Puck You! The Legend Returns

Bwahahahahahaha
Continuing my anti-Canucks campaign, I've started wearing my Canucks jersey to work the day following any Canucks loss, just to mock the many, many Canucks fans in the office.

Three Puck Yous
Okay, I finally bit the bullet and decided to post some stuff.
I had a good rant or two going last week, but I've since forgot. The only thing I remember from it is that my first "Puck You" of the season goes to whatever retard decided a shootout should be how ties are decided.
Sure, there are 2o guys (19 I guess, not counting the backup goalie) who play for 65 minutes, work their butts off for two points, but hey - let's leave it up to a breakaway contest with three guys to decide the fate of the game. I just think it's stupid, regardless of how exciting it is. Why not a fight contest? or a race from blueline to blueline? Hell, just flip a damn coin.
Stupid.
My second Puck You goes to Thrashers' coach Bob Hartley, for sending his goons out in the final minute of an embarrassing 6-0 ass-kicking loss to Tampa. Eric Boulton ended up crushing some unsuspecting player with an elbow, giving him a concussion (But no broken back, so it's OK). Lose with some dignity and class you idiot. And he's got a history of it too - one of his old, now-retired Colorado players, Keith Jones, said on The Score the other day that "That's how he coaches. He's a goon coach."
And a dumb ass. Puck You Hartley!
And third, and finally, Puck You Calgary Flames.
Just because.
G0 'Nucks.

um, hello.
9-1 over atlanta on friday?
3-2 over montreal on saturday?
didn't see friday's game, but saturday's game was seen with lots of beer and wings (in a bar that i will never go back to because the waitress was a douchebag, but thats besides the point). third period was a little intense, but thankfully belfour was in fine form. i still have a problem with him leaving the net so much, even with these new boundaries behind the net, especially since thats why montreal scored the first goal -- belfour was behind the net, shot the puck STRAIGHT TO A CANADIAN who then was able to score, because belfour wasn't IN THE NET. the lines help, but apparently belfour still has some wandering tendancies that need to be controlled. maybe electroshock therapy would help?
lindros is doing pretty good. to take the words of the cbc screen that flashed up during a downtime, "LINDROS: worth the gamble SO FAR". haha. then it had a bunch of stats on it.
a good game. i enjoyed it.
now, off to bed.

Some interesting hockey so far.
- Niclas Wallin scoring on his own net.
- David Aebischer randomly PUNCHING A GUY IN THE HEAD and getting a minor penalty, which the other team scored the winning goal on
- The Calgary Flames are.....sucking.
- Sean Avery. Oh, Sean Avery.
- Tie Domi has more goals than Todd Bertuzzi, Jarome Iginla, Joe Thornton, Martin St. Louis, Joe Sakic, Peter Forsberg...the list goes on.

i promise as soon as the cbc starts airing leafs games, i'll post about them. my parents have satellite, and we don't get TSN, and thus, no hockey for me. so sad.
i will say this: shootouts can kiss my ass. and leafs will be lucky to make it to the playoffs this year.
also, sundin out after the first 7 minutes of the first game? THESUCK!!

Anyone remember that jackass Alexander Perezhogin? Al wrote about him in May 2004 (link here.) He's the jackass who while in the AHL baseball-swung his stick and hit another player in the face, causing immediate unconsciousness and on-ice convulsions. Well, Perezhogin's now in the NHL, playing for Montreal. He scored his first NHL goal tonight against the Rangers. Good to see the league cracking down on the black marks on hockey's record.

THE NHL IS BACK! And so the legendary Puck You NHL Rant commentary returns WITH A VENGEANCE. The Puck You awards, let's leave those until the Playoffs...there's not nearly enough room on the side there to list a puck you for every game. If you feel there's a player deserving one in a regular season game, just post about them.
