So I finally got off my ass and gave Sam something for the Committed Indian.

Couldn't even provide him with a full column, but I gave him this (Thanks to Sam for editing out my TWO Derek Boogaard jokes - I wrote it yesterday before any games were played):

TOP 10 THINGS TO DO WHILE WAITING FOR JACK SKILLE'S FIRST GOAL

10. Learn to read Braille
 9. Read Kerry Fraser's book in Braille
 8. Explain to people that Skille didn't take a cut in pay to stay. His $600K with the Blackhawks this year beats the hell out of the $40K he made last year in Rockford.
 7. Explain the salary cap and two-way contracts to these people.
 6. Explain the salary cap and two-way contracts to ME.
 5. Make an anti-all-star team of bad Blackhawks first-round picks from the last two decades.
 4. Hang your head when you realize Skille wouldn't make this team.
 3. Start a new game called "Punch Anze", in which you drill anyone who brings up Kopitar being drafted later than Skille.
 2. Check Wisconsin's draft-eligible hockey players. Guess which one Dale Tallon will draft.
 1. Discuss the possibility of the first in-game suicide of an NHL player if John Scott scores first.
