I’ve decided to take the plunge and host Carnival of the NHL #12. It’ll be hard to follow up the Instant Classic that is the Jes Gölbez-hosted Carnival #11, but I’ll do my best.

The Carnival will be posted in this very space on 5 November 2005, one week after the day that Carolina Hurricanes center Eric Staal stops having to send Mike Commodore to buy beer for him at the local Stop-n-Rob. I’m looking for posts that wonder what thought processes (or lack of same) went into such things as (for example):

OLN’s TV schedule
Sean Avery and his verbal dysentery
Calgary signing Bryan Marchment
Mats Sundin’s refusal to wear a visor even though he damn near lost an eye

Und so weiter.

You have until 29 October 2005 to send stuff to acidqueen (at) streetneeds.com—that’s 9 days from today, so hop to it!
