Filler Friday: File Under "Things That Make No Sense"

Various screenshot of hockey related-things around the internet that just make no sense.

Currently 13th in the Western Conference at 30 -28 - 8 after 66 games.

That's 68 points. In 66 games. And that probably won't even get them a top 5 draft pick this year.

Also, check out the awesome alligator belt buckle.
If all you see is crotch, that's your problem.

Unfortunately for Matt Greene they were not available in UND.

(also available in LA Kings and Minnesota North Stars)

Just like Happy Gilmore!

I can see Matt Greene in these:

Since Budweiser is now owned by Belgians, not to mention just plain bad. I recommend the following:

North to the future!

Own it.
