Ok, Fly's back after a weeks vacation, I gave yinz a breather for a week, but I'm comin back with a vengence baby. First off, who in the world does Tricky Dicky Butler think he is??? Easy old-timer... Second, here's the reasoning behind the DirtyDogs "tatics". Basically its the 'we have little skill so we're gonna clutch and grab' strategy that various NHL teams have used, i.e. expansion teams, New Jersey Devils (hey what kinda jerseys do the 'dogs have again), and the old Florida Panthers have used. They may get the win, but it ain't pretty, and no matter what they say, it ain't clean either. Pittsburgh's motto- "we put the dirty in DirtyDogs". Catch the lack of action this Saturday at the gorgeous, -no way rain, sleet, snow, or any other weather phenonmenon can disrupt our games- Neville Island Complex.

(Thank you lord for indoor facilities). ...

Are you as excited as I am about the Ron Mangone - Shawn Scheffer feud??? ...

The DirtyDogs should be kissing the ground Frankie Vargo walks on. They should be carrying him to their games on a giant bed-like stretcher with Mike Smith feeding him grapes, and Josh Burello, and Mike Morrone gently fanning him with a giant feather. Instead they continue to incur Vargo's wrath. What would life be like for them without Dr. Zhivargo keeping them in games... lets just say da Fly hopes they held onto the receipts for their jerseys cuz their honeymoon season would've been over fast...(did somebody say Assasins???) ...

Alright kids, da Fly likes his articles like he likes his woman, short and sweet... look for Superfly every Monday in the critically aclaimed web site www.slapsh0t.com, you know you love it.
