There's a happy little rant from me hidden in this weeks Hockeywood Insider Podcast about how introducing the shootout has now created even more complaints.
It used to be...
People who are unhappy = people who hate ties
NOW its...
People who are unhappy = people who hate shootous, people who hate three point games, people who think spin-o-ramas should be illegal in the shootout, people who think there's too much contact with the goalie in the shootout, people who think it should be 5 shooters instead of 3 etc etc etc
Good job.
You know...if you keep quoting me the ignore feature doesn't really help certain people...
And 90 minute podcasts about the Kings kick some serious ass.
Brisket sandwiches?
Hating shootouts is dumb.
Yea.... so.... at a Meet the GM meeting a few years back someone complained about the hotdogs and the food in general at STAPLES being ****ty and McGowan said something along the lines of "Well my Brisket Sandwiches always taste great" and I kind of sort of flipped out about it in my own head.
For three years.
A lot.
Too much.
At the risk of re-opening still unhealed wounds, I thought this obituary of the Devils season was worth posting.

Those of you who want to shovel dirt on the grave go ahead. I am going to take pride in the way my team finished, especially after the way they started. And despite the protestations of many others, the future looks bright. Our younger players may not be future league stars...but in the structure of our team they should do well. Adam Henrique is another player ready to make the next step as well. Maybe Jacques will come back, maybe not...but I feel certain that Lou has learned that he cannot be as cavalier in regards to choosing a coach. And Parise...if he does decide to stay(and a lot of what I am hearing, grain of salt included, are contrary to the previous reports of his unhappiness) would give our team two top tier players, and a decent supporting cast. Rolston/Zubrus/Elias and Marty probably have one more good run left, and if not...they are coming off the books pretty soon. This year was a learning experience. Anyway, say whatever you want...I continue to believe and bleed Red/Black & White...and sometimes Green.![]()
