You sound very much like a Cubs fan. Except that's been happening for a century.

Definitely didn't sew Roy walking out on the Avs coming at all. He wasn't the greatest coach or anything but leaving you team just a month and a half before training camp starts is pretty shitty move.

Definitely a surprise, and very late for a coach to up and walk away. I'll miss his tantrums and wall breaking antics

The wall breaking was awesome. I loved his intensity. Wasn't crazy over his systems or lack there of though. Definitely bittersweet since he is one of my favorite players all time.

In a sign of the apocalypse and all-out invasion of the post-hipster set in Motown, we just got a wahlburgers last week. Didn't want to like it, but gotta say it was pretty fucking tasty.

Talk about overhype and ridiculous. How many NCAA holdouts (please see Jultz, Hayes, et al) have turned into bonafide stars? None. And honestly, what a diva. If you got drafted (Preds), sign with your team -- it's a privilege to play in the SECOND best hockey league (Finlandian hockey league is first, OBVIOUSLY) on the planet.

Hope he works out for the Rangers...but, otherwise, hope he enjoyed his 2 seconds of attention-whoring.

I'd think this is pretty funny if I weren't a Ranger fan.

Puck Daddy Summer Series: Weird New York Rangers

The New York Rangers won their third Stanley Cup in 1940. To the dismay of generations of Rangers fans it took the team fifty-four agonizing years to win their fourth Cup.Mercifully the taunting chants of
forever came to an end when Mark Messier and the Rangers lifted the Cup in 1994. “Matteau! Matteau! Matteau!”, “This one will last a lifetime!”, and all that good stuff.But why did it take so long?

It’s obvious … the team was cursed.In the 1939-40 season, when a gallon of gas cost 11 cents, the $3-million Madison Square Garden mortgage was finally paid off. To celebrate that feel-good moment Garden executives did what anyone would have done in that situation – they performed an occult ceremony. The paid mortgage was burned in the bowl of the Stanley Cup by MSG president John Kilpatrick and three other high-ranking black mages.

Rumor has it that Peter Pettigrew and a fetal Lord Voldemort were also present for the ritual, as was
Apparently the Cup caught fire during the mortgage burning or before it. There are conflicting reports about what really happened and when. People were really focused on what was happening in Europe at the time.

There is also a story about how Hall of Famer Lynn Patrick and other teammates apparently pissed on the Cup. Some people say it was done to put the fire out, but others say it happened during a separate, earlier occasion… an occasion where Patrick and a few of his buddies decided to have a sword fight and use the Cup as a urinal to celebrate.
