Well…If I Have To

Well, the Dive bloggers seem to be gaining momentum today…picking up a little emotional steam, despite the fact that this series’ best forward (for Denver anyway) is now done.  A few of the Triple Bravos are getting a little spicey.

No, I’m not talking about Thom or his 3rd different blog in three months.  Keep this in mind about Thommy. He’s an irritant, an easily swatted fruit fly.  All atwitter because his adopted team is losing.  Anti-semite? Me?  Wow.  Pretty stern term.  Would love to see some evidence.  All my posts are here for the world to see Thom.  I don’t change web sites every three weeks or so. Find the evidence of that anti-semitism, if you even know what it means. Have it on hand in the event you’re called on it.

There are a couple others (who are legitimate hockey bloggers and honestly don’t deserve to be even mentioned in the same post) who called us out directly today, and they probably need to be addressed.

First, the hyphenated guy takes issue with our wet dream of a Game 3 scenario (Three or Four being given another start).

You might think that my recent bout with the flu would put me in the pro-Budaj camp along with Joe, Shane, many Avalanche fans and the entire population of Mo(ron)town. And you’d be wrong.

Wow. Flu’s going around Denver these days isn’t it?  If I’m in the “pro-Budaj” camp it’s only as a gesture of respect toward Budaj in that I’d rather he stay seated and let his French pal flail around avoiding puddles of his own vomit and urine.  That makes me a mo(ron)?  Cool. I’ll take it.

Easy.  Next.

Ah yes. The Dog and Pony Show.  Haven’t mentioned this little fella before but I’ll be glad to today.  He’s got some points to make. Oh yes he does.

An ongoing theme on Abel to Yzerman at Kukla’s Korner has been for Wings fans to make fun of the phrase “old time hockey” as it relates to the Avalanche.

He goes on for a bit more, breaks out a mathematical equation showing the frequency of Cups compared to the length of league service.  Yes.  Great point.  Then he mentions the number of college titles for the state of Colorado compared to those earned by the schools in Michigan. Got it.

So tell me again how Colorado is lacking a hockey tradition, Wingnuts.

Tell you again? Ok.  Get your nose out of your wine cooler tonite while you’re sitting on your padded Ass Can seats.  Look above you to the retired Ray Bourque jersey. Think about how idiotic it is for an organ-I-zation to retire a guy’s number after fifteen months of playing for that team.  Now consider how the Dive organization has honored the Stastnys. Oh, I know you think I’m referring to Paul, but I’m not.  Didn’t have to think too long and hard about that did ya? 

You wanna stick to college sports and try to ram tradition down our throats?  Not a bad discussion. Give it a shot.  But to compare the two NHL franchises and attempt to sell them as traditionally equal? 

Next?
