(back story) In 2007-2008 Marian Hossa started the NHL season with the Atlanta Thrashers and was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins near the trade deadline. The Penguins made it to the Stanley Cup final due to the trade, the Penguins failed to gain a victory over the 2007-2008 Stanley Cup Champion Detroit Red Wings.

For the 2008-2009 NHL Hockey season Hossa decided to pass up a $50 million contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins to sign for a $7.5 million one year contract with the Detroit Red Wings.

Final Result: The Pittsburgh Penguins, Detroit Red Wings, and Marian Hossa all ended up in the Stanley Cup Finals in a rematch, but Hossa was on the other side. The Penguins won and Hossa LOST AGAIN!!!!

RATIONALE: THIS IS THE ONLY ACT IN ALL OF PROFESSIONAL SPORTS THAT IS MORE THAN AN EPIC FAIL. HE LEFT THE WINNING TEAM, THAT OFFERED HIM MORE MONEY!!!!

Being led on to believe a girl/boy is interested in dating you, but in fact they just don't want to hurt your feelings and say no. During this often month-plus long process, you will find yourself missing out on many other girls who you were interested in. Could be described as a prolonged tease. Derived from the Marian Hossa crisis of the 2008-2009 NHL offseason, in which Marian Hossa forced the Pittsburgh Penguins Hockey Club to wait for an answer as to who he would sign with during the free agency period. Much to the contrary of popular speculation, Hossa signed with the Detroit Red Wings.

When a person makes an absolutely outlandish decision, and after some time, that decision comes back to haunt them even more.

A cool country who kicks ass in hockey.

The worst team in NHL history. The youngest person on the team is the coach. Often called on as a person's favorite team due to them doing well. Also known as a bandwagoner.
