a few good chuckles from DGB this morn (the teams that are out)

[puckhead]

Down Goes Brown: What went wrong? Excuses from the NHL's losers

New Jersey Devils - John Maclean's pre-game team meetings all consisted of him sternly standing cross-armed in front of a chalkboard with "coach's strategy" written on it for an hour, before suddenly turning around and saying "Oh wait, is that me?"

Atlanta Thrashers - Do you have any idea how demoralizing it is to realize that you're Winnipeg's second choice?

 

[SLY]

Pittsburgh Penguins - The loss of Matt Cooke proved devastating, as it turns out other teams play way better when they're conscious.

Montreal Canadiens - We were dominating the Bruins all season long, and then suddenly we just hit a wall. Wait, poor choice of words.


lmao

 

[dash]

Calgary Flames - In hindsight, inspirational preseason rallying cry of "Never settle for anything less than being the absolute best team in the province" probably didn't aim high enough.

No shit, Sherlock.

/Not a shot at DGB, directed more at the coaching staff and players

 

[elocomotive]

If we say pro athletes "hit the links" when they are knocked out of the playoffs (or don't make them at all), what do golfers do when they miss the cut?

Funny stuff, puck. Pretty good dig on the Flyers...

"Buffalo Sabres - Struggled on faceoffs during our playoff series with the Flyers, which hurt since there was one at center ice after virtually every shot we took on net"
