Puck You! The Legend Returns

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.
