Not to mention he is the second best shot-tipper in the game (Holmstrom).

Here's hoping Edmonton, err, Lowe, can redeem himself in the offseason and re-sign him.

And Denicalis, I'm sure Edmonton fans around the world appreciate your concern, but I'm pretty sure you are a Boston fan, meaning you have your own GM to yell at. Brad Boyes for Dennis Wideman? Sorry, but you just got robbed.

What is it with Boston management?

Hey acid, is Lowe possibly as hated right now as Jan Bulis is in Vancouver?

I'm really starting to feel sorry for you guys. Here, take Jan Bulis as a gift.



...






Please?

You hit the nail on the head, sir. I'm a Boston fan. I'm well aware that my GM sucks, and I'm so aware of it that I simply expect it now. I'll start caring again after he's gone and hope comes back.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Long story short, the Bruins are an average franchise right now, like the rest of the Original Six, stagnating thanks to a lack of creativity and ingenuity.

Absolutely. They need young ownership with a dynamic vision. But I've been black and gold since infancy, and I'm not quitting just because they're struggling right now.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I couldn't tell you, it's hard to read the name when it's fucking SIDEWAYS.

How ya doing, buddy?

Penguins ownership declares an impasse in their attempts to reach a deal on an arena in Pittsburgh and "will aggressively explore relocation."

Within the last few minutes, however, Penguins fans on a hockey board I visit say that Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato said on KDKA in Pittsburgh a deal is close.

So, basically, we won't know what's going on for sure until the Penguins sign a deal somewhere.

*crosses his fingers* Crosby, Malkin, Staal, Roberts and LaRaque in Hartford. Come on, Jesus, you fucking owe me.


(A boy can hope. If they can't stay in Pittsburgh, I want my Whalers back.)

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I know, they would probably wind up in Vegas, but could you imagine if we had the Whale back? How sweet would that be? The battle of New England back up and running, the young superstars within easy travelling distance to watch them... Hell, I'd even be cool with the Jets or the Nordiques coming back. Stop growing the brand in shitty places and bring it back to hockey markets, damnit.

FELIPE NO

Yeah. I really like the idea of Pittsburgh as a young dynasty. Y HALO THAT EARLY 90s. Also, am I the only one thinking we're in a golden era of hockey in terms of talent?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Someone with the mental capacity of fiddlegoof commenting on anything being retarded is an irony so hefty that it is impossible to miss.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Serves him right.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

You forget the magic of Ryan Smyth, sir. He's an X-Factor.... I sort of want NYI to win the cup, because fuck Edmonton, that's why.

Most amazing jew boots

What's that? I can't hear your jokes over the sounds of AWESOME.

I raise you a theme song, sir.

BRASS BONANZA LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I don't think we're fighting, I think we're agreeing that the return of the Whale is a necessity.

Most amazing jew boots

I was just about to post this for you, Dope. I'm honestly glad to hear this. Pittsburgh > Kansas City > Vegas.

FELIPE NO

Fucking Christ, Dope. Couldn't your team have just beaten NYR in regulation? Think of it as a personal goddamn favour for a team that just went from 6 to 8 back.

How ya doing, buddy?

Wait, what? Sub .500? We're 35-35-6. .500 on the nose, BEEYOTCH. That's right. *crip walks*

Also, we can call it. Boston not in the playoffs. The dream is over. As such, for the length of the NHL playoffs, I'm a Pens fan. The colours are close, and they have that talent thing going for them. However, come next season, mortal enemies again.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

His bitch? Come on, that was a pussy fight. One punch tossed, no winner.

However, yes, <3 GL.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Oh come the fuck on. It was a stupid fight. They were two of the biggest heavy weights in the league. And Brashear got hit ONCE and then LaRaque just took him down. And Brashear IS a punk bitch. That's why McSorley up and sticked him, remember?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

No, the best part was how he tapped that monkey upside the head for being all ig'nant and shit.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Oh yeah. We're ready. LOCK AND LOAD.

I was speaking idiomatically.

My Bruins are perfect so far in the playoffs; not a single loss. UNDEFEATED.

How ya doing, buddy?

Because Brodeur set a record for wins in a single season and lead the league in shutouts, I'd imagine.

Also, Boston wins the "Best Hustle" award for Phil Kessel. Wow, it's almost like the season wasn't a total write off.

Fuck... I hate hockey.

FELIPE NO
