Injecting a Little Levity

From the Onion:
SAN JOSE, CA—Baffled members of the Chicago Blackhawks reportedly scrutinized San Jose’s logo Tuesday in an attempt to determine some logical reason as to why it pictures a ferocious underwater predator eating a hockey stick. “Sharks are primarily carnivorous, so it really makes no sense for them to suddenly introduce wood to their diet,” said center Jonathan Toews, wondering how a hockey stick would wind up in the ocean. “Isn’t a mascot animal supposed to be in favor of hockey? Why then would he ruin a good stick by biting it in half? Also, not to get too nitpicky, but San Jose is inland, so they don’t have sharks, unless the shark is bursting up through the rink, which is just unrealistic and stupid.” The San Jose Sharks were reportedly just as confused by the Blackhawks logo, failing to understand what a somewhat racist representation of a Native American had to do with hockey.
Ahh, I needed that.

At my first job I worked with a guy from Taiwan, and we had a similar conversation. He was saying that it shows disrespect for their “tool,” and that, for example, if you had a team of ninjas you would never have a logo of them breaking their samurai sword or burning their ninja outfit. He was very earnest about it…
Question for the dudes:
Do you know if there is any way to find our who was on the extended roster for the Sharks in the PO’s…
I was discussing Al Stalock on FTF and noticed that he isn’t listed on Woster’s active roster any more, along with Torrey Mitchel and Jason Demers… (obvious for those guys)…
After game 2 of the WCF’s I noticed some players leaving right after the game from the back gate of the tank. I saw Ryan Vesce in that group and I figured it was the extra roster guys. If Stalock was in SJ as the third back-up doesn’t that indicate that DW has much more faith in him that maybe we think?
Wonder if that all but tells us that he will get the backup job next year??
A bunch of guys got called up after the PO’s ended for the Baby sharks. It was probably for more bodies in practice and to get some of the kids used to the atmosphere. I am not sure how much I’d read into it. They already had Karlsson there as well.
sounds like that hit by willie mitchell reminded toews he had a brain. perhaps he should change his last name to plato.
douchebag.
Either MJ isn’t familiar with the work of The Onion, or there are some post-series Toews quotes floating around that somebody needs to link…
But, he read it on the internet, it MUST be true.
it is true. everything on the internet is true.
sorry guys, my bad. but, that quote is put together really well….and i was just lookin’ for a reason to reference that mitchell hit at some point. call it my sour grapes for the series.
I forgive you 🙂
Not me! I will hold this grudge until my dying day. *shakes fist*
Yzerman to Tampa huh?
I guess Purdy really did know the skinny…
Hope he is right about Marleau too!
