Byfuglien Battles Jeremy Roenick on the Radio!!

ATLANTA!! LISTEN UP NOW!!

<--- This cro-magnon hates you! And you should feel shame. Why do you even bother with the Thrashers? They suck so bad that they think they know better than the Stanley Cup champions by playing Dustin Byfuglien on the blueline instead of at power forward.

Well, if Don Waddell's decade of bumbling wasn't enough to convince you to run as far from Philips Arena as possible without looking back, then fear not because "Dustin-Y" Byfuglien is going to defend the honour of the city of Atlanta!

SO RISE UP ATL-IENS!!

Since this interview on XM radio's NHL Live show has the potential for some interesting counter-punching rebuttals to Mr. Roenick's inflammatory comments about the Thrashers and their decision to play Big Buff at HIS NATURAL POSITION, I'm going to live-blog this media-based donnybrook!

Tune in at precisely 1:21 PM EST. It will be a "brutally good time, eh?"

-- Watching some commercials now and it makes me wish I was home on my couch.

-- And here we go: Dustin is doing well. Per Dustin.

-- Talking about summer and Stanley Cup post-season activities. Says ATL is hot!

-- Bone of contention coming up re: his D-man vs. Forward debate

-- Big Buff wants to establish himself as a D-man. Came in as a D-man and wants to be a player that can be dominant on the blueline as well as forward.

-- Enjoys defense more than forward --> talking about making the transition mentally

-- Now on to training camp discussion: good first week, getting better and better each and every day, hardest working team is their goal every night.

-- Comparison of the west to the SE Div: can't be watching the puck too much against the talent in the SE. Gotta be prepared. Duh. Softball question popped up to center.

-- Adjustment to Craig Ramsay: still learning, but its been good, gotta get the old system outta your head. Still about seeing the ice and making good decisions.

-- Talking about his day with the Cup in northern Minny....come on guys, get to the good stuff!! Booooorrrrriiiiinnnngggg! Ain't this becoming a waste of internet bandwidth!!?

-- Talking about other sports he likes / liked when in Chicago and how it compares to ATL.

-- Are you going to miss the VAN Canucks? Chuckles and giggles ensue. Gonna have to find new buildings to "terrorize"...YES! I like it, bring it Buff!

-- Now asking about eating establishments...more fluff. Now back to the Cup stuff. Jesus H.

-- I'm now wishing Craig Ferguson was doing this interview instead of these sleep-inducing morons. Thanks for absolutely nothing guys! Do you read the internet??
