I want a hat trick bin at the arena

I love that idea. Especially if they don’t donate them somewhere.
So, who’s gonna find out what the Blues do with theirs?

I have them all in my basement...

for experiments raising a clone army from South County sweat so it can invade AM’s mom’s house and plunder his free weights and Trans-Am. (I’ll leave it up to them as to what to do with SyPhillis, if she’s visiting).

I think the hats from the barn were eaten by rats the size of goats.

Let's go Blues!!!

We have one down here at Philips.

It’s about a quarter full, since Kovalchuk tends to score them on the road, and who the hell else is going to score them (other than Little)?

Reporter: There`s a "stamp out the Beatles movement" underway in Detroit. What are you going to do about it?

One of my roommates grew up in the same suburb as the Ferrari guy – she said he’s as big of douche as you could possibly imagine and that he’s been driving this car or some other kind for ages trying to impress people.

His website claims he’s “the most photographed man in the country. next to the president”… fucking weird..

If I do see that car driving down Michigan ave I’m throwing something at it

(whack a penguin) I remember that penguin game. haven’t played it in ages though. I liked the other one where, when you hit him, his bloody head flew off and you’d see how far it went.

(whack a Franzen) I wish I could do better at this but a laptop’s touch-pad mouse SUCKS for this game!

(Datsyuk family) he may have a funny family, but unfortunately for him, he’s just funny looking.

(hat trick hats) THANK YOU! I’ve been wondering this for ages. I was hoping they’d have them at the front door where people could get theirs back on their way out.

(hire a ferrari ride) that dude needs a nutshot just for looking they way he does in this day and age.

(Emery) I just read through my new ESPN magazine when it came yesterday and hockey writer E.J. Hradek was making predictions for next season and NAILED this one.
directly from the article:

Q. Who will mind the crease in Philly?
The Flyers’ 20-year search for a top netminder continues (Ron Hextall was their last legit minder). Last year’s flavors, Martin Biron and Antero Niittymaki (both with a 2.76 GAA) can be free agents. Whether GM Paul Holmgren wans them back is the question. Vets Nikolai Khabibulin and Dwayne Roloson are available, but they’ll be expensive for a club with cap space issues. That’s why Holmgren is considering exiled ex-Sens G Ray Emery, who spent last season in the KHL.
A. Philly has only $5M in cap space for a goalie, so the team needs to restructure or go cheap. Biron is in the mix and would love to stay in Philly, but the situation’s a mess.

something tells me he’ll fit right in with the Broadstreet Bullies
