14. Atlanta. Despite all the bluster about Ilya Kovalchuk signing a contract extension with Atlanta, it hasn’t happened yet. And that’s because the Russian superstar has seen this organization stink for too long to take management at its word that things will be different this year. This situation has Jay-Bouwmeester-playing-out-the-string-in-Florida written all over it. Enjoy Kovy while you can, Thrasher fans.
Nothing new or interesting, especially coming from the Hockey News. I think they really have it out for the Thrashers. My favorite part is the "Enjoy Kovy while you can, Thrasher fans." I found this prediction funny, honestly, because it has so little merit: he, like most hockey writers, doesn't read Kovy's comments or DW's. Whatever. But that last statement just makes him come off as a big prick nonetheless.
Also: I found it funny that he said Washington plays in the weakest division despite him putting three SE Division teams in the playoffs. Hmm....
Oh well, this guy probably calls European players "enigmatic" when trying to describe them.
MORTIMER PEACOCK ADDS: I'm sorry, I can't help myself. This guy is pretty feeble even by the standards of the Hockey News. You have to love how he simply translates everything into terms he already understands. A Canuckle-dragging space-filler at THN can't wrap his snowbilly head around the idea of Kovalchuk re-signing, so he just types "UHHHH BOUWMEESTER."

The link is horribly broken.
Fixed.
Huzzah!
What a cock.
Yeh I just thought it was funny. There's all this bluster that this guy is writer, but it hasn't happened yet.
WAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Also the word "yet" that he uses means that something will happen, but he is acting like it won't. It's like that scene in High Fidelity, "I haven't slept with him yet." Does that mean she is going to sleep with him? Yes it does, and Laura does sleep with Tim Robbins. John Cusak films have an answer to many things.
I just wrote a comment that went "Despite all the bluster about Adam Proteau writing passable hockey articles with the Hockey News, it hasn't happened yet."
The moderators haven't put it up yet HA HA WHAT IS WRONG
It's just "Gay Fish" shit

Your comment is up. Get ready for a shit storm, hopefully. I hope he'll stop by here. Ooo! I love gatherings!
If I ever converse with dude I'll propose a bet: I will bet GOOD money that the Thrashers won't finish 14th. Really.
And to think, I had nothing to do with this one. Leave my good friend Rory out of this. He my buddy. Hey buddy.
Hey Buddy
I bet that asshole couldn't find Atlanta on map...The only think he knows about Atlanta Hockey is Kovalchuk...what a dbag. I already dropped one bullshit flag on him...I guess it's time for another.
It's obvious he doesn't read any hockey media south of Windsor. Is it worth ripping him a new one???...why bother...this is an idiot who predicted Tampa Bay in the playoffs last year when we all knew they were going to blow chunks. He'll be able to eat his own words soon...
( | ) <--- Mooning Adam Proteau.
I just can't decide which is more powerful:
- The squirrel in the blingee (subtle political commentary? squirrel -> ACORN -> quasi-government-funded group now floundering for relevance? or have I gone too far?)
- The Jonas appearance on the blingee (I'm not the only one that sees that, right? RIGHT?!?!?)
- Rawhide's virtual mooning of Adam Proteau
Adam from THN is a real 8===D
BELLEND!!!
"Enjoy Kovy while you can."
Once the deal gets done, I'll be enjoying him for even longer, and I'll be extending a massive middle finger to ignorant and biased hockey fans and media everywhere.
Aaron-
The squirrel symbolizes...well, I'll leave that to everyone's imaginations.
You're exactly right about that young man in the Blingee though. It is, indeed, a Jonas.
Maxim Afinogenov has been given a tryout by the Thrashers! YES! This guy has talent, and could blossom playing with Kovy, Kozlov, and Antropov. I LOVE this low risk, high reward move. When did Waddell get so smart? Oh, yeah, when Dudley came on board.
You guys might be taking Proteau's articles just a little too seriously. It's kind of weird that you're calling him names. Maybe even a bit pathetic that you care about his predictions that much? I don't know, just putting that out there...
Hey guys, if anyone really wants to get into a nice little back and forth with adam proteau, just email the hockey news and they'll forward it along. He bites easy and gets nasty in his email replies. We had a nice argument about him thinking LaFleur is above the law because of his hockey accomplishments. Adam is the worse writer I have ever read, however I do think a lot of what he says is just to push peoples buttons and get a rise from bloggers, which is ultimately great for THN.
The issue, "Joe," isn't Adam Proteau alone. We just think bores and cliche-mongers should be exposed and chortled at.
Basically, in the end, as Method Man says, " I don't give a cotton pickin' fuck about it." I just like to cause trouble. I just wanted to bring another THN writer to debate us. I like a good debate. I'm sure Adam is ace, but I just wanted piss some people off as well. If entertainment is pathetic then yes, I am pathetic. Oh and Joe what's wrong with some name calling? It's in good fun buddy. It's a hockey blog! I've got to worry about my GA power bill more than the 14th placed Thrashers by a soothsaying sports writer.
