We're All Doomed
by Megalodon on Aug 26, 2010 8:30 AM PDT

PrintIn this very early season preview, Megalodon and Rudy come together to bring you a list of why all 30 NHL teams are doomed and will probably miss the playoffs.
East
Atlanta Thrashers: So they added Byfuglien and Mason. That's something, anyway. They're certainly not as awful as they once were, for what it's worth. And what it's worth will be about 11th in the East.
Boston Bruins: After making history with their spectacular failure in the playoffs last season, this year the Bruins will discover exciting new ways to completely suck. They'll tie for the division championship at the end of the year but, with the new tie-breaker system disregarding shootout wins, will end up missing the playoffs entirely.
Buffalo Sabres: The Sabres management spent the off-season doing what they do best: designing new third jerseys.
Carolina Hurricanes: After coming close last season, the team will finally break their franchise record and go on a fifteen game losing streak.
Florida Panthers: This season the Panthers should be the 3rd best hockey team in Florida.
Montreal Canadiens: The Canadiens have one thing going for them: great goal-tending. If it weren't for Halak, this team would be completely hopeless.
New Jersey Devils: Thanks to the Kovy contract controversy, every ref and linesman in the league will be entering the season with a predisposition to see the Devils as cheaters.
New York Islanders: The big question: Is Jonathan Tavares good enough to lead this team into the playoffs? The big answer: not even close.
New York Rangers: It may not actually be a good idea for an entire team to climb onto Marian Gaborik's back. He might break something.
Ottawa Senators: Everybody is good at something, but for this team hockey doesn't seem to be it. Maybe they're all excellent Mathletes?
Philadelphia Flyers: Chris Pronger is coming back from knee surgery, and his return date is uncertain. Hmm, a giant guy playing a punishing sport heading towards the later years of his career - he should be back in a jiffy with no lingering effects whatsoever.
Pittsburgh Penguins: In the playoffs this team couldn't beat the Canadiens, so it will be a real struggle playing against actual NHL teams.
Tampa Bay Lightning: The Lightning are going to be in big trouble when Dan Ellis quits hockey in favor of a career in brain surgery.
Toronto Maple Leafs: Hahaha
Washington Capitals: You know what this team needs to finally get some success? An offensive superstar. That's the missing piece.
West
Anaheim Ducks: The team that finished 11th in the West last season has lost Scott Niedermayer and added...um....
Chicago Blackhawks: You know that team that won the Cup because of their insane forward depth? About that...
Colorado Avalanche: Craig Anderson will be unable to stand on his tiny pea head for a 2nd consecutive season.
Columbus Blue Jackets: Who?
Dallas Stars: They finally got rid of their average goalie that played 70+ games a season and replaced him with an average goalie that will play 30+ games a season.
Detroit Red Wings: Tragedy will strike when Todd Bertuzzi accidentally eats Pavel Datsyuk's head after mistaking it for a piece of candy corn.
Edmonton Oilers: Fans in Edmonton will be shocked when they see their team at the top of the standings, but it will turn out they're just holding the newspaper upside-down.
Los Angeles Kings: The signing of Willie Mitchell will amount to nothing when he injures himself during the national anthem at the season opener and doesn't play a single game.
Minnesota Wild: Martin Havlat, Mikko Koivu and Nicklas Backstrom will make a combined $17.75 million in 2012-13. I don't even have a joke for that.
Nashville Predators: They'll set an NHL record for the most players with 10+ on goals on one team with 15, and they'll set another record when their leading scorer only has 11.
Phoenix Coyotes: Coyotes fans have been insisting for years that Zbynek Michalek is under-rated, and is one of the top defensemen in the league. Without the rest of the Coyotes dragging him down, it will turn out the fans were right all along.
San Jose Sharks: After yet another season goes by without playoff success, the Sharks are going to have to face facts: it's all S.J. Sharkie's fault. Get him!
St. Louis Blues: A quick start will fizzle out after Erik Johnson shreds his arm while trying Frolf.
Vancouver Canucks: They're actually in really good shape, but I'll be a monkey's uncle before I ever take these two idiots seriously:

Maybe we’re talking about a different thing, because there you only use one space after a period. Do you do it differently in your articles?
And Rudy and I discussed this before – most sources you can find say that two spaces after a period is a hold-over from typewriter days and is unnecessary with modern computer fonts.

The SBALA guys make me put one space in between each sentence, so I usually write my post and then go back and delete the 2nd space for every new sentence.
Just taking a quick look around at the sites I visit regularly, one space definitely seems to be the rule,
That’s not a rule, that’s a technical limitation. All web browsers these days collapse multiple spaces, so it looks like everybody’s only typing one space after every sentence.

