Wanna be the boss? Make this happen, JM...

The completely awesome Orland Kurtenblog has reported on a new - and quite original - Vancouver Canucks promotion: "You Call the Shots: Be the Canucks General Manager for a Day!", you know, to go with the myriad other "new and quite original" promotions.

In a nutshell, win the contest and become GM of the 'Nucks for a day. Or more likely, the GM's shadow for a day (and Mike Gillis must be thaaarilled). As the Kurtenblog proclaimed, they're not looking to unload the Sedins, but a minor-league deal might be fun. Maybe hitting the rolodex, dialing up Mats' agent and offering 12 mil for the big Swede. You are the GM, after all. Nothing says you must be a smart one. Oh to be Eddie Johnston for one single day in 1990...

Anyway, what say you, PantherNation? If given the opportunity to run your club for 24 hours, who and what would be on your radar? Anyone you've been pining to dump? Or clamoring to acquire? Perhaps right that ultimate of wrongs and get Brani Mezei back in the fold?

Booth Named NHL's Second Star of the Week

Superman's nuthin without a booth.

Thanks to three goals and an assist in two games, including an overtime game-winner, Cats' forward David Booth has been named the Second Star of the week by the NHL, following Vancouver's dual-DNA freak Danrik Sedin, and edging out some goaltender in New Jersey.

Keeping the folks in SoFla proud, The Dude's been a points machine. Congrats, David!

Awesome Picture of the Day

"I've done this before, Henrik. That guy to your right, who looks an awful lot like you - Daniel's his name? - can glare at me until the ghost of Dave Babych rises from the ice; I'm not moving. Oh yeah, Davey B...not dead. Blink. C'mon...y'know you want to blink...just one blink? I'm signed through like 2056, so don't come into my house with your two-for-one deal. I wear red. Blood red. You're doused in Kelly Green, like yer lookin to rehab the Whale or somethin'. The puck remains under us. Hasn't moved. Don't be thinkin' your 33 is twice my 16, even though mathematically it is, and more. Ok, I've got it. I'll talk it over with your goalie. Captain, you say? Well that can't be! The 'C' is on his mask, for the love of Kirk McLean! Let's see it on artificial fabrics and then we'll talk..."
