Oh, Westboro Baptist Church, you’re always out to top your last fit of insanity — and some would argue, inanity — aren’t you?  But why go to such lengths when the world already recognizes your psychopathy and adores you for it (much in the same way it adores a sharp stick in the eye)?  We will concede that Marty Turco’s play sometimes makes small children and certain Texan bloggers cry, but to denounce our favorite sport is an affront to all of its fans, rooting for the wrong team or otherwise.

In the interests of fair journalism, it wouldn’t be right to pass judgment before we hear from WBC on the matter:

God H8s Ur hockey! Valor Pl. & Olive St. WBC will picket your stupid, cold (you will truly pray for these days of being in the cold hockey games when you burn in hell for eternity) violent, time-wasting hockey game – your SPORT. You know there will be only a few more of these entertainment events before God lets Obama simply destroy this nation. God does not have anything good to say about your sport(s).

At this point it seems that no person, profession or faith is safe from the harsh (if uneducated) verbal barbs this organization uses to poison the world.  Luckily for Turco, it seems he was already on WBC’s shitlist.

Fellow hockey fans: is it time we take to the streets and fight back?

What would a great team be without its rivals as a measuring stick of success? Our friend Cole over at the other 6 seconds (warning: it’s a Stars blog) has paid tribute to perhaps the single greatest moment in Ducks franchise history that doesn’t involve any shiny silver trophies — Petr Sykora’s 5OT winner in Dallas during the 2003 playoffs.  Coincidentally, it is Cole’s least favorite Stars-related moment, and he explains why:

To add insult to injury, the most melancholy I’ve ever felt as a Stars fan was during that post-series handshake. It was bad enough being eliminated by a low seeded division rival. It was also the final game that Derian Hatcher ever played in a Stars sweater.

Fittingly, Cole had listed the same moments when I asked him this summer to name his least favorite Ducks-Stars memory.  Unfortunately for the Ducks, Dallas got a measure of revenge in the 2008 playoffs by eliminating (and thus dethroning) them swiftly in the opening round.

Hit the break to see clips of Sykora’s monumental goal and the final few minutes of the series.  The videos are clad appropriately in eggplant and jade to celebrate the occasion.  When you’re done, I suggest taking a peek at Cole’s blog to find the answers to life’s great questions (seriously, he has a page for that).  While you’re there, don’t miss his insightful look at The 5 Biggest Myths in Hockey.  Damn, he has one hell of a blog.

Now it’s time for some Disney Ducks delight.  Enjoy!
