The Iowa Chops Strike Again

Another day, another Swine Flu outbreak. This time affecting my fantasy team, and of course, that makes it personal. Of course, this means another offensive talent for the B's goes down, so I'm sure they're just absolutely thrilled about it too.

David Krecji is the latest to come down with the over-hyped media sensation known as Swine Flu. The last topic more hyped than Swine Flu in this league was Viktor Stalberg.

So far, we've had Caps forward Quintin Laing, Colorado goalie Peter Budaj, Oilers D-man Ladislav Smid, and whereever the hell he's playing nowadays forward Doug Weight have all had it before. So Krecji makes number 5. 5 of 688 NHL players have contracted it?!? AHHHHHHHHHHHH PANDEMIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My theory? Well this is what we call a good old fashioned haunting. Who? The Iowa Chops of course. The poor bastards played a single season in the AHL, before being wiped out by the Board of Governors. Apparently the owner used the team as collateral in some sort of transaction, now that's a no no.

Anyways, the NHL will forever be haunted by ghost of Chops past. Don't front with the Pork Bellies, but by all means, oogle the Baby Backs. Too much...too much.
