Interview with Tom Lynn; Brusty bobblehead

See, this is what I get for actually going to the games and not listening to the broadcast. Anybody who listened to the game on Thursday knew Scandella was signed and arrived last week. A tip woulda been nice... Bueller? Beuller?

Anyway...

Regardless of your feelings toward him, I always get a lot out of interviews with Lynn. He really doesn't pull many punches from what I can tell, particularly when it comes to player evaluation. In this interview, he talks tough love with regard to Pouliot, and a bit on some of the younger prospects like Falk. If you're into that stuff it's worth a listen.

-----------------

Please, won't someone buy this for me?

Ahh, the wonders of Google Alerts.

Here's a tip, bobblehead maker: Just leave the mask off the goalie bobbles. Bless his heart--that's awkward.

Oh yeah, and check out that player stick. You don't need locker room access to know goalies have bigger sticks.

Anyway, yeah, I totally need that. Imagine, he has a bad game, you can thump him on the head and he'll just nod and wiggle at you. You can't stay mad at that!

You could even wad up little bits of paper and make a game of trying to flick it through that gaping 5-hole, or right in that pie plate of a catcher. Hours of fun.

UPDATE: And just to keep from appearing to be fixated on Barry by making two posts in a row about him, I'll just tack on the What's Bugging Barry? segment that Joe posted today.

He looks like a Knight of the Round Table! (Which, incidentally, would be a good place to store his glove. On a table. Because it looks like a plate.)

Wow - is that ever unfortunate.

Here in Milwaukee, we had a bobble head of Brewers Catcher Damien Miller 2 years ago. His catcher's mask was detachable!

Granted - MLB teams probably have a bit more coin to spend on these things...but it was much better than this alternative.

That's exactly it! I was trying to figure out what it was and you nailed it.

Just checked Aeros website roster and where is Beau Nr 2. Rejean Beauchemin, nothing listed under transactions either? Anyone knows?

He was back in Idaho (w/o gear) on Saturday and played for the Steelheads, securing the win in gear he scrounged from 3 netminders.

Thanks, Fred. Not bad. He's someone to keep an eye on, not only for goalkeeping talent ;).

Anonymous is my kind of person. I can tell.
