Looks like he finally got around to watching X-Men: Apocalypse.

Great troll job by the Chicago Tribune here:

My cat’s favorite toy is an acorn. He will amuse himself knocking it around the house or will bring it to you to play fetch. We are about to move to the desert and I’m packing a handful just to keep him amused for awhile.

They did not win more often than not. The teams are tied for playoff victories against each other with 17 apiece.

Congrats on your Stanley Cup win this year.

Whoa hey! Check out the opening paragraph currently on Lemieux’s wiki page:

Insufferable? Yes, envy is a powerful motivator.

Watching this game on tv live, nobody was ready for the cut to McCarty pummeling Lemieux because everybody was still trying to wrap our minds around the fact that fucking Igor Larionov was fighting. This will always be one of my greatest sports memories.

And as my grandpa from Detroit would put it, “he was a damn good hockey player, too.”

Mickey Redmond? Yes, he is one of the nicest guys in the world.

Thanks for this. I knew the Wings play-by-play guy when I was a kid (grew up with his son). He was basically the nicest human being you’d ever meet. Listening to him gleefully calling the asswhooping the Wings laid out is pretty damn funny.

Oh man did Shanahan knock Roy off his hinges.

The best part of that whole saga was when Patrick Roy skated out to try and help Lemieux as he was getting pummeled by Darren McCarty and, just as Roy got there, he got absolutely leveled by Brendan Shanahan.

Tremendous read. Fuck Claude Lemieux.

Say... They grope all the eggs.