Languages change, and so do idioms. That’s why it cracks me up when the French get uppity about the purity of their language. You know what, frogs? Y’all are speaking a debased form of provincial Latin.
I do wish that education would win out on this one, but the amount of people who care about the philosophical sense is dwindling. They’re going to win. It’s got the stuff plants crave.

Agree with that assessment of the French language. French in many ways is nothing more than Latin with a lisp. It’s as if the French had trouble pronouncing the ‘s’ sound. The old Latin word, fenestra, evolved into being “fenetre”, with including the mandatory gender handle “La” in front.
And then school is “ecole”. And French has so many plural words ending with silent ‘s’.

so they teach you about the different kinds of poo?
Wet Cheeks poo Also known as “The Power dump”
That’s the kind that comes out of your ass so fast that your butt cheeks get splashed with the toilet water.
Liquid poo
The kind where yellowish-brown liquid shoots out of your butt, spashes all over the inside of the toilet bowl and, at the same time, chronically burns your tender poop-chute.
Mexican Food poo
A class all its own
The Crowd Pleaser
This poo is so intriguing in size and/or appearance that you have to show it to someone.

My favorite shits are the ones when you go to wipe and there’s no shit on the toilet paper, I fucking love that! And of course, my least favorite shits are the ones when you wipe and wipe and wipe and it feels like you’ve wipe a hundred times and your afraid the toilets gonna clog because of so much toilet paper and your butthole hurts and there’s still shit on the toilet paper and you just give in, pull up your pants and hope your butthole doesnt start itching.
Thats the reality people.

Wait what? Some people put TWO spaces after a period? Why would anyone do that? This is like when i found out that 50% of people wipe their ass while standing up.
I find the second space really helps build momentum towards capitalizing the start of the next sentence.

I was taught how to type on a computer in the third grade, and that’s what we were trained to do. It really comes down to instinct at this point. I don’t even know why it would annoy anyone from a visual standpoint, either, but that’s just me. A little extra space? I find that it makes things easier to read. But I’ve never seen any professor or student of mine make an issue out of it, so I fail to see what the big deal is. There are two styles, and one will die out eventually.
It’s vs. its on the other hand…don’t even get me started.

You’re talking about sentence-spacing. Double-spacing implies the space between lines.
Rice is great when you're hungry and you want 2000 of something.
Yeah I tried to make it clear what I was talking about, but it’s confusing. Hitting the space bar twice after a sentence is the issue here – and that should clearly be called “double-spacing,” yet it’s not.
Drew Remenda would praise a bottle of child poison if it had a picture of Darryl Sutter on it.

ROTFLMAO.
Penguins = Priceless.
And I agree with the Vanc assesment. Which is why that’s the only pre-season game I bought tickets for. (Well, that and I’m out of town for the other two ;-) )
They lost Mitchell, but got Manny. If they put that “C” on a forward, it’ll probably translate to better play on the ice, but that’s just my bias against Goalies as ©. Don’t get me wrong, I love Goalies, but just not as ©. They need to move with the puck, IMO.

If we had taken Luongo 3rd we would be lamenting the fact that we traded him for Palffy, so it all works out.
Our great goaltenders that draft year were Stephane Fiset, Jamie Storr, and Frederic Chabot…. fuck.
Of course, the Islanders fucked up also. They felt DiPietro was the secondcoming of Christ, and ended up trading Luongo and Jokinen for… Mark Parrish and Oleg Kvasha.
Dave Taylor was maybe only the second-worst GM at the time.

Welcome to Battle of California: That wonderful corner of the Internet where hockey, grammar, and graphic descriptions of shitting all come together.

Here I was wondering why it was even on the list – then I remembered Rudy posts here as well. :)

I know, this whole 3-team dynamic thing throws everything out the window.
(I’m still trying to understand why, for some reason, when I first found of this site, the Stars were a part of it.)
Denis Gauthier sucks at hockey... and life.
That’s easy to understand about the Stars – they wanted to be cool like the California kids. Reality finally hit them tho. :)

I’m glad we’re getting a lot of new readers with this article, because between the article itself and the comments I think this is an excellent introduction to what we do here. If Earl could just capture it all in a cartoon it would be perfect.

Don’t give him any ideas…
Although the prospect of a 30-team cartoon may be something we can’t allow to pass us.

You've definitely got a new reader
And I triple space everything.

Holy shit
So I’m from SCH, someone just linked to this article, and I had to sign up to tell you guys that this is one of the funniest articles/comment sections I’ve ever read. I think I woke up the whole house with my laughter. And you hit a double space after a period.

On the Montreal Canadiens, they don’t even have Halak any more so no more great playoff goal tending. They’ll be paying the price for relying on Carey.
Rocking the Red since 1975
Olli Jokinen is only jokingin
But seriously, who would rely on him to score a shootout goal with your entire season on the line?
