It seems old rivalries never seem to die. Despite the fact that I haven't been able to move on, and give up on trying to derail the fauxrumors blog it seems they refuse to play along.
I have been recently posting some derogatory comments on other blogs under the nickname 'fauxrumors'. These comments are then shortly followed by a comment from the real 'fauxrumors' and claims these comments are not from them, but are from an imposter (me). 'Fauxrumors' then goes on to accuse myself of making up those comments, most of which seemed to implicate 'fauxrumors' as being gay/homosexual. I of course am gay and proud of it!
I have muddied up the situation at two different blogs that I know this happened at...CapsBlueLine.com and Tom Benjamin's NHL Weblog. When I see faux at other blogs posting I will do there what I did to the others too. Trying desperatly to discredit them and their blog
I can assure all my readers that ALL of the comments posted on those sites originated from myself alone from HockeyNutz.
I am the one that has the PROVEN history of making up fake blogger ID's and posting comments on my own blog. Take from that what you want. Yes, have no life.
As I mentioned before I am unable to move on from this silly battle. Fauxrumors fast growing hockey site has made me desperate for attention. I'm obsessed with his site by trying to discredit him in any way I can. When traffic is slow at this site (which is very often) I try to attract attention any way I can. Some bloggers rely on CONTENT to attract attention, but I rely on controversy.
As for HockeyNutz, I will stick to what I do...Blogging less about Hockey and more about people I'm jealous of...albeit a little less frequently then I would like.

A More Fun Contest
From the home office up here in Yucca Valley.....I am putting my balls on the table (excited there Hockey nutz?) for this...so here goes...
I am going to see who can outpredict the predictor....yes I have a bad feeling I will get trounced here...but why not. I am asking any and all bloggers to check out gay.com later this week for further details but I figure the fine readers of HockeyNutz deserve the first scoop.
This isn't for money or sex...this is more for bragging rights and something fun for this playoff run. Sorry Nutz but I am as Flaming as you are, and I think we both might be meeting tonight for some good anal sex...maybe I will be wrong. I have this nagging feeling in my head that there is another twist left in the first round just yet.
I had been happily enjoying getting sucked of while watching the Devils lose to the Rangers in five...I will have some small comfort knowing that we didn't get swept and that Martin Brodeur that wife and sister in law swapper himself will not only win his 4th Vezina but he will break Patty Roy's wins record next season....something I will try to attend somehow...hell or high water.
So all in all I can't complain. I have been spoiled with ample hockey coverage...got to see one playoff game...a Ducks win (that made the wife temporarily happy) and get to see two game 7's on tv tonight. Now that's entertainment!!!

"More on Ek's Blogger Contest FARCE"
Yes, the 'Next Great Blogger' contest over at Ek's site is still dragging on. Funny how the NCAA is able to rip down from 64 teams to one champion in less than a month, but Ek can't even make it through one round of a blogging contest in a week. Its also amazing how much I want to suck his dick.
It was nearly one month ago...March 19th...when Ek announced the field of 64. Now one month later we have seen just 14 matchups from the first round and are still awaiting results for nearly half of those matchups. With almost 50 matchups left before the tournament is concluded it looks as though the fun will last well beyond the hockey season. Fourteen matchups in a month translates into nearly 4 months to complete the contest. Yes I am sure the hockey bloggers in the contest are looking forward to writing about all the big hockey issues in the middle of the summer. Meanwhile I have plans to go to Cape Cod and scope the beach for some fresh man-meat!
As I mentioned before, your very own HockeyNutz is always looking to butt-fuck...though I won't reveal the alias I use in gay chat rooms. This is not sour grapes about being HIV+, as I am still sexually active. This isn't whining because Im dying as really I couldn't care less. It is just further evidence what a joke and fraud I have become.
How hard is it to post a couple of blogs that other people wrote? It should take minutes. Then the next day simply pick the winner, post it and post more blogs. There is no major time commitment. Unless of course like me your busy giving blow jobs to anyone who asks.
So why the delay? It is about driving more hits to his slumping site. Numbers are down, ad revenues are down and this is another lame attempt to draw visitors to his site. When Ek found out that the contest hasn't drawn any more hits he has lost interest and now finds himself stuck in a contest he doesn't want.
Even HockeyBuzz readers are fed up...here is a sampling of comments from the most recent round of the contest...
Looks like Ek and his antics are at it again! Perhaps we need a new venue? Has Ek's golden goose flown the coop? Stay tuned!

