Oh, I was incorrect: I did not get your point at all and thought you were implying something else entirely.

I forgot my sarcasm tag,  though,  on this board I felt I seldom need to use it.

The hockey thread is pretty buried and I don't feel like resuscitating it for this but I echo the sentiment: I don't like this strange new world where the Maple Leafs know what they're doing!

To make it Smackie related: hey Smacks, what would it take for the Wings to get Sami Vatanen from your Ducks before the trade deadline (or at the draft)?

(1) Stefani - "I think I have enough songs for probably two albums."

(2) Stefani's new album, This is What the Truth Feels Like, will be released March 18th.

This is a Kacey Musgraves away from the Smackie Special.

I nearly posted it here.  Had Kacey been on the bill, it definitely would have gone here.
