Eastern Conference Final Game 2
May 11, 2008 by Schnookie
With today being Mother’s Day, we’re a bit too wrapped up in Boomerish celebrations to write a full game diary for tonight’s game.
We’d write something schmoopy here about how awesome Boomer is, but we already did that for last Father’s Day. Instead, we’ll just say Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there, and in the meantime, let’s all enjoy an open thread and, we hope, some fantastic hockey!
I have this week off, so I’m totally free to hop in the car and help you eat that cake. I’ll be there tomorrow. Happy Mother’s Day, Boomer!
This cake is so freakin’ good. There… might not be any left tomorrow. Heh.
Yeah, Boomer thanks you for the thought, Katebits, but she says, “By tomorrow she might be too late.” :P
Yay! I’m so in the mood for this game! WOOOOOO!!!
I bet the reason why the Flyers didn’t have Hatcher practice yesterday was because they were hoping if they pretended he wasn’t on the team, he wouldn’t be anymore.
When are hockey teams going to realize that it’s in their best interest to require their high-priced investments wear visors?!
Okay VS, this is in HD. We DON’T need to zoom in on Sid’s facial hair.
Ookies, looks like you did your mom proud! That cake is beautiful and sounds even yummier! I hope Boomer had a great Boomer Day!
Sid’s facial hair completely transforms him from a sweet natured, agreeable goodie two shoes, to…something less savory. It’s a remarkable playoff beard.
Dang! That was a feisty fight! I’m used to watching Andrew Peters.
That cake looks yummy! Happy Mothers Day to Boomer and all of the other mothers out there.
I’m shocked that we just had a fight in a playoff game.
The only really good fights are the ones with the little guys.
Hey, it’s great to see that these two teams are able to throw things like “It’s the Eastern Conference Final” aside in favor of acting like a bunch of knuckle-dragging goons. I really, honestly LOVE the Penguins/Flyers rivalry.
And thanks, Myra! I think Boomer was very happy with her day!
Boomer says, “Thanks, Amy!”
Katebits, you’re so right about Sid’s facial hair. It makes me squeamish. It’s like the embodiment of how upset I am that Sid is no longer the best play on his team. I’m going to write a novella about Sid being overtaken by Malkin in a Southern Gothic style and the entire conflict and lurking evil will be symbolized by Sid’s terrible facial hair.
Myra, I think Boomer was having a great Boomer day until she broke out the Nintendo DS and BrainAge that we gave her. The baseline test is a Rock-Scissor-Paper game, which Boomer claims she never learned as a child. So after the baseline test the computer told her her “brain age” was 80! :D
Well, you know how I feel about Malkin (*singsong voice* looove him), but I think not being the best player on his team might actually be good for Sid in the long run! Maybe it will transform him into a real boy!
So after the baseline test the computer told her her “brain age” was 80! :D
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::(sorry Boomer)
Maybe it will transform him into a real boy!
I don’t want Sid to be a real boy! *Pouts*
I realized that my Southern Gothic novella synopsis makes it sound like I don’t like Malkin (I believe the words “lurking evil” were used) but I, too, love Malkin (not, obviously, as much as you). I can’t, however, handle Sid not being the Hart Trophy, best player ever anywhere, that he was last year. I just want to get a time machine and go back to last season’s game Pittsburgh against Phoenix, after which I’d encase Sid in amber and save him like that for ever and ever.
I don’t want Sid to be a real boy! *Pouts*
That’s a very good point. Maybe Sid not being the best player on his team will magically stop his aging process and he will never ever grow up! Sid’s age can only advance when he is the best player in the world!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
After reading that very lovely story about Mike Knuble and his mother, I don’t think she would be appreciative of that cross check he gave Staal.
I think that goal was Sid’s way of saying that he wants me to encase him in amber for ever and ever!
I think that goal was Sid’s way of saying that he wants me to encase him in amber for ever and ever!
Totally! He wants to live in amber for you, Pookie!
Sid TOTALLY wants to be encased in amber, just the way he is now. I’d be all, “Can you at least shave first?” but he’d insist he be encased as is.
I think the only way to know when Briere’s on the ice is to pay very close attention to whether Beninati has mentioned him. Just as an aside.
I mention that about Briere, because, as Beninati says he’s on the ice now, I’m all, “Who?”
Briere is playing like he’s still a Sabre, and this is last year’s ECF.
