The man in black fled across Middle Tennessee, and Pierre followed.
It's almost hockey time! and that means it's time to put your :10bux: on the line and make some terrible bets!

For example, I was a little cocky when it came to the playoffs, so I'm stuck with this beauty of a subbantar, and wrote a 5 paragraph essay and a shakespearean sonnet on how much better the habs were than the bruins. You can read it here!.

I'll think up some more good ones, but for now I'll start by saying

:toxx: If the Boston Bruins are not the top of the east at Christmas break time, I'll buy a forums upgrade up to 10 bux for an elected representative of the top team. :toxx:


Throw your toxxes on the pile!

If the Ottawa Hockey Senators make the playoffs (they will not), I will write a letter to Chris Neil thanking him for his great play and leadership this season, with all of the praise and compliments a seven year old with a pencil crayon and a questionable academic future can bring to bear.

Yeah, I certainly wouldn't mind waiting another season if it meant going to a free Flyers game. Particularly since Philly is a long drive from here in the mountains of New England, I'd need to plan quite a bit in advance.

Thanks FAS for being reasonable! The :homebrew: wouldn't kick in until near the end of the season or maybe not even before the Flyers are out of the playoffs in 2014-2015. Plus, I'll hopefully be engaged and getting married next year and organizing a game will be the last thing on my mind.

How about trying to break in to the opposing team's locker room during intermission to start a fight?

Uh, no reason for me to ask this specific question, of course.

Edit: For my :toxx:, let's keep it simple - 'Nucks make the playoffs or I get an AV from a fan of the team that wins the West and keep it until training camp starts. Unless it's Anaheim, because I'm not getting a FCP AV again. In that case I'll get a Ducks pennant or shirt and hang it up in my house.

For years and years, me getting a cherry slush drink at the Joe Louis Arena has directly led to a Red Wings goal. The lucky goal slush has worked for over 20 years, and has better fancystats than any non-All Star Red Wing. The lucky goal slush has worked every time, at every game I'm at the Joe.

I'll be at just about every Red Wings home game this season, and will get a white Red Wings jersey of whichever Wing has the highest number of slush goals at the end of the season.

Gustav Nyquist's GWG was the slush goal from last night's home opener, he is currently in the lead.
