it's time at long last to bid a fond farewell to one of the biggest assholes ever to stand between the pipes in the NHL. a netminder i loved to hate to hate to love to watch, Patrick Waaa. in honor of his departure, i took a moment to learn something new about dear, departed Pattie. and this, straight from the all-knowing internet, is what I learned about Patrick:

Favorite Food: Chicken
Favorite Athlete: John Daly (golf)
[John Daly? i wonder if athlete is French for "overweight jerk"...]
Favorite Music: Rod Stewart; Madonna; Celine Dion

so that's what i learned about Patrick Roy. i guess there's a little more to old Patrick than an ego the size of Texas. there's also the fact that he's a weirdo. finally, i wrote him a little letter. here it is:

dear Pat-

goodbye. i can't think of a single athlete i simultaneously loved to watch and wanted to see lose quite so much as you. thanks.
also: you look kind of strange without your mask on. you mind strapping on a helmet?

sincerely,
Charles de Gaulle

P.S.- don't come back.