Sid is being super ferocious tonight. It’s like he’s begging to be encased in amber.
Oooooohhh… BURN! That’s the meanest thing anyone’s ever said about Briere, Katebits!
Sid is being super ferocious tonight. It’s like he’s begging to be encased in amber.
I KNOW! That little thing where he wheeled around behind Biron’s net while doing his crazy magic scooter edges thing (uh, you all know what I’m talking about, right?) — that was hott. That was “encasable in amber” hott. John Madden once tried to do the magic scooter thing while cutting across a goal mouth in a Devils game once this past year and it was TERRIFYINGLY awful. Pens fans should have to watch footage of it every few months, just so they never take Sid’s skating for granted.
I’m going to find the hottest, most awesomest amber to encase Sid in. Only the best for him!
Aw rats. Then they show us his mustache again. Oh, Sid. You poor, poor thing.
I KNOW! That little thing where he wheeled around behind Biron’s net while doing his crazy magic scooter edges thing (uh, you all know what I’m talking about, right?)
I know exactly what you’re talking about! That move was SCREAMING, “Encase me in amber! Freeze me in time!”
Briere is playing like he’s still a Sabre, and this is last year’s ECF.
Ouch.
Since Sid’s mom is at the game, how long until we have an interview with her?
And that puck is in the net.
Sid is all like, “FUCK MALKIN” tonight! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
That was a total goal!
You know what’s a gift that keeps on giving? Derian Hatcher being on the Flyers roster. Heh heh heh.
Zubrus scored a goal like that against Tim Thomas this year, and it was just as clear/unclear. The call went against NJ. So… this will be called a goal. Heh.
I would say this is totally a goal, but that wouldn’t be a goal if a Devil had scored it.
There is no way that’s not totally over the line.
Sid just looked sad, like he’s concerned we won’t want to encase him in amber if this doesn’t count. Don’t worry, Sid! We still do want to!
I feel that in the one angle it is incredibly clearly a goal. (I’m watching CBC.)
Kate, Mark was saying in Game One that Danny disappeared in the ECF both years we were in.
I missed it. Was the call on ice goal or no goal?
There was no call on the ice, Heather.
With the NJ non-goal, the puck had to have gone it, because there was nowhere else for it to be, and Tim Thomas (who had the best view) reacted as if it was a goal. The video evidence, however, didn’t show the whole goal because the crossbar was in the way. Biron’s glove is obscuring it just as much as the crossbar did. So if they call this a goal, it’s because they’re saying, “In context, this must be a goal even though there is not indisputable evidence saying it is.” Which is NOT how the War Room called it earlier. Just… you know, just sayin’.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! This is an OUTRAGE!
That’s bogus. Common sense says the puck was in.
That’s bullshit.
I thought that shot from inside the net pretty clearly showed the puck over the line. Whatevs!
As an embittered Devils fan, I say good call. As much as I want Sid to have 2 goals tonight, I don’t want to get even more mixed messages from the NHL than I already do when it comes to video review. (I do think that was a goal, but so was Zubrus’s.)
I have no real beef with that call. The overhead, which was a more “straight-on” angle of the goal line than the one inside the net to Biron’s left, didn’t show the puck all the way over the line. I bet if the officials had called it a goal on the ice, though, it would have stood.
Wow. Sid is being really awesome tonight.
Sid’s all pissy-like! I LOVE IT!
Sid clearly doesn’t like him being the second best player on his team any more than I do!
Yeah, I don’t think any of the angles were conclusive but common sense says if the puck was on the line and then kept rolling, it had to go over. (And I know it’s all about what you can see and not common sense but still. I just have to complain.)
I thought that was a goal, too. You couldn’t see the ice between the puck and the line, but you could see the puck and the line and see that mathematically, it could not be touching the line. Are they saying there’s no way to tell if the puck became a different shape and size, somehow making it possible to be that far from the line and still touching it? Huh? Is that what they’re saying??
Sid’s facial hair is at least filling in. You don’t think he’s shaving it into that chinstrap look do you?
He seems a lot bigger than I usually think he looks.
I keep wanting to say, “I should go by common sense and not video” but I know that’s just asking for trouble. It does sting though when the team you want to win gets on the wrong end of it.
Patty, :^::::::::::::::::: Maybe they are trying to say that the puck ripped a hole in the space time continuum. It’s the only logical explanation.
And I know it’s all about what you can see and not common sense but still.
There’s no common sense in hockey!
