OMG, letter a co worker sent to the NHL

[Snazzy 0]

And here is how the receivers of that email will respond.

I doubt they even opened it.

I think at most, if this letter was even sent. It never made it past an intern who does nothing but open stacks of letters all day. I am sure most rant and rave about Bettman and the officiating, and how they feel their team was singled out by the nhl, because there was some grand scheme to do so.

If the nhlpa isn't up in arms and ready to walk out over this so called conspiracy that's taking over the game, don't expect changes anytime soon.

Interesting letter. But nothing tops the best letter ever written. I speak of course of the one below:

Dear Connie,

I know the counselor said we shouldn't contact each other during our "cooling off" period, but I couldn't wait anymore.

The day you left, I swore I'd never talk to you again but that was just the wounded little boy in me talking. Still, I never wanted to be the first on to make contact. In my fantasies, it was always you who would come crawling back to me. I guess my pride needed that. But now I see that my pride’s cost me a lot of things. I'm tired of pretending I don't miss you. I don't care about looking bad anymore. I don't care who makes the first move as long as one of us does. Maybe it's time we let our hearts speak as loudly as our hurt.

This is what my heart says "There's no one like you, Connie. I look for you in the eyes and breasts of every woman I see, but they're not you. They're not even close."

Two weeks ago I met this girl at Flamingoes and brought her home with me. I don't say this to hurt you, but just to illustrate the depth of my desperation. She was young, maybe 19 with one of those perfect bodies that only youth and maybe a childhood spent ice skating can give you. I mean, just a perfect body. **** like you wouldn't believe and ass that just wouldn't quite. Every man's dream, right?

As I sat on the couch being blown by this stunner, I thought, look at the stuff we've made important in our lives. It's all so superficial. What does a perfect body mean? Does it make her better in bed? Well, in this case, yes, but you see what I'm getting at. Does it make her a better person? Does she have a better heart than my modestly attractive Connie? I doubt it. And I'd never really thought of that before. I don't know, maybe I'm just growing up a little.

Later, after I'd tossed her about a half a pint of throat yogurt, I found myself thinking, "Why do I feel so drained and empty?" It wasn't just her flawless technique or her suttee shameless hunger; but something also, some nagging feeling of loss. Why did it feel incomplete? And then it hit me. It didn't feel the same because you weren't there to watch. Do you know what I mean? Nothing feels the same without you. Jesus, Connie, I'm just going crazy without you. And everything I do just reminds me of you.

Do you remember Carol that singe mom we met at the Holiday Inn lounge last year? Well, she dropped by last week with a pan of lasagna. She said she figured I wasn't eating right without a woman around. I didn't know what she meant till later; but that's no the real story. Anyway, we had a few glasses of wine and the next thing you know we're banging away in our old bedroom. And this tart's a total monster in the sack. She's giving me everything, you know, like a real woman does when she's not hung up about her weight or her career and whether the kids can here us. And all of the sudden, she sports that tilting mirror on your grandmother's old vanity. So she puts it on the floor and we straddle it, right, so we can watch ourselves and it's totally hot, but it makes e sad too because I can't help thinking "Why didn't Connie ever put the mirror on the floor? We've had this old vanity for what, 14 years and we never used it as a sex toy."

Saturday your sister drops by with my copy of the restraining order. I mean, Vickie’s just a kid and all, but she's got a pretty good head on her shoulders and she’s been a real friend to me during this painful time. She's given me lots of good advice about you and about women in general. She's pulling for us to get back together. Connie, she really is.

So we're doing Jell-O shots in a hot bath and taking about happier times. Here's this teenage girl with the same DNA as you and all I can do is think of how much she looks like you when you were 18. And that just about makes me cry. And then it turns out Vicky's really into the whole anal thing, and that gets me to thinking about how many times I pressured you about trying it and how that probably fueled some of the bitterness between us. But do you see how even then, when I'm thrusting inside your baby sister's cinnamon ring all I can do is think of you? It's true Connie. In your heart you must know it. Don't you think we could start over? Just wipe out all the grievances away and start fresh? I think we can. If you feel the same please please please, let me know.

Otherwise, can you let me know where the ******* remote is?

Love Dan

I know man- I wish I knew who actually wrote that. It's been floating around on the internet for so long and I have to think that guy hasn't gotten enough free beers out of it. I'd buy him one

[Norm_Maracle For Vezina 0]

cool guy.. great letter!! thumbs up all the way.. i would buy this man a beer

[10 Minute Misconduct 104]

win!

Surely this will result in meaningful change

Exactly, this will go in the trash can faster than Darren Helm on a breakaway. It is just silly, immature and I can't believe I am wasting my time responding to it.

Edit. The OP letter, not the Connie thing.

He needs to be careful, some of those can be viewed as threats and can lead to prosecution.

On the other hand, how can the league allow O'Halleran to officiate Wings games? Seems like everytime he is an official, there are questionable calls that for the most part determine to outcome of the game.

[PavelIsMoney 0]

I thought this was pretty funny, some of you guys are taking it to seriously.. haha. If a guy gets locked up for this it would be sad when thers so much worse things going on with nothing being done, but thats my opinion.. some of you guys need to chill and look at this as humor more then OMG HE MIGHT BLOW UP SOMETHING. Paranoids.

[titanium2 867]

Should the NHL expect similar letters from Hawks fans tomorrow morning?

[Yzermania19 1]

Yeah, some of that can be taken as threats, assuming it even got read to that point. I'm sure whoever goes through those emails probably read the first line, figured it was some disgruntled Red Wings fan and hit the "delete" button. I'm 99.99% certain Bettman or any of his minions never saw it.

[Yzersyukstromberg 0]

I'll admit that I chuckled a bit...but...

What's the point in even writing and sending a letter with that type of language and threatening tone. He could have probably gotten alot further by keeping it clean, and sounding a bit educated. I agree with what the point of his letter was, but think the way he went about it was ridiculous. Won't even be read beyond the first line at the league office. And I agree, anger management wouldn't be a bad idea.

Oops...double clicked 'post'...sorry

If he wanted the NHL to really view this seriously, he would have started with "O'Hallaran is lazy and he sucks"

[HomeNugget 2]

Your coworker is an embarrassment to Red Wings fans.

[NC WINGS FAN 5]

Threat? Nah It would be a waste of time on the part of the league to pursue any kind of legal action. I am sure this guy is not the only one to wish a bullet would find its way to Bettman's head.

Hell, didn't Chelios once say he thought Bettman should be gassed?

[NC WINGS FAN 5]

Besides, how can the league hate the Redwings? They have one of the biggest fan bases in the league!!

That would be like the NFL hating the Cowboys and Packers or the MLB hating the Yankees and Red Sox!!

The Redwings are one of the league's biggest money makers, why would they hate and conspire against them? It makes no sense when money is the name of the game.

P.S. I am sure the league after that game 7 against the Anaslime Dicks.

Because there's "for the win" and there's "FOR THE MOTHER ******* WIN, *****!!!".

Awesome.
