Dee Lux DX7's World of Hockey

Toronto fans....you've slit your own throat and don't even know it, Once again your self-destructive DNA, and the Ghost of Harold Ballard have conspired to make certain the Stanley Cup NEVER returns to Toronto....don't agree? I think you will after reading this... Remember my words now... Remember them in years and decades to come, THERE WILL BE NO CUP FOR YOU, don't take my word for it, wait, watch and discover for yourself the horror of your fate. Because the fact is: No team that operates with the inherited culture, karma, Fan attitudes or organizational DNA of the Toronto Maple Leafs will EVER win the Stanley Cup. I know you are blind to this but to the rest of the world its OBVIOUS, You are the engineers of your own destruction.  Case in point, you hire one of the league's legendary GM's in three years he brings you back to relevancy then in a move so prodigiously stupid it boggles the mind, you get rid of him (And insult him with the offer to be a ...

Tanking doesn't work, Tanking makes my bum hurt blah blah..... On and on and on...............STOP!!!! Ever since Brian Burke issued his tongue in cheek "Nobody in the NHL would EVER DREAM of tanking" speech (Probably just to crack up his friends he knew were watching) several years back, the Automatron T.V, iPhone "Excuse me while I download my opinion" crew having been weeping wailing and bemoaning the blight on the NHL known as "THE TANK JOB" It's an excellent societal biopsy on how the human psyche has been "Hacked" by media in 2018 because apparently, these people can look at facts in black and white in front of them, then listen to some talking head tell them white is back and go on a "Face-inta-twit" rant on how the city needs to turn the street lamps on at noon because it's too dark for them to see. To that group, I now speak: Tanking doesn't work huh? What in the blue hell are you talking about?!!! ...

Milan Lucic ended Mike Komisarek's career.....PLEASE, STOP WITH THE B.S! It wasn't Lucic......people HAVE to stop perpetuating this myth. Have you ever dislocated your shoulders? I have, both It's a chronic injury that NEVER fully goes away Your shoulders are always at risk of falling out of the sockets, I've had them fall out in my sleep as I changed positions before, it sucks......anyway.. I can see it clear as the screen in front of me, Komaserik and Lucic are fighting, and Komaserik who had the same chronic shoulder problems I do threw a punch and his arm came right out of the socket I can see the pain on his face Lucic ISN'T CONNECTING at that moment, It was the SHOULDER dislocated from the force of Komaserik throwing a punch. When it happens, you are screwed for a while, sometimes it snaps back in on its own but other times it doesn't and if it doesn't your arm is USELESS, and every time it happens, it's more likely to happ...

God, I am sick of people whining about the draft lottery and tanking. No system is perfect, nothing in the world is...sorry to break that news to you so late in life but this is THE BEST WAY TO ENSURE A CYCLING OF THE TOP TEAMS,  that is to say, that a team that sucked last season will be on the road to improving next season, What's your alternative? The worst teams have no realistic way of improving? Can you not see the inevitable outcome of that? Franchise retraction, closing of businesses, loss of jobs, shrinking of the hockey market Now guess what? Fewer of those kids you were so concerned about will ever be employed in professional hockey, there is no way a franchise who is stuck at the bottom with no viable means of improving attracts the entertainment dollar of the market in which it is located.....teams FOLD You see, this is not Charlie and the Chocolate factory, a mystical playground for hockey kids to float from cloud to cloud singi...

Welcome readers! Nice to have you along as I make my first foray into the "True Crime" genre of writing. But I will not be writing about an unsolved murder, rape, kidnapping or any of the like, I will, however, tell you the sad tale of a robbery, a theft that took place in plain view of the authorities, Authorities who didn't know enough about what they were in charge of (or didn't care) to take action against it and right a wrong that would ultimately cost the NHL it's brand new, blue-puck-glowing TV deal with FOX, stunt the growth of the game and nearly turn hard-core fans away in disgust. I write to you of the "Dead-puck" era, and the man single-handedly responsible for it, a man who STOLE the Stanley cup in 1995, by exploiting a flaw in the game. Hockey has always been known as fast, violent and exciting, and for most of its history, it has been, but during the 1960's came a revelation that would forever change the game. ...

It was only a  matter of time, From the moment I became aware of advanced hockey statistics I was sure the day would come when NHL fans all over North America woke up slapped their foreheads and exclaimed: "WHAT THE F%$CK WERE WE THINKING !" Why so sure you ask? Well, there were a few dead giveaways that to my eyes and those of other discerning hockey fiends, marked the latest and most annoying fan trend to enter the NHL since those "Breath Right" nose strips in the 90's, with a due date. And I believe any day now fans will collectively be running from fridge to sink trying to hold a full carton of Corsi as far from their noses as possible. The NHL is in the entertainment business. I don't know about you but any form of entertainment that demands one rummage in the attic for their university mathematics textbooks does not make for a fun night. As much as people like to act as if the NHL were an essential service, like police or firefighters, it is no...
