Oh noes! Ducks get state-mugged by the Rangers and Islanders!

Sleek's cartographic comeuppance courtesy of Dominik at the Lighthouse. Nicely done.

hey now!

Shouldn’t that be pointed a little lower ?? Don’t be messing with us up in Northern California.

Ever get the feeling we are on a collision course with reality?

Really it’s just an Orange County mugging

People who save up for a rainy day are like milk. And milk goes good with cookies, so you should have those people over for cookies.

To New Yorkers, everything west of the river is all the same.

The idea was to mug with weapon rather than violate with, uh, phallus — but haste won over forethought either way.

I think this would’ve been better with something like “HAH! That’s what you get for messing with my "big apple”!"

Fuck you, Denis Gauthier

Yeah, probably, but I can see how an Islanders fan would get rusty on the notion of gloating. Give him a few more years. :)

Touche

The big apple ref. would have been better. Dammit.

As for gloating, it’s not so much the rust — though there’s plenty of that. It’s more that any hint of gloating is immediately followed by us looking over our shoulders for the inevitable bolt of lightning. Don’t know what it is we did, but the hockey gods have been angry for a very, very long time.

Sleek originally had the “big apple” comment after the Kings and Ducks swept the Rangers and Islanders a couple years back.

Nothing like a little state comeuppance =)

It's a dynasty thing

Montreal and Edmonton have also spent most of the last 15 and 20 years, respectively, getting crapped on by the hockey gods. You get used it to it.

Ah. I will spend my evening trying to find solace in that.

I’d ask why the Habs were crapped on so gently, but I guess they have been around longer. And every time I question the hockey gods, they smite me all over again.