And there’s no suspension for Ribero and Osgood, but there are fines, according to CBC.
I like that Osgood just took the Brad Ausmus “I don’t remember calling her a bitch, but if I did, I guess she deserved it!” defense. Well played, Ozzie!
See Osgood fall, then try to look over his knees to see if somebody’s coming to help him? Guh. That was embarrassing.
Ok, sorry to backtrack but we stepped away to eat dinner and are now catching up.
So after the baseline test the computer told her her “brain age” was 80! :D
Hubbie & Kid have been talking about getting Brainage for me. Hubbie’s response to your comment was, “Guess we won’t be getting that for Myra after all.” Thanks for that vote of confidence, Babe.
And I have a soft spot for guys who can’t grow facial hair, so I love Sid’s sweet little attempt. :P
And there’s no suspension for Ribero and Osgood, but there are fines, according to CBC.
Woooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
Hubbie said as part of their fines they should have to wear signs saying for Osgood:
“I AM A CHEAPSHOT DIVER”
and for Ribeiro:
“I AM AN IDIOT”
Oh, good I’m glad Osgood is getting something too. I was afraid it was all going to come down on Ribeiro. Osgood deserves something just for that horribly dramatic reaction to a hit he probably barely felt.
Hubbie’s response to your comment was, “Guess we won’t be getting that for Myra after all.”
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
In Boomer’s defense, she was supposed to be picking winning and losing plays in Rock, Scissor, Paper, but she didn’t know how the various things ranked, nor did she know what the hand gestures were. I was saying she basically set her baseline artificially low so she’ll see instant and significant progress as she plays every day!
Hubbie’s response to your comment was, “Guess we won’t be getting that for Myra after all.” Thanks for that vote of confidence, Babe.
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
After having cocktails this afternoon, I remarked, “My bladder is the size of a pea now!” and Boomer responded, “Which is apparently bigger than my brain.” She’s insisting her baseline was so low because she doesn’t know the rules to Rock, Scissors, Paper. I think not knowing the rules to that makes you pretty much an 80-year-old.
Did the announcers say that the Flyers had 9 even-stength shots in the first? Or do they mean total in this series?
I think not knowing the rules to that makes you pretty much an 80-year-old.
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
BOOO! I had to talk to my mother 9we’ve been playing phone tag all day). Why is it tied?! I don’t want it to be tied! I want the wheels to stay off Biron! Whiiiiine!
The Pens were sitting back, waiting for you to get off the phone, Katebits.
She’s insisting her baseline was so low because she doesn’t know the rules to Rock, Scissors, Paper.
Do you have to talk for Rock, Paper, Scissors? If so, I totally couldn’t get my DS to understand me and came out as like, 60. It wasn’t until I started telling the game that I wasn’t in a place where I could talk, and it gave me an alternative game, that my age started going down.
You do have to talk for Rock, Paper. I didn’t realize the DS had voice recognition so I was like, “Why is Boomer sitting in the other room shouting, ‘Hand! Uh… Fist! How does this work? Paper?’ Does she have an 80-year-old brain or something?”
Ooooh. Talbot has a foxy beard!
I do love Max Talbot. I was so sad that Inside Penguins Hockey dulled itself down so it didn’t have as much zany Max Talbot as it used to.
Talbot had that hilarious Fu Manchu at the start of the season; the one he insisted was a “Mooostache”, not a “Mustache”. He’s adorable.
‘Hand! Uh… Fist! How does this work? Paper?’
Awwww, poor Boomer! It’s not your fault, you’re not that old, I’m sure!
I just giggled so loudly I woke up my parents’ dog. Time to go back to bed. Enjoy the game, everyone!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
I think not knowing the rules to that makes you pretty much an 80-year-old.
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Hee hee! We just noticed Briere twice — turning the puck over in his own zone!

My sister unearthed an early season Pens game from the DVR this morning and we had quite the laugh over his “mooostache”. Oh Mad Max. You’re so mad, and well, maxxie.
Talbot had that hilarious Fu Manchu at the start of the season; the one he insisted was a “Mooostache”, not a “Mustache”. He’s adorable.
I remember that, and I think I was just assuming he was sporting that look for the playoffs. I was pleasantly surprised to see he’s got a proud playoff beard.
I love that Sid’s face-off stand is like the even-more-badass version of Jeff Bagwell’s batting stance.
WOOOOOO!!!
