I Only Laughed Until I Realized It Wasn’t A Joke

Published by SL under Humorous, NHL News Edit This

 So I’m just cruising through the usual Saturday blog headlines, and I come across this beauty from Puck Daddy:
“Flyers’ draft pick charged with killing referee and burying body”.

Needless to say, I started laughing my ass off thinking it was going to one hell of a satirical send-up to the Flyers’ fading playoff hopes (Pittsburgh is going to bag-beat those jerks).  Man, was I wrong.  It’s true, and bizarre.  The draft pick at the centre of this… bloody mess?, is Ladislav Skurco and the following is an excerpt from the post at Puck Daddy:

The Philadelphia Flyers sixth-round pick in 2004 has been charged with murder after being accused of stabbing referee Marek Liptag 14 times back in January 2008 over a monetary dispute. Liptag’s remains weren’t found until this past December in Slovakian forest.”

I mean, we’re all familiar with the “Broad Street Bullies” shtick, but isn’t this taking things just a little bit too far?
