Bullet points for what you missed while having nightmares of
the IRS seizing your bank accounts...
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST Bettman you fucking suck, you fuckstick. You know, I have been trying to be cool about this whole lockout thing. Life goes on, there are more important things, capitalism, etc., etc. But you see, I have a college degree in labour relations (amongst my many, many degrees) so I know all about how union-management bargaining works. Unions and management figure out the economic situation, they see the size of the pie, and after some pains, figure out how to divide that pie. Barring exceptional circumstances, that takes a few weeks, maybe a month, after a work stoppage begins. But this NHL shit is just fucked up. Training camps should have started in early September; meaning, we've now had THREE FUCKING MONTHS of a bunch of fucking useless billionaires or millionaires trying to figure this shit out. That's a fucking joke. By December I should be deep into wondering whether (Y)Emelin will be a finalist for the Norris or whether PatCHes will reach 50 goals, instead of being deep into trying to find an NBA team to root for because I need SOMETHING to watch. We lost A WHOLE FUCKING SEASON less than a decade ago in order to solve all of hockey's economic problems forever. Well that worked out brilliantly. Fuck this shit. Go Clippers!

Thanks moe for not deactivating my key-card to the site. Let's pay tribute to you and your tireless efforts blogging this non-hockey season with the important stuff. Hot babe:
I am laying back and thinking of England as we speak. Hot dude:
/ pant pant (nttawwt). Random yet awesome musical interlude:
Adorable holiday-themed kitty!
And additional hot babes. Go Clips!
Fuck Yeah!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat rant 29. Maybe you could get Bettman's personal cellphone number and straighten this mess out.
That being said, I'll lay odds today's meeting produces SFA. WJC is just around the corner. Go Canada!!
Got to agree, buttface is just trying to pull another PR stunt to appease the 'greatest fans in the world' - he still believes we're that stupid.
DeleteFUCK YOU BUTTMAN AND FUCK YOU JERKEMY!
Awesome fucking rant Brother 29!
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to see an old school 4H4 post every once in a while. I was losing the connection between what I was missing and what I was dreaming about / having nightmares of.
ReplyDeleteGood work, 29.
Nice Rant 29. Its moronic and thats the NHL
ReplyDeleteGracias kidz! I feel better now. Not really.
ReplyDeleteRants - good for the soul, Buttface rants - great for the hockey-deprived soul.
ReplyDeletemmm, hot dude or dudette - nice for the eyes.
No one could disagree with that, 29.
Hot for the Doctor.
ReplyDeleteI had to Google to make sure she was over 18 (she looks 12) and HELLOOOO DOCTOR
DeleteMust be why Movember is a big hit.

ReplyDeleteSuck it Marois.
ReplyDeleteFly our beautiful Canadian flag for ALL (TOUS) to see!
Woohoo!!
DeleteI was very disturbed seeing a girl stomping our country's flag last week at an independence rally.
I can't believe I posted today and didn't mention that the VICTORIA'S SECRET FASHION SHOW goes tonight at 10 PM on CBS. I go to the box and I feel shame.
ReplyDeleteTwo minutes for your avatar still looking so good.

DeleteWell that got me all fired up. I miss those rants. Gorgeous kitty BTW. Dug out the 100 anniversary DVD collection on Sunday. Needed a hockey fix badly. I was in the kitchen & heard "what a brilliant pass by Gomez". WTF? Then I realized he was playing for the Rangers. Probably was the last time that was ever said :(
ReplyDeleteZep on Dave;
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=j0hbtVIfMgs
I rarely reply to my own comments but;
Delete1. Canned Heat
2. Not enough 'no's'
3. Elvis 'had CHicks'
4. Plant's boots
This is a fucking fantastic interview. Old white guys talking rock and roll. You think Leno could have pulled this off? Fuck that. Dave is in his element and Zep is a fresh breath of coolness. I'll stick to my belief that Bob Marley is the most transcendent artist in music. I've been a huge Hendrix, Stones and Clash freak but I have been re-listening to Led Zeppelin a lot and they are inching their way into my ear space as maybe the purest rock and rollers. The Clash is still, to me, the best rock I've ever indulged but man the licks Zep plays are fucking shattering.
Also, too, not Mitt;

Astounds me that the election was ever tight at any point.
Deletethey never got big, but Jane Addiction always deserves special mention
Deleteheh,
ReplyDeletehttp://www.rollingstones.com/404
I love a good 404 message, that one rulez
DeleteCrickets....
ReplyDeleteEveryone's gone to the fashion show.
Wow!...I drift off for a couple of days and BAMMM! 29 comes back with a major league rant. Nice one sir - and good on ya for going with the English chick. There are things the English still appear to build bigger...but I digress...Let's get this shit done Buttman you fuck!
ReplyDeleteThe thing about Zep was/is the drumming. Big heavy sticks crashing through song after song. I love it! Rock on!
Oh HF29, I miss you so. I've been forced to rely on Down Goes Brown for my funny, but he likes the Leafs.
ReplyDeleteI realize you did not compare only lament, but comparing 29 to Brown is like comparing Justin Bieber to Roger Daltry.
DeleteSo would 29 be the Bieb or the Who?
DeleteI'm actually Ke$ha
DeleteThx Stinky!
@Kmaxx, yeah I kinda mixed that up a bit but you got the idea.
Delete29 = Daltry or Plant
Brown = Bieber or Bubble

ReplyDeleteBest Erections of 2012.
ReplyDeleteHearings by Quebec Labour Relations Board scheduled December 6&7. NHL is trying to postpone.
ReplyDeleteOpposition, keep your momentum and vote against bill 14.

ReplyDeleteTanenbaum: ‘We’ll continue to talk up until we get a deal’
ReplyDeleteGo leaf go!!!
DeleteWhoops!!
+1 to Maritimer for that
DeleteI agree though, Tanenbaum is clearly in the reasonable faction here.
The Leafs, Canadians and Rangers have the most to lose. Although you would think the Broons and Philties would also be thinking about apeasment in our time.
DeleteNHL will sign a deal with the players just before Christmas then they will say: "Merry Fucking Christmas baby!!" Welcome back and bring lots of cash!
ReplyDeleteUh, no thanks. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fuck you Gary, I ain't buyin'.
I have mixed emotions. I want hockey, but I also want to stick it to the NoHL.
DeleteHow could I possibly not watch if HABS are playing?
I read somewhere that if you PVR the game and start to watch it after about 15-20 mins in, fast forward thru commrcials, that would work, but I don't really know.
I still refuse to spend 1 red cent on anything NHL.
FUCK YOU!
I think it's all moot, until they actually announce something.
DeleteI still hope for NoHL to crash and burn!

Did you know Thinking Aboot was linked to from a Deadspin comment today? http://deadspin.com/5965954/?post=54913353
(Hope that link works. It's in the Sepinwall chat if it doesnt)
People are reading you Steve (besides me)! Nicely done.
ps that's a quality list in that post. I am working through Breaking Bad for the first time (almost done S2) and was happy to see it there
DeleteGotta love Netflix. S3 bagged.

DeleteOh and 29 in case you where wondering according to my caluculations since I have 40,000 page views, not counting my hundreds of thousandds, you have been to my site 8000 times.
DeleteDaughter's latest collaboration (careful its a big download);

It looks pretty cool, but they want you to pay!!!
DeletePK IS DOING PART-TIME COLOUR COMMENTARY FOR THE BB-VOLT GAME AND JUST ACED THE ANALYSIS OF THE PLAY. This excited me. Needed to be caps.
ReplyDeleteDude's made for TV. They should kick out the boring regular guys and let PK do the whole game.
PKarisma!
DeleteHe's a natural.
And the BB goalie's name is Phaneuf. Lucky for him, his first name (Storm) is cool.
DeleteDustin Penner trying to do like the Jones's.
DeleteGone to play with his brother.
ReplyDeleteCANADIENS' ARMSTRONG SIGNS WITH ECHL'S GRIZZLIES
I love this quote from Cam Cole: "Jeremy Jacobs lips move when Commissioner Gary Bettman speaks." So true.
ReplyDeleteWhats more Sci Fi, a hockey season or the trailer for the new Star Trek.
ReplyDeletePot is now legal in Washington, you can have up to an ounce.
ReplyDeleteLost of joints lit at midnight when law came in to effect.
It may be the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning. Its all up to Obama.
Delete*Lots*
ReplyDeleteSo, if a deal gets done, it takes about 10 days to get everyone together and ready. The Bell Centre would only have the 18th, 24th, 25th and 31st of December open.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, the 17th shows a game scheduled with the Sabres.

ReplyDeleteNarcissist.
DeleteWalking Dead Kill Chart, without Rick their dead.
ReplyDeleteCarl is starting to catch up. That kid is a crack shot. My favourite scene was when Herschel was patching up Michonne's leg and Carl was watching from a distance with his right hand hovering over his .45 in it's holster....just like a gunslinger in the old West. And she was watching him. That was cool.
DeleteGlen is such a pussy he only has 19 kills in three seasons.
DeleteTannenbaum has left the building.
ReplyDelete...and New York.
Delete“There is no language police, it’s not possible to organize that,” Ms. De Courcy said. “What is possible is for all Quebec citizens to be language sentries.”
ReplyDeleteMange de la marde!
(See what I did there, you can't report me because I told that fucking PQ fuck to eat shit en Français. Crise d'esti tabernacque de stupidité).
Vas Chier!
DeleteI hate re-living all the merde the PQ dredges up over and over and over.
DeleteMy only hope is opposition grows a pair and causes the PQ gouvernement to fall.
I find it hilarious that the PQ fucks can't 'organize' 'that' because of funding. Orwell must be in fits of laughter as he spins.
DeleteIts almost 2fucking013 and some politihack had the nerve (or lack of) to say "language sentries". That is some sick shit.
De Courcy taking notes from the Nazi handbook? 'Cause that sounds like "if you see, hear, smell a Jew report it and we'll make sure it's on the list!" Fuck them I thought my grandparents escaped that Nazi shit for a better life...
DeleteEducation in Quebec is now going down the tubes.
ReplyDeleteUniversities handed funding cuts.
New French tests you must past or sorry, no diploma.
FUCK YOU!
*pass*
DeleteBut the Red Squares want FREE UNIVERSITY! Because free medicare doesn't force people to lie in hospital beds in hallways right?
DeleteAfter a positive presser,
ReplyDeleteFehr is now expected to comine back with bad news.
NHL rejects offer, no further talks planned.
ReplyDeleteLoad of bull. I heard Fehr's press conference on my way home and he made it sound like they were almost there. Now Buttman comes out with a OMG END OF THE FUCKING WORLD PLAYERS ARE CRAPHEADS DEAL NOWHERE CLOSE FUCK.
ReplyDeleteFuck you.
Buttman was visibly pissed off.
DeleteRead. Weep. Fuck off.

Re: Lockout, last one leaving the room please turn out the lights. Thank you, now fuck off and leave us alone. I wish the media would leave New York and report no more of this nonsense. Start covering the junior leagues instead.
