Hello. Once again the PB blog has gone horrible un-updated for a bit. Alas, this time the wait was worth it. I bring you... AN INTERVIEW WITH PAT LAFONTAINE! Who is Pat LaFontaine? Only one of the greatest NHL players of all time and arguably THE greatest AMERICAN NHLer of all time.

Pat LA LA LA LA LA Fontaine was nice enough to talk with the Puckboy about many things including;

- Ranger fans almost tipping over his ambulance as it left MSG

- His picks (albeit bad ) for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. NOTE - Since Ive been busy with the Moose Meat farming, this interview is dated by about a week. So the playoff predictions are a little behind. Again, Pat is awesome, but he's kind of wrong... and I am right. Yes, I picked better than an NHL HOFer. Thank you.

- Pat's Companions in Courage foundation. He helps to put entertainment centers in Kids hospitals. Its a GREAT cause built by a GREAT guy/hockey player. Click around there, you'll help some sick kids forget about their problems for a little bit. WWW.CIC16.ORG

Anyway, enjoy the interview below. I put a few pics in it too. Also, watch the youtube video below of the top 10 Pat LA LA LA LA LA LA FONTAINE! Goals of all time.

Good day - PB

ONE MORE THING!

My Lot D buddy Rashied kindly asked for a quick recap of the NHL playoffs so far. First off Rashied thanks for being nice enough to read my blog. Second, thanks for actually acknowledging that my NHL expertise is pretty good. Actually let me take this time to point out that NHL legend Pat LaFontaine said the AVS and Rangers would meet in the Stanley Cup and I told him he was wrong.... Rashied, read on my friend.

Quick recap so far

- My beloved Red Wings will finish off the sweep of the crippled Avalanche tonight. That is if the Avs have enough dudes on the bench to actually skate a full line. Those wussies are more hurting than that chick Dennis Rodman was wailing on.

- The Dallas Stars are up 3-1 on the San Jose Sharks. Hate to say this, but the Sharks could win the cup, next year. Unfortunately they are going through the "grit building process" of playoff whuppings. Last year the Wings did it to them, now the Stars. Dallas is a little scary. Not much, just a little.

- The Montreal Canadiens could've beaten the Flyers, who are up in the series 3-1. Put they pulled goalie stud of the future Carey Price a few games ago. That destroyed his stressed out mind. Earlier this year, the dude was told he was the future of the Canadien hockey club. Did you see that Montreal fans after making it out of the first round? Thats intensity. Now imagine playing net in front of those fired up frenchies? Yeah, id need a vacation too. Plus he's like 14 year old. They'll lose, he'll grow a pair and take over the league over the next 3 years. Philly will win and then lose to...

- The Penguins. I hate to say this. We all know that Pittsburgh is a s****y city. I do not want them anywhere near a championship. Mario Lemieux is NOT from there and he is a god, even though he's French Canadian. I kind of feel sick now that im going back and looking at what I wrote. The Penguins could win 12 Stanley Cups in a row. They also could crumble under the mighty, crushing force of the Western Conference. We won't know until the Stanley Cup finals, which they'll be in. Honestly I forgot who they're playing right now... oh, the Rangers. Sean Avery's spleen exploded or something. That tells you how bad it is for them right now. Actually, if I ever stepped on the ice with Sid the Kid, Evgeni Malkin and the rest of the Pens, most of my internal organs would probably liquify. That or a puck would probably be blasted through my pasty Canadian mid-section.