That was nice. Hossa wanted me to see that before I went back to sleep. Nice try, Hossa! I’m not letting up on you!
We just noticed Briere twice — turning the puck over in his own zone!
Heehee! I noticed him too! Poor little hobbit!
Pookie, between Baggy’s batting stance and the Ausmus “bitch” thing, we’re really bringing the Astros references tonight, aren’t we?
Poor little hobbit!
I wouldn’t feel TOO sorry for him… Heh.
I love that Sid’s face-off stand is like the even-more-badass version of Jeff Bagwell’s batting stance.
No. I love Sid but you do not get more badass than Baggy’s batting stance.
Mark is in love with Max Talbot.
You’re right, Schnookie! I’m one “Killer B” reference away from bringing out my Larry Dieker Hawaiian shirt!
I wouldn’t feel TOO sorry for him… Heh.
Oh, I don’t. :D
Boomer just proclaimed around a mouthful of dinner, “I don’t think the Flyers are going to win any games in this series.” You heard it here first! :D
No. I love Sid but you do not get more badass than Baggy’s batting stance.
No, it’s so more badass. To be as badass as Sid, Baggy would have had to walk out to the batter’s box a full 45 seconds before he was supposed to and then just take his stance and stand there, perfectly still, waiting for the pitcher.
Poor lil hobbit took an elbow to the head.
Malkin, no elbowing the hobbit.
Malkin: I will elbow whomsoever I choose! Bwah-ha-ha-ha!
That cake looks scrumptious. Tell Boomer I say happy moms day!
Malkin: He’s just lucky I didn’t slewfoot him.
Boomer says thanks, Josh!
No, it’s so more badass.
It’s not more badass! It’s not, it’s not, IT’S NOT! :P
(Okay, I’m done.)
Malkin, you’re FIRED!
Hey, Josh! How’re things? I mentioned earlier today something like, “It’s so nice that it’s Summer now!” and Boomer was all, “It’s not Summer yet; it’s only mid-May.” I was like, “The Devils aren’t playing are they? It’s Summer.”
Schnookie, that SH goal was just for you!
Oh, geez. That was vintage 2007-2008 Sabres right there. On the PP, 25 seconds left, tying goal.
Happy Boomer Day! (Sorry I took so long!)
That shutup the Pens crowd!
God this series is causing such personal inner conflict. I really want Pittsburgh to lose, but it’s so hard to be happy when the Flyers score. Unless said Flyer is Jim Dowd, of course.
Heather, I’ll give you that Baggy was very, very badass. When I was in college, I hung a picture of Baggy and Biggio up on my door so that every day when I left for class I was reminded to have a badass kind of day.
Hey, Josh! How’re things? I mentioned earlier today something like, “It’s so nice that it’s Summer now!” and Boomer was all, “It’s not Summer yet; it’s only mid-May.” I was like, “The Devils aren’t playing are they? It’s Summer.”
Things are meh. My week vacation is over. =(
And you’re both right about summer. It makes me sad(der). =(
My boyfriend Beaker just shot that shortie RIGHT AT MY OVARIES.

This is not an easy one to watch, to be sure. Thanks to my playoff goggles, though, I’m in a nice balance of liking both teams equally (while disliking them equally, too, but I’m trying to focus on the positive). That said, I think I want to marry Mike Richards. While seeing an encased-in-amber Sid on the side.
Happy Boomer Day! (Sorry I took so long!)
Boomer says, “That’s quite alright.” You were held up by Bookworm, which is just the kind of thing she would have been doing! :D
That said, I think I want to marry Mike Richards. While seeing an encased-in-amber Sid on the side.
Yeah, but amber-encased Sid wouldn’t be very engaging. You’d be having a relationship with a glorified coffee table.
Yeah, but Amy, what a coffee table! :D
(I’m also not convinced a non-encased-in-amber Sid would be that much more engaging than an amber-free one.)
You’d be having a relationship with a glorified coffee table.

I don’t think Beaker would appreciate it being described as a shortie. :P
I don’t think Beaker would appreciate it being described as a shortie. :P
Heh heh. I might want to marry him, but he is a Flyer. I had to phrase that as disparagingly as possible.
Is Mike Richards the one the Flyers signed to a bazillion year contract this year?
Yes he is, Kate. He’s going to Schnookie’s Flyers boyfriend until her brain turns 80.
Is Mike Richards the one the Flyers signed to a bazillion year contract this year?
