What kind of blithering idiot was offended by Panger's slip of the tongue?

Seriously, I’m asking.

Some people really need to get themselves a life.

Holy cow

Are there actually people complaining about this?

Not afraid to nitpick

Remember when that one reported who called a blind guy who climbed mount everest gay twice. White and right sound a lot alike, and besides Pietrangelo is a beast and Panger should get a complete pass just because of Petro.

Way back when the Interwebz forums were getting started in the mid 90s

A couple of us had a run in with a moderator over huge signature image files. Everyone was using28K modems back then so 1Meg image files were killing us and we asked that they be held to 25K as per the forum rules. Mr. Moderator was a Canadian and he instantly labeled me as anti Canadian since his buddy was one of the goofs using the huge image files.

I cracked up and asked him to explain why a Canadianphobe like me would be skating and drinking afterward with a team of Canucks at the local rink. Why as a child I would beg my mom and dad to take me to hockey schools in Canada etc etc.

He had no answer. Some folks toss the race/bigot card when they have no clue what they are doing.

Just a chew toy for the hockey gods

Wow

I have to say I think the same way.

Hail to the Blues

Mmmmmm

Warning includes not only Backes pics…there’s also Petro & Vodka pics in there too. JennJenn likes it a lot! :)

And please…warning in that situation means “make sure you take a look!”

Regardless, thanks for sharing!!!

Put your big girl panties on and deal with it!

I had to laugh a little

At Bergs in that hat. I have a major soft spot for him.
And I agree, ‘make sure you take a look’ is right.

JD is always so forthright and honest in his interviews.

Hmm…“Commissioner Davidson” has a pretty nice ring to it…

Only after, of course, he helps secure a couple of Cups for the Note.

The only way that life would be fair for the Kane - Oshie ankle injury situation...

Oshie breaks his ankle.

Kane spains his ankle but breaks his jaw.

by Paperwork Ninja on Dec 8, 2010 10:13 AM CST reply actions

Captain Seriously A Douchebag would be MOST displeased...

…if Twenny Cent’s jaw was broken.

See if you can guess why…

Huh, random note

But I’m pretty sure the guys on the fast lane refrenced this site today. Specifically, they asked on air why their was a Backes warning for the ladies.

Not a name mention or anything, just found it odd they apparently checked this site for hockey info.

Louis CK is fucking awesome

he is my favorite comedian

First they thought I was ASD, and then ADHD, and after a few years of having MD, they told me that I am probably EI. But all I know for sure is that I have TS... Fuck it, just call me alphabet soup.
