Lockout News (The real lockout)

A lockout could make Todd Bertuzzi feel like Bill Murray | ProHockeyTalk - Everyone say it with me: Awwww... Screw you, Todd. You never should have been let back on a hockey rink. Consider yourself lucky that you were dealing with a spineless twit of a commissioner, otherwise you would be serving coffee at Tim Hortons, you worthless pile of pig lard.

Dear NHLPA... don't include King Idiot in your next PSA, OK? Thanks.
