The Stanley “Pup” Playoffs should be an SNL skit – or at least playing on ESPN “The Ocho”i – but here we are in our secularly over-entertained soviet era watching a bunch of neutered reject mutts pre-game until the ginger-hairedii McJeebus can take the ice, where we hope and pray to our gladiator–idol ne plus ultra that he’ll bind our atomised peoples with his super-dangle super-glue. So why not lean into it? It’s straight Banana Zone IRL!
SO LET’S GO OILERS!! WE WANT THE PUP!!!1
