We'll Do It Live! DAILY BRIEFING

(yes, I KNOW that both Rick-rolling and Bill O'Reilly's meltdown are Old at this point, but combining the two as this video does is just Too Good)

Is there news? There is news:

- Eight defensemen. If anyone ever comes to feel that 8 is too much, they can always, you know, move somebody. Just. Saying.

- Hey, speaking of Thrashers defensemen, here's Brent Sopel doing the "Ask a Thrasher" questionnaire. He enjoys Ministry, which means Jesus built his hotrod.

- REVEAL'D! The scribes of Puck Daddy have published their predictions for this season's Eastern Conference. How will our Thrashers fare? Not well! (oh look, for the 10 billionth time in history Razor Catch Prey and I have posted around the same time.)

- The NHL season begins today, hooray! You can find games in Helsinki, Toronto, and uh, that new Penguins arena.

GO BRAVES, the end.
