When Thugs Get Iced

By Zamboni

We cats know of few things more satisfying than when people who deserve to lose, lose.

Which means we're contentedly licking our chops today. This is not a sports blog, but something happened in the world of hockey this week that reminded us of a similar event in politics.

After the Montreal Canadiens beat the Boston Bruins to advance in the Stanley Cup playoffs Wednesday night, a sore-loser Bruin threatened one of the Habs during, incredibly, the storied post-game handshake. Instead of sucking it up and acting like a man, Milan Lucic told Dale Weise, sotto voce, that he was going to, um, effing kill him next year.

You know what we cats say? Enjoy yourself on the golf course, Milan. Play better hockey next time.

L'Affaire Lucic couldn't help but remind us of another Bay-State-based bully, "Tagg" Romney. Remember him? He's the little creep who in 2012 said he wanted to rush the stage and "take a swing" at the President of the United States. See, "Tagg" was a little upset because that second Presidential debate didn't go so well for dear dad Willard.

We cats are always unimpressed by such boorishness. And we are equally glad that just as Milan Lucic won't be hoisting the Stanley Cup this year, "Tagg" isn't breakfasting in the family quarters at the White House. Which makes us PURR.
