2008/09 NHL Thread

Good stuff, beef. Didn't know 'marketing and PR expert' was on your resume. Will remember that in the future.

 

As has been pointed out already, the suspension makes the league look foolish and serves to enhance the image of the leauge as a bush league operation.

Not what was said.

 

What Avery said does not make the league looks foolish. It makes Avery look like a smirking lovesick pygmy.

 

Sean Avery: "Sloppy seconds."

Suspended.

Shaquille O'Neal: "Hey, Kobe, tell me how my ass tastes."

Not suspended.

I agree with Flash.

 

She was forced to listen to JR talking about Canadian politics. It would drive anyone to madness.

The Dalai Lama told me, once when I was caddying for him, that he met JR at a $500-a-plate fundraiser for Sheila Copps. JR bought three plates that night, but I digress! Liberal as the Lama is, anyway, he got so sick of JR's Tory bashing that by the end of the night he actually threatened to cut him. The Dalai Lama, driven to threats of homicide, can you believe it? He told me he actually had nightmares for weeks afterward.......Robert Stanfield and underthrown footballs......while Brian Mulroney and Ronald Reagan duetted on "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling." He would wake up in a cold sweat. Only a couple of shots of Southern Comfort, ironically, would settle his nerves. He needed extensive psychotherapy afterward.....and it was all because of JR and political talk. That's why the Lama doesn't like to talk about politics. Little-known story.....but he shared it with me.

Unfortunately, that was all I got for the effort. There would be no money. Well, he did also tell me that on my deathbed I would receive total consciousness. So I got that going for me, which is nice.

 

It's called prevention. Say Phanuef or Iginla snaped because Avery was skating away from them during a blow out refusing to drop the gloves and either one of them jumps him and ends up fucking him up ala-steve moore. How then do you spin that? Both of them poster boys for the league, oh yeah, and they both play on the same team as Bertuzzi as a constant reminder.

 

Thanks for completely missing the point.

 

If Shaq had said, "Hey, Kobe, ask Vanessa how my ass tastes," might he have been suspended then? Just curious.

 

Awesome.

 

Never said I was. Using common sense.

 

For the record, I couldn't stand Sheila Copps, liked Bob Stanfield a lot
and the only Tory I bashed recently was our bullyboy Prime Minister.

Just sayin'

 

I notice, though, you do not deny the confrontation with the Lama. ;D
