My two favorites are playing tonight. What I want to happen is they both play a nice tight game and make this very enjoyable. What I don’t want to happen is for one team to completely dismantle the other, then bitch slap them with a 10-0 score. I’m hoping for the best, but I have homework to do just in case.
And Go Devils! Way to not be on Blersus tonight!
WOOO!
HOORAY! Acorns!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
mcguffers, may the best team win!
KG, thanks so much for the heads up on that Zach interview! I’m completely puzzled by all these NHLers having Hotmail email. That seems so… bizarre.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! TRAVIS!!! TRAVIS!!! WOOOOOOOOO!!!!! And that was even sweeter for not being on Versus!
And mcguffers, I hope for the best possible outcome for you tonight. I tend to totally forget all about the other team when I’m watching the Devils, so the head-to-head games with trannies tend to go right over my head.
KG, that Zach interview was HILARIOUS! He is SUCH a dork!
Yeah Zach probably never gets emails from anyone other than those stupid scam virus emails. And he probably cries to Travis about it in their room on the road, which then probably makes Travis want to get a new roommate. Are they even roommates?
HAHAHAHAHA! That’s totally the only email Zach gets! Of course, he has no idea how to open an email, so he just looks at his inbox, sees 700 new messages, and brags to Travis, “Look at how many friends I have!” (I haven’t heard anything to the contrary, by the way, on the roommate front. I know they shared a room last year…)
Are we sure Zach isn’t just using Hotmail as a cover for the fact that he still accesses the web through AOL dial-up access?
Hm. I hate to have to say this, but I think Rupper’s fired.
Are we sure Zach isn’t just using Hotmail as a cover for the fact that he still accesses the web through AOL dial-up access?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That’s got to be it!
Amy, you’re so right! Clarkson said he doesn’t visit a lot of websites because “I just use my computer to just talk to people at home”. We were joking that he sits next to it and shouts at it, “Hello? Hello? Anyone there?”
The “people at home” that Clarkson’s talking to are just those pop-up ads with audio on them.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! The Thrashers dressed their own Clemmer-caliber goalie tonight!
those pop-up ads with audio on them.
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
HAHAHAHA!! What a bad goal to give up!
Go old man Madden Go!
“We were joking that he sits next to it and shouts at it, “Hello? Hello? Anyone there?””
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! That totally made my day!
Poor Zach has to make up friends. And I figured they’ve got to still be roommates because I mean the lineup didn’t change too much so it’s not like either of them had a best friend that came and then wanted to switch roommates. Plus that’d be so awkward if one of them was just like dude I hate you I don’t want to room with you anymore. Get away from me.
WOOO. This is rather depressing actually.
Maybe Zach wants to be the new Gomez and be Pando’s BFF, what with Pando being Shot Club’s proctor and all. Travis is all, “Hey, if you want to get on board that sinking ship, go right ahead.”
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! This doesn’t look ANYTHING like our other games with Atlanta this year!
This is rather depressing actually.
I’d feel worse if they hadn’t handed us our worst loss all season in the last meeting. :P
WOW. The Thrashers have an epically bad defence.
Travis wants to room with Paulie. Those brownies always look so tasty he thinks…
Should we maybe worry that someone is going to get hurt though? Each game against Atlanta had something awful go wrong. I feel like it’s going to be Zach. We don’t need him anymore since now we have Langs to fill in. Ha. Who would have thought Langs would ever score like he has been? JK, we totally need the hotness from Zach.
alix, they really do seem dreadful tonight, don’t they? Of course, last time we played them, they skated circles around us. :P
KG, maybe we’ve broken the curse? Maybe starting Weekes instead of Clemmer means the bad Thrashers mojo is gone?
God I hope so. I don’t like when our team crumbles into a million little pieces. It’s just not fun. :)
Maybe Clemmer will get hit with a pumpkin on the bench and that will count as our injury.
TravisNation is a deep swoon over Travis leading the Devils in +/-. It’s a deeply flawed stat until we’re talking about Travis being +23. :D
Should we maybe worry that someone is going to get hurt though? Each game against Atlanta had something awful go wrong.
We humiliated Atlanta last year, and then Boulton went nucking futs on everyone in a Sabre jersey and got about 42 penalty minutes in one sitting. Boxworthy should be ready with a stun gun once the Devils get about 7 goals.
