Around SBN: Fedor vs Rogers Results and Live Coverage

I ran into a clown at SBUX this morning

Star-divide

So I'm at Starbucks this morning and I run into a guy in a Whiny Diver sweater. (I'd upload a pic, but SBN doesn't allow it.)

 

Wanna-be Whiny Diver is behind me in line -- prime Whiny Diver attack position -- so I turned around and said, "Look, you're not wearing a visor so I know you're not going to jump me. But don't even think about sucker punching me in the 'nads, OK?"

He got mad and said something to the effect that I just wished my team was as good as the Pens. I laughed and reminded him that the Pens are not currently a playoff team, and that the Caps are one of the best teams in the league. I was tempted to suggest that he go wash his mullet-in-the-making, but he put his iPod buds in and tried to ignore me.

When you wear a powder-blue Whiny Diver jersey with a “Winter Classic” patch and an emergent mullet, you’re asking for it.

i despise that jersey.

I despise the player. He is dishonorable and he disgraces and fails to respect the game, his opponents and the officials.

I maintain if the Pens wore powder blue all the time, I’d hate them significantly less than the Flyers.

That baby blue jersey was best 3rd jersey on some web site…WTF.

Have you seen the others?

Personally, I like the baby blue. Traditionalist, I guess. Also, cause fuck the steelers.

You may recall that after signing with the Caps this summer but before reporting to training camp in September, BMo took a trip to the Canadian wilderness for charity. 
 


Despite the "mosquitos as big as seagulls", the participants all survived and emerged from the woods to a tasty homestyle Hornpayne feast.

There's a lot more Brad May and Kris King than #9 in this clip, but we get a little flavor of how the Caps' second line center spent his summer vacation.
