We have talked about this many times at the bar. But here it is the official list on this site of all the players that have played for the defunct Hartford Whalers. I also breaks down all the netminders.
Duke and I were talking I couldn't recall the two goalies from the 90s that I that were going to be awesome, so I looked them up it was Mario Gosselin and who could forget Mike Lenarduzzi? Of course neither them were Sean Burke who not only still plays today but shut out a certain Philly hockey team this afternoon.
A quick count I came up with 14 players in the league still playing that were once Whalers. Glenn Wesley was the only player left on the hurricanes who played for the Whalers even though he was gone for awhile. Jeff O'Neil left this summer who at that point played his whole career with the team.
So, check the site out. I enjoyed it. How could I have forget the CVS line?

"My Secret Phone"
So Duke and I were at the Flyers game a few weeks ago. Afterwards we went to Chickie and Petes for a post game dinner/drinks.
93.3 WMMR was there, and they gave out cell phones for some contest. Of course it was too loud in there to hear what the rules were. ALso, no one seemed to be pay any attention. They handed phones out and I thought it would ring or something if I won.
Who knows.
All I know is the phone actually works, from downloads, to text message to making actually calls. I have no idea why, but its been weeks and it seems like I have a free phone with no bills of any sort. Perhaps the service will be cut off one day or something. But right now it works just fine. I can even play mrs. pacman.
From what I gavered from the contest is that you are supposed to pass the phone on or something so other people can enjoy it. That really dosent make sense if they cut off the service or you have people calling you from the previous friend.
As anyone heard of this promotion?
If a man commands me to do stuff on the phone one day should I do as he says?

"So Long, Super Mario"
Mario Lemieux has retired again and with recent health problems and his age. It will be for good this time. Lemieux retired once before and was away from the game for almost 4 years. He shocked everyone and came back. That year he led the Penguins to the final four.
Super Mario also became part owner of the team and has kept the Penguins in Pittsburgh. Without him they would have moved years ago.
Mario said he is ready to go and pass the game onto the young players like Sid Crosby.
Do you consider Mario's final years after his retirment a success?

"IMDB & Sopranos"
So I was bored the other day and was on the internet movie database as usual. I was floating through the Sopranos page and found something interesting.
If you click on some of the regular guest stars it tells what actors appear in epsiodes of season 6, along with the epsiode title.
For example you can find that the character Rosalie Aprile apears in the episode 6.5 "Mr. and Mrs. Sacramoni Request"
Also Capo Vito will be in the season opener "Members Only" and at least live to espisode 6.6 "Live Free or Die"
One possible clue could be the fact that the Benny charcter is only in the first show at this point. Benny was the low level wiseguy who portected the Soprano family from the black bear last season. He ended up in the hospitial after almost getting beaten to death. Also there is someone credited as doctor. Perhaps he never got out of the hospitial.

"What I have Learned"
Here is what I have learned since living on my own.
Without George Foreman tons of guys that live on their own would be dead with in the first two months. Also, if they can ever come up with one that self-cleans. It would change my life forever.
Grease down the drain is bad.
Grease in the trash can smells terrible after a day or two.
Cleaning sucks.
You will never buy everything you need for your apartment. Each day you realise you dont have something you need. It never ends.
Used stuff saves money.
I honestly have no idea where my socks go. I have several pairs without mates.
I can actually cook some stuff.
Cleaning really sucks.
It will never stop raining for more than a day in order for me to enjoy my deck.
I can talk to myself a lot more and wear pants a lot less living alone.
My notions on getting a dog have been put off, because of money and time. I do however have a Scooby Chia pet. I guess that is a step in the right direction. Provided the seeds actually sprout this week.
Living alone food can go bad and go to waste. Also, when you grocery shop it seems like everyone else eats better than me.
Without Liza I wouldnt have half of what I do in my apartment.
There is a fine line with apartment heating bettween the artic and a flaming inferno.

"Since Tucker Has Been Gone"
Bid Laden told us that we are all screwed.
Spring started 4 weeks ago in South Jersey apperently.
The Flyers went on an impressive run winning most of their games on the 11 game road trip. The longest in NHL history. Going losing in regulation twice.
Jimmy Carter went to the hospitial.
West Wing was cancelled by NBC. Which was by far my favoriate show that I never watched an episode of.
A smoking ban was put in place for all public buildings in South Jersey. Including bars and resturants. Casinos dodged the bullet. Most people I talked to are actually cool with the notion. Although some bartenders are concerned it will kill business. Oh, and a bunch of strippers are protesting to NJ lawmakers.
Everyone is really big on that gay cowoboy movie. About the two cowboys who love each other.
I went to a Pizza Hutt Itlaian Bistro, and it was terrible.

"The Comback"
In order to put our rumors of the fate of Tucker's World. It is tonight that Tucker's World is going to be relaunched. Easily the longest gap bettween updates in the blog's history comes to an end tonight. I certainly needed the break and plan to return to updating a few times a week.
Hopefully the comeback will last longer than the short lived awful HBO show.

"Merry Christmas"
Well, if you haven't noticed on here the updates have been few and far bettween the past month. Well to be honest its been hard to get on here and update. I have major problems with my computer in my apartment. Also now the new apartment takes up a lot of my free time to clean and what not. But now that obviously all my shopping for Christmas is done, I will have more free time to decidate to the blog. I have had so many rants that just never made their way out of my brain no the the blog. So keept his in your daily routine to check at work or whenever.
As per usual here is my traditional christmas story posting.
"The Gift"Some time around the first week of the year. I took a second look at one of our traditional Christmas decorations; it was a complete and total eyesore. It was a gift some old lady gave my mother 10 years ago for Christmas and I guess she felt obligated to put it on the tree each year. It was a gaudy looking knitted cat. It was one the most hideous things I have ever laid eyes on.
They say its thought that counts well it’s the thought that angers me when I see it every year.That same Christmas like every year an epidemic spread through the grade school. This year it was in the form of Sega, the newest video game system. Over greasy square pizza, pale yellow peas, and flavorless mashed potatoes shaped like an ice cream scoop, I would hear all the kids discuss the latest video games. I would try my best to stay absent from the conversation. I wouldn’t know what to say when they would ask me if I had gotten past the castle board yet.
One day went I went home I sat my father down and tried to tell him how I would benefit from having a Sega game system of my very own. I told him it would give me better hand eye coordination and against the popular notion it made kids zombies, I told him it acutally made them think and make quick decisions. He went on and on about how when he was a kid he would just use his imagination to have fun, and how kids today are spoiled. I think that conversation is had all over America in every family at one point and time. I used to think that my parents and all the other parents would go to secret meetings at night or when all their kids were in school and discuss stuff like this. I pictured a man with a gavel leading the meeting and hammering home the idea of telling children why they are spoiled and to shove vegetables down their throats. One time I actually searched my mother’s purse for a pamphlet when they got home late the night before.That Christmas I was hoping for a miracle.
I rushed down the steps that morning and studied each mystery. I did the shake test, the weight test and the hold them up to the sunlight test. As I tore, open each one my chances of getting the coveted Sega was getting slimmer and slimmer. All kinds of flashes were going off from my mother’s camera capturing images of me, and my reactions to each present. Later that day my family and I went to my aunt and uncle’s for dinner.
I was in a miserable mood the whole time. The only bright spot was that my cousin Robby who was about my age was there. And guess what he got for Christmas? Of course the very same Sega system. He told me he got it weeks before Christmas even came. Robby and I were always highly competitive. So while the sweet smell of the pending ham dinner dissipated through the air we settled down in front of the television. With all those weeks of practice, he had on me he humiliated me. I think he set a record for goals scored in a hockey game, shot my plane down about a dozen times, and beat me all over the wrestling ring. I went home feeling worse than I did when I realized I wasn’t getting the Sega.
On the ride home my father tried to reach out to me. But I just pushed him away. The image of my wrestler I was controlling laying on the floor after about 30 seconds was burning in my mind. I sat in fit of rage in the back seat as my parents were in the front. My father turned the radio down. He told me that maybe one day I would get one. But I didn’t hear it. I wanted to tell him how Robby’s parents weren’t any richer than we, that I was the only kid that didn’t have a Sega. But all that came out at the top of my tiny lungs was I HATE YOU! And instead of saying anything after that. I just repeated I HATE YOU! Because he was driving of course he had his back to me. But we passed a street light that light up the rear view window and I glimpse of his face. Suddenly I didn’t want to yell anymore. I did not apologize either, in fact no one said anything. The car just hummed along the rest of the ride.
About two months later I got a Sega for my birthday. It funny the minute I unwrapped the gift and realized what it was, I almost had to fake excitement. Sure I spend many a night in the glow of my television going to far off lands and winning championships, but I could never take those words back. At least in a video game you are blessed with more than one life. At the time I meant the words that came out of my mouth. I hated my father as much as I hate that stupid knit cat now. One time after coming home from a fishing trip with my father after many years of those words keeping me up at night, it figured it was time to apologize. However my mouth froze, I never did. I like to think that my father knew what I was thinking. Like I said they say it’s the thought that counts. I put the rest of the ornaments in a box, and I carried them basement. I placed them in a closet we hardly used. It was full of dust and mildew. I rested the box right on top of the Sega.

