McGuffie.

And with good reason. I mean, seriously? Regina?? There were two "World Leagues", neither of which had anything to do with each other. The World Football League was a clownshow of a competing league to the NFL and never had any teams outside the US. The World League of American Football is the one people are thinking of here, which was an offshoot of the NFL and changed its name to NFL Europe. In any case, it's not an applicable lesson. The NFL was trying to spread popularity of an entirely new sport. Hockey would obviously be a familiar sport, but it's still not a good idea.

Yet hilarious!

Pssst....that thing the wings are attached to?

To be honest I do hold third jerseys to probably a higher standard, because I really hate the whole idea of a third jersey. This one isn't actually bad, but all that black is kind of an assault on the eyes. But I'm happy they didn't get stupid with it - it'd be a good look if it were the regular jersey.

good point. It is decreed, henceforth, when they wear this jersey they are the Carolina Tropical Storms.

Bingo. Unpinned. The point has been made. (I hope.) And the title changed so that people who quick-skim the page without really looking can still the big honking 82-0 they were looking for.

Hey, you know what would be original? A black jersey! Oooooooo, intimidating! And so hip! At least the Canes actually have black as a legitimate part of their color scheme. This isn't really a terrible jersey.

Yes it was. Not trying to single you out, but it was there. But, the topic is now pinned, as this is the fourth time I've had to merge this topic. It must be important. So now everyone can see it.

Can't really argue with that

Do you always get this talkative when you take offense to something? You're right - you're a lot funnier than I am. When you say you're not jumping down my throat just before you write your third or fourth epic manifesto on the subject, that's comedy. If you knew me at all you'd know I don't join in the Sammy-bashing or the Lilja-bashing or the Devereaux-bashing or any of the other stuff. You're making me want to start, though.

That's a nonsense stat. He also shoots more than any other player in the league by a wide margin, so of course he's going to miss a lot more. Guess what - he also hit on 14.6%. Sammy's percentage is 4.4%. Um - it is true. Sammy cannot ******* shoot. Get a grip dude. I know what Sammy brings to the team. I'm also painfully aware of his major shortcoming. You can go back and comb through every single post I've ever made and you won't find one Sammy-bash, and I make one joke and you go off ranting like I ran over your puppy. I guess we can't joke about how Pavel looks like a space alien, or Hasek is a walking adventure every time he ventures out of the net, or how Chelios once met George Washington, all because they are way better hockey players than I am. Remind me to totally overreact next time you've got any criticism to say.

He misses. It's funny you should go off on me like that....I've never been a Sammy basher. I do reserve the right to make funny joke, though. So calm down. But you can't deny he needs a soccer net to shoot at. Have you seen his shooting percentage?

Of all the people on the team, Flip needs the least work in chasing down loose pucks, IMO. The other players could take a lesson from him.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to get your own Center Ice than to always be driving out to a bar?

Sammy shoots wrong.....horribly horribly wrong.

Sources tell me the towel boy brought in some mean towels. Nice and fluffy and soft, just like the defense.

Great. Now the obnoxious whiny Boston fans will claim they're cursed. Wah wah, cry cry, we're so tortured.

welcome 2 detroit city

Dang, I thought I was the only one who felt that way.

The defense needs to be flushed down the ******* toilet. Holy s***.

Hemingway twice, and Butler once, and I know he missed Odoms once too. So at least four.

How many guys did Threet overthrow today? Four? There were some wide-open receivers that Threet threw five yards beyond. Offense looked better anyway, but Miami is garbage so that doesn't say much.

Well, I tell ya one thing. If you do buy it, prepare to feel very ripped off when you open the bottle. It costs about $30 and they put 72 pills in the bottle, which could easily fit at least twice that many. You look inside and they don't even fill it up halfway, and they shove some cotton in there so that the pills don't rattle around and give it away. 72 pills is a 12-day supply. You're supposed to use it for 8 weeks too. I'll call it worth it if I've lost like 10 or 12 pounds by then, but holy crap do they have a gig going.

Picky picky picky. You know what I mean. Actually, correction: you did kinda miss it. Phoenix does have one top notch goalie, but right now I'd take Howard over both Montoya and Tellqvist. I didn't say anything about starting in the league. What do you mean? Look around the league and tell me you think Howard wouldn't at least be considered a backup on a lot of these teams.
