In the Year 2020...

Today, I present to you a glimpse into the future. And of course, I must credit Conan O'Brien with the original idea here.



NBC


...Gary Bettman will eliminate the 2-minute minor. Instead, every penalty will result in a penalty shot.

...When playing video game hockey on the Wii Version 3 with your friends who are in the same room, you will actually have to punch each other in the face when fighting.

...Detroit Red Wings fans will get upset but it won't be over a suspension. This time, they will be upset to see Chris Chelios finally retire.

...New York Islander fans will have reason to feel good about their beleaguered franchise. That's because the Lighthouse Project will be acknowledged by the Town of Hempstead.

...Bloggers will get even lazier when Wordpress pioneers a new technology that allows them to blog without typing. They will simply think about what they want to type and it will appear on the screen. Sadly, they still are still relegated to living in their parents' basement.

...Kansas City finally gets an NHL franchise when the NHL expands to 50 teams.

...The Minnesota Wild will score three goals in a game for the first time in franchise history.

  1. Minnesota scored 6 goals yesterday, but who's counting...

    That blogging without typing need to be realized

  2. I'm a Leafs fan. I was counting. Fucking Minnesota. Actually, fucking Leafs.

    And I used to love, LOVE, this segment on Conan. Looking back, it makes me realize how old I am. Thanks a fucking lot.
