Thank You San Jose! Sharks Crush Wing Fans, Except For One Guy...

PrintThank you, Sharkies. Now we need a little more help: you're going to have to knock off either the hated Blackhawks or the somewhat less hated Canucks. We promise we might root for you in the Finals if you do this for us.
In honor of the Sharks' win, we give you a photo of their newest fan. It's not often that you can pinpoint the exact moment that a guy leaps off of one bandwagon straight onto the awaiting deck of another bandwagon, but we did it tonight.
I wonder if this dude threw his red jersey in the trash and then stopped off at the Sharks' pro shoppe to pick up his new Heatley 15 jersey before heading home to see how 'his Yankees' did tonight.

I love this pic.
I saw it happen, shot a photo and immediately emailed it to the Fear the Fin guys and to Wysh at Puck Daddy. It sums up everything I’ve been saying about Wing fans since, well, since forever.
Sure, I'll go ahead and do a recap of the last five years of what I've written on this site for you.
Or you could instead do a search on the site; it’ll become apparent pretty quickly what I think.
Or feel free to try to bait me instead.
Or feel free to go hang your head with the other Wing fans… elsewhere.

Oh, and it’s always a pleasure to help out the SLGT crew.

I think it's A2M
creating a false identity just to troll with one lame comment.
Dude can’t even troll as himself. Loser.

So that would be a troll in troll's clothing?
Reporter: There`s a "stamp out the Beatles movement" underway in Detroit. What are you going to do about it?
Paul McCartney: We`re going to start a campaign to stamp out Detroit.
Thanks, Hildy,
tried to think about that and my brain shut down.

You have no idea how right you are.
Two more weeks… two more weeks… I have never been so ready to not see a teenager in my entire life, and that is really saying something.

Paul McCartney: We`re going to start a campaign to stamp out Detroit.
If you're trollin' and you know it, clap your paws...
And that would be?
Basically, that you’re all a bunch of whiny, bandwagon-jumping, Yzerman-fellating, rancid-ass-sucking pukes.
Was that the summary you were looking for?
Ass.

Speaking of eulogies...
anychance Sean and/or Brad is doing the Wings one this year? Sean’s Blackhawks eulogy was a riot last year, but I’d love a Game Time view on the Wings loss.
In other words, even if they’re not, can there be one here anyway?
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!!!"

Maybe he was supposed to be like that guy at Arrowhead Stadium,,,
… the guy who always shows up wearing the visiting team’s jersey — with a bunch of arrow shafts sticking out of it.
Maybe this guy just forgot to add the shark’s teeth.
Ahhh, fuckit. It’s easier to just accept that he’s Yet Another Wing Douche.
YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUCK THAT DOUCHEBAG!
And as I noted in a links thread earlier this week, you all get a special treat from me. I was going to do it tomorrow, but now you get it Monday since I ain’t gonna step all over B-Wied’s toes for Prospect Sunday. We don’t roll like that in Macoupin County.
FUCK DETROIT!
St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.
And on puck daddy
All the red wings can do is cry about the refs. Because watching the wings not get called for the dozen times they straight up grab someone every playoff game or the blatant dives that we have laughably come to expect over the last dozen years isn’t even noticeable for red wing fans but not getting a power-play advantage is somehow a mad conspiracy because Bettman totally has it in for them!
He raged at the world, at his family, at his life. But mostly he just raged.
Just because Jay McClement is the best defensive forward in the NHL doesn't mean he should win the Selke.
Half of those whiners...
… can’t figure out why Precious Stevie didn’t dress in this series.
The other half are still pretty confident that the Wings can win the series in Game 6.
You're welcome!
Thanks for the support guys! I’m definitely down to root for you guys in future years!

If we're reduced to backing teams that have beaten the Blues in the Cup final...

Put me down for the B's
I was a fan of the Big Bad Bruins back in the day and still root for them for some reason.
Just a chew toy for the hockey gods
Awesome!!!
Great thing to wake up to on what has basically been a shitty weekend.
Just have the Blackhawks lose…

We're doing Chicago again.
Didn’t get asked to do the Wings. Our options were Hawks or Preds.
Uh, yeah. Hawks, please.

It’s like Wyshynski doesn’t want the single greatest eulogy ever. Well, assuming DGB and Bloge Salming don’t team up for the Habs Eulogy

Oh, but TLP had a damn good Wings eulogy today.
I’m sure that there was a reason this wasn’t posted on Puck Daddy… I don’t think that Yahoo’s servers could handle the massive amount of whining this would generate: A Lament for Henrik Zetterberg
I laughed my ass off. I think it’s great how Wings fans can’t admit that it’s ok to recognize that their team is a solid team and not want to marry them every fucking season. He’s already getting some bitchy comments. I wonder if A2M pays people to troll.

A2Y would probably have a 20 page essay about how much of a dick Lambert is. He’s probably still writing it right now

Dibs that shit next year!
Unless, of course, the Wings don’t make the playoffs next year – which I’d be perfectly fine with!

preds would've been fun
i mean, dan ellis read it and called out lambert via twitter. couldve been great exposure for us.
Fan ta Detroit.
That is all.
