Two wrongs make a right?

Every NHL team not called "The Flyers" failed to win the Stanley Cup!

(But so did the Flyers.)

I think I'm friends with each of the 8 people left in the country who care about hockey.

In other news, I called out sick yesterday. Still sick today, but no fever anymore, so I came into work. I just feel generally miserable and achy. A lovely cough, but really no other cold symptoms. It's great, I tell you!

I heard that the people responsible for officially handing out the Stanley Cup (whatever organization they might be) were trying to break its ties to the NHL for this year and try to give it away in an alternate hockey league tournament. It's a disagreement over the wording of their contract by which the Stanley Cup must be awarded yearly to the most worthy, and the language that the "most worthy" must be in the NHL is debatable. Is that true?

If it is, this is the first I've heard of it. I really doubt it, but if it's true, it would make for quite the story...

The Post says no.

Yeah, I mean, you and the other high school guys really like hockey. So every time a sportswriter asks, "The NHL season is on the ropes, but do the fans care?" or whatever, I'm like, "Did you even talk to my friends? I think not!"

I love hockey. I breathe hockey. But I'm really pissed off at the NHL right now. Although my team did a pretty good rendition of Philadelphia hockey last night- we racked up 40min of penalties (only 1 misconduct and no majors). Yeah.... so guess whether we won or not.

Are you Pat(sy) by any chance?

And yeah... Fucking NHL bastards. I was actually marginally hopeful for a minute there when the PA offered a 50 mil cap, and the owners countered with a 42.5... but no... they had to be all uppity. Fucking owners. Fucking players. I hope they all die and are reborn as pious servants of a grateful nation working for our gratitude. or something like that.


Bleh.

I would indeed be Pat(sy/ricio/rick/dude).

I still am stuck with the rotting taste in my mouth and the impression that the whole farce surrounding last-minute offers was nothing more than a PR campaign to establish who "tried harder." That is, of course, if trying not at all can be considered harder than anything.

It would be most appropriate if they were reborn as pucks. All of them. It would be most satisfying to take repeated slapshots at Bettman and Goodenow pucks.
