Best Moment: N/A

Most visceral moment? When he took a shot at Patrick Marleau in February last year. THAT WAS A HIT TO THE HEAD I CANT BELIEVE HE DID THAT!!!1

To be fair, every time I see Patrick Marleau’s face I think, “Man, I want to elbow that guy in the head.”

It’s hard to generate proper ranting in August, I guess.

Don’t worry, I’m preparing my post now.

Fuck you, Denis Gauthier. You suck at hockey... and life.

Denis Gauthier rant time!!!

Do I even have to say anything? Everybody in the universe knows how much I hate this guy. Everytime I see a Red Wings fan on the streets of Long Beach, I tell them how much I dislike him for turning the puck over last October, costing us a victory against the Wings. I always tell everybody that I stopped playing NHL 09 Be a Pro mode when the Devils traded for him in my fifth season. Not lying.

Gauthier sucks, is a Canadian disguised as a hockey player, and is probably only a hockey player because he was born in Montreal. Montreal-born Canadians are pretty much pre-destined to become NHL, or at least QMJHL players. I’d rather pay Preissing $5 million to play for the Kings than pay this guy $500K. I’d rather we have Cloutier come back in goal.

I hate him much more than Rudy unjustly hates Ryan Smyth. I hate him more than us Angels fans hate AJ Pierzynski… and you should know, that’s a lot. I hate him more than Wings fans love Yzerman.

2-2=4 in 65 games? The two goals I can understand because he’s a defenseman, but only 2 assists? I could do better than that in my sleep. Any NHL player can easily get 10 points in a season just by being lucky.

Gauthier had only 2 goals and 2 assists… He got 2 suspensions in February alone… worth 6 games!! He missed more games due to suspensions than he had points in. Needless to say, those suspensions were his high points of his Kings career. He helped the team more when he was off the ice, which is why I lobbied for at least a 10-game suspension for his hit on Josh Gorges. And for the record, I’ve still not seen the hit.

Can you believe this King killer was actually part of a trade for King killer Daymond Langkow? I would say that his career went downhill during his time with the Kings, like many players have, but the only year he spent with the Kings was the year where they were all about defense!

And if you guys need any more, just look at my signature. Just so y’all know… I hate this guy.

Fuck you, Denis Gauthier. You suck at hockey... and life.

I’m glad to please y’all.

I knew this post by Rudy would please you. Haha.

Nobody cares about your opinion.

Hear, hear. Well said.

As you all know The Ducks blue line is suffering pretty badly.  Wiz being banished to the Islanders really doesn't help much.  What I'm about to suggest is crazy, probably not legal, and absolutely absurd.  But desperate times call for desperate measures.   

That is a picture of my girlfriend's dog, Mia.  And the holder of that hockey stick is me.  Every once in awhile I'll practice stick handling in my kitchen with a small tennis ball.  The other day, this interested Mia and she sort of made a game out of it.  I try to stick handle around her and she trys to get the ball.  At first this was no challenge to me, but then the little bastard started getting really good.  So, here's my solution:  

The Ducks sign Mia to a 3 year entry level contract.  She can't stick handle, check, pass, shoot, has no concept of what team she's on, and has pretty shitty cardio.  But from a team that once employed the likes of Ryan Whitney and Steve Eminger, this is all easily forgivable.  On the up side, she'll never take a penalty....  Unless they add biting or pissing on the ice to the NHL rule book.  She's relentless....  Unless the opponents all bring bacon which they use as a distraction.
