And that, my friends, is the end of Dion Phaneuf’s storied career in the National Hockey League. A promising start in Calgary. A disappointing disaster in Toronto. And now, a dead man in Ottawa after James van Riemsdyk ethered him to shreds via Instagram [dot] com. Just a terrible way to go out. Getting chirped to death by the pigeon himself.

It’s long been common knowledge that Dion Phaneuf is a trainwreck in his own zone. Nobody has cornered the market of wandering around aimlessly in front of their own net better than Dion has. Difficult task to be an effective defenseman in the NHL if you can’t prevent goals from happening in your own zone and then when you attempt to breakout, you just spaz out and chuck the puck down the ice to nobody. In the art of chirping, it’s the digs that are true that hurt the most. Dion is gonna need plenty of ice baths after this one.

P.S. – Camo Oakley’s? You’re trying to hard.

Obligatory Elisha Cuthbert session.