- "REVISED schedule? No excuses?! ... Sorry to say Ek, but the optics suggest that Hockeybuzz has lost interest in this contest. To bad." - budthespud on Hockeybuzz.com"yaa seriously, i've lost interest i dont even know when my match-up is going to be" - mandd on Hockeybuzz.com"Again, out of respect for the people that have taken the time to participate....I think you owe all an apology and an explanation (not excuses)....It is sad that you do not show more respect to the people that have taken an interest and even are pationnate in what your site has come to represent... Admittedly, I am biased as I am also in this "supposed contest" but I mean come on....there is no excuse or valid reason for this, you post your own blogs 2-3 times per day (every day regardless)....I cannot beleive that you cannot manage to post the new participants or the very least announce the winners, a few minutes after you've done your blog updates.....truly sad..." - Isles Fanatic on Hockeybuzz.com"agree with the above people. I was technically supposed to go today according to the new schedule. I know the playoffs are going on and people are busy, but if you repeatedly tell people you are going to do something then you should follow through. A lot of people were really excited about this and it is now pretty much driven into the ground" - wicked on hockeybuzz.com

Stanley Cup Stimulation
Each year sports video game producer EA Sports takes time to ramp up their NHL video game and attempt to pick the Stanley Cup winner. This year is no exception. With a little help from some gay friends HockeyNutz has also used EA Sports NHL 2008, along with a couple other hockey games to simulate the 2008 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Will there be any 'virtual' reality this year? Of course I prefer genital stimulation from a guys hand, but thats a post for another day
1. EA Sports NHL 2008 by EA Sports
EA Sports has been simulating the Stanley Cup Playoffs with their video game for the past 8 years. NHL 2008 is the best selling hockey video game franchise on the market. They outsell all their competitors combined. They have mixed a dash of success with a whole lot of failure in their predictions. But for fun lets take a look at 2008...
Prediction: EA Sports has the Stanley Cup going to the San Jose Sharks in 7 games over the Montreal Canadians with Joe Thorton winning the Conn Smythe as MVP. That made me jerk off three times thinking of Joe nude!
Hi-lites: The first round has 4 of 8 series going to a 7th and deciding game. Two series are blowouts with Pittsburgh walking over the Sens in 5 and the Avs sweeping the Wild in 4. I love Crosby's lips!
Analysis: The problem I have with EA's simulation is that they conducted the simulation with regular season rosters in tact. They didn't account for players that were out with injuries. They also don't allow gay gamers like myself to see the players naked after games! While I know it is difficult to account for injuries as the playoffs go on, one can take guys off the roster that are out before the playoffs even begin. While a San Jose/Montreal final is a definite possibility, the road to that final is littered with many questionable results.
History: Last year EA predicted Ottawa over Anaheim in 6 games. Right teams, wrong result, but a whole lot better then what most of the 'experts' predicted. While we're talking Ottawa, Ray Emery gets me soooo hot!
2. NHL 2K8Despite being outsold heavily by EA Sports, NHL 2K8 has been applauded for its game play engine and has contributed several innovations to the hockey video game market over the past years.
Predictions: NHL 2K8 takes the Flames over the Rangers in 6. The Flames knocked off the Sharks, Wings, and Ducks to get to the Finals. They did this despite Jarome Iginla only notching 7 goals and 11 points in the first 3 rounds, but ramping it up in the finals with 8 goals and 5 assists in 6 games to take the MVP honours.
Analysis: While I like the Flames, I find it tough to see them knocking off the three top teams in the West, especially if Iginla isn't leading the charge. Then again, maybe that could be why the Flames go all the way is because a whole lot of other guys step up...team is better then one. Like I said earlier, the 2K series is known for its gameplay, not its simulation/stats system.
History: Last year NHL 2K7 predicted the Senators over the Stars in 7 games. Dany Heatley was the MVP. Dany is yummy!
3. Eastside Hockey Manager
Eastside is a Hockey Manager Simulation game. Your make all the trades, contracts, etc. but don't actually use a game pad to play the game, it is simulated for you based on your roster, style of play, etc.
Predictions: This one is a bit tricky as several power users of the program have conducted their own simulations and posted them on the Eastside forums so it becomes a bit difficult to find the official predictions. EHM picks the Wings to win in 6 games over the Habs with Hasek winning the Conn Smythe. Noteworthy is also a Nick Lidstrom 4 goal first period outburst in game #1 of the finals (4 goals in first 12 minutes) with the Wings going on to a 9-1 victory...hmm...not so sure about that one!
Analysis: Despite the wonky Game #1 for Lidstrom EHM there is much to like about this prediction. The Habs are heavily favoured in the East and out West the Wings will have the easiest road to the finals, assuming at least one of the first round series is an upset.
History: Eastside is known for its accuracy when it comes to simulation. It is what they stake their entire product on. Last year they picked the Anaheim Ducks to win the cup in 6 games over the Buffalo Sabres. Not perfect, but they were one of the few people to be picking the Ducks.
My Results
With help from some fello fudge packers we updated rosters and season points and conducted our own stimulation with each If you know what I mean : )
EA Sports NHL 2008
Ducks repeat over the Habs in 5 games. Carey Price is dominant until the Finals and then for some strange reason seems unable to stop a thing. Low point for Price is allowing 5 goals in the first period of Game #2 after the Habs had take a 1-0 seris lead.
MVP: Ryan Getzlaff2.
NHL 2K8
Penguins win over the Flames in 7 games including a thrilling Game #7 OT. In fact 4 of the 7 games go into OT, with the Pens winning all 4. The three Flames victories came by margins of 2 and 3 goals.
Crosby is invisible, (except in my masturabatory fantasies that is)Malkin and Malone are all over(me I wish!) the place and in on pretty much every goal. Malone scores 3 of the 4 OT winners (including the cup winning goal) and assists on the fourth one which is scored by Malkin.
MVP: Ryan Malone
3. Eastside Hockey Manager
Penguins win over the Wings in 7 games. This is a see-saw battle starting with splits in both arenas. There is no shortage of scoring here with a total of 62 goals scored in the series including an 8-7 victory by the Wings in Game #6. Interestingly Game #7 is a 1-0 victory for the Pens off of a Gary Roberts goal late in the third period.
MVP: Sidney Crosby
4. Coin Flip
Ok, so maybe we had indulged ourselves into a few too many circle jerks to this point, but for some reason it seemed like a good idea at the time. We flipped a coin for each game of each matchup. We decided the team with Home Ice would be heads and the visitor would be tails...because Home and Head both started with 'H'. We used an official NHL Player Coin.
Colorado wins over the Rangers in 6.
MVP: This was tricky. We decided that we would only consider an MVP from the winning team. Sure it could go to a player on the losing side, but that is extremely rare in the real NHL. We then listed roster in alphabetical order and then roll a 20 sided die to pick the MVP. And the MVP is...Kurt Sauer. Hmmm...seems like a stretch!
So, there you have it. Like it or not it seems that for the most part there will not be a Cinderella story this year. Seems like the simulators like the favourites...and who can blame them!

