Great.  More shit to hear about from the Pittsburghtard in my office.

Look on the brightside, the Pirates aren't winning anything in the next century or so!

I couldn't find a proper captioning site, because I'm lazy, but I found something for Marian Hossa's T-shirt:

Well, no matter what happens to the Coyotes, at least Bettman will be happy for a while because the Penguins won.  Maybe that'll be enough to save his job.

Ain't gonna work. I see his Pirates, he raises me the Orioles.  Push.

Okay, I'm not Canadian, but I honestly don't see the point with Hossa. He played 14 regular games with the Pens last year, and the playoffs. Then he switched to Detroit instead and is Judas. Is he really that special?

[Grey Fox]

It's because he openly said it was because he believed more in the chances of the Redwings then those of the Pens.

Yeah, I don't see it either.  He was a merc with the Pens, he was a merc with the Red Wings.  I wish only confusion and failure to him, but visceral hatred?  I don't even hate Media Whore Crosby.

[Delirium]

Yep, weird.

I just enjoy hating. Plus, his facial expression after the game was priceless.

Judge rejects sale of Coyotes, move to Canada

By BOB BAUM, AP Sports Writer 46 minutes ago


PHOENIX (AP)—The Coyotes are staying in Phoenix.

A bankruptcy judge has rejected the proposed sale of the team to Canadian billionaire Jim Balsillie, who would have moved the team to Hamilton, Ontario.

Judge Redfield T. Baum issued a 21-page ruling late Monday afternoon, concluding that the June 29 deadline imposed by Balsillie did not allow enough time to resolve the complex case.

"Simply put, the court does not think there is sufficient time (14 days) for all of these issues to be fairly presented to the court given that deadline," the judge wrote.

[Grey Fox]

Can't he just de-deadline his offer?

[Neil]

Can't he just de-deadline his offer?

I dunno.  On the one hand, this is good news becaue it fucks over Ontario.  On the other hand, it saves the Leafs and Gary Bettman from being fucked over.  My hatred has me trapped, unable to decide.
