Puck Daddy - NHL

Putting a lid on our week of arena men's room coverage, we received the image above from Puck Daddy reader Brosecki, who attended the Anaheim Ducks/Los Angeles Kings game at Staples Center last night. From his e-mail, details about some more "high-brow bathroom humor":

"If imitation is in fact the highest form of flattery, then the guy who inspired 'How hockey literally goes into the toilet in Washington' and 'When it comes to urinal photos, Danny Briere takes the cake' is blushing.

"Upon entering the men's room between periods last night at the Kings-Ducks game (to the ad wizards: 'Freeway Face off') in the Staples Center, I noticed several urinals were open, yet one in particular had a sizeable line. Having to vacate the bladder posthaste, I didn't question it and made a beeline to an unoccupied basin.  I couldn't make it out clearly until mid-stream, but I was pissing on J.S. Giguere. Turns out the long line was for the one that hosted Pronger."

The aforementioned Chris Pronger card in the urinal can be seen here. The gum is a nice touch.

While the anonymous fan who game the world "Danny Peeiere" and the Crosby "I'm Thirsty" urinal photos is certainly an innovator, Puck Daddy reader Brian S. pointed out in the comments of our initial story that these soggy insults of Anaheim players are somewhat of a tradition in Los Angeles (unless, by chance, it's the same guy):

"I think someone did this at Staples earlier this season with some cards of Ducks players, because I remember some Anaheim announcer (Severyn) babbling about it later on. At least they had a good sense of humor about it on-air."

Nonetheless, thanks to Brosecki for the photos, which have allowed us to better get a handle on the issue and streamline our coverage. Even if it is still a bit of yellow journalism on our part ...

    I think it is so cute that LA fans go and buy our hockey cards. How endearing! Too bad they don't have a Stnaley Cup. Poor kids have to go twiddle their thumbs some more and watch three Ducks start in the All Star Game. I feel bad for them. Not that bad though.

    I like how you say "our," like you are part of the team.

    Whoever the Kings fan was that put the cards in the urinals didn't necessarily go out and purchase individual sucks cards, they come in the pack with other cards for players of other teams. Good way to get rid of the sucks cards.

    I just think it's funny that he believes you buy cards individually of Ducks players. Usually you buy a pack of like 8 cards. Sometimes you get players that you don't like.

    I think it cute that your Angels are embarrassed to be from Anaheim and pretend to be from LA.

    Is this an example of the actions of "men" who go to the Staples Center? Truely sad, indeed. 5th Grade humor.

    Great article, I only take issue with one thing: Since when do men suffer from PMS?
    "Upon entering the men's room between periods last night."
    Yikes, that must have been rough.

    I was thinking of getting a Ducks #25 jersey-but put THUG 4 LIFE on the name plate. Maybe a E where the captain C would go, for Elbow!

    Yeah, you Queens fans know it all. Bet that's from swirling around the bowls like the turds you are. And by the way @sshats, you sure had the epitomy of a straight up player in Avery. You all loved the Turtle then, and probably still miss him, you both exhibit the same infantile tendencies.
    By the way, I'd take one Pronger to 4 of that jackhole Avery.
    Now go back to dodging bullets from the incessant LA drive-by shootings and STFU.

    Your team is named after a Disney kids movie. That's why no one likes you...and Chris Pronger kisses his dad on the mouth.

    Wow, its just freakin humor that exists everywhere. All this smack talk of "Queen" fans and such is all 5th grade attitude. I remember when the Ducks were in the Cup finals and they interviewed an old lady from Ottowa asking her if she knew where Anaheim was....she said "what?". C'mon Ducks fans, you won the cup and no one outside of Anaheim cares. Get out of town for a change

    I, was also at yesterdays game. I couldn't help but laugh at all of the Queen's "championship" banners hanging up there next to the Lakers World Championship banners. Let's see the Queens have 2 conference championships since 1967.
    The Duck's have 1 Stanley Cup and 1 conference championship since 1993-1994.
    Hey Queens fans, The Ducks have the Cup and Queens fans only have wet dreams.
    Looks like another year of no playoff apperances for you gals.

    If I had a team that threw cheap shots all day I would win the stanley cup myself. Proger (cheap shot), May (cheap shot), Getzlaf (cheap shot), Marchant (cheap shot), Perry (cheap shot), the list goes on. I can get videos of how the ducks won the cup by throwing elbows at heads and punching guys when they weren't looking. That's why the sharks picked up Claude Lemiuex. Anaheim fans are just mad that the Angels and Clippers left there sorry town.
