Idle Hands: Hockey-Reference Pages

This community's history of online hijinks is long and distinguished. One of our first ventures was the sponsoring of rival Hockey-Reference pages. Last year we racked up some new ones and now have a pretty good stable. Today, I just want to get an idea of which ones you folks think are worth keeping. Here's what we have. The first link is the post with suggested captions and the second in the H-R.com page. The Carey Price and Montreal Canadiens ones had to be changed because they proliferated a rumour that I have heard from a couple of good sources that Carey Price may have allegedly gotten a girl in trouble who may or may not have had to miss home room as a result:
- Carey Price - "More Ken Dryden (Liberal Leadership Candidate) than Ken Dryden (Conn Smythe Winner)"
- Montreal Canadiens - ""A proud tradition of attacking refs, senseless rioting, running with mobsters, bandwagon fans, stealing soccer chants and desperately clinging to the past. A cup drought with no end in sight (so help us God)."
- Ottawa Senators - "The Dynasty That Never Was from the City That Fun Forgot. A fan base made up entirely of bandwagon hoppers, small children, and former (and future) Leafs and Habs fans."
- Daniel Alfredsson - ""Go ahead and write it, I guarantee we'll win the Cup." - Daniel Alfredsson, 2004."
- Cory Clouston - "Longest serving & winningest coach in Senators history"
After the jump I've attached a poll in which you can select multiple options to see which ones to renew.
Lest we be accused of being obsessed with other fanbases, we also managed to pick up three of the most important Leafs related pages:
- Luke Schenn - "Our Luke and Saviour"
- Mats Sundin - "First player to score 500 as a Leaf. All-time Leaf leader in goals and second in assists. 20th most goals scored in the NHL and most overtime goals in NHL history. Nine-time all-star. Captain of the Swedish Gold Medal Olympic team. Greatest Leaf Ever."
- Toronto Maple Leafs - "Through the pain and misery to better times – blue and white will always be the colours of our hearts."

I’d be happy auctioning off Montreal Canadiens.

Keeping it as is seems a little too tempting for the hockey gods.

The Alfie, Price, Mats, and Ottawa ones are good to stay.

Dany Heatley Speedwagon suggests we get Jacques Martin instead of Cory Clouston.

needs more Leafs and less of other teams...
suggestions (as of right now, these are open for sponsorship)
just for giggles, Tim Brent
and, it’s criminal that neither Doug Gilmour nor Felix Potvin are sponsored. :(
I have nothing interesting to say.

We need Gilmour, Felix, Kadri and Gustavsson.

am i the only one that isn’t seeing the sponsorship box on any of the hockey reference pages?
Yesterday is dead, but not my memory.
No
I can see the Sens ones, but not the Habs ones.

The fucking Montreal and Carey Price ones had to be re-adjusted because of the innuendo about Carey Price’s misdirected advances.

lame.
i like the one proposed for montreal (yes, i know it’s mine) without the cup drought part. way too tempting. it feels wrong even having it in writing in the text of this post.
love the leafs one, we should do it. that was sleza’s suggestion, yes? hats off to her.
Yesterday is dead, but not my memory.
Yeah
I told the guy that too. I took out the Cup drought part in case we all need to commit seppuku.
