Worst Idea Ever Continues: Round Two

Need another reason to hate them? I don't know what compels me to spout stupid ideas off every time they hit my beer-weakened brain, but I really need to install some sort of filter that keeps the dumbest of the dumb ideas from being uttered. Especially around that Brad Lee.

I really do root against the Red Wings, but not in such an active manner that I actually watch their games. In fact, I spend more time actively avoiding all things Detroit and their hockey team than I ever would spend learning about them. I mean, any time I do hear something about Detroit, it's usually more depressing than your average amount of depressing. Even God hates Detroit.

So I'm really regretting agreeing to this ridiculous plan of rooting against the Wings until they are eliminated.

To be honest, I thought that whenever they ran up against the Ducks or the Sharks, the Wings were toast. Even if they managed to get past one of those teams, they'd be so beaten down that the other one would surely finish off the ancient Wings.

Well, the Ducks, we now know, suck. And the Sharks haven't exactly been as impressive as, well, as real sharks in California have been lately. I think even the Flames would have given them a hard time, but they're gone now, too. And I don't think the Avalanche have the ability to beat the Wings in seven games. And I don't think the Stars can do it either.

Suddenly, the road to the Stanley Cup Finals looks a lot easier for the Wings that I thought it would be.

Fuck.

Heading into Game 2 with a loss under their belt and an inevitably broken Peter Forsberg in the press box (seriously, didn't everyone know this was coming? The guy pulled his own groin again? How fucking brittle can one man be?), the Avs are being forced to look to admitted Propecia abuser Jose (still not Hispanic) Theodore to start playing like Patrick Roy to help them beat a stronger Detroit team. By the way, Patrick Roy lost to the Red Wings in his last playoff game before retirement, so they might want to start using a different example.

Yuck. Besides, Patrick is too busy trying to launch his kid's "music" career. Which seems like will be taking quite a bit of effort.

Go Avs?

Great pic of Uncle Joey, but personally I could never bring myself to cheer for the Avs.

On an unrelated topic, at espn.com the Blues are ranked surprisingly high on a fan satisfaction list of organizations from the four major sports. They are rated third among NHL teams and 14th among all teams teams based on things like Affordability, Fan Relations, Ownership, Player Effort, and Bang for the Buck. Thought somebody might be interested. Here’s a link if you are-

os of money, prices have been raised a bit, prob raised some more, plus the team started out hot, but if you look through the history of those things, hockey generally does ok compared to the baseball, basketballs, etc of the world. not sure why per se, but it always has at least held its own.

i uspsect since it is self ranked, the average hockey fan is more a hockey fan than a baseball fan. how many of us hockey fans watch baseball and/or football, or whatever that sport is with the big brown ball? they ask me about my baseball or football satisfication, they going to get some bad words :)

Good God, Patrick Roy’s kid is an incredibly horrible musician.

I think I may have turned just a little gay from listening to about 30 seconds of that crap… good thing Mrs. GTPD will be home in an hour to “straighten me out.”

To Patrick Roy:

Reggie Dunlop: You know, your son looks like a fag to me.

Anita McCambridge: I beg your pardon?

Reggie Dunlop: You better get re-married again, or he’s gonna have someone’s cock in his mouth before you can say Jack Robinson.

Anita McCambridge: How dare you! How dare you!
