Miss The Playoffs? Punish the Poultry

I can’t recall a time when the Wings didn’t make the playoffs, so it’s kind of hard for me to comprehend what I read today--courtesy of A2Y reader W2J2. Apparently, the lone Dive fan remaining in Denver has gone off the frigging deep end. So distraught by his garbage team’s inability to reach the postseason, he’s gone after the Cup winners in true bitter Dive fan fashion.
A Denver man who witnesses say ripped the head off a tame duck that lived in a pond in a hotel lobby is under arrest in St. Paul.
A police officer said that Scott Clark, a guest at the Embassy Suites hotel, cornered the duck early Saturday, ripped its head off and turned to onlookers and said: “I’m hungry. I’m gonna eat it.”
“He was allegedly drunk,” St. Paul police Sgt. John Wuorinen said.
Disturbing.

Here’s how you find out. If the man couldn’t beat the duck in a 20 yard skate, the man was Claude Lemieux.

Where are Scott Niedermayer and PETA when you really need them?

That’s disgusting.
Barbaric and disgusting.
I don’t know what it has to do with hockey. At least the tranny was wearing a hockey jersey. This is just filth.

I knew you’d stick up for Garcia, Thom. You’re nothing if not absolutely predictable.
As for barbaric and disgusting? Sorry you feel that way. Reading that was the first time--ever--that I had any respect for a Dive fan.
Really, consider this. At least that Dive fan did what he had to do quickly. He ripped the head off that duck, said he was hungry and pretty much moved on.
Most Dive fans waste paragraph after paragraph, huge amounts of time, to make their points only to have them completely ignored.
“This is just filth.” Classic.

I didn’t stick up for him. When I said “at least he was wearing an Avs uni,” I was referring to the fact that he was wearing an Avs uni at least made it somewhat related to your blog. Some Denver dipshit going nuts on an innocent animal has nothing to do with anything hockey-related. It’s just disgusting.

...to jail. And now we’re going to pay to support his crazy ass. But he doesn’t have to worry where his next meal is coming from now. So it was an astute decision on his part.

See, you’re wrong about two things there.
One, it doesn’t take me a lot of time.
Two, I couldn’t care less if you retards read it. I haven’t met a single Wings fan in my entire life who could even remotely comprehend a Dr. Seuss book, much less a statistical analysis of the NHL Draft. Pointing out the flaws in your inane arguments and the flaws of your utterly inept organization is just fun for me. Of course you’re never going to accept it. You couldn’t understand it in the first place.
I enjoy yanking your chain. I enjoy yanking your chain so hard that you think you’re yanking mine. I altered the course of your *#$%@& blog, for crying out loud. I am more important here, now, than you are.
You used to talk about the Wings. Now, all you do is talk about Avalanche fans. I own you, and you don’t even realize it.
Watch, there will be some smartass reply with some inane, juvenile insult thrown at me, with some cliched nonsense about transvestites or whatever. You’ll call me delusional or whatever, and pretend that I am irrelevant. You’re only kidding yourself.

Thom, I was going to read what you wrote but it was too long as usual. It’s just boring. I don’t have the attention span. Plus, I’m writing an in depth research paper on the 2003 draft.
I liked the one that ended with “that’s just filth.” That was cool.

Thomas, as I said, it takes one to know one, so know this--the U’s ward is much, much nicer than Heritage or Detroit Receiving. St. Joe’s is nice, too.
Oh, the irony...I mean, it’s so rich, I’m soaking in it. This is genius stuff, Bill. Genius.

No duh.

Typical Dead Things fan, focusing on this instead of hockey.

Ooooh, Thom is Un Available now. Incredibly Sneaky Dive Fan must be with Garthia, eh?

The guy killed a duck in a pond to eat it. It is terrible.
Some farmers keep hundreds of ducks in their farms, give them food, take care of them, then cut their heads off and we eat them.
What I learn from that...?
Food is good. Everybody gotta eat.

Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y.

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. Your suggestions and critiques are welcome:

I am still trying to determine whether he is related to Claude Lemieux.
