Yahoo sports is no good.

They used their picks to address glaring needs in the organization.

RW? Check
G? Check
D? Check x2
High end Center? That's a big 10-4!

Size? Oh yeah.
Truculence? Yep x2 (Bollig, Smith)

Boo this man? Yep x2

Move over Chris Butler and TJ Galiardi, Flames fans have their new whipping boy. On a beauty 3 year contract, too.

"Quotes" don't make it okay.

If only we could delete the word from CP!

Buzz word... This is your THIRD appearance in this thread, dammage. Goddammageit! Worth a couple infraction points IMO.

That just smells like too much of a Brian Burke 'truculence' pick.

Something smells alright, mrdonkey

Cam Ward - odd man out, no trade, overpaid and possibly negative value @ 6.3M 2 yrs remaining

just to name a few

god damnit i'm excited!

Love it! The best part of this crusade is that most of these posters likely never look in here and will therefore never know they are being mocked.

Wiggum: I'd love to, Lou, but I'm playing tennis at the
Simpsons' again.
[pan to the next aisle, where Marge is overhearing
the conversation. Maggie grabs hold of her ears]
Marge: Ooh, Maggie, are your ears burning?
Lou: The Simpsons? You mean the L. A. Clippers of
backyard tennis?
Wiggum: [laughs] Yeah. They're easier to beat than a
suspect in shackles.
Lou: Pretty easy to beat a suspect in shackles, Chief.
Wiggum: Well, that's the joke, Lou. It's on the Simpsons
and their easy beatability. [they both laugh]
Marge: [gasps]
Mrs. Lovejoy: [walks up to Lou and Wiggum] I think they enjoy
being humiliated.
Mel: [joins in] I don't know what's sadder about the
Simpsons, the fact that we mock them, or that they
shall never know.
Marge: Ohh ...
Mel: Never, ever, ever. Ever.

Torn on this one since I'm a sucker for a bad pun (and the metric system). You also bought yourself a bit of credit with using the word "belligerence" instead, so I'll let it slide for now.

Thin ice though. Real thin.

Or, they're purposely using it because they enjoy sun's one-man crusade against it.

[Baxter Renegade]

hahaha... This thread is awesome.

Haha, fair enough, but it would be nice if it was more organic and a crusade against the actual offenders. God knows there's enough of them out there.

Huge post today, brothers! Hopefully this will help convince the mods that this word should be banned on the grounds of overuse, unfunny jokes, and anemic vocabularies.

The work ethic and energy has to carry over, though, in order for it to happen. It'll be a by committee effort to win more games than we lose.

Another comic in our midst! At least news of the jihad is spreading. The sun will come out tomorrow and tomorrow and the next day until the t-word is stricken from this website.

Some added truculence and help on the RW. Agitator and can still play hockey and score some goals.

I like Hunter Smith and I will give his family a pass here since they're not aware of the t-word's choking overuse. Left shirt should read "Pugnacious", however. Tense fail.

Bennett will have to have some kind of silly,crazy,######ed,truculent and unreal 9 games NOT to go back to Kingston under this regime.

I love this thread and fully support sun in his quest for less truculence in here.

[sun]

Welcome aboard, trublmaker, it's good to have you. I hope you find your missing vowels soon!

[Resolute 14]

Dear mods,

Please forcibly add "Truck" to the signature line of 1/3 of the registered users. "u" to 1/3 and "lence" to 1/3. Then lets see how often we can match the three up, and just how much steam we can cause to pour out of Sun's ears!

[Cali Panthers Fan]

Bahaha, this thread makes me smile, and in such a random place too! Wunderbar!

I would love him to prove me wrong because I feel the Flames are craving for a player who is big, nasty and can play... but till then I won't expect much out of him.

But he has a shot and he has earned it so it's up to him to make the most of the opportunity.

I'm totally fine with Byron not being signed. We have a bunch of centres now, and it's time for someone like Reinhart to step in, or maybe the one Vancouver game 'try out' made them realize they have something in Arnold sooner than later. Plus who knows what they have up their sleeve.

I'm not really surprised by Cundari because even though he's small he seems to try and play the trucu-style of game that they want.

[DownhillGoat]

puffnstuff kind of makes a good point though. Anything in German instantly sounds much better. I mean how can you hate the term "aufsässig"?
