A quick note on Trade Deadline Day:

I’m listening to WGR while at work. A caller JUST called up and suggested that Darcy should do something because: “We have a surplus of defencemen…”.

Holy.

Goddamned.

Shit.

It’s as if these goddamned fans don’t remember ANYTHING about the 2006 playoffs. It’s as if they don’t recall suiting up JEFF FUCKING JILLSON in a Game 7. It’s as if they don’t have the image of RORY FITZPATRICK looking around for the loose puck while HorseFace Brindamour tapped home the game winning goal burned into their memories. IT’S AS IF THEY ARE FUCKING IDIOTS.

(I should note that, no, I’m not one of those “Darcy should have added a defenceman at the deadline!” history revisionists. There’s no way you can foresee that many injuries. But holy shit, there are fans that want to actively rid us of talented, playoff-savvy blueliners right now? Good grief!)
