Okay. Yeah, we all knew what “Uncle Daddy” meant.

I’ll save Paul the effort: Refrain from personal attacks. You are embarrassing yourself. Perhaps you don’t care, but some people would like the discourse here to remain above that expected of a 3rd grader.
I can’t wait until the blocking feature shows up. The value of this site will increase dramatically when I can count on the comment sections not including such drivel.

Garth’s cool with me. That’s all you need to know.

What goalie has the least shoot out losses?

I still don’t know what Uncle Daddy is refering to.

Your instincts were dead on with your first comment.
That said, I’m actually able to translate from EvilPen to English on this one, though: Uncle Daddy = Marty. Marty left his wife and kids for her brother’s wife. So in a sense, he’s the uncle to his own kids.

Wow, classy.
I so need to brush up on my NHL gossip…

Marty left his wife and kids for her brother’s wife
Seriously? Where is the ridicule?

I thought it was his wife’s sister. EP isn’t the only one to call him that. It’s pretty common.

What, you think the Avery Brodeur feud was over creative goaltender screening?

Avery kept chirping him about this subject for at least five years.
