some gems in today's Down Goes Brown

[forty_three]

Wow. That was...

Ugh


Phoenix Coyotes - Kings' goalie Jonathan Quick earned a $58 million deal in part based on his dominating performance against Phoenix in the conference finals, so it will be interesting to see how the Coyotes react to being owned by somebody with actual money.

I hope he didn't pull an oblique with that stretch.

Or the Landeskog one.




Proof positive; The Eastern Conference is just funnier. I always found that when I was writing mine.

Down Goes Brown: Other ways NHL teams are trying to make things up to the fans

Vancouver Canucks: One lucky spectator will get an official Canucks jersey and ball cap, a front-row seat, and also $7 million dollars, because they are Roberto Luongo.

Boston Bruins: Every fan at the home opener gets a chance to be repeatedly punched in the face by an enraged Jeremy Jacobs shouting "I REGRET NOTHING!"

Phoenix Coyotes: The first 10,000 fans get to try to explain the economics of hockey in Phoenix to the remaining 2,400 fans.

I think he's giving Phoenix too much credit...

Ouch....

Down Goes Brown: So you've scored a goal: The etiquette of NHL celebrations

Down Goes Brown: So you've scored a goal: The etiquette of NHL celebrations

Do: Celebrate enthusiastically when you record a hat trick.
Do not: Use up all of your energy on that celebration, since you'll want to save some for your second shift against the Flyers defense.


Do: Have a much lower key celebration ready for any goals you score into an empty net.
Do not: Be distracted by the mild annoyance in Steve Mason's voice when he points out that he's actually been there the whole time.

 

[sabresfaninthesouth]

Definitely some good ones in there.

Do: Save the over-the-top rink length celebrations for those once-in-a-lifetime moments when you've achieved the ultimate goal that you've spent the last several years of your career working towards.
Do not: Expect your celebration to be well-received by all the other Islander players at the practice who didn't just find out they've been traded.

Do: Celebrate record-breaking goals by shooting your glove out of the air by pretending that your hockey stick is a gun.
Do not: Begin to worry that Obama is now coming to take your hockey stick away, no matter how convincing that chain email you got from Tim Thomas was.

Q: Jeremy Jacobs?

A: Think Jerry Jones without the humility.

I laughed.
