Ryan Jones!

Ryan Jones Returns with Two-Year Deal

All was quiet on the Predators front for the last few weeks. This news should have people talking for a little while, deciding where best Mr. Locks of Love will fit into the line up every night.

I think he will perform very well if he is allowed to be consistently paired with a solid line. Like Joel Ward, he has the ability to score some timely goals. And like former Predator, now Philadelphia Flyer Scott Hartnell, this kid is great at staying in front of the net and waiting for that perfect pass.

On an obscure side note, every time I hear his name, I think back to Full House when Joey was the host of a kid's show called "Ranger Joe". It had a theme song that went "Ranger Joe, Ranger Joe, he's the greatest guy I know...Ranger Joe!" Insert "Ryan Jones" where Ranger Joe would be and he's already got his own theme song. My mind, it is a curious thing. You don't have to tell me; I already know I'm weird.

[I looked for a sample of this on YouTube but had no luck...]

  1. I have a similar song relation to Legwand's name. Listen to Flight of the Conchord's "Leggy Blonde," and you can easily see where his name could be substituted into the chorus. We need a new player/song relation in the arena since the loss of both Vokoun and Radulov.

    Great writing as always. Thanks for the updates during the long dry spell of summer.

  2. Love FoTC and you are right; his name could easily be substituted in the chorus of "Leggy Blonde".

    Don't forget the horrible "P-p-p-aul Kariya" to the tune of "My Sharona" from the 2005-2006 playoffs. PK hated it so much, he asked the Front Office to make sure it never got used again, hence why we didn't hear it in the 2006-2007 season.

    Thanks for reading!
