Booyah!

I was trying to think of who I enjoyed seeing in anguish the most last night but I just couldn't narrow it down to one person.

Corey Perry?  No, not really, because he's just a douche bag and not really worth carrying about.

Chris Pronger?  Yeah, it felt pretty good seeing his look of "I'm pretending I don't care even though I really, really do," although you kind of get the feeling that he only cares about himself so it's not that satisfying.

Jonas Hiller?  That felt surprisingly good because I think if I had gone up to him and said, "Oh what, you're going to cry now?  Go on, crybaby, shed those tears.  I know you want to.  Think about it, you cost your team this series.  It's all your fault, so cry you big baby," he would have cried. 

Scott Niedermayer?  No, just because this means he has to shave.

 

But really, it was the collective torment that I reveled in the most: the collective anguish filled my body like a smooth shot of whiskey or a big, fat cock.  (Wait, what????)  I lose sight of the fact that Anaheim players are sacks of shit because Earl's so level-headed and my roommate is a Ducks' fan, but Jesus H. Christ does that team suck.  I'd rather be between a mother bear and her cub than watch the Ducks win another Stanley Cup.  I'd rather bone a hobo while my grandmother watched disapprovingly and critiqued my form.  ("You have to push with your hips, Jerome!"  "It's Rudy, Grandma!"  "Don't sass me, boy!")  I'd rather... well, I'd rather cheer for a team that never, ever makes the playoffs again.

So yeah, the Ducks lost... let's party!

Uh ...

Rudy … dear … you don’t think it’s too early for this post?? Even I know better than to dance on a grave when it has a fresh body in it.

And again, regarding this big, fat cock you keep speaking of – until there is a pic, it’s all lies.

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

I decided that we were being too nice around here; I mean, it’s called “Battle of California,” for fuck’s sake.

The West Coast is the Best Coast.

well given that logic, guess I will vote … :)

I voted for Earl because it was funny, but he had no large amount of anguish.

I don’t know how you can put up a 7-6 winning record against the two top seeds and feel anguish. I feel pretty damn good. I was figuring on getting swept by San Jose.

I thought for sure they would make it passed the Sharks.. no offense Sharks fans… and was nervous when the my Wings got them for round 2.

People really despise Carlyle more than Pronger or Perry? Poll results surprised me, at least.

I don’t remember seeing Carlyle display any anguish. Though it’s hard for my eyes to focus through the prism of tears.

How about Kopitar’s anguish of, once again, having to watch the playoffs from his home and the satellite tv mounted to his golf cart?

You don’t play golf or watch TV when you’re busy banging whores in LA.

I feel sorry for Jonas Hiller. After beating the Sharks he won’t receive any condolences from his boyfriend this Summer in Switzerland. Poor Joe Thornton- he must feel conflicted. This will make a horible movie one day. Oh, the drama…
