Everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt
As the New Jersey Flaming Zeppelins Director of Non-Hockey Operations, I have decided to tap for our Hype Song the ultimate kiss-off song from Secaucus, NJ's now-defunct and catastrophe-prone faves, The Wrens. Coming off of their magnum opus, The Meadowlands, Hopeless is a bitter angry song about being dicked around by someone you loved and/or trusted, wasting away years of your life with nothing to show for it in the end, and telling them to f*** off. Everything is mid-tempo and plaintive until the squealing guitars break out during the initial unsung chorus, and by the time the chorus swings back around, I'm always ready to shout out the words while breaking stuff, which is exactly the state of mind we want our fanbase to have right before each game:
Hopeless that this will turn out better
This isn't want I wanted
I should have listened to them
Go thank yourself for nothing
It's really all you're good for
And every year you wasted
And every half-assed offer
Incidentally, this is also going to be my own personal pre-game hype song should I deign to watch any Orange Team games this season.

That hype song mja just picked is very f***ing fresh.
We start the day with @BiggE on the clock, @DancingPanther on deck with two selections, then back through the smoke of those two to @Chuck Downie on the lido deck, and then on to the lido afterdeck and Cannon, whose pick will arrive at the office as soon as his sister's wife has her baby.
Do any of you remember This Week in Baseball's TWIB Notes? They are like quick-hitting items of information. Here are some of those, Quack Style.
That'll do, pig.

- After I post this, I am going to go in that Quackverse Sweater Vote Thread and post bigger pics of all the sweaters. When I finish, go in there and vote. Don't worry about being diplomatic - just vote honestly. I'm still going to yell at you, but don't take it seriously.
- Member when I was talking about China and I was like, quote, "The panel is useless"? It is really so, SO useless. One of them will say something dopey and obvious and pointless, and then all the rest of them will either nod or say "That's true" or repeat what the person just said. It's in stark contrast to the actual contents of the dating house, which are so f***ing REAL.
- Speaking of the house, that rocket is happy now with the new guy (who is nice and normal and cool enough), and it makes her look even more spectacular. My eyes are going to miss her badly after I finish this last episode.
- Sports are f***ing stupid.
- In my Wordscapes app that I play during my morning ablutions, there was an ad where Oprah and Ellen are championing the benefits of apple cider vinegar gummies in burning belly fat. The gummies part made me think of the first two on the clock today, and the belly fat made me think of Lizzo. I don't know why I am bringing this up except for the fact that it is in there, and I always take what's in there and put it out here.
That'll do, pig.

Huh, me?
Yeah ok, give me a sec to find our next idiot hockey player.
Ooh, a bong, brb
Ok, welcome to Jacksonville
Gavin White D
Our fanbase will look at his name and assume he’s a country singer and the three or so that actually like hockey will be excited because apparently being a right handed defenseman is some kind of big deal or something.
I now pass the mic and the bong to @DancingPanther

Our trial by combat champion will be THOR, NORSE GOD OF THUNDER
Our last futurehead will be Ryan Chesley, D. What more do you want in a late round selection than this
Chesley’s transition decisions are immediate, and he’s usually making the best play. Manipulates forecheckers, steps inside, goes cross-ice for breakout passes. It’s been years since a draft-minus-one NTDP defender showed this much creativity and consistency on the breakout. His breakout passes consistently create space for his teammates. When he leads the rush, he manipulates pressure then dekes around them, before finishing his off-puck route. Just so involved and refined. And he’s quite physical defensively to go with an instinctual break-up-focused game, risk-mitigating footwork, and controlled stick work.
@BiggE for the last time this draft I pass along to you!

You can never have too many Ludwigs has always been a motto of mine. Do you have any Ludwigs @Chuck Downie ? If not, you’re up and I’m sure there are dozens of Ludwigs still available.

What! He's a rich elite with multiple TVs. He's going to be guillotined after the revolution.
I'm the highly charismatic everyman who will be placed in charge after the revolution. I have only a few TVs.
We are opposites.
