SASQUATCH! REVEALS LINEUP

The eagerly anticipated Sasquatch! festival lineup has been announced and it includes some similarities to Coachella but also some welcome differences. Though top to bottom, it might not be as good as last year's festival, the organizers definitely delivered with the headliners. The preliminary bill includes bjork, arcade fire, interpol, beastie boys, m.i.a., grizzly bear, spoon, tokyo police club. My guess is BP will fall in love with bjork the way he fell in love with the lips last year. Obviously these big names weren't good enough for a certain neighbour to the south who loudly proclaimed "what, no Jann Arden?" followed by, "they could at least hook up the Barenaked Ladies!" Like I said before, some people are born with no taste. Whether the lineup is thought of as good or bad, debauchery will no doubt ensue.

So the Oil have made a trade and it is a puzzling one. Trading away Mark-Andre Bergeron for a no-name who won't even play with us this year only makes sense if the Edmonton brass has given up on the season. Well if that's the case...it's about time guys, most of us gave up a long time ago. It's nice of you to join the party! The plan is to take back Whyte the night the oilers are officially eliminated. It's gonna be off the chain. In all seriousness, Bergeron can not take the blame for what is most likely the saddest defensive corps in the league. There are many other passengers involved in this debachle (Joffrey, I'm talking to you). The trading deadline should be interesting...

Some other random NHL notes:

Did anybody else notice that Detroit has once again creeped up to their usual position near 1st overall in the league. The cream inevitably always seems to rise to the top.

Calgary and Kiprusoff are quite ordinary on the road and it can only hurt them heading into the stretch drive and the playoffs.

Tampa Bay is once again regaining some of that Stanley Cup form due in large part to Lecavalier and St Louis' amazing seasons.

Not many people saw the amazing Martin Havlat goal that slipped under the radar last week. Here's a peek. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZHLY-j7CNg
