And because that was so much fun, here's the Swedish Chef's take on the Schneider signing:

ENEHEIM, Celeeff. - Zee Uneheeem Doocks hefe-a feenelly fuoond a noo hume-a fur Metheeeoo Schneeeder.

Zee NHL teem deelt zee feterun deffencemun tu zee Etlunta Threshers oon Freedey fur blooe-a-leener Kee Klee-a und veengers Bred Lersen und Ched Peeenchood.

"It vurked tu oooor beneffeet, zee ooppurtooneety tu edd a pleyer ooff thees celeebre-a veet a teem thet ves up egeeenst zee cep und hed tu meke-a a mufe-a tu get under zee cep," Threshers generel muneger Dun Veddell seeed. "It's a beeg dey fur oooor fruncheese-a."

I think this is the greatest thing ever written by anyone, ever.

I wish I could take credit, but there's actually a plug-in for Mozilla Firefox that automatically translates any web page into Swedish Chef-ese.

I'd give you a link, but I got it a couple of years ago and don't know where it came from. You can probably find it by doing a search on the Firefox website.

I am now off to try out the new NHL 09. Somebody call me Sunday night and make me turn it off and go to bed so I can make it to work Monday morning.
