One of the best Minnesota Grey Duck traditions for the past few years has undoubtedly been the repeated pinging of (former) GM @Painted. Well, even though this will be Painted's first post-Duck season, that does not get him off the hook. We always ask the rookies to lead the charge so that we can see who will go along with the meme. Usually, the more a rookie pings Painted, the more we like him. It's the prudish ones that you have to watch out for. They're the ones who are going to refuse to ping the most annoyingly helpful GM in history. We only like the rookies who play along and know the value of a well-crafted and clever joke. For instance, last year our best rookie users pinged Painted a combined total of 147 times. That's the highest record of Painted pings since S33. We're very hopeful that we can break that record this season. We have a couple of great new users that have already made their presence felt in the locker room.
