The Consumerist just posted about the new PS3 controller, This Is Either A Sex Toy Or The New PS3 Motion Controller. I laughed at the comment “I’d be wary buying a used one, that’s for sure….”

All the same, unless the game that comes bundled doesn’t suck (pun intended ) I’ll probably pick one up.

Don’t worry, I’ll buy it new.

Do you hate this question in job interviews? Joseph Lewis sure does.

In fact, he thinks it’s a pointless question considering any future presented in science fiction is pretty much a possibility and in many of those timelines, where you are relative to the world is irrelevant.

Consider a Star Wars world. Have can be part of either an “evil corporate empire with a rigid bureacracy and a strict dress code or rag tag fleet of rebel freelancers who are pretty informal and accepting of diversity.”

That is only one of many possible outcomes for this world. We could see ourselves in Back to the Future, Terminator, Planet of the Apes, The Matrix or even Starship Troopers. I will do any Neil Patrick Harris says. Haha.

Check it out. It’s witty.

Thank you Fred.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere

It just crossed my mind why Jean-Sebastien Giguere is a great fit for the Leafs. Experience. Obvious, I know. But here’s why.

The Leafs have been playing all season with two young aspiring netminders who have had an incredibly inconsistent season. Wilson had the Leafs defense working hard to keep the puck from reaching the net. (In fact, the defense was practically forbidden from entering the attack zone.)

Unfortunately the puck always eventually gets through.

And when it did, all it would take would be a sharp shooter or a good rebound to put the puck in the net.

Now that Giguere is there that same hard-working defensive mentality is there, but when the offense reach the net, they aren’t facing a rookie. They’re facing a Venza-winning Stanley Cup goaltender who is ready for both the first shot and the second shot.

Now Giguere has 60 saves in back-to-back shut-outs.

Early in the season Burke made a trade that many Leafs fans were excited about but that created much discontent. Phil Kessel for a first and second round draft pick in 2010 and a first round draft pick in 2011.

Many people felt it was too much to sacrifice, but I disagreed. The Leafs have an extremely youthful team, Wilson says “the youngest team in the league”. The average age is 26.5 years old (as of today’s trade) compared to the league average of approximately 28 years of age. In other words, the Leafs are not disparate for youth.

Additionally the point of a team picking up an early draft pick is the chance that a perspective player will become a star. The Leafs have traded the chance to obtain a star for an actual goal-scoring stud.

Sounds great to me.

Today Burke made some welcomed announcements. Two big trades that resulted in the movement of ten players with Calgary and Anaheim.

The Leafs have lost four of their offensemen in exchange for a stronger back end. While I am not sure what Burke’s plans are to fill in the forward lines after this trade (perhaps make room for Bozak, Hanson, or Kadri) I’m impressed with the defensive mix up.

It has been said that Burke led the Ducks to a Stanley Cup victory by building from the netminder out. In Anaheim he built a team with Giguere, Beauchemin, Niedermayer and Pronger.

Now he is doing much the same thing in Toronto. Giguere is a Stanley Cup championship goaltender who, if he cannot offer wins, he can offer mentorship to Jonas Gustavsson. Despite Gustavsson’s losing record he has exhibited incredible potential.

Giguere has not been doing well in Anaheim, but he did not want to play there and even threatened retirement unless he was given more action. He will certainly get that in Toronto.

In terms of the blueline, the Leafs now have Karbele, Phaneuf, Komisarek, and Beauchemin as well as World Junior champion Keith Aulie. With any luck it will be more challenging for opponents to put the puck in their net.

In terms of their offense, the Leafs never really had talented goal-scorers anyways. What they had was Ron Wilson’s shoot-and-get-as-many-rebounds-as-you-can dirty style of scoring, which is brilliant when you don’t have the talent to put it in the net.

To top it off, the Leafs can now make a push for the playoffs. While getting a slot may be near impossible, they have nothing to lose in terms of draft picks as their first and second pick for next season goes to Boston.

I am sure that Burke is now formulating a plan to get stronger skaters to meet Kessel at the front lines, but until then we will have to see how this current mix-up will affect the Leafs ability to win games.
