Shad sneaking in there about 15 hours too late

Better late than never

One thing I've noticed on Twitter, which isn't necessarily surprising...most of the comments for the stuff guys like Mackey post are sycophantic in nature. That's probably because they block the ones that disagree with them, of course, but it's tiresome reading "Great take, Jason!!" over and over again.

Somebody should just reply to him with "**** ****", DD style.

Exactly nine years ago today, we were all sitting at work in fevered anticipation of Game 7 against the Red Wings. Of course the 2016 Cup win was also on this day. A blessed day indeed.

It sure is. June 12, 2009 was the emotion I've shown in my entire life I believe...

I spent all of the third period feeling like I was going to puke every organ out of my body.

I was at my brother's house in DC pacing on his patio chain smoking and watching through the window. He eventually came out and said "your hockey team is about to win the **** Stanley Cup get inside"

@shmenguin hasn't posted since Friday...he visited the board on Monday but has been on radio silence. I'm worried about him, and the effects of all of the Caps celebrations.

Meh, he said he had little to discuss right now and wouldn't be around as often...he'll be all right...the draft is right around the corner, and then we're gonna sign Tavares...

Or when they trade for Karlsson...

Let's get Hoffman instead, he's probably available on the cheap right now...we can send his wife-thing to the minors...

Postby **Lemon Berry Lobster** » Wed Jun 13, 2018 9:18 am

Send her to the minors? You want her to be a pedophile along with a cyber bully...

She really can't do worse...

Hasn't this franchise endured enough WAG shenanigans with the CPZ experience?

Yeah in the cheese toast league...we need some NHL Housewives ****...

The offseason is a long, hard road.

Postby **Lemon Berry Lobster** » Wed Jun 13, 2018 9:34 am

That Simon contract extension is right around the corner dodint...don't you worry

Side note: Weekly salary cap in the ECHL was up to $13,260 last season. I'm consistently amazed by the guys like CPZ who play 5+ seasons down there, after it's clear they have no future above the level, for $500 a week.

Yeah, but you're playing pro hockey...as a job...with some friends...and your whole job is just to be better at hockey...

Postby **meow** » Wed Jun 13, 2018 10:10 am

Housing and utilities are usually covered by the team as well. $500 a week is decent when it doesn't have to go towards those bills.

Says the guy who played for Pop Tarts.

Do you know how much money he saved not having to buy pop tarts...? It was the best move he could have made...

Postby **meow** » Wed Jun 13, 2018 10:23 am

The pop tart clause really stalled negotiations. My agent wanted his cut, so he was on it like a dog on a bone.

Damn kids have it easy these days. Did you see they make pop tarts with extra frosting now? Shake my damn head.

Postby **Lemon Berry Lobster** » Wed Jun 13, 2018 10:54 am

The non-frosted pop tarts are superior.
