We’ll be honest with you: Ever since this whole NHL Playoffs trend of defacing the Rocky statue began, we’ve been pretty pumped. We’ve had it out for that piece of shit ever since John Street took whatever filthy lucre was necessary to get it out front of one of the great art museums of the world. It’s an embarassment, and it — the statue, and the people that put it there, for that matter — need to pay. And while we knew we couldn’t rely on a bunch of dirty French Canadians to get the job done, we at least thought that some Pittsburgh fans would go buck wild on the statue. You know, get all Hanson Brothers about it and shove some plastique explosive up its ass. But no: What we’re subjected to instead are videos like the one at right, where Pittsburgh fans merely drape Penguins gear on the Rock in the most dainty, gay way imaginable. It’s like they’re putting a fucking doily on the dude. And the LOVE sculpture? Half-assing that, too. All of which brings us to a little bit of a crisis of faith: Just what is the makeup of this team the Flyers are battling in the playoffs? Because we know this much: The Flyers can beat MEN. But doily-draping, tittering t-shirt hangers? We honestly have no idea.
