The Darkest Day in MHH History
There came a day, unlike any other day when all the collective awesome of the MHH community could not turn back the tide of despair caused by the most unthinkable of all thoughts: The Well-thought-of Colorado Avalanche traded the Much Beloved Baron of Von Wolski. (Whew. I barely got that out without shedding an unmanly tear...) Now, many of you have no doubt just recently completed the state mandated grief counseling required to deal with that tragically historic Wednesday of Wolski, but we still need to deal with as a community. So I thought I'd let some of the newer members help us ALL heal a little today. And I thought the best way to do that would be to recap some of horrific things that happened on that day.
- Joe logged on but everybody was so grief stricken and shocked by the trade they failed to make a Top 19 joke at his expense.
- In solidarity for his WW brethren, DDC dropped the C and was just David Driscoll (DD) for a 3-day mourning period.
- Nobody noticed that Bob and Dan were sitting in a corner sobbing on each others' shoulders.
- Beachie began walking from California to Denver. Kinda like Caine in Kung Fu.
- UZ wept silently at his computer for a minute and then deleted his Baron newsletter. Instead, he decided to form a David Jones Fan Club in a thinly veiled attempt to deflect his shame at having backed a traded player through thick and thin.
- gl avfan went missing for three months.
- avschifan changed his login to chiavsfan.
- Jibbles correctly replied to all comments. Hopfenkopf did not reply at all.
- hockeymom and sandiegee refused to talk about sex for 86 minutes as a tribute to The Baron's new number in Phoenix.
- Canary didn't post a single Arnason pic for, like, three days! He did however stare at this photo for hours.
- SeeSixWhores only felt like looking at two whores all day.
- Mike began punching JR roast beef sandwiches.
What other tales of woe do you need to get off of your chest regarding that bleakest of days? For it truly was

I still recall…I was about to open my account here, but then this happened…It changed my life. I had to postpone everything, and only recently was I able to look past this team’s sudden imperfection that is the fact that the Baron is no longer here but slowly dying in Phoenix (like everyone else in Arizona), to join ya’ll on here.

I am confused
We traded Keith Jones? What did versus give us in return?
Jimmy Howard invented the Stanley Cup.
Jones went to Philly for Shjon Podein (craziest person to ever wear the burgundy and blue).
ESPN picked up Jones on waivers from the Flyers and then traded him to Comcast in exchange for the rights to the Outdoor Life Network (OLN) name and logo. It was becoming a threat to their gun-totin’, pole waving demographic. Comcast was requred to change the name to something really stupid, and then alienate all DirecTV viewers who wanted to watch hockey.
It’s all in the archives here at MHH.

"I cannot really hear what Jeremy says because I've got my two Stanley Cup rings plugging my ear."-Patrick Roy
OT question. As a baby name possibility, how screwed do you think a kid who had the name Shjon would be? It’s one of many we’re tossing around.
Honestly...
My little brother has one of those “Odd” names. I love his name, I wish mine was like that, but as a kid he hated it. Nobody could pronounce or spell it correctly. Now that he’s an adult he likes it, and he is used to people miss-pronouncing it and goes by a short form of his name to those who still can’t wrap their heads around it. (It’s a French name- some people have issues with those).
I’ve always been jealous of his “odd” name. I’ve only ever met one other person with his name and they were from overseas.

Not really a proper comparison, but I named my dog a “unique” name and after 8 years of mispronunciations and no one being able to spell it correctly, I wish like hell I hadn’t done it. I can’t imagine what it would be like to be her if she were a kid having to deal with it too. I used to think I might do that with a child. I’m glad I had a “test run” with the dog because I won’t do it again. But this is just from the “parent” perspective – and a totally selfish one at that. Who knows…if she could tell me, maybe the dog would love it.
(In case anyone wants to know, her name is Latis (la-teece) – who is a Celtic Goddess of lakes and ale…the dog’s a Lab and I like beer. lol)

That’s a cool name! Mike and I both have weird spelled names (Michel and Jessie), so we’ve dealt with it some, but Shjon just seems like another level of that, ya know?
Jessie isn’t weird (my wife spells her name that way). Her problem is that everyone assumes that it is short for Jessica.

My advice on names
1. For boys, no sissy names, and no names that sound like their member (Peter, Dick, etc). It just saves you calls from the principal because you son is beating kids up for bullying him.
2. No really long names, because they have to put their full name on every stinking lousy worksheet they do in school. Keep it short. None of this Marcellina-Angelica crap.
It has become sort of in vogue for parents to give their kids unusual names with unusual spellings, so much so that we used the common spelling for our son, and most people misspell it with the uncommon version – go figure!

What about OZO?
How can you have a Great Eight without the original Great Eight? You know, the all-time goal and points leader among defencemen in Colorado Avalanche history? The guy we traded a young Owen Nolan for? The guy who led defencemen in scoring during our first cup, and came in 2nd for the Norris Trophy? The guy who was traded to the Carolina Hurricanes for Nolan Pratt and draft picks that became Vaclav Nedorost, Jared Aulin, and Agris Saviels?

Like I said in the other thread...

This article is complete and total BS
The absolute darkest hour in avalanche history was was when Peter Worrell was betrayed by the Colorado Avalanche. After overhearing that the avalanche were looking to trade for his friend Andreas Lilja but the asking price was too high. Peter told then gm pierre lacroix that he had an idea. Pierre was to go out and a case of good champagne and leave it in Andreas’ car to impress him. Pierre did do that but went out and bought a case of Totts. Peter, after telling Andreas about what a cool team the avs were, was aghast. Andreas was going to be coming home soon and there was all of this cheap champagne around, what was he to do? He took one for the team and what the the avalanche do for him? I think we all know the rest of this story.

Remember, too, that you have His Awesome Awesomeness to thank for Matt Duchene. In a startling display of omniscience, remember that he scored just enough shootout goals that year to give the Avs the third pick in the next year’s draft, thus ensuring that there would be no flirtations with temptations such as Tavares or Hedman by the clearly less competent than Him scouting staff.
Maybe the draft and the imminent Coming of Duchene had nothing to do with the majesty that is WW showing his might, you say? Think back. Did he show any such skills during the games that might have gained the team enough points that they would have a lower draft rank? I think not. Did he ever show such prowess on the shootout ever again? No. His job there was done.
I say: Praise Him.
