Nashville has Cody McLeod actually so they should go gently caress themselves with a urine knife.

I honestly think this is the year the Wild and the Caps finally live up to expectations. I mean, statistically how many times can the Wild lose to the Blackhawks, or the Caps flame out in the second round?

You haven't been following the Wild in the last month or so have you?

We're not looking at a situation where like John Scott is still a top 1000 hockey player in the world or something. Referees are not finely filtered into the NHL like players are. There's a lot of cronyism involved..

Also the situation is more like your boss walks into your office and says "hey I have some constructive criticism" and then you and 20 of your friends shout him down and refuse to accept it, and then if anyone else heard rumors of you being criticized you require him to write a personal apology.

I can't wait for all the hand-wringing when players go to the Olympics and the previous pro-Olympics fans are calling into question their players' integrity and dedication when they up and leave their teams for two weeks a month and a half before the playoffs

In hindsight, Ken Holland is a genius for locking up all those non-Olympians.

Teams shouldn't be penalized for keeping it close, but shouldn't be awarded for failing to win.

Rivals.com is a sports website known for really stupid puns. For example, "Avalanche of Suck" is ok, but "Avasuck" is not.

The long and the short of it, no modifying someone's (or a team's) name to bash them, really.

Although seemingly not anymore and I keep trying to get Hand Knit to use something more modern.
