The NHL Is Dumb

I may have a stupid record but my wife is HOT.

The headline for this post probably isn't a revelation. We all know the TV contract sucks. We all know the league-wide overhaul of the uniforms hasn't gone smoothly. We know Gary Bettman still has a job. But making up fake records and pretending anyone gives a rat's ass is a new low.

Dallas Stars center Mike Modano became the all-time leading scorer born in the United States with two goals in San Jose last week. That's him up above holding the puck that broke the record that no one cares about, mainly because it's a contrived record by a guy who isn't the best American player in NHL history.

You see, there was a young man named Brett Hull who used to play in these parts. He was shootin' and smilin' and scored 741 goals and totaled 1,391 points during his career. His mother was an American citizen giving him dual citizenship in the U.S. and Canada. But he was born north of the border. That means he can't hold the title of "Top Scorer Born in the United States," which is exactly what the banner behind Modano doesn't say.

First of all, who the hell said, "When Modano becomes Captain America, we need a big-ass sign behind him. And then he can hold up the puck for a picture and kids from Miami to Los Angeles will be able to look up at him as a U.S.-born hero." Second of all, by calling Modano the Top American Scorer, the league is fucking lying. Modano even alluded to it when talking with The Province newspaper in British Columbia:

"I suppose if Hullie had been American born I'd still be chasing those numbers he put up," says Modano while chuckling about his outspoken, flamboyant teammate... "But he's just a transplant."

Â Yeah, keep thinking that, Modano. You seem to be really proud of claiming a title by technicality, a title we admit no one cares about. But at least Modano has something going for him, a really hot wife named Willa Ford who posed for Playboy.

Do your own Google search for the nekid pics.

Nice arm band tatto you skank. Ugh, why mess up a nice piece of real estate like this gal with a bad tattoo. That’s like putting a Blackhawks sticker on my ’84 Camaro.

Fuck Brett Hull. Yeah I said it. And fuck Mike Modano too. Neither of them ever owned any record that really matters. Top US scorer is a stupid arbitrary record that no one gives a shit about. How about All-Time leading Capricorn scorer? Brett Hull only chose to play for team USA after he tried out for team Canada and they told him to fuck off because he wasn’t good enought to make their team. And while you boo all the players that the Blues have TRADED over the years, don’t forget Hull chose to leave as a free agent.

Sorry but you all are stupid and have no idea. Brett Hull is more Canadian than he is American. The only reason he plays the American card now is because Team Canada didn’t want him because he wasn’t good enough but the American’s took him because they need all they can get. Let’s face…America hasn’t produced any really good hockey players and the only reason Modano is soo good is because he played his junior career in fucking Canada.

Sorry but Modano is an amazing hockey player. I am Canadian and I can say that. Brett Hull is a total douche bag puck hog and yes, he is a transplant. Just because you hold dual citizenship doesn’t make you full American. He was a Canadian. Enough said. Stop your crying, you bunch of babies.

Hey “Modanogirl” (nice e-mail address), way to respond to a post more than two months late. Too bad no one’s going to read about how you think Modano is a good player because he went north for juniors. What the hell does that have to do with anything?

I know why Hull chose to play for the U.S. And later when he had a choice, he stayed with the Americans. And way to criticize a guy with more than 700 career goals and 1,300 career points. Yeah, he sucked.

Face facts, Modano has his name on the Cup because of Hull. And the Golden Brett got his name on it without Modano.

It’s funny when Canadians get all defensive and holier than thou when it comes to having opinions on hockey. I’m surprised more douche bags from the Great White North don’t come around to give us a hard time about not really knowing the sport.
