ok who's fatter: Mike Duffy or Rob Ford?
- DoubleDown

K changing her name?

i know, that was the point.
- DoubleDown

sigh.. the leafs arent even worth the effort to mock anymore

Duffy, if its based on fat alone.

I'd bet Ford weighs more though. He looks like there could be some muscle under his fat coat.

Duffy, not so much.
- pete26

it's too bad Chris Farley is dead. a middle-aged quasi-sober Farley would have been the ideal fit for the inevitable biopic.

That has never been the case, and will never be the case. EVER.

Just read on twitter that the Selke trophy is kind of a Hipster Hart. I lol'd.

Hi Dave, 


Your two passions in life seem to be hockey and Game of Thrones. So if you had to build a hockey team using Game of Thrones characters, what would that team look like?

No one will ever ask a better question than Carol, so we may as well suspend all mailbag activity on this site after this. I got this late in the day Wednesday, so I feel as though I didn’t put enough time into this answer, but this is what the Westeros Dragons would like entering the 2013-14 season going by where the show is at now in terms of who is still alive:



Team owner: Tywin Lannister

General manager: Petyr “Littlefinger” Baelish

Head coach: Cersei Lannister

Assistant coaches: Catelyn Stark, Daenerys Targaryen



FORWARD LINES

Jamie Lannister – Robb Stark – Brienne of Tarth

Jon Snow – Stannis Baratheon – Ser Davos Seaworth

Loras Tyrell – Tormund Giantsbane – Podrick Payne

The Hound – Bronn – Locke

Extra: Thoros of Myr



You’re very likely immediately questioning the use of Jamie Lannister on the top line. After all, he has one hand. I don’t know about you, but I think the guy has a great chance to recover from this injury. Ever hear of a baseball player by the name of Jim Abbott? Well, he had one hand and was pretty terrific. He has Brienne on the right wing to offer protection, so I like the balance there.

The second line is a mix of old fire and youthful exuberance. Stannis is as motivated to win as anyone, and having Snow to learn from him on that line will help. The chemistry between Stannis and Ser Davos will be key to this line.

The third line is the biggest question mark. Lot of different classes and backgrounds having to come together here. Having Loras on the team will help us benefit in the speed department, and it also shows that the Westeros Dragons are advocates of the You Can Play initiative. Podrick has proven to be talented in both war and with the ladies, while Tormund is a leader just like our top two centers. If this line produces, look out.

The fourth line is simply the Psychotic Murderers Line. No real game plan here.



DEFENSE PAIRS

Theon Greyjoy – Ser Jorah Mormont

Tyrion Lannister - Joffrey Baratheon

Lord Varys – Gendry

Extra: Orell



Lots of unknowns here. I was originally down on Theon as a leader of any kind, but the way he’s been playing defense during his torture has been commendable and I think will toughen him up. If he can handle weeks of torture, he can handle 25 minutes a night against top competition. Jorah has been defending Khaleesi for years, so his credentials need no explanation.

The Lannister-Baratheon pairing proved strong in defending King’s Landing, even if Joffrey was pretty useless during Stannis’ attack. Still, the duo got it done. Joffrey’s unpredictable nature will strike fear into opponents.

As for Varys-Gendry, I don’t know. Can Varys skate? If he can, he’ll use his intellect to his advantage. Gendry will act as the sixth defenseman, so anything we get out of him will be gravy.



GOALTENDERS

Samwell Tarly

Hodor



Yeah, they are big and fat. I have to go with what I know here. If Samwell has any sort of glove hand or flexibility, this team is going all the way. If not, Hodor can carry (get it?) the team for long stretches.

Terrible coaching choices.

The Hound should be on D with Joffrey (who is pure offensive), and Gregor takes his spot on the 4th line.

Thoros of Myr should be playing, but I can understand the owner to bench him because he would cost a lot of money by setting his sticks on fire.

yes i saw that

you only need one hand to throw a ball

personally i'd use him in a 4th line grinder role.. he can still fight and he's chirpy as hell
