The NHL Draft Weekend in 10,000 Words

PrintNo real story here. Just thought I'd share with you some of the pictures I took while having a bitching time in Montreal this past weekend.
This is how most PPP articles are written:
Wellwood PPP: Blog!
Subordinate Chemmy: Yes sir. Just don't hit me again.
From L to R: Drunk Chemmy, Happy Puck Daddy, Gorgeous PPP
Drunk SkinnyFish: Holy shit! You're "The Cup Guy"! Can I get a picture with you.
Cup Guy: Hey. Yeah sure. My name's Phil.
Drunk SkinnyFish: Yo PPP! Get your ass in the picture with Phil the Cup Guy!
PPP discover the new fade of "texting" on his cellular telephone circa 1999.
PPP with Alyn McCauley. The three of us talked about everything from his new job as a scout for the LA Kings, to the absolute gong show that is Toronto sports media for over an hour until we got kicked out of the bar. The we walked about 10 drunken blocks with Alyn to his hotel in the complete opposite direction as our hotel, just so we could keep bullshiting with him. Such a cool guy. And handsome too.
Me and PPP sharing a goodnight kiss before turning off the lights...
BCWW
A confused Chemmy and concerned Fucifer look on outside of Schwartz's after some smoked meat sandwiches. 5 minutes later, Matt Duchenne and his family came out. Cool stuff.
Yes, I did drink these four Margaritas. Yes, this is how blurry my vision was afterward.
Billy Dee Williams says you gots to chug!!
Look at these two handsome gentlemen. With out them, this weekend wouldn't have happened. Thanks be to PPP and Chemmy.
If you want to see more pictures, check out my gallery of the weekend.

Alyn McCauley, what a guy. I love him, definitely one of my favourite Maple Leafs when he played. And you’re absolutely right – PPP and Chemmy are absolutely tip top gentlemen.
Thanks for sharing the pics, Skinnyfish. Certainly looks like you had one hell of a time with everyone, too.

I too have always loved McCauley. I was so sad when he retired….

He was a great guy. It was an amazing discussion. I’ll have to see if I can get more from him.

Okay, this is a Burke/Chiarelli situation.
This pic-
Unless the new definition of “pitcher of rum and coke” is now “half-litre bottle of Coke”. Or you actually poured the mix into the bottle and walked with it, which would make perfect sense. :)

Henry: [begging Marlin to let Henry see Lucy and apologize after she ate at the diner] I don’t want it to end like this.
Doug: Yeah, well, it’s gonna end like this!
[Doug runs to beat up Henry but then Henry holds him down]
Henry: Calm down, little fella!
Doug: Okay I’m calm!
[pause]
Doug: I coulda whooped his ass, Daddy but this gravel – I siped on it a fwell.
Marlin: Then maybe you need to do a little bit more butt flexes.

We always knew Leaf fans were the smartest
and this is proof they’re the most beautiful as well. Looks like it was a great time, and I’m very jealous I missed it.
I gotta know this though: Does Wyshnyski stink?
heh
Wyshynski is a gentleman and a scholar. Great guy to meet and hang out with this weekend. He also gave Chemmy’s book the single funniest dedication I have ever read.

Yeah, I remember that. First time I wasn’t carded when buying beer, I was 27.

Leaf, the universe and everything.
this year is the first year I’ve not been carded.
i’m still kind of sad about it…

Going grey(ish) in your early 30s helps enormously in not getting carded.

My friend went grey in high school and still gets carded. On the other hand my hair’s still there and black and I don’t BUT I do get extra searches in airports so I’ve got that going for me.

Probably a bad idea. I was flying with my fiancee and we got pulled out for the random search. They patted me down and then the guy went to pat her down.
They had the cops come over when I made a big deal, and it’s the TSA’s fucking policy to not have men pat down women and vice versa. Luckily the cop agreed with me that having another dude grope your fiancee is a little unreasonable.
It’s really best not to make a big deal since the people who work airline security have a whole lot of ways to really fuck you over and no accountability. You miss your flight because they searched you for five hours? Not their fault. Detained by the police because they claimed you were making threats? There’s no recordings, and it’s not their problem.

first time I wasn’t carded was when I was in 18 and was in the U.S. with the higher drinking age.

Like I said to PPP on twitter
Dude was my fave player. I almost got his jersey, when they traded him to San Jose, I almost left Leaf Nation.

I almost left Leaf Nation.
What? Burn the heretic!
A Nation of Masochists a blog dedicated to Toronto sports fans, who are continually punished but keep coming back for more.
my (former, long story…) nephew got the chance to see a Leafs playoff game at the ACC once, front row seats, right by the penalty box. I know it was a game 7, but for the life of me I can’t remember which game.
During the player warm ups, McCauley saw my nephew sitting there, and I can only imagine the look of awe he had on his face. I guess, to have some fun with the kid, he started firing wristers at the glass right in front of him.
Then, he skated over and tossed him a game puck.
Class, all the way.

age ain’t nothing but a number.
Also you’re not the oldest. Some on here were alive when the Leafs last won the Cup. The insight of the older fans though provides us younger fans more knowledge on the years we can only read about ie. the Ballard years.
