Spade's Response to Rudy
by Earl Sleek on Jul 22, 2010 10:15 AM PDT

PrintIn the post below, Rudy offered a challenge to readers -- imagine how he would have responded if the Kings, not the Devils, had signed Ilya Kovalchuk to that mammoth megadeal, and then saw it rejected by Commissioner Bettman and friends.
Our good pal Spade-in-Victorhell decided to multi-trump all of us with an 8-panel cartoon, and it's fantastic. Guest appearance by Tu Madre! Here's Spade's spelling disclaimer:
sorry for the mispellings and crappy artwork..i had an hour to get this done...but heres how i think rudy would have responded enjoy
How Rudy would have responded to Ilya's rejected Kings signing
by Spade-in-Victorhell

Way to go, Spade -- much better than anything I've done in response to Ilya's crazy Kovalcontract. I did, however, come up with something I think they should start selling in the NHL store, to help remind future generations of this glorious time when UFA contracts were written in fantasy ink.
It's a design I like to call the Ilya Koval-clock.
After all, time is relative.
Pre-order yours today!
Go Ducks.

I’m told it’s a Spongebob reference. They watch a lot of that in Victorhell.

it was meant to be the fish reporter from sponge bob..but it was the last slide and my bosses were around so it ended up looking more like a shark..appropriate i think.

the ducks and kings both got referenced early…so i guess it was natural for a sharks reference to be included somewhere

+1 for the Will Ferrell in Neil Diamond Storytellers reference.
“I wrote that after a big show at the Forum. Me and Gary had been drinking pretty heavily, and we were driving. We were driving down this dark road, and we hit a kid. We got out, and sure enough, he was dead. And then we drove away pretty fast. And two hours later, I wrote Sweet Caroline.”
that was will ferrell at his best

I think Spade cheated! He included cartoons to help Rudy get thru the reading. :)

You just changed “writing” to “cartooning.” I’m pretty sure that kind of contest-bending is allowed under the BOCCBA. But Lou is rolling his eyes at it.

Clearly Rudy was only looking for a smart-ass comment like I provided, not long story books (or comic books) like everyone else is providing.
Cheaters! The lot of you!

No decision from Ducks’ Selanne; Bob Murray said they talked this week and will talk again next week….

They probably had to pull the 17-year contract off the table in the wake of this Ilya investigation.

It turns out if a player has a less than half a percent chance of still playing in the league at that age, there are all these PROBLEMS!
The waiting is the hardest part. You should have lots more contests — think of all the blogging you guys can get out of that way. Like: all the texts that Teemu gets, go! Bonus points for working in Joffrey Lupul.

I’ve never even heard of it — they didn’t even contact me to tell me we’d won. It was circulating in the SB Nation e-mails, and everybody’s questioning their selection method. :)

I’m not the smartest guy in the world. I don’t read books or know how "getting pregnant" works. I can’t promise nights filled with intellectual conversation, but if we’re walking past a chain-link fence, you can rest assured that I’m going to try and chew a hole through it.
And they did offer a nice badge — added it to the main page sidebar. Only if people click through will they find out how flimsy it really is!

No shame in that. I’ll have to admit that I’m not that well-read on what onlineschools.org has to say about the NHL in general, but they must be pretty big fans. :)

Congrats!
But hockeybuzz is also on the list…..
Don't let the name deceive you, I'm not just a Sharks fan but a Lakers, 49ers, Angels, Giants (and to a lesser extent) Capitals, and Titans fan.

Hockeybuzz is also 5th, and higher than In Lou We Trust (which is like 20th). It’s obviously fake.

Wow I made it to a BoC toon! I feel so special.
Awesome, thanks Spade.
Although you have me in a tapout shirt, way off. Sublime good band, and the lifted Ford Ranger……………how the fuck did you know. I guess growing up in Temecula has rubbed off on me a little.
Go Ducks!

You have earned another shot for sure.
Sorry not so active, but I’m on that vacation that has me off the grid. I"m at this little po-dunk library right now. I had to drive a while to get here just so I could check BoC. I guess I’m a fiend.
But dont feel bad for me cause I’m wakeboarding,fishing, and drinking on a daily basis.
