The Official Petition to Save Andrew Alberts


 

Dear NHL,

 

We, the undersigned, do hereby state our dismay at the recent ejection of Andrew Alberts from Game 1 of the Vancouver Canucks/ Los Angeles Kings playoff series.  Alberts clearly boarded Brad Richardson during the 2nd period, and we do not deny that.  But we do not feel Alberts deserved to be ejected.  Alberts is a difference maker for the Vancouver Canucks and was far too important to the outcome of the game to eject him.  Even more egregious would be to suspend him from future games in this series.  For the good of the Vancouver Canucks, the Los Angeles Kings, the National Hockey League, and the human race, Andrew Alberts must be allowed to play in the next game.

                                                                                                                                        Sincerely,

The West Coast is the Best Coast.

Funny. And something that Canucks fans can agree with. The sentiment anyhow.

Aaron Rome is probably back in Game 2…so…sorry, no more AA for you.

Reporters asked Sedin how he could possibly have accomplished the feat.
"Look guys, I don’t know how to say this any other way, I’m really fucking fast. I’m like a greased up Pavel Bure that craps lightning," he said.

Hell, I’ll sign. He may not get suspended anyways — last spring Mike Brown served his penance through ejection only.

No side petition to suspend Randy Jones?

Can we just suspend Matt Cooke instead still?

Is he back in the lineup? Last time we saw him, a Bruin dressed up like Evander Kane and… well Evander’d him.

Denis Gauthier sucks at hockey... and life.

Yeah he played in their playoff opener.

I like how Kane has gotten attention in Boston for that, I don’t think he saw that coming.

I think Dean is going to suspend him for conduct detrimental to the team.

Shut up Luc, if I had the money I WOULD buy season tickets.

Along the same lines, I was just thinking I hope he gets a least 10 games. Throw the book at him, it’s time to take a stand, Colin “Wheel of Fortune” Campbell.

(And that’ll be one less dumb ass dman to take stupid ass penalties.)

Though your boy Drew wasn’t doing so bad either…

Throw the book at him

Whoa, let’s not get carried away. That’s reserved for guys in Ducks sweaters only.

Sigh...

It’s true. Wide open nets are terrifying places to shoot poor, innocent pucks into.

This is where we hold them! This is where we fight! This is where they die! Remember this day, men, for it will be yours for all time.

Fantastic. Rec’d.

You’re counting empty nets as well huh? :)

Oh yeah, that’s the inspiration for sure.

But there’s still hope for sure — Ilya Bryzgalov started his playoff career with a tough OT loss on the road but won that series. Gonna be a huge game tomorrow.

Is this really a save Andrew Alberts petition or a

please let him dress for the next game so the Kings can murder him petition?

NICE!

I like the post.

It eases the pain of the loss. Check that, the alcohol is doing that.

But it was an amusing diversion none the less.

I would like to request something like about how Canadiens are dumbasses for tomorrow please.

by Cool Dudes on Apr 16, 2010 8:44 PM PDT reply actions  

they are, but not really relevant as they are playing the Capitals not the Kings

by Nut on Apr 17, 2010 6:34 AM PDT up reply actions  

Dear Colin Campbell,

Every Canadian in the arena around me thought that was an ordinary check. They know the most about hockey so I think you should believe them.

Sincerely,
Niesy

P.P.S. And she’s not talking about Nashville, either!
