Today, we begin a new quest, for a new year.

After the success of Banjo Quest 2006, I realized I may have set my goalpost far too low. And, all kidding aside, the Cadillac Escalade Quest 2007 is realistically likely doomed to failure....

So, I am turning my energies to something far more noble, far more beneficial to the world at large, instead of my own selfish desires (if someone were inclined to support Cadillac Escalade Quest 2007 though, I favour one in burgundy tones...).

So, here we go. Now that we live in a progressive Canadian city that already has one of (if not) the best damn NHL teams in existence, I propose that my quest for 2007 will be a campaign to Move The Penguins To Winnipeg!!

Now, hear me out. No slight to Pittsburgh, but all those long-suffering fans in Winnipeg, devoid of their Winnipeg Jets NEED a professional hockey team, not just a farm team from some West Coast (OK, Vancouver) pretenders. Winnipeg needs a team again, even if it is penguins.

They may have to rethink the logo though. That bird isn't the most frightening caricature to ever appear on hockey jerseys. The new (Winnipeg) owners would need to take a page from junior hockey, and maybe put a frightening, intimidating mask on the penguin. And bulk him up a bit. I see a lot more blubber than muscle there, personally.

So, there you have it folks. For 2007, I need ALL of you, even the well-intentioned but ultimately doomed Vancouver Canuck fans, to support Move The Penguins To Winnipeg, 2007.

Chow for now!!

Canuck bashing?? Sheesh, some people are SOOOO sensitive.

All I meant to say there is that just like on "Deal Or No Deal", where some of the top prizes have to be eliminated eventually, so is Vancouver's dance with first place ultimately doomed.

Hey, come on, they're in the same conference as The Flames, who clearly will end up with the top spot in the division!!

Although, admittedly, when your goaltender takes a puck in the throat, and still pulls a shutout from his heinie....
