Sure this isn't really Leafs related anymore, but it's too funny not to bring to light.

Saturday night Lee Stempniak "somehow" scored himself a hattrick, and Greg Wyshynski noted this odd feat in the title of his Saturday recap over on Puck Daddy. Well wouldn't you know, this caught the ire of [Lee Stempniak's](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/55134/lee-stempniak?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [boozer brother ](https://twitter.com/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com#!/JAYSTEMP/status/160579181669912576)[Jay](http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=103406&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). The conversation unfolded on Twitter as such:

> @wyshynski "stempniak somehow tallies hat trick" nice backhanded compliment. Searching the internet can't seem to find your career stats pal

> @JAYSTEMP Rounded to the nearest ten, how many times have you had to defend your brother's career on the Internet?

> Key word there is CAREER @wyshynski I love your blog bud good stuff. Does typing your uneducated opinion on the internet pay the bills?

> @JAYSTEMP I don't think you love our blog. Nor do I think we're buds. I can't converse with the disingenuous.

> Took you an hour to come up with that @wyshynski? About as creative and insightful a your blog keep up the good work you jock sniffer

> @JAYSTEMP For what it's worth, I can now cross "getting chirped by Lee Stempniak's never-was brother" off my bucket list.

> You're not allowed to use the term 'chirped' @wyshynski its reserved for people who actually laced em up Not jock sniffer freelance bolggers

[and then Ryan Lambert, aka twolinepass, won the Internet:](https://twitter.com/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com#!/twolinepass/status/161276866387386368)
