Awesome…

but is this really worthy of its own post?

Denis Gauthier sucks at hockey... and life.

It’s been a running theme through several posts, so I thought the BoC faithful would appreciate it. If not, please ignore the awkwardness.

Patty’s “pee pants face” is truly a sight to be seen.

resident cartoonist @CouchTarts Lightning is seven times as hot as the surface of the sun.
That’s still not as hot as Douglas Murray. -mymclife

Now if only team Canada had let him wear his Argyle.

As much as we make fun of Patty’s goofy forced grin around here, I’m still on the “sign him for life” bandwagon. The dude should always wear teal.

LOL love this post…………conveys so much information with very little words.

Marleau looks like a guy who has never seen a smile, only read about them in books.

Never go to the South for any reason.

You think Patty is awkard now? Just wait until he has to deal with Bailey being his new team’s mascot starting in October 2010!

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.