The Sabres/Habs game isn’t disappointing by the way. Eff homework.
Of course, last time we played them, they skated circles around us. :P
Heh! I hate when that happens. Like during the Canucks losing streak when everyone couldn’t stop talking about how bad the Preds, Coyotes, and Blues power plays were, and then they proceeded to score like 4 goals a game on the PP against the Canucks.
The Devils website says Travis is a +26 before tonight. That’s even better. :)
Hit with a pumpkin? Hahahaha I would definitely love to see that.
Oh yeah, when Matty’s like a +13 I’m all a swoon. When he’s a -4 I call it a piece of crap stat. Heh.
I’m sure you can all hear me rolling my eyes right now at Shanahan fighting. (Boulton, of all people! Way to call it, mcguffers!)
That was a crappy fight. If you could even call that a fight.
What a PATHETIC fight that was.
I can’t believe Chico lied to me about Travis’s +/-!
And mcguffers, it’s Friday. Eff homework anyway, good game or no! :P
Oh yeah, when Matty’s like a +13 I’m all a swoon. When he’s a -4 I call it a piece of crap stat. Heh.
Absolutely! :D
Travis wants to room with Paulie. Those brownies always look so tasty he thinks…
Hotels around the league shudder in fear at having two brownie loving hockey players decimating their vending machines.
Hotels around the league shudder in fear at having two brownie loving hockey players decimating their vending machines.
HAHAHAHAHAHA! Totally!
Well these are special un vending machine brownies… hee.
Speaking of special brownies, did y’all hear about Michael Phelps taking bong hits? Hee. I kind of love him more now. But that’s just me.
A Boulton/Shanahan fight. I can’t find a word for that. What has the complete opposite meaning of fantastically awesome?
did y’all hear about Michael Phelps taking bong hits?
OF COURSE we’ve heard about him! He’s an American hero, recall. There’s all manner of hand-wringing here south of the border! :P
What has the complete opposite meaning of fantastically awesome?
I just looked it up in the Complete OED. It was accompanied by a picture of the Boulton/Shanahan fight, so… there you go. :P
Speaking of special brownies, did y’all hear about Michael Phelps taking bong hits?
I was listening to morning talk radio while they were discussing Miley Cyrus’s “slanty eyes” controversy. Someone said, “First she’s showing her bits in magazines, then she’s dating a 20 year old, now she’s making fun of Asians. I’m surprised she wasn’t in the picture taking a hit with Phelps.”
I can’t believe they actually suspended him for three months. Who cares what he does? It’s not like he was smoking weed during the Olympics.
mcguffers, :^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
So far my favorite article about the Phelps thing was an explainer column on Slate verifying that yes, with his superhuman lung capacity, Phelps is capable of taking superhuman bong hits.
HAHAHAHAHA!! Oh Miley Cyrus.
I can’t believe Kelloggs is taking back his sponsorship dolla bills! I mean yeah in America he’s a disgrace already, but cereal is like the munchie of champions for stoners. If they were smart they would run with that shit!
Three months? For reals. WOW. Your country is silly, y’all :P (says the girl who isn’t even sure who is running her country right now…)
Schnookie and alix, :^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I can totally picture some of my stoner friends taking swimming lessons now.
And alix, you’re totally right. My old roommates would have nothing in the fridge except milk for their 65 boxes of cereal
First Phelps is doing weed. Now I suppose you’ll be telling me that he’s had physical relations with women without benefit of marriage. What is this world coming to?
/sarcasm.
And WHOOOO Spacek!
I can’t believe they actually suspended him for three months. Who cares what he does? It’s not like he was smoking weed during the Olympics.
I know. And seriously, I’ve never understood why the anti-doping dudes care about or get to regulate pot smoking anyway. I can’t really think of a sport in which it would be performance enhancing.
I can’t really think of a sport in which it would be performance enhancing.
Paulie Martin’s like, “Uh… hockey? Yeah. Hockey. Pass the cereal.”
It is most decidely not performance enhancing :D Phelps would probably hang out on the edge of the pool for his whole race fascinated by how shiny the little tiles are.
Not that I would know. *Cough*
Now I suppose you’ll be telling me that he’s had physical relations with women without benefit of marriage.
Paulie Martin’s like, “Uh… hockey? Yeah. Hockey. Pass the cereal.”
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: to both of you!
