Hosers Almanac:5/10: No more beachballs at the Beancan U and The greatest thing to happen to ESPN since Melrose

Quote of the week:
Do you like watching James vanriemsdyk play hockey? He was unappreciated by pro scouts during his early days at CBA , but when he cracked the U18 Lineup, he really came onto his own, both offensively and defensively. His puck passing had a clear crisp feel, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gave his game a big boost. He's been compared to Bill Guerin , but I think James has a far much better offensive sense, and ability to use the body jousting for position near the net. In 2007, James Van Riemsdyk scored this goal* at BU, his most accomplished goal. This was his undisputed best dangle of the year, a goal so sick most people probably didn't pay attention to his great play leading up to the dandle. But they should because its not just about making your former teammate look like an idiot, and the importance of stick handling, its also a personal statement about who influences Vanriemsdyk in years past.

Back again ladies and Hosers to guide you through all the mysteries that is modern life. We begin with some recent headlines in the world.

-It was announced earlier in the week that now legendary Beancan U sieve, Brett Bennet would not return to the team next season. In memoriam of his departure, Beancan U will hold on ice ceremony on opening night next season that will include a 21 Beachball salute. Not only does this beautifully and accurately depict his contributions to the team, but ironically, 21 was his final goals against average with the team.

-Also leaving their team this offseason, The Gerbe Baby announced that he would be signing a three-year deal with the Buffalo Sabres. While the news of this signing is not all that shocking considering his dominance during the Frozen Four this year, the only shocking fact in this story is that the Sabres did away with their long standing rule of "You must be this tall to sign" in order to acquire him.



Sign that the world could finally be moving in the right direction
The legend that is Don Cherry will be joining the Man with the Golden Mullet better known as Barry Melrose on ESPN



Another reason to consider moving to Canada:
PA Senator Arlen Specter continues to actively question the NFL's handling of the "Spygate" controversy. Specter continues to demand to see the tapes handed over to the NFL by former video assistant Matt Walsh, but he has since be unable to as several nearby delivery and trucking services have gone under as a result of high gas prices sending them into bankruptcy. When asked of this dilemma, Specter asked "Since when does the economy and the well being of the people that elected me have anything to do with being a senator in the US Government? I'm trying to govern a sport I have no jurisdiction over!"



Poster boy of the Week:
Today, we salute you Roger Clemens. You continue to set the bar for all professional athletes in the world who aspire to create their own public relations nightmare amid rampant steroid allegations while still having time to get frisky with a 15 year old girl all the while effectively torpedo-ing any chance of the hall of fame. You are an inspiration to all the Keith Johnson's of the world. We all know you didn't buy those Hannah Montana tapes for your kids.

That's all for this week ladies and Hosers, until next time, remember to always remind your local BC Douchebag that they too can make the world a better place if they just go outside and play in traffic.

Good day, Eh!
