Quick SBNation News On Winnipeg Hockey

Just to let everyone know, the website formerly known as Behind the Net has been relaunched as Arctic Ice Hockey, and will be the SBNation home for the new team in Winnipeg, whatever they are called. A report came out earlier this morning saying it would definitely be the rebirth of the Jets, but I have no idea how solid it is.
It sounds like they will still be doing some of the statistical work that I know you guys enjoy, but from now on they are a full time Moose/Jets/Polar Bears/Prarie Dogs (please God no) blog. So head over there when you get a chance and wish them well.
Also, for those of you that may not have noticed, our own 8kPower has officially joined the crew here at Blueshirt Banter. As everyone knows, 8K brings a lot of knowledge and humor to the site, and we're very happy to have him on board.

Congrats 8K! Enjoyed your visits to Japers’ during the playoffs.
You perhaps knew me better as "Your Nation's Capital." Same great commentary, now with 100% more transparency!
And at Raw Charge with the LightNang fans

Ha Ha...
8k? salary?..I get it….that’s a funny joke…I’m thinking 8,000 fashnegles or rubies are in order…
More importantly, if 8k goes down with an injury, can BB buy him out? :)
Nope only if he’s healthy…however if he does try to still obtain his full salary while not being able to contribute to the team, we’ll all surround him with torches and pitchforks until we force him to retire…

No no don’t start banning yet…were only saying about 3 years down the road when you can’t contribute anymore and we need your money to bring in a big free agent that will contribute :)

Me kissing your ring? Pfffffft.
Technically you are the new guy. I never have to get coffee for anyone again… or “dispose” of one of the dead hookers that sometimes just shows up around here. I don’t know which guy does it… but they almost always have abacus-shaped bruises on them.
I find the best way to “dispose” of the bodies is to get the limbs off of the torso, get the head off to. A bone saw will do the job, but you have to get through the skin, flesh, and sinew first. You should get a nice big blue tarp. Why blue? Because it reminds me of the ocean. And you need to put your mind somewhere else when you are butchering a human body, TRUST ME. For me that somewhere else is making a sandcastle and enjoying the Atlantic Ocean… that fantasy world gets fucked up when you cut through an artery and a geyser of blood hits you in the face… but you get the idea. Anyway, dig a hole anywhere around Nassau Coliseum (no one is ever around there) and throw the body parts in there with some lye. Make sure to wear gloves, a hair net, and scrape your skin with a pumice stone before you get down to work like in that movie “Gattaca”… remember Gattaca? With Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman?
I should stop here.

I haven’t written enough… being out of school and having nothing to really write about for the Banter has my dam of creativity overflowing a little bit.
I think I have to take the little critics out of my brain and just write fun articles for the Banter. People seem to enjoy them and they keep me sane… mostly.
Seriously though, never look George in the eye. Your head will start to feel very hot and you’ll break into a sweat… he melts brains. And drinks up the hot brain soup that comes out of your ears and nostrils as sustenance. Remember that big brain bug from Starship Troopers?
What the fuck is wrong with me, a Gattaca and Starship Troopers reference in the same day?

“dig a hole around Nassau Coliseum” is redundant.

you forgot to mention the pigs
Once you’ve got the body chopped up the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You’ve got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies’ digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don’t want to go diggin’’ through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, “as greedy as a pig”.

It seems that the Banter, like the Rangers, are finally embracing the youth movement!
I listen to Enter Sandman before taking exams. I wear the exact same jersey every Giants game. The Rangers goal song goes off in my head when I achieve small successes in life.
