I still think this kind of thing is pretty inappropriate. Maybe just the headline was funny, but once you started associating bobble heads with female pleasure toys it got out of line.
- huge splash in the free agent market (not really) - marque defenseman Dick "the Stick" Tarnstrom (ummm...) - huge 4-year, $5.8 million deal (aren't some guys get $7M+ per season) - solidifies the Ducks defense as one of the best in the BRHL (not quite) - nearly makes the team a lock to win this year's BRHL championship (lol)
Enough said...

So, you're having a Dick Tarnstrom Bobble Head night, or a "Dick-head" night for short?
The Penguins have those a few times a year, whenever we play the Leafs and their fans make the drive down.
The leafs fans really got into the spirit of "dick-head" night last season, I watched at least half a dozen pulled out in handcuffs.