"Super Sunday: The Teaser"
Somehow I pretty much missed this. The Superman Returns Teaser has been out for a weeks. IT was on during Smallville apperently and before Harry Potter in some theaters.
Anyway here it is. If that link doesnt work Simply look up SUperman Returns on IMDB an go to the view trailer section.
It's pretty kick ass. It has music from John William's score (it was used in the very first scene of the first film). It also has a voice over by the late Marlon Brando who played Jor-el in Superman: The Movie. Director Marc Singer (X-men, and X-men 2) said he used the voice over through existing footage and stuff that has been sitting around in vaults.
Thats a good sign if SUperman 2 is going to be released in a directors cut verision next year, because it could mean the scene bettween Reeve and Brando will be restored. Brando was deleted from the sequel when it was released because of a fight with the studio and director Richard Lester who replaced Richard Donner who originally was intended to direct the first two films.
Singer seems like he is pretty excited and proud to be working on a Superman film and wants to pay tribute to the original films series. I have high hopes with the cast and the hype. I can't wait for the movie.

"Richard Pryor 1940-2005"
Legendary Comedian Richard Pryor died of a heart attack in his sleep this past Saturday. He was 65. Here is a CNN article about him. It's sad, but his quality of life was terrible for the last 5-10 years so its also a blessing. Most my friends know that I was a fairly big fan of the actor/comdian. I plan to write up something in my own words going over his film carrer. BUt for now just check out the link. Also, might be a good time to talk about your fav. Pryor films and moments.

"Don't Drive So Close to Me"
I am never one to complain about cops.
However, the other day I was driving (your driving along, your driving along) and knew a cop was behind me. I saw him sitting in the parking lot. He pulls out behind me. So, since he is behind me I am making sure I am doing the speed limit.
So, what does the cop do? He rides up my ass. Now keep in mind this was a very windy night, so when I rather not have anyone that close to me since stuff was blowing around on the streets.
Anyway, I mean what am I supposed to do? If I step on it he could nail me for speeding. I also knew that that area was a big time speed trap. If he doesnt want me to speed, than dont almost touch my bumper as your driving behind me. I don't know if it ticked him off that I was doing the speed limit or what. But at least I know he couldnt give me a ticket.

Its free if you have HBO so this a great chance to relive the series and refresh yourself on what happened so far. Seeing as where its been 2 years it might not be a bad idea.