Yes he is, but I’m pretty sure he’s going to demand a trade to the Devils any minute now. Just like Sid is.
He’s going to Schnookie’s Flyers boyfriend until her brain turns 80.
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Hey, I haven’t set my Brainage baseline yet. My brain may very well be over 80 already!
That commercial for Speed Racer makes me think they’re using the term “live action” pretty loosely.
My boyfriend Beaker just shot that shortie RIGHT AT MY OVARIES.
Hehehehehe. That was very foxy.
Geno is a little pissy tonight. Awww Geno. I still love you, even when you’re sucking on your necklace during the anthem.
You guys, I can’t stop thinking about buying Matty on hockey reference. I think I might just have to. $40, but then I can write something about Swedish meatballs, or Hot Swede playground or something.
Awww… I’m all crying.
alix, just do it! Just do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!
Why are you crying, Patty?
Don’t cry, Patty! You’ll make Bouche sad.
Hee. I think you’re right, Heather. I should. Yeah it’s silly, and $40, but it would make me giggle all year.
Oh, just the sick kid thing. Saying to think positive and don’t let everybody tell you there’s nothing but negative in the world. I’m a pushover.
It’s a good thing you’re there to be a softie about the sick kids, Patty, because I’m like, “They’re doing a sick kid feature? Is there anything else on?” I’m terrible.
Give Ruutu another! He’s showing you up, ref!
alix, just think! One day Matty is going to start wondering who’s sponsoring him and he’ll look you up :P
Awwww. I kind of miss Roots. Heh.
Apparently BGL visited a dying kid right in the middle of a playoff run when he was still with Edmonton. I kind of love him.
Did y’all hear a Flyers blog kidnapped PensBlog Charlie?
Heather’s right, alix! He’ll go there to see his own stats and then be compelled to click on your link and once he sees The Humming Giraffe, he’ll be in love!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Heather, that’s totally going to happen! He’s all bored in the off season right now. I better get on that right away. :D
WOW, Max Talbot’s beard is MARVELOUS!
WOOOOO!!
Holy, SHIT he’s hot with that thing!
Maxie’s beard is aiming right at your ovaries, Katebits!
(What’s funnier than Hatcher and Downie costing the Flyers the go-ahead goal?)
Was that a PP goal? Im barely paying attention here. I’m been blinded by Max Talbot.
Hey, did anyone hear that Brenden Morrow and his wife, Anne-Marie had twins today.
Brady–5lb 13oz
Mallory–6lb
Just before 2 pm. Anne-Marie is a little thing, I can’t imagine her carrying 2 babies that size. Those Carbonneaus are made of pretty tough stuff! I had not heard anything about them even expecting. Have I been living in a hole?
I just thinking the other day that no one seems to name their kids Mallory anymore! How odd!
Mallory Keaton!
Was that a PP goal? Im barely paying attention here. I’m been blinded by Max Talbot.
Nope, that was an even-strength goal.
Wow, are they paying Briere $8 million a year for that breakout? That was awesome.
I was thinking more about the Mallory from “The Babysitting Club”, actually…
I forgot about that BSC Mallory! Mallory will always be a Keaton to me. :D
Okay, is Darren Eliot saying, “I can’t explain why Prospal’s been so invisible” supposed to be unintentional comedy?
Go, clock! GO!
Yeah, BSC Mallory was a loser :P
BSC Mallory really was a loser. Although she was still better than Mary Ann.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Mary Ann was a loser too. I did like that Mallory was the writer but that’s it. I was all about Kristy.
Mary Ann was a dullard. Not like sweet, sweet Amber Sid. He’s never dull.
Heather’s right, alix! He’ll go there to see his own stats and then be compelled to click on your link and once he sees The Humming Giraffe, he’ll be in love!
Hee! This is totally going to happen, Patty!
alix, Matty will email you and say, “Hey, just out of curiosity, how do you feel about cabs?”
The amber casing actually makes Sid a bit dullardly, but nothing too awful.
Kristy was the most approachable one. Claudia and Stacy taught me at an early age that I would never be as cool as them.
The amber casing actually makes Sid a bit dullardly, but nothing too awful.
No, no, I’ll have the amber polished to a high sheen.
Ooooh, Claudia and Stacy were SO much cooler than me. I kid of felt bad hanging out with them, like I was dragging them down. I liked Dawn a lot, though. She was so sunshiney. Just like me. :P
You guys are cracking me uo! These names are ringing far away distant bells in my head, but I would never have been able to recall them!
