Loading ...I go away for a couple weeks cos of work and other non-hockey stuff, and what do I find?
Chris Cheli-ass was named the Mark Messier Leader Of The Year. Yeah, there’s a match made in Nastrond–I know I’d consider a whining cheap-shotting classless hotel-room trasher who refuses to shake hands with his opponents a real leader, there. Why not just call it the “Mark Messier Aging Asshat Award” if all Mess is going to do is pick the oldest assiest player in the League every season?
Bite me, Chief.
IN OTHER NEWS:
Cam Ward: Hot off a World Champeenships win, 3 years, 8 bills. Here’s hoping he earns that cash.
Now that the Sabres got blasted off the “BOO HOO CAROLINA STOLE OUR CUP” Bus O’ Bulldada by the Sens, I am back to loathing the Red Wings in full effect. Punks.
And speaking of the Sens: These Finals are, so far, showing the value of Finals-veteran leadership. The Ducks have plenty right now–the Sens will have plenty after this is all over. I’m still barracking for the Sens, but they have got to start burying those chances they’re getting and fast.
BTW, TSN: Going an hour away to Newport Beach and talking to a Red Wings fan who says “Durrrr, Sens in three!” != accurate gauge of fan interest in hockey. And Reuters? WTF was up with going to Disneyland and asking people about the Finals? EVERYBODY THERE IS FROM OUT OF TOWN, YOU MORONS. That’s like asking Roger from Medicine Hat if he knows who’s playing for the North Carolina 4-AAA Pop Warner title.
Fuck you very much, you elitist pricks. Just cos I’m cheering for the Sens, that doesn’t mean I gotta put up with that kind of elitist bulldada. Hockey will never grow in the southern States like I and others want it to as long as we have to deal with elitist garbage from asshats like that.
And speaking of asshats, I see that Jim Ballsillie has finally found a victim. I’m sure the Chief is wetting himself with glee at the thought of Nashville losing its team, but hopefully the fans will give Ballsillie a big middle-finger and get more than 14,000 per game–which, of course, means that Captain Patent Infringer will have to Karmanos his way out of Nashville to bring the team to Hamilton.
But it’ll be OK, of course, because the team will be going North instead of South. Yeah.
Actually, of all the failing non-traditional markets, Nashville was the last one I wanted to lose the team. They’ve got great grassroots support, decent media coverage (#2 pro game in town after the Titans), and a good atmosphere in their arena (albeit with a few chintzy expansion-team affectations, like “Fang Fingers”), even for an October matchup with Phoenix (speaking of failing markets…) with only 13K people present. It’s the business community that apparently wouldn’t do shit for them, whether it’s Leipold’s fault or their own.
But I’d have to say Wayne’s Little Toy (A Decade of Desert Dismality!) and the Sunrise Pussycats (has anyone given a shit there since 1997?) would’ve been my picks to move north long before the Preds.
(Brackets FTW!)
Man, AQ…where to start.
Ok..Chelios. Did he deserve it? Oh, I suppose not. What’s rarely mentioned? His leadership of the NHLPA. I don’t condone his not shaking hands, but as an admitted whiny bitch of a loser…I understand it.
On Bubba….screw them and screw Little Gary for even trying to place a team in that backward state. Stupidest move in LG’s storied history of stupidity.

I think you needed more “asshat” in this post. Definitely not enough asshat. Definitely.
Like cowbell, only with more feeling right?
