Golfing in May…that’s my favorite.

Those are awesome. Love all of them.

Golfing in May is also my favorite. The poor Sharks.

Although if memory serves, the Sharks did make the Western Conference Finals in 2004, but lost to the Flames.

I think California sodomizing Illinois to be far more amusing.

Maybe I’m just biased being in New York though.

Your cartoons and cut-and-paste is pure quality.
Earl or Rudy, where do I find your article about the Ducks using penalties to control the game and overwhelm the officials?
I believe that was employed by Quinn in the WJC game the other night and I want to get a link to the article.

Cheers.

You guys know what’s really scary? Through this post, I managed my way to the absolute best cartoon in ths history of the BoC:

God, that was fucking awesome!!

Brian Hayward is Sports Illustrated’s NHL Color Analyst of the year for 2008? Are you shitting me?

Never go to SI for anything remotely about hockey, I guess.

Looks like Perry’s taking a page from Pronger’s book.

Excellent stuff Sleekster. My favorite would definitely have to be “A Moment of Silence”. Nothing like a laugh to get you threw the hard times.

If we’re running through memory lane, I remember you talking about Battlestar Galactica as consuming you for a period of time. I just picked up this game Mass Effect for 360, and it’s right up your alley. If you have 30 bucks to spare (it’s about a year old, got marked down) definitely pick it up. Epic storyline, excellent character expansion, and it’s due to be a trilogy (with 2 coming out in 09 and 3 slated for late this year or early 2010).

The best part about it is the decisions you make in the game (which are a lot of them) affect the universe in 2. It takes your saved game file and uploads all of the information. So if you kill a creature or have bad relations with a species, that will be translated to your entire trek.

Besides being a giant homer (like EVERY color analyst is, don’t lie, you know it’s true, that’s their JOB – I don’t know why everyone acts like Hayward is the only one that does it), Hayward is actually a pretty good color analyst. The job of the color guy is to provide insights into the game, and the players, and on ice strategy etc. If you’ve watched/listened to feeds of other teams, some of the color guys around the league are HORRIBLE.

They provide no insight, no analysis of the on ice plays, no prior experience to draw on. Hell, take NBC, Edzo what’s his face and that stupid bald guy they have in between the benches are absolute crap as color guys.

In fact, I think SoCal has 2 of the better color guys around. Jim Fox is just as big of a homer, but like Hazy, he has lots of good tidbits of info on the players and the coaches, and despite his annoying way of ending his sentences, he’s pretty good.
