fore......4.....

leavin it to F*kin Disney......the miserable cross promotions kings, they bought espn to use as a 24/7 promo for what's going to be telecast on ABC and then they buy a Hockey Team and name it after one of their own movies....and the dumb ass NHL sits on the hand and does nothing as the storied history of the league is tarnished.....so we got what we deserved when they unveiled this silly jersey that was originally worn by the wacky kids in the movie that's available on DVD now, and don't forget to buy your kid a jersey even if he has never stepped on ice in his life.....and that frog socialist gretzky had the balls to call the devils "mickey mouse".......wayne of course....not Janet...WE LOVE JANET....she and i won a boatload on the bolts in round one.

2nd round predictions

lets take a look at round two....

in the East I think Tampa and Boston make easy work of it.....barely breaking a sweat....I think the both win in 5.

Out West the sharkies own Detroit and should win in 5.

The Canucks may be tested by the Hot Goalie in Nashville , but ultimately will find a way and win in 6 games.

Tampa in 5
Boston in 5
Sharks in 5
Canucks in 6

5, 5, 5

this team should have come in at 6 , or actually 666......i hate the Deadwings,they sold their soul to moscow to win a few cups, they are hockeys version of the anitichrist ....as dano declared in the bambino Pub.....ABD...anyone but detroit

Teddy

Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.

'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language.. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.'
Theodore Roosevelt 1907

the joy of 6

oh my....how A-propo....that just hours after being eliminated in game 7 by their hated, hated rivals the Big, Bad Bruins, that the most storied franchise of them all finds themselves locked into the six-hole of the one list nobody wants to be a part of......SWEATER NITE WORST JERSEY COUNTDOWN...granted these were throwbacks, but apparently anyone (Even Les Habitant) will do "ANYTHING" to sell a few extra trinkets in the gift shop.....although I think a sobriety test is in order for anyone that bough one of these jerseys.

7 come eleven boys

i'll take your money home........well if dallas was on MESC , then Pheonix is chomping on those Coyote Cactus Mushrooms that carpet the desert floor, what is goin on with this jersey? this looks like a deranged mutant Coyote that is ready to attack something or someone.....hard to believe there are 6 worse than this.

after yesterday gentle text reminder, we expect significant BLOG TRaFFIC on this site, don't be afraid to leave a comment.....as Reggie Dunlop would say...."let em know your there".

8, eight, ate, NATE

as Jackson would say.....'someones gonna have to explain it to me, i'm not sure i understand"....this "jersey"? belongs to and was worn by the Dallas Stars.....really? what the fuk is it ? a steer on mescaline maybe ? oh how the Minnesota North Stars have fallen from the sky.

No,NEIN, ichsnay, nada

ugly jerseys are ugly jerseys, but the sting is always sharper when the ugly jersey occur for no other reason....this franchise had beautiful uniforms when they were winning 5 Stanley Cups, how sad they sank this (kevin) lowe.

I think its supposed to be a "Drop of Oil".....obligatory street cred black....the marketing whiz kid who dreamt this up should be dragged through the streets of edmonton.

TEN

Long after the flames left town, the city of Hotlanta was awarded a New NHL Franchise, and how did they repay their fans and show gratitude towards a second chance ? with an ugly conglomeration of sweaters worth of this list.....General William Tecumseh Sherman had the right idea, this place s/b burnt to the ground.

“Every attempt to make war easy and safe will result in humiliation and disaster” General Sherman

Bottom Ten

well the top ten list generated sooo much Buzz around headquarters that we decided to review and reveal the ten worst jerseys of all time.....certain to ignite a watercooler debate or two.....each day we will reveal the next jersey in reverse order....some ground rules....we limited this list to the NHL....no college, minor leagues or international jerseys....and the sweater had to be worn in at least one regular season game...up next ...number ten

syria

This is Odd behavior for someone that hillary referred to as a "GREAT REFORMER" less than a month ago.

Syrian security forces open fire on funeral processions, killing at least nine people and prompting two lawmakers to resign just one day after deadliest crackdown of protests against authoritarian leader


cmon now spoony, go over there and sit down with these despots like you said you would during the campaign...i bet they are anxiously waiting your arrival...stare down your nose at them and make them fell ashamed and awestruck by your genius.

in CASE you forgot

this was my post from April 25th 2010....almost exactly 1 year ago...

NHL Playoffs

this is a hockey blog remember ?

not sure how many were lucky enough to tune in yesterday afternoon, it wasn't easy what with the Mets, Yanks, NFL Draft all happening, but when the Cup is raised next month we may look back to what occurred in Chicago Stadium as the biggest turning point........trailing 4-3 late in the 3rd period the Hawks desperately needed an equalizing goal ......with 50 seconds left and the goalie pulled, Marion Hossa was whistled for a 5 minute Major for shoving a predator from behind, sending him crashing into the boards......the Hawks would now be shorthanded....game over....

not so fast, inexplicably the Preds instead of playing keep away with the puck in the Chicago zone, coughed it up....the Hawks raced into Nashville zone and re-pulled their goalie...30 seconds left.........they whipped it around the net out to the point, slid pass into the slot for a rifle shot...SAVE....the rebound was skipping away from the crease when PATRICK KANE pounced and redirected into the idle twine.....tie game...tie game.......13 seconds left......onto OT.

