You love the lockout? I see you have become insane.

If you're watching a blowout, you can pass the time by counting the double teapots.

Wow, are people talking about tuning into hockey this season? My God, have we grown that desperate? (A tear trickles down the face of a proud, feathered warrior as he surveys the ruined land. Or, perhaps, a despairing Charlton Heston slams his angry fist into the wet sand. “You finally, really did it… You maniacs! You blew it up! God damn you… God damn you all to hell!”)

All these GIFs are breaking my browser.

Ok, so I’m pretty much sure that these two weeks are not the only two weeks of the season that are going to be cancelled. I need someone to shed some light on the Euro ball stuff for me. Pardon my missing the boat here, but I hardly follow it, I do not know how their league system is set up. And, even more importantly (to me, atleast), are the games going to even be televised? Who is good to pull for, and why? Will PTR have threads? Will we have a PTR this season? Sorry. I am a tad peeved. This is horse poop. Whichever side is not budging can go jump in the lake.

I’ll try to keep Euro b-ball updates going. Euroleague starts on the 17th, and you can usually watch the games here. If I had to pick a game to watch for the first week, Ljubljana vs. Barcelona on the 20th should be interesting(Lorbek vs. Bertans and Danny Green).

as a guest on PtR, I’ll refrain from my opinions on the subject…in order to save all you fine people from the avalanche of profanity erupting in my mind.
