Temp Tuesday - HF29 subs in for a rant

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:

Adorable holiday-themed kitty!


And additional hot babes. Go Clips!

    Fuck Yeah!!!

    Great 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!!

    1. 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.

  3. It 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.

    Good work, 29.

  6. Rants - good for the soul, Buttface rants - great for the hockey-deprived soul.
    mmm, hot dude or dudette - nice for the eyes.

    No one could disagree with that, 29.

  12. Well 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 :(

      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.

    The 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.

    Replies
    1. I realize you did not compare only lament, but comparing 29 to Brown is like comparing Justin Bieber to Roger Daltry.

    2. So would 29 be the Bieb or the Who?

    4. @Kmaxx, yeah I kinda mixed that up a bit but you got the idea.
      29 = Daltry or Plant
      Brown = Bieber or Bubble

    NHL 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!

    1. I have mixed emotions. I want hockey, but I also want to stick it to the NoHL.

      How 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!

      Delete
    2. I think it's all moot, until they actually announce something.

      I still hope for NoHL to crash and burn!

      Carl 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.
