So your “as the goalie turns” link talks about JS signing with the Avs but nothing about the biggest goalie news of the day which was Colorado giving up a first rounder for Varly.

Do you even pay attention to the stories you link to? That girl is an idiot. I want those four minutes of my life back.

Come on, TH.

I’ll jump on the grammar issue since MDO won’t be here for a little while. That’s “you’re” a fuckwad. =D

Haha nah, I’m a Coyotes season ticket holder so I’m not bagging on the team with the name, it’s just been the reality for the last two to three years.

Moronic comment? I read this site every day and expect a higher level of linkage than links to that blog, so sue me for over-estimating your standards.

Insulting people? Didn’t know it was all love and flowers here. If you people read that blog on a regular basis and think it’s worth a link……… LOL ok, good for you.

It was your first post.

How are we supposed to know you read the site daily? Sure, calling you a fuckwad was a bit much, but you can’t expect to jump into the fray by insulting.

I actually laughed at your handle, so I will let that slide…

If you were a regular reader than you should also know that I’ve got no patience for people trolling on here. Your name certainly implied a certain level of troll.

You said that Hipchecks Jenna is an idiot, I would call that insulting someone who has a hell of a lot more credibility in the community than you do. She is knowen by the fans. Your not.

As Justin said, it was your first post so we had no idea where your coming from. I read your comment as coming from a Troll (you have no Display Pic or sig to show affliation, a name that could be read as bagging the coyotes, and your first post asks if our staff even pay attention to the stories they link) and I responded with my usual aggression.

I retract the Fuckwad comment,

Awwww, thank you for the kind words.

Thanks for your positive feedback and constructive criticism. If you had spent a little more time reading the blog, you would have realized that my “series” was for goalie SIGNINGS. I wasn’t even looking at the trades. I’m sorry you didn’t read the entire series or were smart enough to figure that out. I will now go finish laughing at your cowardice for posting that comment here and not on my blog. :)

It sucks

The annoying thing is that there were clouds and wind, so you think you can go outside for some hoops, but that first moment you open the door to the backyard you want to close the oven door.

Any word on Yandle yet?

I am very disheartened about this. Not having any money sucks. Curse this endless ownership debacle.
