some gems in today's Down Goes Brown

[mattola]

tis very good

Vancouver Canucks - Spent the whole year focused on getting the first goal so that we could play with the lead and wouldn't have to come from behind, only to find out at the end of the season that the NHL apparently has a different definition of "from behind" than the rest of the world.

Columbus Blue Jackets - Felt kind of bad about ruining all your expert "Blue Jackets finish dead last" predictions, so decided to hold off on winning the Cup for one more year.

 

[Slimpikins]

LOL, ouch:

Calgary Flames - Finally got around to taking down that big banner reading "Remember, we went to the Finals a few years ago so let's just keep the same roster together until we hit rock bottom" from our dressing room, because it was a terrible idea and demoralized our players and also the Vancouver Canucks need it now.

I love these two:
Anaheim Ducks - Over the last few days, every time Bruce Boudreau started a team meeting by shouting "Let's come up with a plan for finishing off those Wings!" we'd all sit there in the dark for an hour before realizing he'd just gone to lunch.

New York Islanders - When coaches urged the team to go out and match the Penguins in every area of the game during their first round series, in hindsight they probably should have made a point to exclude "terrible goaltending".
LOL-- I guess there was some positive to Fleury's sucking.

But the Leafs and Panthers is pretty good also.

I really didn't see one for me. I'm the pissed off at the world type after a devestating loss. Usually I take it out on my husband and/or kids.

That was fantastic. I will watch it again to make myself feel better after the Sharks get knocked out.

I'd say I'm a hybrid of The Single F-Bomb Fan and The Fan Who Keeps Yelling “What Are You Doing?!”

How I wish you would've been around for game 1 of this series.

Yeah, you BETTER run...

I am somewhere between the single f-bomb and the quiet disbelief guy. My F-bombs are short and to the point. Then I get quiet.



I am a goalie.

*score*
"fuck!"
*stare at the net*

LOL

I do the exact same thing... except after staring at my net I also check my angle to see how the fuck that happened.

Sounds like the outfielder who looks all over his baseball glove looking for the hole after an abysmal fielding failure.

Yeah, me too. The Penguins-Islanders series had a lot of "What Are You Doing" moments, mostly directed at Letang and Fleury.

My Dad (Leafs fan) is a combination of 16 (The Fan Who Suddenly Has to go for a Walk) and 18 (The Non-Reaction Fan) depending on how they lose. He couldn't watch the Game 7 overtime. 45 years of failure has really taken it's toll.
