Belated appreciation shown

Recent press clippings from The Green Engines interview with The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, where it was implied the St. Louis Blues franchise had obviously not yet received the flowers sent.

"We're glad to have helped out Boston," the Blues GM told the paper, "for if we had not offered on Tim Connolly - which led the Bruins to match the offer - Connolly would still be a holdout. We're disappointed, though, that Boston did not express their appreciation. Quite rude, I say, quite rude."

When the statements were relayed to Boston GM Joshua Anderson, he expressed shock. "We sent a card and I asked my secretary to send flowers. She will be reprimanded if she failed to follow through on this task."

When asked how he will atone for the transgression, Anderson stated "Well, we owe him an original thank you, and now we obviously need to make up for hurt feelings. Extreme random acts of kindness, I believe, are in order."
