Wak Wak Wak Wak Wak Wak

Oooh, yer such a gangster!
OK, so Chris Pronger did get the star treatment and was suspended for a whopping ONE GAME for his shot to Dean McAmmond's noggin.
What better way to send a clear and decisive message to the rest of the league than a one game suspension for a repeat offender. *eyeroll*
The Ducks are crying poor. Anyone surprised?
In the 'WTF' files, Eric over at The Fanhouse uncovers the fact that Al-Jazeera, the mouthpiece of terrorism disguised as a legitimate news network, actually applied for NHL press credentials.
ORLY? 0.o
Many US newspapers don't bother sending some schlep to cover the Finals, but Al-Jazeera wants to?
This is most likely the network attempting to gain a 'legitimate' status by covering different events in North America.
Thankfully, the NHL realized it was more trouble than it was worth and said 'NO'
Really, does the NHL really benefit from having 3 Iranian guys and their 21 wives watching Daniel Alfredsson give away the puck for the third time in one game?

Our favourite hockey fan from Alabama shares his thoughts on Game Three:
I'd think Kris Draper has that copyright.
It's funny to see how American fans are reacting to Donald S. Cherry.
Up here? We're so used to his loud suits and personality that it's more shocking when he wears something that doesn't scream "I NEED ATTENTION"
At least Don has some personality. In a sea of boring and generic suits, Don shows that he doesn't give a rat's ass about high fashion.
Well, if the Yanks don't appreciate our game, then it is their own damn fault.
If you guys really want to watch NASCAR, NFL and poker, then knock yourself out.
Well, from my previous trips to the US of A, I can pretty much shrug and say "Isn't it always like that?"
The Rangers could win the Stanley Cup, and the NY Times would have a front page story on what colour Alex Rodriguez is now using for his lipstick.

Did anyone see Don Cherry's wardrobe on Saturday night??? (NBC aired a still picture of it.) I can't any sane man (hetero or gay) would ever be caught wearing that...The ultimate definition of a "wardrobe malfunction"...Worst. Jacket. Ever. Grapes should change his nickname to "Drapes"...

According to an article in the Toronto Star, NBC got a 1.5 in the overnights for Saturday's game 3...But, hey, they're not paying rights fees, are they?
Well, if the Yanks don't appreciate our game, then it is their own damn fault.

Finally, the Ducks just can't get no love...The Quacks make the final, and what is the leading sports story in L.A.? Kobe just can't make up his damn mind where he wants to play next season...
