Polson, only a self-medicater in the truest traditions of Saginaw self-medication could have come up with that. Good on ya.

All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.

I guess now it’s time to explain the REAL reason he “blacked out” and failed to shake hands with the “slang for male private parts that rhymes with hicks and could maybe even be mistaken for Ducks if you’re not reading carefully.”
Yep, you guessed it. He was tanked up on COLD-fX—the official cold medicine of the NHL—which I’ve been told by Dwayne Klessel’s sources flows like water in every NHL locker room (“Mmmmmm…cherry.”). Unfortunately, Chelios had contracted one of those really nasty springtime colds due to traveling 18,737,000 miles during the first three rounds of the playoffs—and that was just on his exercise bike in the sauna. Being the stalwart leader that he is, Chelios understood that shaking hands with the Anaheim members only club would almost certainly spread his cold to them and perhaps even the Ottawa Senators and the rest of the league! So, by overmedicating himself in his efforts to minimize the contamination of his teammates and others, the brave and noble Mr. Chelios didn’t really skip the handshake, he SAVED the Stanley Cup Playoffs and next season as well!
And that, my friends, is what I call LEADERSHIP!
