Dear Ken Dryden: Hockey Needs You!
At first, I thought it was really cool. Ken Dryden. Hero to millions- me included- running for the federal Liberals. Then, he was named to a cabinet post. Still cool, but a little strange. Now, we hear whispers that he may run for the Liberal leadership. As a true bleu, blanc et rouge Habs fan, that just makes me feel fucking icky. Yes, he is a lawyer. Yes, he is instantly recognizable to most Canadians. Well, at least to those over say......ummmm....35? But what is one of the greatest netminders of all time and an icon of the most successful (debatable) sports dynasty doing in the nastiest of sports- politics?
Come back to hockey Kenny!
Ken, you need to come back to help les glorieux reorganize their faltering franchise. I know you must have become very disillusioned working for the dark side during those pointless, derelict, angst-ridden, life-sucking, what must have seemed like endless years. But please don't let that hapless, cupless miserable Leaf disease destroy your lust for life! Child care is nothing compared to the legacy you could leave if you refocussed your efforts.
Please Ken, for the love of poutine, listen to me dude! As leader of the oppositon ( and potentially the entire nation) you will undoubtedly be concerned with national unity. What better way to get Quebecers who are on the other side of the blue line back on side, than by coaching the boys from Mont Royale back into another 5 or 6 cups? Think about it big guy... Canada, politics, k-dough, liberal, conservative, harper, Ontario, kdough, criticism, neo-con, commentary, communications, legislature, Chretien, election,policy, hand guns, Toronto

I'm totally not a hockey fan, but I always get Ken Dryden screwed up with that guy who paints images of hockey players.
...I just did a google - Ken Danby.
Ager- Ha! I don't know who you think I am, but I appreciate your comments notwithstanding.
A supporter of a team with a playoff record as disappointing as the Buffalo Bills might want to exercise a little restaint when criticizing others...
I hope your abundant tears don't make it too slippery to maintain your perch on the mast of the sinking blue and white ship, when once again (if they even get in)the Loafs choke when the going gets tough this Spring!
Vive les habitants!
"One day the leafs will get their shit together and you and all the other non-montrealer habs fans will be bandwagon JUMPIN"
Yeah, right. I may have bought the Brooklyn Bridge, but even I'm not gullible enough to swallow THAT. You poor guy. You are only deluding yourself.
Go Habs Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ager: Try to take comfort in the fact that, as you age, your anxiety will recede into the depths of your increasingly diminishing faculties, and that maybe someday, before a nurse is wiping pablum from your chin, that the Imposters may at least make it past the 3rd round.
Mats Sundin will be lucky if he has enough strength left in his feeble aged-limbs to lift a shotgun to his temple, once he realizes his career-long dream is once again destroyed by the terrible choking curse of the great Imposters.
I'm a huge hockey fan, but I have to say, respectfully, I think that the future of Canada is just a bit more important than the future of an NHL hockey team.
