No, really, guess who?
Yeah. Lake Erie dropped their inaugural game tonight against the Grand Rapids Griffins, with Jose Theodore in goal (on a rehab start). And from the background, in front of a crowd of about 150.
You know this is just going to end in tears.
“No, really, happy to be here, Bob.”
OK, stop right here.
That is the freaking mascot? Seriously? This is so damn stupid. Your team is named the Lake Erie Monsters, and you have a monster poking it’s head out of a lake. And for a mascot you get a chicken crossed with a buzzard WEARING A HAT?!?!?!?! Someone should be fired.
In fact, here should be your new mascot.
You see, that’s just plain rude, and I didn’t really mean it. Seriously, the man is a decent fellow, I’m sure. The joke was hanging right out there, and you have to take it. Where Jose goes, Pierre will follow.
In the interest of full disclosure, I have to tell you that I did apply for a job with the Lake Erie Monsters (although it was kind of lazy, or very lazy). It was for the voice of the Monsters (I got me some pipes). But after seeing this…
I’m glad it didn’t work out. I guess they had to do something with the old style third jerseys.
So, that wraps it up from the Lake Erie Monsters inaugural game. The score sheet is here.

I think that mascot is a bird trying to be a monster. Couldn’t they just go with an actual monster? Inexplicably, our school’s mascot is some sort of eagle even though “Marauders” are actually thieves/warrior-types. Actually, our hockey jerseys look quite a bit like the old Avs third jerseys with the name across the front, same colours too.
apparently none of you have been around Lake Erie the reason that the mascot is a seagul is because of all the seaguls by Eake Erie. besides do you know how hard it would be to make that logo into a mascot.
