The answer to life, the universe and everything is 42.

Incidentally, that is twice the amount of Ville Leino's #.

Just putting it out there...now I'm going to walk away.

Um, that really depends on the accent. Oxford english would make him laughable, while working class British, Scouse (Liverpool area) or Scottish would make him really, really much scarier

I have no discernible beef with the Brits… I just can't imagine Bertuzzi with a British accent. I can't tell if that would make him SCARIER or less scary…

So if we fall and forget to hit the ground we can fly?

As a european I must say I really appreciate the Britishness though

If you asked me Thursday, I would have said with 100% confidence it was MUCH more likely that Ville Leino scores 20 goals than does Bertuzzi.

We are living in that alternate universe right now. Like the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. But less British.

Hahaha. I just read this (wayyy behind on reading everyone's stuff). This is too funny. I love that your mom is in on the ragging.

Also, in case it makes you feel any better, I'm fully prepared to eat my words with a knife and fork if Ville Leino does something amazing. I imagine I'd have to be watching hockey in some sort of parallel/alternate universe for that to happen, but still. It's the thought that counts, right?

Of course. When I start disliking his play again, he's in for it.

Hmm. I'm not really in on that one. Good idea, but I'm not getting tattooed I think. The furthest I'd go is to say I'll re-record the Todd Bertuzzi song if the goes under 20 goals

Word! As long as I have an ally WHEN he starts sucking again.

I need to set up some sort of wager. Like, if he scores 20 goals, I'll tattoo my ass or something. But only if someone agrees to something equally absurd if he scores 19 and under. If you've got any ideas, lemme hear em.

Sorry Michael, but to rephrase Chris Pontius I am fair, Stern, but fair. So if Bertuzzi plays well I'm gonna like him for it. But I promise to be the first, nay, second (after you) to call him out if he starts sucking again

Mom, is that you? HA

I, too, love my mom. She's why I love hockey AND swear like a sailor. We've tossed around the idea of having her write a monthly TPL article or something...
