It is no secret among the NHL and its fans that the Avs
blew a big lead in their opener to the Wild. With games like that comes remarks
and beaking from the opposition fan base, but after Colorado’s 5-4 loss to the Wild,
someone took it up another notch in sticking it to the Avs.
This screenshot was taken from an actual eBay listing
that surfaced yesterday, found here, poking fun at Semyon Varlamov for his god awful 3rd
period. Some funny/painful details: Item condition: Used/Washed up. The entire
item description is a stick tap to the Avs 3rd period. The fact that it is $1000 speaks to how strongly this hockey fan feels about the situation. Add over $160 for shipping international (don't worry fellow Americans, it's free within the US) and you have yourself an expensive piece of prop comedy that could outdo a sports themed version of Carrot Top.
Upon further
review of the listing, this satirical listing shouldn’t necessarily be
attributed to the horrible Wild fans we all know and love, but instead to
someone from Colorado, as the seller has serious listings for Denver Broncos
swag. Knockoff counterfeit swag, but swag none the less.
So if this was an Avs fan, then this may be a comical
way to blow off steam in regards to the pathetic home opener. And it if it a
Wild fan, they are all awful and don’t have anything to show for in terms of
actual overall NHL success. But either way, it’s pretty funny stuff.
Update: Somebody actually bid on this, and we're hoping it is just a friend of the eBay user to add to the joke. If someone is paying $1000 for this, then everyone reading this is on the wrong business.
