The Left Leg Man

There was talk earlier this week after the Pittsburgh game against the Senators. This talk was concerning one of our favorite role-model Russians, Mr. Sergei Gonchar. Apparently, the Pens are considering trading him. Trading him. No, they do not think his game has gone to shit. They believe he is a very important asset to the team. He's just costs too much. Apparently, according to our lovely friends over in Pittsburgh, Gonch is just too damn expensive to keep.


Wake up and smell the fucking reason why Geno is doing so well in this league of alien language. Just stop caring about your goddamn salary cap for one second and look at how much Gonch does for your franchise.

A hockey team is like a human body. You lose one of your very best defensemen, who, by the way, wears an A on his sweater, and you lose a leg. Sure, nowadays, there are special replacement legs, you can always get a prosthetic. It may take you a little while to get used to the difference in your body, and the change might somehow influence some of your other limbs, like the ones that depended on that one leg before, but hey, you'll get over it. Your prosthetic leg will soon fit in just right. It'll be new, it'll be improved, it'll be able to do everything your old leg could do. But there's just one problem.



In the end, you'll never be able to run as fast as you did before.
