Holy Shit A Black Guy! I'm an avid reader of Puck Daddy. It's grouped in with my daily blog reads along side the likes of Oilersnation, this is why you're fat, Chatelaine, Ranger Rick and Buttman's Anal Super Site (which, by the way, is a pretty brisk read IFYOUKNOWHATIMEAN!) I'm also a glutton for punishment. By that I mean for whatever reason I always seem to gravitate toward the comments section underneath the posts. Maybe it's a force of habit thanks to Oilersnation, but I can't seem to stop myself from at least scanning over what some of the douchiest fans in the league have to say about a myriad of topics.
I'm sure we all saw Johnny Boychuck give Matt Stajan the birthday bumps on Saturday. It was a sick hit. Just absolutely crushed him. Kind of reminded me of Scott Stevens. Anyway, as is the norm with every single body check these days it seems, the much talked about "head shot" came to the forefront once again. I've already talked ad nauseum about this topic so I won't get into that here. I did, however, come across a hilariously stupid comment from one of the faggy, anti-body contact crusaders (the first part is him quoting someone else);
"My favourite comment on the headshot debate came from, who else, Don Cherry:
(paraphrasing) If that's a head shot, then every time Chara hits someone, it's a headshot.
Gold."
If Chara keeps his elbows in to his body, then no, it's not. If, like Boychuk, its the primary spot of impact, or like Richards its the ONLY point of impact, then yes.
I'm just going to let this hilarity speak for itself, but come on man. You anti "head shot" crusaders have to make up your fucking mind. It's shit like this makes it pretty clear you've never played contact hockey before in your life, and therefor you should have no say in what should, or should not be legal in the NHL. I'm almost as bad at math as I am at keeping this blog afloat, so I'm not going to march into Austan Goolsbee's office and tell him how I think the best way to fix the shitty US economy is. I just wish you assholes would go away and stop watching hockey so the rest of us can enjoy seeing a guy get his clock cleaned because he tried to cross the blue line with his head down, without having to hear about what a monster Johnny Boychuck is for the next week and a half.
Wait, is there an Oilers game tonight? Huh, so there is. The Oilers are playing the Blues, and I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict a big, fat, sloppy loss. SURPRISE! Thankfully I'll only have to suffer through the first period before it's off to the land of ice and snow. I'll see you guys at the airport!
jeanshorts prediction: St. Louis: 2 points - Oilers: Pat Quinn punches O'Sullivan in the eye during the second intermission for shooting the puck wide on an open net on a break away.
GOTAYLORHALL!
