Week 10 – It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year….

….because it’s the time we get our favorite Christmas Gift: The WJC!

Whoooops, wrong WJC. I guess they’re not really big “Christmas” fans.

The 2017 World Junior Hockey Championship (100% kosher) kicks off on Boxing Day in Montreal and Toronto. Here’s the Pre-Competition.

Hopefully it’s not a repeat performance.

In case you missed it…

Guess who wants a new stick for Christmas?

Apparently Luongo wants a trade out of Florida, but…..his contract sucks!

THE WEEK IN BULLETS

• Big week is Cordy’s 39
• He goes 3-0 along with Derko, GoJo, &….. wait for it….. REN & STIMPY
• Derko jumps up 2 spots to 4th
• GoJo jumps up one spot to 7th
• Stifler picked up Arvidsson NASH and dropped Soderberg COL
• Pick up for this week? R&S 1-3; Stif 4&5; Orv 6….and it’s a “1” so R&S get the week 10 pick-up.
• Short week with no games Sat & Sunday

PLAYER OF THE WEEK

So…… the Liberals”Joint” Task Force announced their recommendations for the legalization of marijuana …… and we thought Loui wanted to play in Vancouver because of the Sedins…

Not the first time an athlete chose a town for its drug culture…

Back in the day Hedberg choose Winnipeg for their vibrant cocaine laced sports drinks.

and while he loves to smoke crack and drink vodka, this week’s POTW, GoJo’s 2015 1st rounder Artemi Panarin, evidently chose Chi-town for it’s underground SKA scene.

SHRAPNEL

Twitter has now taken the place of parents yelling inside the rink. Witness Erik Gudbranson’s father tweeting on his son’s play in the ‘Nucks v. ‘Canes game Tuesday night.

Early, he was pissed…

Then, he was looking for positives….

Good thing Wayne didn’t see this one.

You can just hear somebody yelling, “Murrrrr…zynnnnn”

Separated at Birth…Jordie Benn & Yukon Cornelius

Did you notice? Yukon C is packin’ heat. Original Christmas Cartoon Badass.

If you want some laughs, CraveTV premieres season 2 of Letterkenny this week. It’s about hicks, skids, hockey players and Christians.

Some classic lines from season 1:

“Oh I’m stomping the brakes; put that idea right through the f’n windshield.”

“There’s nothin’ better than a fart. Except kids falling off bikes, fuck, I could watch kids fall off bikes all day.”

“You’re made of spare parts aren’t you, bud?”

And the hockey chirps by Riley & Jonesy are perfect. Definitely NSFW.

Wonder what they’d yell at Tryamkin after his twerkin’

“Dude… what the…?”

Seahawks wear “Action Green.”

EZ said it best, “So this is where the Canucks ‘Green Men’ ended up.”

The Seahawks executed the most perfect fake punt in recent history until their punter remembered he was a white guy from Regina.

“Wow! So much room! I’m going all the way….whoopps… what the… *conk*

IN MEMORY

Alan Thicke passed away this week. I have to admit that when I heard his name in the past I would think of cheezy ’80s sit-coms, but now (and forevermore) I will remember him as a guy who died the way any Canadian kid would want to go… with his skates on.
