaltender. Although the bar staff at Fat Tuesdays might not recognize who you are (allegedly), if you keep winning consecutive games, people will catch on. Besides, with Pascal Leclaire coming into the fold, there's no rush to proclaim you as the savior of the franchise.

Don Brennan - Still Smattering Brendan Bell With Literary Fellatio

Further on the Brendan Bell story, this is how the Senators defence shapes up for next year, barring free agent signings or trades:
Bell, who is currently making $500,000 on the NHL contract of his two-way deal and becomes an unrestricted free agent this summer, could join eight others vying for a spot in the Top 6 if he returns:
Filip Kuba ($3.7 million), Chris Phillips ($3.5 million) and Anton Volchenkov ($3.2 million) are guaranteed spots.
Chris Campoli ($675,000) will be back, too, and it seems unlikely the Senators will be able to find a taker or take another such hit by buying out Jason Smith ($2.6 million).
That leaves Brian Lee ($850,000), Alexandre Picard ($850,000) and the possibility of first rounder Erik Karlsson being ready. If he’s not, Karlsson could start the season in Bingo, leaving Lee and Picard in the battle.
Bell will figure into the mix if his salary demands are in line with what the Senators might be prepared to do. For instance, accept a marginal raise but on a one-way deal, which is what he really wants. It'd especially make sense for the Senators if Karlsson, a similar type player, isn't quite ready for prime time.
At the rate Bell is going, the Senators might even be prepared to deal Picard to open up a spot for him. ~ Don Brennan, Off the Posts

I love it when Don plays favorites. Like a commenter made notice of in the previous blog's comment thread, Comrie was absent for the second straight game because of the flu. Strangely, he hasn't been called out yet. You'd hate to think that it's only because Don doesn't want to Hillary Duff's bad books.
