Saturday’s A Perfect Day For Pointless Rambling

A couple thoughts to tide you over before tonite’s tilt with the Ovechkins (courtesy of Kyle at BDS)...
These four lines, even minus Franzen, Hossa, Hudler, Helm and William Tell? Still as balanced as any group of forwards in hockey. And nobody has the kind of potential firepower in lines 1-3.
Henrik Zetterberg | Pavel Datsyuk | Tomas Holmstrom
Ville Leino | Valtteri Filppula | Dan Cleary
Todd Bertuzzi | Justin Abdelkader | Jason Williams
Brad May | Kris Draper | Patrick Eaves
Pens “fans” are in an uproar over the fact that Jeff Hartnell won’t be suspended for allegedly biting Kris Letang. At the same time they’re giggling over Franzen’s torn ACL. This link is to The Pens Blog, so you know the conversation will be deep.
While one fanbase continues to prove they still have no idea how to celebrate their once-in-a-lifetime gift from Little Gary? Another one proves that they’re just not ready for prime time.
Second City Hockey
I’d like to gleefully enjoy this, I know you’re not supposed to do this for injuries, but Franzen’s an unqualified ass-hole. But he’s a stupidly talented *#$%@&. This is a loss. I know all Scum fans are going to ask me what was the score last night and all that, but there’s something off about the Wings. Jason Williams and Todd Bertuzzi were on the second line. There were giveaways galore. They’ve just signed BRAD MAY FOR *#$%@&’S SAKE. This injury leaves the door to the division crown wide open, and the Hawks need to take it.
Franzen, in case you’re wondering, is an “unqualified ass-hole” in the eyes of Hawk fans for this…
...and only that. And, seriously, guys don’t use the term “unqualified ass-hole”. Maybe guys in Denver do. But I’d expect more from a blue collar hockey town. Sounds like something someone would say through clenched teeth at a polo match.
Baroque brought this up in a comment below and I’ll second it…the fact that Minnesota lost last night due at least partly to a horrible call by the left field ump brings me great joy. Suck it. Suck it long and hard Twin fans.
I haven’t commented on the Wing win over Chicago mainly because I “dozed off” kinda early. But maybe Osgood was actually sick at the Stockholm Suckfest. And maybe he really is motivated to disprove last year’s regular season ankle grabber.
Somebody referred to Bertuzzi as the Unibomber in a comment today. I read that as I was driving and started giggling like a bitch. My wife asked what was so funny and I tried to explain it but couldn’t.
Finally, speaking of funny…if you haven’t read RWBill’s Stockholm recap? Read through the comments and you’ll find it. Might be the best thing ever written or photocopied here at A2Y. You’ve done us proud you sick fu**er.
You’ve got about three hours to make your predictions to win the Hockey Hall of Fame passes. Do it here.

Saturday nights were made for the Circuses of the Flying variety.

G*DAMMIT!!! I trusted you, google!
Anyway, it should be clear to all that I’m drunk already as I prepare for the Phoenix Opening Night against the Colombus Nashes. I wonder if Cock of Hitch will bite my fingers off if I dangle them over the glass behind the bench…

I hate ACL’s and I never wanted to be one.

“Letang - It’s what’s for dinner.”
And I want to know why Franzen is an a**hole just for that when I’m positive that the majority of Hawks fans have the urge to do the exact same thing whenever they see Kane chewing on his mouthguard like a scrappy little terrier with a chew toy. Unless they were concerned he’d punch them like a cabbie if they tried.

Love that video…to have the presence of mind to disarm the little twirp in the heat of battle…...classic. Like snatching a binky from a two year old.
Where’s that frickin singing Filet-o-Fish carp when we need him.
Give me back my mouthpiece
Give me my piece
Give me…..

Kris Letang is a bitch, just like his coach, GM, and most Pens fans.

The Flip, Clears, Dr. eVille line makes me want to play my organ. Just like the guy at the Joe. Did you hear he learned to play when he was 15? Did I mention that I learned to play the organ when I was 13?

Dodgers game is on…
What a crappy telecast…
They’re not showing all the pretty girls in St. Louis.

You on pointlessly ramble on Saturday’s? Who are you trying to fool?

I laugh at the Penguin’s obsession with Wings players and us Wings fans. It makes no sense to me to be THAT obsessed about the ups and downs of a team that isn’t even in the same conference. To not enjoy a stanley cup over the summer seems just wrong to me. Personally, I don’t give two PBR’s about the Penguins. Outside of the illogical marketing strategy of the NHL and its partners in over marketing Sidney (and to a lesser extent AO), what the Penguins do or don’t do doesn’t matter to me. I don’t really care (though some of the uneducated posts of their fans does make the mid-morning duldrums a bit easier to survive).
