FYP.

Yup, those were the two thoughts I had.

Ryan O'Byrne re-signs with the Canadiens.  It's a 3 year deal.  No terms yet.  Could it be a one way deal?  I don't think he would have signed a 3 year two way deal where he could be buried in the organization for pennies.

It's 3 years, 2.825 million, 700, 725, 1.4 for each year.

Here's a link: http://www.rds.ca/canadien/chroniques/255777.html

WARNING: The link is in French.

It doesn't specifically say it's a one-way contract but based on the terms I'm pretty sure it is one-way.



In other news, Matt Moulson signed a one year contract with the Kings at 3:41 PM today according to TSN's free agent tracker.  I'm assuming that's two-way, but none of the articles say anymore than he signed a one-year deal.

Le Big Red! It's settled; Big Red is a masculine noun.

According to babelfish, that was "It gave the disc against l' University of Minnesota and Big Red lost the whore of play!".  How dare you say such awful things!

Assuming French is the same as Spanish, all colors are masculine. Except for, you know, Crimson.

[Jerseygirl]

So...because Crimson is weak and incompetent, it must be feminine?

I'm aware that perhaps I could be taking your joke too seriously and I am far from being a humorless feminist, but idle jokes like that are such a shortchange to strong, intelligent women.

n.b. I chased a bear last weekend.

Sorry, couldn't resist. :-)

[Jerseygirl]

That's ok. After all, they ARE godless killing machines. The number one threat to America.

I did and then I skinned it and then I made myself a fur coat and a hat.

And then I made gloves and boots out of its paws.
