Poor College Student is AGAIN spending the weekend in the Ozarks. So instead, you folks get me. Sorry. Also sorry for no F-U Friday. Air your grievances here if you need to vent.

Here's a pointless story: In high school, my friend Chris inherited his older brother's car and a CD. That CD was Master P. When we would drive around like 16-year-old kids do, we would play that terrible, terrible record. It was awful. Yesterday I heard our "favorite" track and it's been stuck in my head since. So I'm sharing it with you all. Enjoy -— but you won't because it sucks.

So the Mount Puckmore series at Puck Daddy...

today was the BJs, and other than Teej’s Bitch I had never heard of any of them. I know they’ve had a short and rather pathetic life, but they’re in our division for Plager’s Sake! I suppose I never realized just how bad they’ve been.

For us, personally I think you’ve gotta go Hullie, Bobby Plager, Sutter, and Federko, but that’s just me.

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!!!"

Hull, Al Mac, Federko, Sutter

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.

Hullie, Mac, and Sudsy are required.

I’m torn between Barclay Plager and Federko for the fourth. Barc was the heart and soul of those early teams, but Bernie is still the organization’s only “home-grown” Hall of Famer.

I'd pick Barc over Bob Plager

Even though I genuflect every night to Bob’s pic, Barc was the Spark and Capitano. Then Hullie, Chopper and dayum, we only get 4?? Sutter needs to be up there with Bernie.

And for the record you’ll never see my azz at Mt. Rushmore. Desecrating a sacred indian burial ground like that is shameful.

Just a chew toy for the hockey gods
