Heh.

Heh.

Comment moderation means that you can't post comments unless I approve them, idiot. You wasted twenty minutes writing out two idiotic, hate-filled posts that I didn't approve.

Who's the idiot? "Your" the idiot.

Detroit Media - A True Gem

I was out at lunch yesterday, listening to 97.1 in my car (you should never eat Taco Bell anywhere but in your car while listening to sports radio), when I heard these two Detroit idiots spouting off something that actually made me laugh out loud. If I remember correctly, it was Terry Foster of the Detroit News and Pat Caputo of the...what is it? Oakland Press? Anyway, this Caputo moron was talking about Chris Osgood.

Mind you, I am not making any of this up.

Apparently, Chris Osgood, if he wins the Cup this year, will be a "lock Hall of Famer". He's also "one of the ten best goalies of all time," the "second best goalie in Red Wings history" and "he's going to have his number retired".

Wow. Just....wow.

Thankfully, Foster was there to breathe a modicum ("a little bit" for those readers from Detroit) of sanity to the discussion by pointing out that Osgood is a backup goalie was was run out of town once already.

So let me get this straight...Osgood, a backup goalie who once literally cried on camera because the media was "mean to him" is a lock HOFer and one of the ten best goalies of all time? The guy who was not only run out of town by the team, the fans and the media, but was also run out of St Louis and New York? The guy who is notorious for letting in 60ft turds in the 3rd period of series-clinching games (and not just once or twice)? That Chris Osgood?

I mean, I realize the Detroit media are absolutely disgusting in their homerism, but this would make them blush. Don Fucking Cherry doesn't even blindly fellate Bobby Orr as much as this Caputo asswipe just gummed down on Osgood. What a loser.

Argument and a New Policy for RTA

I love a good argument, as most of you know. A lot of people take an attack on their argument as an attack on their person, but I have never been that way. Forums are a venue for debate, and debate is what makes the innarnets so interesting. Without debate, it's, well, the coloradoavalanche.com pom-pon fest. I'd rather watch grass grow.

There's also a difference between a few minor jabs thrown into a logically sound argument and ad hominem attacks. A lot of people never actually took the time to learn what an ad hominem is, they just assume that if you toss in a personal attack, that's an ad hominem and thus invalidates the logic of the argument. Not true. Ad hominem is a personal attack IN PLACE OF an argument, NOT a personal attack IN ADDITION to an argument.

Regardless, it appears that we have our first committed troll here. Hockeyguy, as many of you know, is a complete imbecile who has spent the last several years stalking me on usenet, various forums, and now my blog. He's a pathetic soul, and while he's more than welcome to bash me elsewhere, he's been removed from commenting here. I'm fine with argument. I'm perfectly fine with Wings Idiots coming here and attempting to disprove my arguments. But when you're only here to attack me (or others) personally, that doesn't fly with me.

So, with that said, I hereby institute a new policy...

You troll, you roll.

I don't troll your blog, and you're not going to troll mine.

I want Detroit

Tonight, I will be rooting for the San Jose Sharks to put Calgary away. There are a couple reasons for this, not the least of which is that the more Canadian franchises that are eliminated, the better. The one exception is the Montreal Canadiens, but that's because I make money every time they win, and Quebec isn't really part of Canadia anyway.

Most of all though, I want San Jose to win because that would mean Colorado gets the privilege of being the ones to send Detroit to the early tee time that everyone but Wings idiots knows is coming.

The Red Wings are the epitome of a paper tiger. The mediots love to fellate the Wings because of their record and history, but when you actually look at the team on the ice, instead of a cherry '64 GTO they make the team out to be, the team more closely resembles the rusted out '87 Mustang that most of their trailer trash fans drive to work...err...the unemployment office in. Just because you throw on new wiper blades and floormats and get a $99 Earl Schieb paint job done doesn't make your team into a muscle car.

The Wings have 2/3rds of a scoring line. They have nobody else who has any business on a scoring line in the NHL. They have ZERO scoring depth and NOBODY you can realistically count on at the forward spots for offensive production come playoff time other than Datsyuk, Zetterberg and Holmstrom. They have AWFUL goaltending. AWFUL. Hasek has been run out of town and now the Wings are pinning their hopes on Chris Osgood, a guy who was already run from Detroit once because he couldn't withstand playoff pressure.

This, my friends, is a team ripe for the pickings.

We've already beaten a one-line team. Quite handily, actually. The Wild are a better team than the Wings are, and they play better team defense (which is really saying something - the Wild are the ONLY team that plays better team defense than the Wings do).

So let's go San Jose! I want the Wings!
