Amusing Story:
Ilya made some funny claims during the 2007 USCL Season. First, he claimed my song about Chris Williams "Chris is Awesome", was responsible for Chris losing a game because Chris "Got Cocky". Later, he claimed he was responsbile for Jorge winning his game against Pascal Charbonneau. This was because he showed Jorge the BCC blog before the game where everyone thinks "NY is the Greatest Team on the Planet". This supposedly got Jorge fired up for the game and made him win.
Reason for this song choice:
Ilya is always complaining about one thing or another, so I figured this song was fitting.
