Those are the Bronies. Don't ever **** with the Bronies or you'll get ****ed with.

Oh, I know not to **** with the Bronies, Brosephus - I just couldn't think of their name. Saddle up, Bronies!

I assumed you knew Brosephene, just had to reiterate in case you somehow forgot. You can never be too safe when it comes to the Bronies.

That's a thing?

Silly Americans.

It absolutely is a thing and it's hilarious. They made a documentary about it back in 2012.

I infiltrated one of their events one time in secret inside of a horse costume. I made a documentary about it, too - it's called "My Trojan Bronie"

Better than My Brownie Trojan.

Imagine disembarking from a plane in New Orleans and seeing signs welcoming people for something called Derpy Con, not knowing what it is, and then seeing the horse costumes. It actually made for an entertaining weekend. I cannot share the stories here.

That color scheme (of the fish) is patent ready for ugly sweaters right prior to the New Year.

I stopped at Wal-Mart today to get some of my fancy shampoo. I wish I could show you the t-shirt I almost bought. It had a kitty with glasses in a robe riding a unicorn, with another kitty with glasses in a robe hanging on to the unicorn's tail, and at the bottom the word "Believe!" They were asking $4.98 for it, so I didn't buy it, but it was awesome and I might go back.

You know what you should do, which would help both of us, is hire me as a kind of style consultant.

I'll make my first prediction 2.5 years in advance:

Giroux (NMC), Voracek, Couturier, Konency, Patrick, Aube-Kubel, Rubtsov

Provorov, Ghost, Myers

Trade sanheim instead of losing him.

Saw this on reddit. Seattle's new uniforms.

That coral color on that tasty fart-inducing fish guy there would work with green, although I can't foresee anyone agreeing to the death-fart-death-throes green of that poor fish's head.

just make the color of the death fart cloud green, at the rear end of the red salmon.

Every player is mandated to have a patchy neck beard and wear thick rimmed glasses at all times.

How is it not a valid complaint? When I have to watch people like Zac Rinaldo, Andrew MacDonald, ...etc play in the National Hockey League the talent pool is watered down. That's fact. I would much rather have less teams without slop in their lineup than have more teams.

Of course the game and player development have expanded around the world but adding a new team doesn't do anything extra. Similar to how the Olympics don't make more people watch the NHL.

This makes no sense mathematically. Up till the mid 70s the league was 90 to 99% Canadian (16 teams). Now think it's slightly above 40%. Unless you're claiming Canadians are inherently better players, it's hard to believe that expanding the league talent pool to the US and Europe (a population subset at least 25 times bigger than Canada) with 2 times as many teams would yield a less robust talent pool.

If they take sanhiem that’s going to hurt. I think we are looking at paying up. Might be pretty costly to avoid taking the young good players we have. Or paying them to take JVR.

In two years we're more likely to expose Ghost than Sanheim.
Ghost will be 28 in 2021 and probably headed toward his declining years with a big money extension due in a year.
Sanheim will be 25 and probably at the front end of a long RFA extension.

Anyone who says they wouldn't buy this Seattle Salmon Death Farts sweater is a liar.

the last team to win the cup, with an all canadian roster was the flyers

Jesus christ. The rest of the country's impression of Seattle is pretty hilarious to me.

Seattle Grunge.

 

[deadhead]

Hasn't Grunge been dead for oh, about 2 decades?

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Yeah but its the first thing to come to mind that hasn’t been mentioned. Sasquatch as well. I really am terrible at thinking of names for teams

Grunge - Wikipedia

Barnett, Mitski, Speedy Ortiz, and Big Thief have all made some albums I've really enjoyed that are noticeably influenced by grunge.

Skating Polly is an up and comer. They're the most grunge-y, I'd say.
