Waste Your Weekend is a weekly feature on PITB that takes a look at the hockey blogosphere and beyond and asks the vital question: who’s winning?

Every weekend, we tally the scores and link you to the posts and articles that we found interesting, hilarious, absurd, or just plain weird. In other words, we liked them, and since you like us, we imagine that you will like what we like. And what we like wins. Since you clearly have nothing better to do with your weekend, here is the official PITB Waste Your Weekend Box Score.

    That is an incredibly insightful article by Landsberg. I hate reading all these comments about how selfish suicide is — this article puts the case forward in better words than I have read in a long time. I never liked watching his show, but now I will tune in with most definitely a different perspective.
