East is East, and West is West, but Stupidity Lost its Compass

Five and counting.

We can add the president of the Radek Bonk Fan Club, the Ottawa Sun's Bruce Garrioch to the mix of "Trouble In DC" commentators. In this morning's Sun, he opines on the matter of an "insulting" offer to Ovechkin by GM George McPhee, attributed to "sources." Given the tight-lipped behavior of the Caps front office on, well...everything, we're guessing the source was the parking attendant at Ballston Common.

Meanwhile, out west, the attention is on Calgary defenseman Dion Phaneuf, who Bellicose Bruce says Calgary is having trouble signing.

At least Blowhard Bruce didn't actually pen the word "trade" with respect to either player. But if you're looking to entertain yourself with some wild-eyed trade possibilities, head here, and type in "Alexander Ovechkin" to see some deals worthy of the goofy speculation oozing its way across the Internet.
