I know goalies are more flexible than the rest of us (steel I-beams set in concrete are more flexible than me) but Dan Ellis is just amazing. Look at how he bends himself around to place his foot in his mouth here!
@33dellis "If you lost 18% of your income would you be happy? I can honestly say that I am more stressed about money now then when I was in college. I can't explain it and I never thought it would be the case but it is true. $ in no way makes u more happy or makes life much easier. If you don't make a lot of money I don't expect u to understand in the same way I could never understand what it is like to risk my life Daily as a fire fighter or police officer...especially not a soldier. There r pros and cons to every profession. U r kidding yourself.. If u think money makes things any easier."
When people started calling Ellis on this brain-fart rant on Twitter, he took a page out of the South Park parody of Michael Jackson to reply:
@33dellis "RT @ArsonistSavior:u get PAID to PLAY HOCKEY.. suck it up. feel free to go work construction if the "pressure" gets too rough...ignorant!"
For those not used to reading Twitter, that is a comment from a follower which Ellis "retweeted" and the "ignorant!" on the end was Ellis' reply.
Now there is a trending theme of #danellisproblems on Twitter with people all over the hockey world making fun of Ellis' "let them eat cake" comments. Surprisingly, the backlash seems to be worse than Kovy explaining that he turned down 102 million dollars because he has to worry about his kids.
Dan Ellis is generally a good guy. He has tried to blow this off as a joke, even pointing out that earlier in the day he said he wanted to "stir the pot" a little. But those comments sound like frustration, not amusement.

In the immortal words of Geoff Pederson....oooopseeee!!
He almond.
Glad we signed Mason and not this cheese dick sandwich.
Have you not noticed that he says things to intentionally piss people off and when they take him too seriously he blocks them on the twitter? You know, basically the same thing I do everyday. After being friends with me for all these years I didn't think you would fall for that! Much less post about it on the Chronicle!!!
Don't you have some deep sea or deep crevice exploration to do or something?
Leave me alone...I'm sensitive you big meanie.
I was speaking to Razor!!! Decided yesterday I would eat eggs one month past their expiration date and lets just say I haven't quite felt like going in the ocean yet this morning...
Well, I didn't realize I was being prophetic! Oh mon dieu I hope you bounce back swiftly. Sorry for your egg-eating foibles, I will pray for your intestines.
Shoulda had the pop tart!!
Feeling much better now and heading out. Sad thing is we both knew what a horrible mistake we were making but straight up Thelma and Louise style we decided to go for it...
EGGS EXPIRE!?!?!?!
