Mr. Elk: Wherein IPB Sees An Emperor-God In Muppet-Baby Form

As you may have gathered from last night’s post, we were not entirely pleased with last night’s debacle “game” game against the Toronto Fucking Maple Fucking Leafs. It was late, we were cranky, the game sucked, so when the second intermission started, we couldn’t hit the fast forward button on the TiVo remote fast enough. [...]

Devils vs. Leafs, 10/29/08 — Postgame Reaction

Some thoughts about tonight’s game, which we watched on TiVo delay and weren’t finishing up until it was going on 1 a.m. (that should give you an idea, Gentle Reader, of how much we enjoyed it): 1.

Devils @ Flyers, 10/25/08 — Postgame Report

Ahhh, Philadelphia. It’s the City of Crazy-Assed Shit, as well as Brotherly Love. What did we think of today’s game? We liked it for a few reasons: 1. Gionta scored, thereby driving up his rental-player trade value. If he can keep this up, we’re sure some stupid team somewhere will give us three first-rounders and [...]

And there will be lots and lots of action.” It’s a hockey holiday today, and we’re all ready for it! Fridge? Stocked! Beverages? Handy! Chair? Soft! Ready [...]