Matty’s been ordered! Heh.
alix, Matty will email you and say, “Hey, just out of curiosity, how do you feel about cabs?”
HA HA HA! And then I’ll write back, “Is Rufus coming?” And Matty will be all, “Huh?” “Is that your pet name for me?”
I, um, read the BSC books WELL into high school. Heh heh. I was so cool.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! The “On The Fly” guys just suggested Stevens bench Briere!
Ooh! I always forget to switch to NHL Network!
And then I’ll write back, “Is Rufus coming?” And Matty will be all, “Huh?”
If Matty doesn’t know who Rufus is, he doesn’t deserve you, alix!
I’m sorry, is there seriously a Babysitter’s Club discussion going on here?? Hilarious, wow.
Um, and on the subject of that hockey-reference.com thing (and Briere, oddly enough)…someone left a comment on my blog today directing me to go here. I have to say I laughed for about 10 minutes ;)
CC, that’s hilarious!
Sid is so saucy!
Sid looks like he wants to dunk a bitch!
CC, that’s great! This Hockey-reference thing is so out of control! I’m totally expecting to click on some random scrub and find “Kilroy Was Here” as the blurb.
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! That’s awesome, CC!
Sid looks like he wants to dunk a bitch!
Just before he was asked that last question I said, “Sid looks like he ran out of patience for answering questions about 5 minutes ago!” and then BAM! He really did!
HA! That’s beautiful, CC!
If Matty doesn’t know who Rufus is, he doesn’t deserve you, alix!
Hee. True, Schnookie. I bet Matty will sponsor some endangered rhino in Africa and name it Rufus for me. :D
Yeah, Sid was trying to disable those reporters with his steely gaze!
This Hockey-reference thing is so out of control!
I know!! I was totally thinking about wasting $10 and sponsoring one of the Caps’ pages, but I think this is much better (plus the Caps blogosphere has carved up most of the boys already :P).
I can’t believe someone did that, seriously. The magical spearing midget will live on!
When I read that the Morrows’ little girl was named Mallory, I immediately assumed it was the wife’s idea. I associate it with Mallory Keaton, too, and it’s SO eighties.
If their little 4-year-old girl is any indication, they’re going to be adorable kids.
Myra, did you see that feature on them building their new house? Anne-Marie is fairly pregnant there.
Yeah, Sid was trying to disable those reporters with his steely gaze!
Sid is completely unaware of how the mustache really undermines his steely glare.
Sid: No! Not undermind! Enhance! ENHANCE! *steely glare*
Ugh. I’m kind of annoyed about how Pro Osgood, the Osgood/Riberio incident chat is. I mean Osgood started it, and then dove like he was a ballerina shot out of a cannon and then shot by a sniper. Riberio shouldn’t have done it, obviously, but Osgood’s not Mr.Innocent Pants over there.
Thank you, alix. That’s what I think.
I like how Draper is all righteously indignant about Ribeiro, after he sat on Ott for 10 seconds and tried to break his ribs with his stick. (Un-called, of course.)
Heh. Totally. I mean neither team is totally clean, but don’t act like your team is completely innocent and act like the stuff you pulled was an “accident”.
Oops, I totally spelled Ribs’ name wrong. Sorry Ribs.
I agree, alix. I love how one team always acts like a bunch of put-upon choirboys who can’t even imagine doing stuff against the rules. (The team that’s most driven me nuts about this during this postseason is the Rangers, grousing about how the Pens whine. ALL WHILE WHINING ABOUT THE OTHER TEAM WHINING TOO MUCH.)
Myra, did you see that feature on them building their new house? Anne-Marie is fairly pregnant there.
What, you mean Anne-Marie was in that? :P
No, I guess I let that go right by me. Between the house, the adorable little girl, and Brenden being a funny henpecked husband, I must have glazed over on that part of it.
Thank you, alix. That’s what I think.
I second that.
I like how Draper is all righteously indignant about Ribeiro, after he sat on Ott for 10 seconds and tried to break his ribs with his stick. (Un-called, of course.)
Dude, that was so not cool. I was like, you mean sitting on someone on purpose is not some kind of call? They call “holding”, can’t they call “sitting”?
Hubbie said that Otter should start a “fine” fund and have them deposit a certain amount of his paycheck each time so he’ll always be prepared since apparently the
