In your rearview mirror is nearly the entirety of another week working for the man. All that stands between you and nice weekend is a few more hours. But we here at A Clockwork Orange (and Black) don’t want you to have to wait a few more hours to have fun. With that in mind, we now present to you Friday Fun - a lighthearted look at the headlines for the last week from in and around the National Hockey League.
* The ECHL’s Bakersfield Condors are honoring Michael Jackson tonight. They will be wearing a special Jackson themed jersey as well as one black and white glove. Children under the age of 10 will not be allowed to attend the game as parents are uneasy as to how else the team may pay homage to the late King of Pop.
* Sean Avery apparently doesn’t care for Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau. During the Rangers-Capitals first round playoff series last season, Avery hurled several weight related insults towards Boudreau. The best of the bunch? He called Boudreau fatter than Ken Hitchcock. You can’t make this stuff up, people.
* The Devils are now 1-4 on home ice. You’d think a group of wealthy men would be more comfortable in the middle of Newark, New Jersey…
* A disgruntled Maple Leafs fan recently sold his NHL allegiances on eBay. The winning bid was for $25 and came from a Dallas Stars fan. As with most life decisions, your NHL loyalties should be decided by complete strangers in an anonymous internet auction.
* Ilya Kovalchuk, of the Atlanta Thrashers, suffered a broken foot and will miss 3 to 5 weeks. So, for the next 3 to 5 weeks no one will be able to name anyone from the Thrashers lineup.
* Ex-Flyer Scottie Upshall was benched for the Coyotes game last night against the Blues for undisciplined play. So you mean maybe it’s not all poor leadership from John Stevens? Some players might just be undisciplined?
* With Upshall out of the lineup, the Coyotes would go on to shut out the Blues 2-0. They celebrated by using their iPhones to take pictures of themselves giving the middle finger and then emailed them to Jim Balsillie.
* The Capitals announced a new video pod cast for their site that will be called “Capitals On The Fly.” This, of course, is the most original name ever…
* Chris Chelios recently signed with the Chicago Wolves of the AHL. He instantly became the first player in AHL history to have an active AARP membership.
* Sidney Crosby will help carry the Olympic Torch during its travels across Canada in preparation for the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver. Now if I could only think of something funny for this. Crosby… A flame… Hmm...
