Grade Brent Sopel's season! (Plus: Bonus nightmare fuel)

by mjthor on Jun 15, 2009 4:53 PM CDT Comment 15 comments

Our illustrious triforce of blog overlords, in their most heedless misstep to date, have denied us, their valued and loyal readers and commenters, the right to grade Brent Sopel's season. Because the masses (okay, so it's just one guy who humorously wanted to grade Sopel's season) are protesting this injustice like an angry mob of Iranians -- too soon? -- I will provide that opportunity here. Please, in the effort of making this poll as accurate and informative as possible, leave a comment explaining your choice for his grade. And by all means, make as many Aaron Johnson dick jokes as possible.

And for your nightmare fuel, here's a ~~photoshop~~ police file photo of what the son of Brent Sopel and Chris Pronger ~~would look~~ looks like (borrowed from Sens Army Blog):

Grade Brent Sopel's season:

"F"

F-

Where are the 'A' and 'B' options? And why is "F" in quotations?

5 votes

He was injured for the limited amount of games in which he played, therefore I will reserve judgment on his performance.

Nickelback

Given that the most camera time he received all year

for not fucking up was when he was partying in the skybox with Nickelback, I don’t see how one could vote for anything but that.

Nickelback all the way. Congrats on earning your keep, Sopes.

Even though

He was a solid guy in our own end (heh) a year ago, he looked 45 steps slow in the preseason. I remember watching a preseason game against the Wild and wondering “what the fuck happened to this guy? It’s like he aged 15 years in the off season”.

I tried to tell Sam

that we should review them separately but he was hell bent on reviewing Johnson and Sopel together.

Ever since Puck Daddy asked him to write the eulogy he’s been all high and mighty – he won’t return the phone calls from me and McClure. Straight to his head…

I wasn't watching then

So I can’t really comment except LOL.

Oh, and Aaron Johnson’s dick (size unknown) has more talent than Sopel has in his entire body.

If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning

Wow. So you and Johnson…?

I didn't say

Size not provided, I said size unknown.

If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning

There you go,

Johnson’s johnson snaked the talent out of Sopel, that’s why Sam had to review them together.
Q was probably afraid it might attack Wiggum next.

SHOOOOOOOT IT!!!! Anon

Judgement Reserved

This guy is a straight up god in NHL 09, so I have him some respect. He was hurt most of the year, so I dont see why I should punish the man until he shows me a full season of suck

its a joke

calm down, haha. I do not base my feeling on players because of a video game, it was a joke He was a healthy scratch, most of the time, but I am still not going to hate on him until it is proven that he lost all of his hockey ability

"F"

Until he grows the planet’s slimiest 3 foot mullet back so I can resurrect the nickname “Swampthing” I have no respect. Injured or healthy, no respect. Get growing Sopel. You gots ta earn it!
