David Staples over at The Cult of Hockey just threw down with Adrian Dater, bashing the Avalanche along the way.
AD twitted - from a sick bed, not from the press box - the following:
"Can't win 'em all at home. A shame the Avs had to finally lose to a dog team like Edmonton at home, though."
To say Edmonton is a dog team is a little harsh. The Avalanche didn't play horrible but they were certainly beat by the better team last night. If they lost to Minnesota, then yes that would be losing to a dog team. But nonetheless, Staples took offense as if Dater had fired a "Yo momma" shot across the bow.
Amidst a flury of knocks against the Avs and their fans, he decided to take a shot at the city itself:
"Denver is a great city. It's America's version of Calgary."
A guy from Edmonton knocking on Calgary? Seriously?
Thanks to Kukla as usual for digging this stuff up.

The only thing that is consistent here is the French Canadian penchant for playing the language card whenever possible. How many English speaking kids were great junior players but never made it?