"Snow TIme"
Its hard to imagine, but its that time of year again for my blog. As I write this we are getting our first flakes of the year. This system should be done by the time most people are awake on Sunday, or have turned over to rain by than. The big issuee is Monday into Tuesday which could give us from 5-7 inches of snow. A tricky storm that dropped off a lot of the computers for almost 24 hours is now showing back up again. This could be one that sort of sneaks up on everyone.
Also, many experts think we are getting slammed next weekend with a storm. Way to early to tell but he conditions are right.
Check out Rob's Gurianos updates right here.
As for my blog. I should update a lot tomorrow. It is not like you have an Eagles game to watch or anything. Come back and check it out.

"The Sopranos"
If you are like me than you still watch the weekly Sopranos reruns religiously(tuesdays at 8pm currently season 5) and hope that Santa gives you some DVDs for Christmas. Anyway since Season 6 is still almost half a year away, why not kill time by trying to figure out what Sopranos character you are.
Take the test as a male or female if you would like. I was Paulie Walnuts.

"Finally Cold"

Anyway its getting cold. FInally.

"Penguins Crosby is the Real Deal"
I am certainly glad to see Sid "the kid" crosby living up to loft expectations set for him by the NHL. I mean before the pucked dropped on the new NHL he was on the TONIGHT SHOW. Hockey players never get on there.
Earlier tonight Crosby was really tested after getting roughed up by Derian Hatcher resulting in two chiped front teeth for the 18-yearold rookie. After taking a retaliation pentaly Crosby made up for it, buy getting two goals and an assist. Including the game winner on break away with roughly 30 seconds left in OT.
Now, granted two years ago the goal would have been illegal, but Crosby acted as if he was 10 year veteran and made all the right moves. Crosby will rule this league in two years, and catching him now is seeing the first chapter in what will really be a legendary career. Crosby is truely one of the most gifted players to enter the league in a very long time.

"Beds"
So I am in the market for a new bed, and let me tell you its a pain.
First off when you go into these bed stores they understandably make you lay down on the bed to try it out. So there I am position laying on the bed as the sales person hovers over me. Talk about power position. I have to curl up and lay on my side like I normally would in my sleep. As strangers pass me. Or even more akwardly im the only one in the store.
I sit there under the bright lights of the store laying on the same bed half of South Jersey has laid on. Trying to imagine the union that could form between my and this bed for the next decade at least. You are talking about someone who takes four trips to the store in order to pick up a new pair of sneakers. Only to end up with black sneakers that look mildly different than the pair they are replacing.
I generally have a rule not to buy anything the first time out. Kind of like when you go around the board in monopoly once before you can purchase a property.
Anyway, I lay on the bed trying to figure out if the bed is too soft , or too hard. On one hand the cloud like softness seems nice. However, I start pondering about it hurting my back, but the "firm" ones make my feel like I am sleeping on a rock.
When I do find myself enjoying the comfort of the bed it soons vanishes when I roll over and see the price tag. THe other day the sales lady was trying to tell me what a good deal it was. I wanted to tell her that it cost almost 3 times what I sold my last car for. Once she started talking about financing the bed, I knew it was out of my ballpark.
The longer it takes me to make the decision the more doubt I will have in whatever purchase I will make. Which every day that passes the level of buyers remorse that I will have increases two notches.

Trying to imagine the union that could form between my and this bed for the next decade at least. You are talking about someone who takes four trips to the store in order to pick up a new pair of sneakers. Only to end up with black sneakers that look mildly different than the pair they are replacing.
I generally have a rule not to buy anything the first time out. Kind of like when you go around the board in monopoly once before you can purchase a property.
Anyway, I lay on the bed trying to figure out if the bed is too soft , or too hard. On one hand the cloud like softness seems nice. However, I start pondering about it hurting my back, but the "firm" ones make my feel like I am sleeping on a rock.
When I do find myself enjoying the comfort of the bed it soons vanishes when I roll over and see the price tag. THe other day the sales lady was trying to tell me what a good deal it was. I wanted to tell her that it cost almost 3 times what I sold my last car for. Once she started talking about financing the bed, I knew it was out of my ballpark.
The longer it takes me to make the decision the more doubt I will have in whatever purchase I will make. Which every day that passes the level of buyers remorse that I will have increases two notches.
