Slambovian Circus Of Tampa Bay
Warning: really stupid hockey blog post coming
But I didn’t make any of this up. And besides, being a Canucks fan, it takes a bit of creativity to make fun of anyone else this season… and I’m bored of making fun of my own team. It’s like shooting ducks in a barrel lately.

Genius - Lyrics
Tampa Bay Lightning Theme Song
a.k.a. Name That Player!
I think I lost it once again
I’m out on the street wanting the end
And even friends do not pretend
They understand me anymore
My head has gotten so damn big
I cannot even wear my wig
And girls are dogs and men are pigs
And where is God?
I got to drown myself again just to survive
I take this stuff so that I even want to stay alive cause
Genius always rides on a rollercoaster
It’ll toast ya, weenie-roast ya
When all your brilliant peers are already ghosts ya
Wonder should ya hang around at all
Maybe I’ll throw it all away
Perfectly end a lousy day
Then I’ll no longer have to play
This stupid game
Finally, the Slambovian Lightning’s Top Selling Album. (”Music that can heal what ails ya!”) Hard to say which ones, but I figure those are definitely Tampa players on the cover.

Don’t the Lightning refer to themselves as “Hockey Bay USA”?
That’s just weak.

Thanks, Brushback. I felt it was important to immediately add that to the album cover.
Hockey Bay, USA. Surely destined to be a classic…

It’s Florida for chrissake! If living in Florida during the winter, would you rather be…
1. Waterskiing
2. Fishing
3. Sunbathing and drinking poolside
4. Attending a college or NFL football game…outside.
5. Sitting in a dark arena watching a mediocre hockey team?
Only in Tampa(x) Bay.

I just think it’s funny fans of a team with only one more point than a (admittedly) weak Lightning team feel the need to poke fun. Maybe you guys should focus on making the playoffs this season after not showing up last year.

Geez, a little sensitive, aren’t you?
Believe me, I poke fun at the Canucks plenty… just need a change of pace sometimes.

Hey, we just lost a game to the fuckin Leafs, I’m allowed to be sensitive.

Fair enough. The Leafs make everyone a bit nuts, I think.
