He told the press that the players “went ballistic to the point where they started threatening, denigrating my staff, saying ‘We're the Edmonton Oilers – we expect a 50 per cent discount.' ”
Cut them a break, it's been years since they've popped champagne.
This was inspired from reading about Griffey here. It was a post about Griffey not getting his due respect, which is very true.
Anyway, the post also referenced Jesus Shuttlesworth jumper. So, my question to you my good readers is this. Which is better, Junior's swing or Allen's jumper? Who's the better hitter, Junior or Pujols (we are talking holistically here)
Better dunker, Nique or Vince? Reignman or Stoudemire? Kemp and Amar'e are essentially the same player. Highlight reel dunker, no real jumper to speak, catch most lobs thrown in the vicnity of the basket.
Better QB, Montana or Young? Montana or Manning? Young or Brady?
Sid the Kid or Ovechkin?

After a little push-and-shove, Sidney Crosby was still running his mouth, even as his helmet came off and a linesman tried to push him back toward the bench.Alex Ovechkin responded with a dismissive, "bye-bye" wave of the left hand, practically taunting the Pittsburgh Penguins star.
This is gonna be great. There is no way that some talkin and fisticuffs do NOT pop off. They clearly DISLIKE/HATE each other, and its filtered down to their respective teams.
There isn't a better series jumpin off in playoff sports right now, including the Bulls-Celtics, multi-overtime games. That is a great series but there's no bad blood between these teams, Rando's head swipe notwithstanding.
This series is goin to at least 6 games. Stank-0 picks the Capitals to advance. AO for MVP! Son has been scoring like a HS QB on prom night. That would be back to back!

The Washington Capitals were DOA after goin down 3-1, or so we thought. This isn't anything new because they were in this exact same position last year.
Maybe they like adversity, but Werds thought AO was planning his vacation because the Rangers were gonna send him home.
If only I could be in the Verizon Center for Game 7. You know it will be loud and red in there.
Anyone know when that game is coming on? I'm watchin that one.
