David Pratt and Don Taylor are off the air! Well, for one day at least. The co-hosts of the popular radio show on the TEAM 1040 got into an argument on Monday that lead to David Pratt throwing down his microphone which was followed by 12 minutes of commercials and then a previously taped interview. Afterwards, Pratt returned, without Taylor. On Tuesday, both were given the day off in order to “cool off”. Both, apparently, are to return to the air today at 3:00pm. If you ask me, both are acting a bit like radio divas, as the argument was centred around the comparison of Tom Watson’s accomplishments at the British Open, to 75 year old poker champion Doyle Brunson. My two cents: interesting comparison, poker requires mental strength, golf requires mental AND physical strength.

***UPDATE*** Pratt and Taylor went to air on Wednesday and all appeared to be forgiven. They did not make mention of the pissing contest that happened on Monday until a caller made mention of it. They downplayed the incident and the show went on as normal.

Kyle Wellwood’s arbitration case is around the corner and I believe there is a high chance that the Canucks will walk away from the deal if he is awarded too much. The Canucks will probably walk away from anything nearing $2 million but if I had to guess, I think he’ll get in the neighbourhood of $1.5 million.

That’s right! It’s time for another Canuckz.com TWITTER TRACKER! Today’s edition looks at the best tweets from the FAKE Twitter account of Kyle Wellwood:

• Eagles + Moosehead = good off season. true story.
• It took me 14 tries to type proportional on T9 in that last update.
• The size of your stick is not proportional to anything else. althoug maybe inversely to how awesome i am.
• salary arbitration fun fact number one: I deserve more money. true story.
• god damn the canucks sure Love us ex leafs players, ugh. i mean, hey Raycroft My old fwend!
• I think Don Cherry has a crush on me.
• Does anyone know the special Seasoning for KFC chicken? Paying 200$ for it.

Just a few thoughts about some of the rumours we’ve heard in the last few days about free agency. With rumour blogs such as Eklund / countless twitter accounts, Canuckz.com asks: what stories have they really broken? Here’s a few snippets of rumours from Eklund on the day before free agency began:

• Ohlund to LA, NJ, or Anaheim (or maybe a real surprise)

• Knuble will re-sign with Philly

• Hossa will be a domino after Heatley decides if he wants to go to Edmonton or NY

• Cammalleri will sign with Buffalo, Nashville or Toronto

• The Sedins will sign in Montreal

• Komisarek will sign in NJ or the New York Islanders, but don’t rule out a return to the Habs

• The Hawks will attempt to move Huet and bring back Bulin

• Havlat will not be signed today, but will likely end up back in Chicago

• The Wild will get in on Hossa and make another play for Heatley (and possibly Vinny)

• The Islanders will make a play for a major player as well. if not Komisarek, maybe Ohlund

• Kaberle to Boston for Kessel will be revisited

So yeah, not right on a SINGLE rumour! The only things he kind of predicted correctly were vaguely predicting that the Rangers would spend their money (duh!), and that the Thrashers would sign some players unexpectedly (what exactly does that mean?). You’d think if he was just making up stuff that he’d be able to guess better than that!

And what about the Twitter accounts? Darren Dreger’s Twitter has been popular, but is he telling us anything that TSN.ca isn’t already? Same goes with Daren Millard’s “tweeting” from Sportsnet. Even Eklund is on Twitter (apparently Kaberle is on his way to Vancouver, but don’t hold your breath). Jason Botchford’s tweets told us about Gaborik buying a home in West Vancouver, who knows how true that is now that he will be living in New York. But my favourite “tweets” are the fake accounts such as Tony Gallagher and Bob McKenzie. Here are the best of the fake tweets:

Fake Tony Gallagher

• Deal is definetly done; Will be on the Province website within the hour

• Going on the TEAM to announce the deal

and then after Tony Gallagher went on the TEAM to say that he’s not on Twitter even though someone has an account pretending to be him…

• A Tony Gallagher impersonator has been on the Team claiming that this is not my account. As a newspaper man I would never fall for such lies

“Newspaper man”?! That’s classic!

Fake Bob McKenzie

• Come tmrw, expect Komisarek to go to the Capitals, Koivu to join Selanne in Anaheim and Dave Hodge to come to work drunk. Ha, I kid

• While I love Babcock, I’m worried that he’ll forget how to coach a CDN player after being in Detroit so long. Ha.

• The Williams sisters advance to the Wimbledon final again!!! Am I the only one who finds Serena irresistibly sexy?

• Has anyone tried Taco Bell’s new Volcano Taco? I had 3 or 4 for lunch. They’re delicious, but the TSN bathroom resembles Pompei, Italy now

I love the way fake Bob McKenzie laughs.. Ha! Now, if that didn’t satisfy your daily Twitter fix, check this out (it’s one sweet tweet):