But alas the power play continues into the extra session, and so the Preds would have the man advantage for the first 4:10 of bonus hockey......Chi Stadium Greeted the Hawks to a standing ovation and roared their approval with every zone clearing of the extra session...the preds barely threatened, and whom else but Marion Hossa, fresh from the penalty box, would skate into Nash zone untouched and receive a giftwrapped pass on the doorstep......Rush and Division are still trembling from the eruption that ensued after Hossa scored....Hawks Win, Hawks win...

it was a game for the ages, and if Chief Blackhawk gets to carry Lord Stanley's Chalice , one should look no further than yesterday as the defining moment ...at least so far.

don't look now

i think the Sharkies of San Jose had a "Nashville" moment the other night.....remember when i predicted the Hawks would win the Cup after their miracle comeback and OT win over the Preds last year......well the Sharks found themselves in a similar situation against LaLa......down 4-0 and facing a 2-1 hole in the series, the Sharks roared back and won 6-5 in the extra session....they may never look back.

and speaking of the defending Stanley Cup Champions........the return of Bolland has awoken the offensive Beast of the Blackhawks......5-0 last night ensures that "everybody" returns to the windy city.....think the Canuckleheads are worried ? ? they oughtta be.......even if they survive the series, these two extra flights will eventually wear them down......i am clinging to my San Jose vs Tampa Final.....although the lightning are on life support.

from the sun drenched golf course

to the warm and cozy Bar.......when it Rains, We Pour. and thus was the CASE this past weekend at the Delaware Water Gap Country Club......the monsoon of saturday drove us off the course after the front 9 and into welcoming atmosphere of an exclusive bar....Tsunami warnings were posted and we were indeed flooded with booze....as the pictures may hint.

The Real Season Begins

and so we go round one......possibly the best ten days of the season for action packed hockey....predictions please:

Rangers over Caps in 6
Bruins over Habs in 7
Bolts over Penguinis in 5
Sabres over Flyers in 6

out west :

Coyotes over deadwings in 6
Sharkies over Kings in 6
Quacks over Preds in 7
Knuckleheads over Hawks in 7


it is preposterous to try and predict a Stanley Cup Final before the 1st round, so here goes:

Tampa Bay vs San Jose.

Uncle MO is beaten

wow.....so much for our next triple crown winner......Uncle Mo , who earlier in the day on Trackside live had the experts debating not if he would win the Derby, BUT if he could win the triple Crown.....but a funny thing happened on the way to Howard Beach....Unle Mo was caught , passed and turned to stone by two Horses in the stretch at the Wood.....and so this opens up the derby field significantly........Bob Baffert (Midnight Interlude and the Factor) and Nick Zito ( Dialed In ) may battle it out .

Bring On the Caps

oh What a Saturnalia Saturday it was.....the Broadway Blueshirts roared back from a deficit twice and crushed the hated devils....even though the satans were quoted as being eager to end the Ranger season.......and then the Lightning Bolts of Tampa Bay took care of busineech agains the Hurry-canes alice..........and thus we are IN......Bring on the Caps Oy Vey !

yeah

I just heard my Uncle Steve is coming to hang out with me next weekend....I am so excited...we can light the grill and drink beeeeere in the yard and watch baseball....i cant wait.

50/50

Travelin man cruzed to victory
Stay Thirsty was crushed.

watch out for Mr Nick Zito and Dialed In....

Derby Preps

two good ones today....both from Gulfstream Park.........I; along with the rest of the racing community love the 4/5 favorite TRAVELIN MAN in the Swale.......and later in the Florida Derby i am going with a longer shot in STAY THIRSTY.......a good horse, and even better advice.

Do you believe in Miracles ???????
YES !!!!!!

Stars and Stripes forever
The Jersey to end all Jerseys'

God Bless her everyday.

the runner up

THE BROADWAY Blueshirts.....the Crest that brings a tear to the eye, through all its incarnations throughout her history, the proud colors of our Nation.....Ranger Nation.....a tight knit cult like community that for 54 years stood together in the balconies of multipe MSG'second only to our beloved United States of America.

i meant these two

Anna's got a pair....but i did mean these two jerz's

american idle got nothin on us

at last ...the curtain draws ....and so we reach....the final showdown....this is for all the marbles in Declan Molloys' playpen.......the answer my friends....is blowin in the wind....the answer is blowin in the saturday morning wind.......but heres a clue.........it all comes down to these two...

how do we keep the sweater night nation in suspense?

i shall tell you tomorrow....
