The chance of a lifetime

Hi, my name is Billy and I am nine years old. I love hockey and my favorite team is the Colorado Avalanche. I have been a fan of the Colorado Avalanche for as long as I remember and really miss the glory days of guys like Andrew Brunette and Ian Laperriere. Oh, and that mean looking coach with the furry mustache.
I also like Wojtek Wolski and I was really sad when he got traded. I was so mad I ripped up like 12 of my pokemon cards, but then my mom said she wouldn't buy me any more of them if I didn't stop and I'm really hoping to get a Lugia EX someday, because that thing has like a HUNDRED hit points. My stepdad Gary says that Wojtek Wolski is a floater and he used to yell really bad things at the TV when he got mad at Wojtek Wolski, but I think he just needs to be a little nicer. I'm sure I would duck and scream and throw the puck away if some big man was going to run into me, so I don't think it's fair to judge Wojtek Wolski if he does that too. Anyway, Gary might be a jerk sometimes, but my mom really likes him so I guess he can't be all bad.
Besides, I'm totally going to win this cool contest where I can train with Wojtek Wolski and where I can become bigger and stronger and learn how to hold gigantic dumbbells like that short guy in the picture! All I have to do is write 350 words about why I should get to train with BioSteel (whatever that is) and then I TOTALLY win and get to hang out with REAL NHL players (plus Andrew Cogliano). Oh, and not only will Wojtek Wolski be there, but also Daniel Winnick. I don't know anything about him, but my friend Bob said he must be totally better than Ilya Kovalchuk, because the Colorado Avalanche could have signed ANYONE this summer and that's who they picked. I'm really sad to see Wojtek Wolski play on another team next year, even if it means I don't have to hear "shoot the goddamn puck" all the time from Gary, but now that we have Daniel Winnick, we're going to be awesome. I bet the Avalanche could even beat the Luigia EX!

WTF is with all these posts about Wolski? He isn’t on the Avs any more so why so many posts about him in the last few days? He plays for the Coyotes so everybody will have forgotton about in a year or two. Maybe he will be an early addition to the endless list of players that have gone to Pheonix and were never seen again.
My goodness….I don’t know where to begin, Billy…I just don’t……have…………..any words…
"Okay, here's the deal, there's a difference between 'confident' and 'cocky'. For example, I'm confident enough to tell a girl that I'm the only guy she'll ever need, but I'm nowhere near cocky enough to quote myself." - Me
Anything worth doing,
is worth beating mercilessly into a pulp until it retains no single element of its former self.
Good on ya Billy!

In my defense I spent 2 hours in the doctors office with my son for a pre-hospital check. So I wasn’t home when the topic was posted/started….
What’s the excuse for the rest of yous? Is everyone to busy Wolskiing around?

Hope everything’s OK with the Little Canary!

Everything is OK….he just had his “little boy surgery”.
OK, it was a little more than that, but nothing to problematic. He’s was very fussy last night (expected).
The thing that pissed me off is that they moved his surgery up an hour (from 3:00 to 2:15), and we sat in the hospital for three hours before they actually took him into surgery. He had to go almost 6 hours without eating…luckily he was very good about it. Needless to say we didn’t leave the hospital until 8:00 and then had a 90 minute drive home.

I like the part
where it mentions Wolski.

I wonder what Wolski must think if he ever ends up visiting MHH this week.
Guess it can’t be as bad as what Arnason visits MHH, uh, ever, I suppose. That is assuming he “feels” anything.
Brannigan's Law is like Brannigan's love, hard and fast.
Here I am.....

That was pretty awesome.

Yeah, but you hit the bullseye with every shot.
MHH- A drinking site with a hockey problem
Hockeytown was a marketing invention to draw fans to a team that had less gate than the atlanta thrashers. Really Detroit, the only thing I'm jealous about is your marketing dept. When do they go UFA?
Or maybe I should say, If it’s a Wolski gun it can’t run out of bullets, because it never shoots…

OR maybe it’s already out of bullets and therefore has nothing to shoot?

Be careful, that might end up as the new logo by the end of the day…
