It's a little hard to do when I'm faced with 'he turned himself in, he's guilty' and shit like that. On the one hand you're stupid enough to believe that in any circumstance if someone turns themself in they must be guilty even if they would otherwise be a fugitive. Or on the other hand, you weren't aware of the fact that he had a warrant out for his arrest. Which would mean you're making claims about his guilt/innocence without actually knowing the facts that the public has been given.
Sigh.Darren Dredger said:
I didn't know about the warrant out for his arrest, I was forming an opinion on the facts I was given like everyone else does all the time. My bad bruh. You guys can have Budaj back for cheap if it helps.
So you are saying the Broncos will be super Bowl Champions like the Hawks are cup champions. I like how you think cat. You are a friend to Broncos country.

We could use some of his jesus juice right now but I'll pass.
Leafs have been bad, but the team's has been on a rebuild. We knew it was going to get bad before it got better. And it did get bad.
We made it to the playoffs last season, and the team is looking pretty good so far. We're only a month into the season, so there's still time for things to go wrong, but I'm confident that the team can sustain the momentum from October for the most part.
The Oilers had the luxury of drafting three first overall picks and the chance at a rebuild. There's no set time frame to complete a rebuild, but at least the Leafs are showing huge strides compared to the past few years.
TLDR: Don't talk shit until the Oilers get better overall.
I laughed at it, Red. Even though I didn't acknowledge it.

Just got tickets to see the Rangers lose live on monday against the ducks
But…no Teemu
No Teemu vs Iginla tonight either
Battle of the legends.
Man, it's gonna suck when Teemu goes next year and then absolutely nobody will give a shit about the Ducks on any level whatsoever.
Sure we may have one of the best power forwards in the league today, and Perry who is a skillful Hart/Richard winner but is hated by everybody just because his playstyle is the offensive-minded version of Kronwall. Silfverberg will only be adored by Sens and Ducks fans and our bright prospects/newbies will only be adored in a few years time when they reach the level that Getzlaf/Perry are currently at, and only IF they keep developing and don't fuck up outside the ice or even on the ice.
John Gibson will be adored by all Americans, if and only if he pans out at in international level and grabs a gold medal for Team USA outside of the World Juniors. Andersen and Fasth will only get us so far in the media, until they reach Vezina levels.
All I'm complaining about is the fact that every time the media and fans of other teams glance at the Ducks, we won't have the adoration of Teemu to help boost our teams reputation. We'll just be a bunch of ragtag kids from District 5 who keep winning games under coach Bombay.
And keep winning, we hopefully, will.
How the fuck does that shit even fly in 2013? How is it not common sense to NOT FUCKING BLACKFACE IT UP!?
I laughed heartily. Rob Ford is awesome. Vote Rob Ford 2013. FORD MORE YEARS.
YOU NEVER GIVE ME ANY ATTENTION

Hah! Dstly pls
Just bring Kariya out of retirement. I liked Teemu getting his Cup but I wish Kariya also got that honour as well. Maybe if he had only stayed a bit longer or if Granato knew how to fucking coach a team with that many stars on it, Kariya would've had one.

helo red man
I was always hoping there would be some sort of huge Kariya acknowledgement this year with the throwback and 20th anniversary being the theme of this season. Unfortunately though, when Kariya was put in the spotlight he just talked of regret and headaches and how much disdain he has for the organisation. There was never any closure with him and now it looks like the golden days of "off the ice, on the boards" will always stay there in the past.
I will always love Kariya, so will many other Ducks fans, but he and the organisation will never love each other.
Assuming our first jersey retirement will actually be Selanne, then hopefully Giggy. Would've loved it to be Herbert, Rucchin, Kariya or even Neidermayer.

Maybe if it were clever and/or funny Avs fans would lighten up about it, yet it's neither of those things. Saying a forward would serve Varly's sentence if he is convicted is funny. The Roy jokes are bad.

Getting so cake bossed tonight.
Only because I'm not from Winnipeg.
Ducks fly together.
Bunch of people here thought it was funny, you should PM them and tell them they're wrong.

Now that baseball is finished, this will be the sentiment of many other hardcore Bruins fans.
Gonna beat the Bruins so goddamn hard tonight. Hope they don't injure any more of our players though. Give it about 5 minutes until Ratface tries though.
There aren't really a ton of them on here consistently anyway.
Either way, priorities are important.
I blame the lack of superior lockout hockey.

Yeah, who cares about an exciting sport like hockey when you can watch American Cricket.
People that care about sports? Foreign concept for most, I know.

Dammit kid! Take 4 during the year and 1 in the summer! You trying to kill yourself?!
Yeah or American Rugby.
Both worse American versions of semi-decent sports suck.
I only have 4 courses this semester, I took one during the summer. I thought I was going to be okay but this fucking school jesus christ the profs are all on fucking crack.
Not to mention they go right up to the exam period AND my exams are all within 1-2 days of each other so gonna have to get 3-4 hours of sleep the next month to even maintain my GPA.

Dater is saying Varlamov will start Saturday vs. Montreal, though a confirmation won't come until tomorrow.
Just never won a cup? You can't win if you can't even make the finals.
Lets look at Canadian team success since expansion...
Winnipeg Jets - They're noobs (again), reasonable excuse.
Ottawa Senators - One final, One President's Trophy.
Vancouver Canucks - Two finals, Two President's Trophies.
Calgary Flames - Three finals, One Stanley Cup, Two President's Trophies.
Edmonton Oilers - Seven finals, Five Stanley Cups, Two President's Trophies
Montreal Canadiens - Ten finals, Nine Stanley Cups
Toronto Maple Leafs - NOTHING, ZIP, NADA
Leafs have done nothing for decades. Winning an occasional playoff round is not success. They do have one thing. They have the honor of being Canada's laughing-stock generation after generation.

Oh, the profs there are definitely on something. No confirmation but lots and lots of rumors and 'inside sources'
To be fair, a lot of those away games are home games for us anyways
Cuz were teaching the new guy.

I hear that campus police are very "disappointed" with these profs but they are holding onto their positions.

You mean confirmation from the team? Cause we'll need more than that, confirmation from Bettman that Varlamov won't be suspended until the case is over has to come first.

While Bettman has the power to suspend anyone he wants, he's not going to do it before Varlamov is actually convicted. Yeah though, confirmation from the team is what Dater meant.

Eh, if they ever won, haters would still be moving those goal posts.
Damn right we are.
That's why the Leafs/Mets comparison works.

Dammit Sanjuro! You guys just got a world series
You do realize you haven't even come close to the playoffs since that finals appearance in 2006 right? Are we pretending the last 7 years don't count?
Also congrats for all the loleafs since the lockout of not making the playoffs Edmonton will somehow manage to surpass the Leafs in the length between their last playoff appearance. But it's okay we've only been bad for decades, the Oilers just may end up not making the playoffs for an entire decade with how things are right now. Hell why stop there they may go for the record 11 years.
Coming up on 8 seasons if they don't make it this year.
Congrats.
More the Seahawks just got really good and a lot of fans have popped out of nowhere.

Vavrinyuk's is saying Varly laughed while beating her. Her account of what Varlamov did is getting more egregious with each telling, not to say he didn't do it, but that's odd.

Go easy on em, kavey. They only need like 6 more 1st overall picks before they squeak into the 8th spot.
