Really?

Are you trying to be a prick by busting out the Yzerman shot? Then you add Nirvana and wreck up my gametime morning. Someone hit the emergency party button.

Weaver needs to be

the 2nd player signed right behind Steen and soon.
2 class acts that can do nothing but improve this team.

Catch everyone late tonight, baseball practice. Hold down the fort.

Less cursing? More bacon? Averagejoe gets fired for linking to the Fucking Steve Yzerman Fluke Goal of ‘96 (the 2nd most frieghtening thing from my childhood other than the villian from the Power Rangers movie) even on April Fool’s Day? I get banned for ruining his joke?

Wait, I know – MORE PUPPIES!!!

I know it's time for hockey because I've started singing "Don't Stop Believing" with the words "...born and raised in FUCK DETRIOT!!!"

Forwards
Wilson – O’Reilly -Erat
Sullivan – Goc – Hornqvist
Tootoo – Boyd – Dumont
Ward – Legwand – Smithson
Defense
Suter – Weber
Hamhuis – Franson
Bouillon – Klein

Oh, btw….whats your policy on profanity? :P

Thanks for the heads-up...

guess who else pulled a Bergie

this guy. i was supposed to be at work 25 minutes ago.

Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky was in a production of The King and I? Well anyway, before the show, Brasky chloroforms the entire cast, and slowly eats them in front of the audience for two hours. The production got pretty good reviews.
