GDT: Pens v Habs | 7PM | Hitchhiker's Guide to Hockey

[Mischa]

In many of the larger bandwagon fandoms of the National Hockey League, the Hitchhiker's Guide has already supplanted the great Encyclopaedia Hocktica as the standard repository of all knowledge and wisdom, for though it has many omissions and contains much that is apocryphal, or at least wildly inaccurate, it scores over the older, more pedestrian work in two important respects.
First, it is slightly cheaper; and secondly it has the words DON'T PANIC inscribed in large friendly letters on its cover.


Excerpts from the Pittsburgh Penguins section:

This fanbase has — or rather had — a problem, which was this: most of the people who belong to it were unhappy for pretty much all of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with posting on an online message board, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the message board that was unhappy.

The best strategy in existence is "Getting to Our Game". The effect of watching this strategy is like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick.

Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the minds of the Medical Staff as a player fell was Oh no, not again. Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the Medical Staff had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the Universe than we do now.

The History of every major Coach tends to pass through three distinct and recognizable phases, those of Survival, Inquiry and Sophistication, otherwise known as the How, Why and Where phases.
For instance, the first phase is characterized by the question How can we win? the second by the question Why are we winning? and the third by the question How can we sign more grinders?

In the beginning of the season Craig Adams was re-signed.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

It is very easy to be blinded to the essential uselessness of [Adams and Glass] by the sense of achievement you get from getting them to work at all.

[Get To Our Game]

The best strategy in existence is "Getting to Our Game". The effect of watching this strategy is like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick.

I can confirm.

 

[ColePens]

I'll be at the game tonight folks. So behave when we roll out awful line after awful line.

 

[LetangInTheSO]

I always love watching the Pens play the Habs, especially in Montreal, but I won't complain!

I readily admit that I'm a sucker for Subban. While I don't think he deserved his Norris, he's a treat to watch the same way Letang can be at times. He moves surprisingly well given his unconventional skating style, he plays with a ton of spunk, he hits, and he can be a beast in the offensive zone with his one-timer. His game has warts, but man is he fun to watch.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Good, looks like Emelin is getting scratched for the Habs tonight. Big hitter for them

 

[KareemTrustfund]

[KareemTrustfund]

MT has taken stupid decisions since being the Habs coach, but this one is by far the stupidest he's made. There is no rational explanation, no one can defend this move, no one.

Scratching both Diaz and Emelin to play Murray and Bouillon makes me mad as ****.

Anyway, good game tonight. Hopefully you guys will win 9-0 and MT will be fired immediately after the game.

I would love that. The presser is going to be a must as well

I don't even think DB knows what the lines are

 

[Sidney BrOSSby*]

Thanks

This isn't the frightening deviantart drawings GDT. That's for another day :P

Part 2?

 

[KareemTrustfund]

Sorry, Kareem. I'll make sure to Include a walrus next time.

Yeah, you really don goofed there. I specifically requested a walrus.

I don't even think DB knows what the lines are

And why should he? They don't play rock paper scissors to see who's on Sid's line until warmups!

 

[DegenX]

Nice GDT, Mischa. ♥ Douglas Adams

Oh don't worry. Our coach is countering playing one of the quickest teams in the NHL by benching one of our fastest guys in Megna with last second dumpster signing Chuck Kobasew.

That'll learn 'em!!!

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

I have to think that Megna is suffering from soreness or a minor setback of some sort. DB isn't THAT obsessed.


Is he?

 

[66-30-33]

Yeah, you really don goofed there. I specifically requested a walrus.



And why should he? They don't play rock paper scissors to see who's on Sid's line until warmups!

No, but he plays that to see if Adams plays.

"Paper, Rock, Scissors"
Dan: *Fist*
"Sorry, it was paper, Adams is scratched.
Dan: I meant scissors, honest mistake.
"Oh ok, you win then i guess"

Happens every game, Dan always wins because of an honest mistake when the real honest mistake is keeping Adams on the ****in lineup! Damn...that mistake!
