Several years ago I was a fan that hated my team more that I loved it. Some would call that riding the bandwagon; cheering when they were winning, and downtrodden when they weren’t. To be honest I cheered all the time, but when we were losing it was freakin hard to stay positive when there wasn’t a lot to be positive about.

Now fast forward to the last 2.5 years where we have, short of winning the elusive cup made of silver: broken records, created superstars and overall improved to the status of an elite team.

Here are some bragging rights (stats):

  - First place overall in the league

  - Scored more goals than any other team

  - Allowed 2nd fewest goals in league

  - On a 9-game unbeaten streak

  - Marcus Naslund has 13 pts in 4 games

  - Scored 1st goal per game over past 12 contests (ties NHL record)

  - Brendan Morrison has 9-game pts streak

  - Rookie Jason King is tied for most pts as a rookie

  - Marcus Naslund, Todd Bertuzzi & Brendan Morrison most potent line

  - Lowest combined GAA in league

  - Marek Malik, Marcus Naslund & Brendan Morrison are +/- leaders

Whew… I need to towel off!

We made a video yesterday, it was fun. I’m sure Jugs will be posting links sometime soon.

Look for it.

Has anybody else out there discovered RSS feeds yet?

Man is this the shit.

Monitor tonnes of news sites and blogs all in one interface.

Almost like a customized newspaper.

For example at a glance I can watch for new headlines on the NewYork Times, Slashdot, the BBC UK Edition, WebMonkey and this blog.

These links take you directly to the RSS feeds.

All you need is an RSS reader. Feed Demon works really well.

So get a reader and subscribe to this Blog , that way you will know when the videos are up :)

Which brings me to my next point.

Having all these news headlines flash up at me all day has left me a little over informed.

In confessing to more murders than any other serial killer in U.S. history Wednesday, the 54-year-old former truck painter provided heart-wrenching details of the 48 women he murdered to their families gathered in a Seattle courtroom to hear his confession.

Ridgway pleaded guilty to 48 counts of aggravated murder and agreed to provide information to help locate remains lost for nearly two decades in exchange for prosecutors agreeing not to seek the death penalty.

Animated underwater fish movie “Finding Nemo” took a huge bite out of the home video market with a record 8 million DVD and video sales in its first day at retailers, raising the possibility of shortages, an official with Walt Disney Co. said Wednesday.

Disney, in partnership with Pixar Animation Studios Inc., produced the film about the little lost fish “Nemo” and his father’s adventure to find him. The previous single-day record of 5 million DVD and video unit sales was for their previous collaboration, “Monsters, Inc.”

The film was released in May and has been 2003’s biggest box office hit with just under $340 million in movie ticket sales in the United States and Canada.

Bob Chapek, head of Disney’s Buena Vista Home Entertainment group, which markets videos and DVDs, said the company shipped 25 million units to retailers but underestimated demand. He said Disney is working with manufacturers to get more copies made for retailers who will likely see shortages this week.

“Some of our customers have told us they sold three times what they projected on day one,” he said. “We’re aggressively making as many [copies] as possible, but it is likely that some of our major accounts may go out of stock,” he said.

Chapek said the mix of sales was roughly 80 percent DVDs to 20 percent videos, with DVDs being offered at a suggested retail price of $19.99 and videos at $17.99. Many retailers, however, put steep discounts on DVDs to help drive sales of other goods, so actual retail revenues are hard to pinpoint.

Still, if the DVDs and videos were sold at suggested retail prices, “Nemo’s” one-day sales figure would total $156 million, which would be a massive weekend box office debut for a movie. That only underscores the fact that amid the booming DVD market, the home entertainment groups of Hollywood’s major studios are pumping up profits.

Chapek said the heightened sales were being reported across the broad swath of retailers dealing in DVDs, from mass-merchant stores to specialty video shops.

He said Disney was working to update sales forecasts, but declined to provide new forecasts over the 25 million units already shipped. He did say he expected the ratio of DVDs sold to videotapes sold to increase.

I hope y’all kept safe, limited your pumpkin bombs and made sure to use sugar in people’s gas tanks as opposed to paprika. Some people never learn.

I don’t know whether to grunt with excitement or laugh pathetically at this upcoming ‘04 release of Alien vs Predator, the movie.

A line of carved pumpkins spells out “Marry Me Rose” on the lawn of Rosemarie DelRoio’s home in Scotch Plains, New Jersey, October 21. DelRoio’s boyfriend, John Pearce, used the pumpkins to propose to his sweetheart while they were both walking through a nearby cornfield maze.

She accepted.
