This One's From The [gutter]* Heart

The Detroit media have pulled [grade school]* zany stunts in this rivalry, too. For instance, one of the city's papers ran a picture of bleeding Colorado goalie Patrick Roy under the huge headline, BLOODY GOOD. The same paper printed WANTED posters with Lemieux's face in the middle. That's [just so bush]* league friendly competition. I'm sure a number of Red Wings fans had a great time taping the posters to the walls of their [prison cells]* dens.

All in all, the Colorado- Detroit rivalry is about mutual [loathing]* respect. I can honestly say that if the Red Wings were to play, say, Iraq, I'd be there [holding up a picture of Saddam Hussein]* supporting them. To me, the Red Wings represent everything that is [fully prosecutable]* good in hockey.

In summary, even though it looks like the [puppy kicking, handicap space parking, Michael Bolton listening]* Red Wings will eliminate Colorado, all of us in Denver hope they [grow goiters on every square inch of their faces]* go as far as they can go.

[And take the Lions with them.]*