And Chuck the Duck! Ordering grits in a diner! EEEEEE!!!!
Aw, bummer. There go our dreams of a Weekes shutout.
Okay, every time I see Mike Komisarek go near Tim Connolly, I get nervous. It would be like Bruce Willis beating up Samuel L. Jackson in Unbreakable.
Darn. I wanted Weeksie to get a shutout.
At least it’s Armstrong. He’s not douche-y.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was GORGEOUS!
WOO. Zach!
He’s not douche-y.
Well, he’s a raging douchebag, but I like him anyway. :P
TASTY!
NUMBER 30!!! GO ZACH!!! WOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Dude Zach and Patty have magic circulating in their heads? :p I love it.
OK, after all this Phelps talk, I didn’t need Chico referring to “the magic circulating inside [Parise's and Elias's] heads”.
I was just saying to Pookie and Boomer that I can imagine the magic circulating in Patty’s head. It’s some white-bearded wizard with metallic, shimmering, long robes and a huge pointy hat.
OK, after all this Phelps talk, I didn’t need Chico referring to “the magic circulating inside [Parise's and Elias's] heads”.
Yeah, Zach’s like, “But Coach Sutter, Paulie gave it to me!”
Rob Ray just called Pierre McGuire a chicken for not blocking a shot that came into their little box at ice level.
Ha Poor Paulie gets blamed for everything.
HA! Give it to him, Rayzor! Call him worse than chicken!
(And hey! We have a Joe Motzko sighting in our game!)
Amy, I think Pierre and Rob could totally have sitcom deal soon.
Patches is pretty on offense.
The Devils are just as dangerous on the PP as the PK? They’re not dangerous on the PP but now they have 10 PK goals.
And WOOO!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! The hell? This game is CRAZY!
Holy flirking schnitt. This game is crazy.
Of course, we’re not going to score again because they’ve changed goalies.
HAHAHAHA. What a cock up by the Thrashers that one was!
They’re not dangerous on the PP but now they have 10 PK goals.
Yeah, I think we have more shorties than PP goals this year… (We are starting to look like the early-season Flyers on our PK now. It’s AMAZING.)
mcguffers, I would totally watch the Pierre/Rob sitcom!
What a cock up by the Thrashers that one was!
I think that is the technical hockey description for it. :D
I am appalled that we’re praising Shanny right now for leaving his feet to block shots. That is the OPPOSITE of the Devils way, LITERALLY. Doc, STOP SAYING NICE THINGS ABOUT THAT!
Ryan Johnson was blocking shots in PRACTICE on Monday. I love him. But he does it the right way, where you don’t take youself out of the play.
I don’t often have a problem with shotblocking when guys stay on their feet. (Although I often prefer for them NOT to get in Marty’s way.) It’s the dumb flopping over and then being big, old, slow Shanahan and having to get back up and into the play afterwards! :P
Jeanneret is getting kind of lazy with the Kostitsyns. He’s not using first names with them. Anyone who didn’t know there were brothers (like anyone who’s never watched Versus) would wonder who this Kostitsyn character is and how he passes to himself.
That is the OPPOSITE of the Devils way, LITERALLY.
I’m sure Marty will be setting him straight shortly.
alix, Boomer is looking at your star turn on the Canucks website right now — she’s totally impressed!
RJ’s not calling them Big Tits and Little Tits? :P
I’m sure Marty will be setting him straight shortly.
Aw man, I hope so! He can skate out of the crease, screaming like a banshee and swinging his stick at Shanny’s head.
By the way, alix, I just checked out the Canucks website. You’re a SUPERSTAR! Congratulaitons! I’m like, “Pictures from the pratice… HEY! I know that person!” :D Your write-up was also really nice; a fashionable GM is totally the key to success!
Awwww! That’s so sweet of Boomer!
Thanks so much, Pookie! It was interesting writing it because I couldn’t be totally silly, but I didn’t want to completely change my style either. The FanZone guys just emailed me and said that Chris Zimmerman actually read it and really liked it so that’s pretty cool.
Awe a Zach interview? :) And I definitely loved Doc’s little story about Zach’s last name and how he’s American so he says it differently than his dad. And he stole Travis’s red mark.
Ooh, Alix, how exciting. I’m reading now!
He can skate out of the crease, screaming like a banshee and swinging his stick at Shanny’s head.
That’s brilliant, as long as he doesn’t re-injure his arm in the stick swing.
