I remember when I used to like the Geriatrics ...
Back in the day ...
Years ago ...
When
#67 graced the roster ...
And Harris hooked them up with the Pulitzer Prize-winning artist who
designed their logo ...
Back in the day ...
When we were all friends.
But my how things have changed. I am embarrassed to say that the Geriatric roster, which used to be filled with guys that I would call friends, is now filled with a bunch of thugs — Hooligans.
You name it, it is an embarrassment to hockey and a strike against GoodSports and all it's subholdings and conglomerates.
I for one have no idea how anyone who has anything to do with the day-to-day operations of GoodSports has anything to do with the Geriatric brand. In fact, I hope anyone who has any input into any Halloween purchases steers clear of Party City and any other place that looks, feels or smells like a Party City. Think about it.
It is the point that matters.
If you don't get it ...
well ...
you don't get it.

ONE FOR THE RECORD BOOKS
The 38:00-minutes of penalty time in this outing shattered the previous record of 22:00-minutes set six years ago. Highlights of this love-in included Brooks being evicted for his third penalty in the final minute and the Gerrys' #10 landing a one-game suspension for “abuse of referee.” Besides Brooks, other Pirates who lost their chance at a Lady Byng were: Farrell (cross-checking). LeMatty (cross-checking), and Baio (holding).
