A NMC? Say It Ain't So!
I was taking a look at the Buffalo Sabres roster this morning on CapGeek, why? WHY NOT? I knew they'd re-signed Mike Grier (because psst! I write about them), but hadn't seen that he had received a full NMC. Mike Grier? A NMC? Did Regier just suddenly become a nefarious small market Glen Sather? For God's sakes no (for the record, I actually like giving Grier the NMC, why the hell not yah dig?).
That got me thinking; what other joke NMCs are floating around the league? But not just that, what are the oddest stipulations in a NMC out there? Remember Tomas Kaberle's "list"? Yeah, there's a shit tonne (Canadian spelling!) around the league, hit the break to read up on the joke.

Battle of Eastern Conference Finalist...Rappers?
Outside of just ridiculously hating the original song "Beamer, Benz, or Bentley", by Lloyd Banks or whatever miserable individual thought that up, this dude actually does a pretty damn good job. He can talk fast. And news flash; he's from West Chester, making him white.
Then of course, I'm sure you've already heard 'Feels Like 93' by Annakin Slayd. No? Ok.
So I guess the question is; a) where the hell are the Sharks and Hawks fans spitting fire? b) who does it better: sHERBS or Slayd?
EASTERN CONFERENCE RAP BATTLE WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTT

Who Will Win The Cup?
Some pretty interesting points.
1. No shit the west coast is pulling for the Sharks.
2. West Conference is pretty heavily favored, eh?
3. Caps fans really are pulling for the Habs now, Maryland and West Virginia, and almost Virginia picking them.
4. Pennsylvania, seriously, rather, Philadelphia, seriously? I get the bandwagon juice heads from Jersey, but come on.
5. Arkansas sucks; all 50 of em.

Montreal: Your Celebrations Baffle Me
This morning has been awesome for me; there is nothing better than watching riot videos on Youtube; except this one. You guys get a fun surprise in the first minute of this one.
So most of that is cheeky fun, the dancing, the hootin' n hollerin' that's fine. Yeah, climbing light posts is stupid, especially when you have tiny junk, the fire jumping is unnecessary, but you can tell that's early. Light's are still on, females are still in the streets, the next video, well, the first 15 seconds probably says it all.
All in all, word is there were over 30 arrests, broken windows, looting, all that good stuff. For shame; here I thought there were 2 more rounds left in this here playoff season.
Anyways, if you're lookin' to get a feel for the fun, if that's what you wanna call it, just browse this guy's video collection.

But...But...Bath Fitter?
Yesterday afternoon, on the official Bath Fitter Youtube account, BathFitterVideos, they posted the following video of one of their manufacturing facilities.
You know how I know they're serious? They have French and English versions of their video.
You know how I can't take them serious? Ole. Ole. Ole. That and the one lady.
But why is Bath Fitter putting their collective clout behind the Canadiens? Oh, a quick look on the About Us delivers the answer, "Some of the company’s first clients were the Sheraton Centre in Montreal, the Château Laurier in Ottawa and the Royal York in Toronto." So as you can obviously see, [Insert Maple Leafs never in the playoffs joke here], it's only natural.
Kind of makes me wonder if there are any other companies that (outside of sponsorships) openly cheer for teams like this; kinda like Qdoba and the Penguins.
I guess one thing is for sure; Jaro Halak has probably got the most pimp bath fixtures EVAR!

Big Buff Being...Effective?
You know how I know he's not a hockey fan? The emo glasses for one, but he was sitting that whole time?! Just cause you're front and center doesn't mean you sit on your own thumbs all game long. Tsk tsk typical B.C. Starbucks employee.

The 2010 IIHF World Championships Commercial
Obviously it's not on par with the History Will Be Made spots, nor some of NBC's playoff promos, but it's still better than Versus, I guess.
They had me at bloody Suomi.
