Phoenix, Arizona: Calgary's Garbage Pile

Well, today I see that defenceman Andres Eriksson has signed with Phoenix and the first thing I instinctively did was literally "lol". Outstanding that this guy still has a job in the NHL; if you have ever had the treat of watching his bumbling ass on the ice you know that he is a liability more than anything else. His nickname is Bubba, because of his fat ass, which just glorifies the fact that he is out of shape and all around a brutal hockey player.

Thanks for the memories, you fat fuck

But what is really outstanding about this is how many former Flames now play for the Coyotes. Adding Eriksson to the pile of shitgarbage that includes Jimmy Vandermeer, Adrian Aucoin, Matt Lombardi, and until the beginning of the season Brandon Prust, shows that for some reason the Phoenix management has a sick obsession with Calgary's trash. This is equivalent to watching a homeless person walk around campus rooting garbage cans looking for recyclables. Although, I must say, my mother did once root through Dany Heatley's parent's garbage cans, grab one of his street hockey sticks, and have it signed by him.

Now the question asked is which looks worse: the fact that the Coyotes only want players that the Flames have made absolutely clear they have no interest in, or the fact that Phoenix and Calgary both have 44 points in the standings so far (albeit Calgary has a game in hand). You gotta wonder what having a coach other than Mike Keenan would have done for our boys, as Dave Tippet seems to have a team that at the very least goes out and competes every night.