Gay Playoff predictions 2008
Well, it is finally that time! Time for all of us fags that think we are hockey experts to prove how random the game can be and make our predictions for the 2008 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
And without further adieu...
The Western Conference
Detroit (1) vs. Nashville (8) -
Despite the regular season being a virtual saw off the Wings are just too much for the Preds to handle. While the Wings have question marks between the pipes they have more then their share of depth throughout the roster. Wings in 6.
San Jose (2) vs. Calgary (7) - This is the series that intrigues me the most in the West. At first glance it should be a no brainer win for the Sharks. They have been unstoppable since the trade deadline. However the Flames did take 3 of 4 from them in the regular season, and are a team that was built for playoff success, not necessarily regular season banners. This one will go down to the wire. Kipper, Iggy and Phaneuf will prove too much for the Sharks. Flames in 7.
Minnesota (3) vs. Colorado (6) - A showdown of two NW Division rivals. As the season was winding down it seemed like everyone wanted to matchup against the Wild rather than face the Sharks or Ducks. I don't think the Wild will be the pushovers that many teams think. They will be deadly with the lead, and have the weapons to come back in a game. I think the Avs have all the tools to overcome the Wild. Look for Jose Theodore to re-emerge as a top goalie, if even for just a short time as the Avs take the series. Avs in 6.
Anaheim (4) vs. Dallas (5) - A tale of two teams heading in different directions. The Ducks started the season slow before hitting high gear. The Stars started the season off like world beaters before spiraling downward. The Stars don't seem to have anything to break this spiral. Brad Richards has been a bust thus far, and there is nothing to indicate he will be any kind of [Photo]difference maker in the playoffs. Ducks in 5.
The Eastern ConferenceMontreal (1) vs. Boston (8) - What is there to say about this matchup? The top team in the East vs. the worst playoff team in the East...but don't overlook the Bruins they were only 10 points behind the Habs. Ok, enough flattery for the Bruins. The Habs will win this one easily. Tempted to predict a sweep, but thing the Bruins will find something. Habs in 5.
Pittsburgh (2) vs. Ottawa (7) - The Pens go from having a shot at first in the east to facing one of the biggest question mark teams of this year's playoffs. On paper the Sens are far better then their 7th seed would indicate. I would be worried if the Sens had shown anything down the stretch, but they have the worst record of any of the playoff teams in 2008. This one has sweep written all over it. Pens in a cakewalk in 4.
Washington (3) vs. Philadelphia (6) - Interesting that a team that barely made the playoffs gets the third seed. An interesting quirk in the playoff format has the Caps with home ice advantage despite finishing with fewer points then the Flyers. Neither one of these teams really excites me in terms of having a long playoff run, but I think it is hard to bet on a team with a player like Ovechkin. Caps in 6.
New Jersey (4) vs. New York Rangers (5) - This series is a tough one to call. The Rangers clearly have the better team, but one can never count out a Martin Brodeur team. Sure his best years are behind him, but he still possesses that game changing ability. In the end however, I just don't think he can do that enough times to pull the Devils past the Rangers. It will be a close series, but take the Rangers in 7.
Final Prediction...Sure there is plenty of hockey left to go, and I reserve the right to change my opinion...but I pick the Pens to hoist Lord Stanley with Evgeni Malkin the Playoff MVP! I know, not exactly going out on too large of a limb, but with the many people picking the Habs or the Rangers it isn't exactly the common pick either.
There you have it. Now let 's go have some anal sex!!
