Yeeaaaaah…

If Facebook has taught me one thing, it’s that opinions are like assholes: everyone has one, they stink and you really need to keep them to yourselves. 

Maple Leafs Win Draft Lottery

Leave a reply

LeafsNation called ‘foul’ last year after my beloved Oilers won the draft lottery (again) but, this year, they would not be disappointed. And Leafs fans get to enjoy a little schadenfreude as the Oilers drop out of the top 3 into 4th place. We got McJesus last year so whatever. 

Basically, Auston Matthews is the top prospect for the upcoming draft and the Leafs now have the first right of refusal for drafting him. The only way Brenden Shanahan isn’t going to draft him is if Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff kidnaps Shanny’s family and holds them at gunpoint during the draft. Even then, Shanahan might decide its “family expendable.”

Calgary Flames General Manager Brian Burke had the quote of the day though:


‘If the Oilers win the draft lottery, I’ll beat the snot out of someone.’ LOL 

What in the hell was I thinking?

I am a 40 year old man. I went and signed up to play soccer for a coed recreational league because, well, I want to play instead of just coaching. To be clear, I haven’t played on a team before… I’ve scrimmaged with the kids that I’ve coached but I haven’t been on a team as a player. I know the rules, I understand the game fairly well… I just have no skill and a general lack of fitness.

I got the list of my teammates by email today… I decided to check out who’s who by searching (read: creeping) them on Facebook. What is now freaking me out: I’ll be lucky if even one of them is over the age of 25. So from now until my first game on Monday night:
