10.10.08 YOUR HOCKEY POST FOR OCTOBER
I used to play hockey in Ohio three nights a week, but enough about my sex life. The NHL is about as relevant today as…well…Def Leppard, those rockers that poured some sugar on us back in the 1980s. It’s an apt simile, as that band helped drop the puck on the NHL season last night with a show of their own, which featured a bit of unrehearsed hilarity that spoke more to the everyfan’s apathy toward professional hockey than any dogshit literary comparison I could conjure up here.
Yes, NHL, a has-been band (in your employ, no less) just misplaced the greatest icon of your game, setting the Stanley Cup upside-down on a table. Fortunately, it was on Versus, so there’s a good chance nobody else saw it. Hell, Ufford killed a hooker on Versus in 2006. Or maybe it was a bear. Either way, the bitch had it coming.

YOUR HOCKEY POST FOR OCTOBER
Hmmm the only hockey post for October, which means you WILL post about hockey about once a month- thanks for the increase!
Please, someone tell me there a video of Don Cherry freaking out about this.
Now if only the NHL would lose and arm and choke on it’s own vomit….
Def Leppard was their last choice. Tesla and Ratt were already on the road for unnecessary reunion tours.
a has-been brand…that out-drew the NBA last year
I can’t believe I’m the first to say: the drummer for Def Leppard’s only got one arm, the drummer for Def Leppard’s only got one arm…
that’s a paddlin’
You write about baseball all the time, yet you call the NHL irrelevant? Whee, baseball: A whole two countries give a shit about it!
Joke: What has 12 legs, but only 11 arms. Def Leppard!
Having Def Leppard celebrate hockey, would be like sending Nickleback (f*ck… my ears just bled writing that) to the UK to hype Soccer.
Hockey died in relevance for me when Sega Genesis was no longer cool. If you can’t make little Gretsky bleed, who cares?
Final, a real sport returns.
Fucking shit baseball sucks ass. Football too. The only thing football is good for is mugshots of black people. And even then there are lots of options for that.
The joke is…what has 9 arms and sucks? Def Leppard.
“Hell, Ufford killed a hooker on Versus in 2006. Or maybe it was a bear.”
Punter, your confusion is understandable. It was both.
Punte: You suck.
