    Always a good read. My fave:

    "Good sign: Experts agree that the actual gap between players and owners has become so small that the league would have to be run by complete idiots to cancel the season now.
    Bad sign: Everyone who says that immediately trails off, looks around awkwardly, and then mutters 'So… see you next year.'"

    The Booth one is funny too.

    What is the background behind the Booth one? I have seen it referenced a few times but am apparently not up to date on Booth's TMZ

    " You said you don't give a f*ck about hockey. I've never heard anyone say that before."

    I read up on it, and apparently he is involved in bear baiting (and killing).

    (Insert Canucks, Bruins, Booth, bear hunting joke here.)


    The lockout has cost me whatever tiny bit of wittiness that I use to possess.

    The most important part is that once we know the Booth story, DGB's joke becomes hilarious.

    Good sign: There appeared to be some frustration with the lockout among the NHLPA, as one player was spotted sobbing inconsolably on the floor.
    Bad sign: It turned out to just be Robert Luongo after reading reports about this rumored trade to the Maple Leafs.

    He did bait a bear last year -- took all kinds of pics next to it (it's legal in the province he did it, but not legal in lots of places). He got killed for it by PETA folks.

    Then, this year, he bagged a wapiti or in Montana. Again, he got killed for it.
