Haha, there are a few gems in there that gave me a laugh on this early Tuesday morning.

My two favourites:

CON: Without Weber there won't be anyone left on the Predators roster capable of growing a top notch playoff beard, which seems like a problem until you remember that once he's gone they won't be needing them anymore.

CON: The massive contract could cause bad feelings among Weber's teammates, and that could become a serious issue a few years into the deal when the Predators can once again afford for him to have some.

... and more.

24 chapters of exclusive brand new material, including:

This could be as good as Chuck Norris Facts. Wait, who the hell is repeatedly kicking me in back of the leg???

I agree. Looks to be an instant classic. And I believe a Chuck Norris spin kick was the reason that 'brown went down' in the first place.

Haha, I liked Rinne hoarding moving supplies.

couple gems in there.

[ericdaoust]

I thought there were a couple misses in there too. Maybe I just missed the humour in it all. I didn't think this was one of his best ones. There were some gems in there too, but usually he bats better than .500.

The commenters are pretty funny too. Seems some people take it a bit too seriously.
