So my respect to you and to whatever article you come out with. That said, I understand that the lists comparing this to that may be easy/easier to write than something like this, but this is the best one in a long time. More like this, or your 'flow-charts' or commentary on a recent piece of NHL news; they've always been your strengths.Tie Karkouliasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-5249292757178781802010-12-09T16:40:53.815-05:002010-12-09T16:40:53.815-05:00Best one of the new sold-out-to-the-man era!Best one of the new sold-out-to-the-man era!Martin Palazzottohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06400690740676782549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-45272094048446635852010-12-09T10:11:47.709-05:002010-12-09T10:11:47.709-05:00Problem: My TV is stuck on an image of Sidney Cros...Problem: My TV is stuck on an image of Sidney Crosby, and the Penguins aren't even playing in this game.<br />Solution: You have accidentally switched over to an NBC broadcast.<br /><br />I didn't realize Leafs fans like him about as much as Red Wings fans.

Frustrating thing is, the funniest parts here are when DGB starts sounding genuinely angry about how damn complicated TV remotes are, not the "oh, did you hear the one about Crosby being overexposed?" jokes.<br />And that's what DGB used to be. A guy sounding off about something he was passionate about, and it was funny because the guy himself is funny.<br />I can't help but think DGB may have grown to feel uninspired by season # of post-lockout misery, so I can excuse the lack of Leafs content to an extent. But without that DGB voice present in the content, there's rarely a reason to want to read recycled jokes.<br /><br />Just some in depth honesty.<br />-Liam (we've corresponded before)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-64709173188716419292010-12-08T14:13:38.564-05:002010-12-08T14:13:38.564-05:00So, with super HD/3D can you see all the spittle b...So, with super HD/3D can you see all the spittle building up in front of the benches?Ducks Daily Bloghttp://ducksdailyblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-39365296295153473302010-12-08T13:40:17.549-05:002010-12-08T13:40:17.549-05:00Damn DGB, you look just like Kyle Wellwood.Damn DGB, you look just like Kyle Wellwood.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-6567090344943639332010-12-08T12:26:24.540-05:002010-12-08T12:26:24.540-05:00At least you only have one yeller to worry about i...At least you only have one yeller to worry about in Pierre McGuire.