Alix, that write-up is awesome! That’s so exciting to be on your team’s website! You represented your blog peers very well :)
Schnookie, I don’t think RJ can remember which is Big Tits and which one is Little Tits.
Schnookie, I don’t think RJ can remember which is Big Tits and which one is Little Tits.
He and I have that in common. :P
Zach is totally going “Single White Female” on Travis!
Thanks, mcguffers! (The first time I typed that is was mcguggers. Heh. )
Did y’all like the pictures? I looked verrrrrry serious in the top one. HAHA.
Zach is totally going “Single White Female” on Travis!
Zach’s slowly working his way up to Derek Jeter.
The first time I typed that is was mcguggers.
I’ve been called worse.
If I played defense for the Habs, I’d kill myself.
I almost always type “mcguggers.”
As I type that, Mike Komisarek just assisted a Sabre goal. Mike, I know you want to be a Sabre, but you shouldn’t score for them until you’re wearing blue and gold.
If I played defense for the Habs, I’d kill myself.
Yeah . . .
Honestly, could Blobby possibly be more fucking stupid? I HATE HIM SO MUCH!
TRAVIS! Oh my God! I hate that Thrasher!
It could be worse – you could be on the Jackets offense – they’ve not got the hang of these “goals” everyone seems so fixated on.
Karen, :^:::::::::::::::::::::::::
KG, I had the same response! Schneider is SO on my list now. *Death glare*
Karen, I saw your score and cringed. I’m so sorry. And against the Pens, too — that’s adding insult to injury. I mean, the cats of stately IPB Manor could score on Fleury. :P
I’m late to the party. alix, where can I find your moment of glory?! I wanna see!
Seriously, Komisarek and Markov have more shots than the majority of the offense. And by majority, I mean everyone except Higgins. I’m not shocked that a defenseman leads this team in points.
The Canadiens (for some reason I’ve wanted to call them the Expos all night) are really not very good. We could totally catch them if we wanted to.
Did anyone read Zach’s lips before it went to commercial? I really want to know what he said.
alix, I found it! And it’s totally awesome. I love the super serious picture of you. The Canucks are really going all out with you guys, huh? The Sabres seem a lot more blogger resistant.
Heather, here’s a linkie.
http://canucks.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NHLPage&id=27633
Heather, I’m thinking they see how Bettman would love for them to win in their centennial year, and this is their way of sticking it to him. Of course, they’re also going to piss off the entire city of Montreal.
I would NOT want to piss off Montreal. They seem vicious.
Ooops. Beat me. Thanks so much, Heather!
The Canucks have been totally awesome with us. They really understand this new media stuff and figure why not embrace it and please the fans etc. I mean, they were nervous about it, but I think they realized most bloggers are pretty normal and cool after we showed up. :)
Someone tell Lapierre this is not the breakaway skills competition. Fail.
alix, that’s really cool. It really seems like it would be not that difficult to harness some of the blogosphere for good and I really don’t understand why more teams haven’t picked up on it.
mcguffers, that was one of the best breakaways I’ve ever seen. Pretty much sums up Montreal tonight.
I wish I could blame this all on Mason’s consumption but I’m afraid that even I can’t believe it.
Woooooooooooooooo! Stanley Cup! Stanley Cup! Stanley Cup!
I love it. Doc’s got this game in the bag so he’s like let’s just move on to tomorrow night’s games.
Heather, I totally would have been laughing, but I was in shock. I love that Harry Neale just laughs through the replay
Yeah, Heather, it beats me. A lot of teams are outright rude to bloggers, which I’ve never understood. I mean, everything that the Canucks have done since I’ve joined the FanZone has just made me love my team more, ya know?
The guy on the far right in the pictures was wearing a “Swedish Twins Are Hot” shirt, and Gillis actually commented on it when we interviewed him. HAHAHA.

Doc’s all business, that’s for sure. This game was awesome, though! WOO HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Did you guys know that when you search New Jersey Devils in the Itunes store IPB comes up?
WOOOOOOO!!! Those are the Devils I know and love!
HAHAHAHA! I hope people are really enjoying finding us in iTunes. Heh.
Kevin Weekes is SUCH a dreamboat.
I’ve seen a lot of crazy things in my life, but THAT. WAS. AWESOME!!!!
Patty, I’m so excited for you! How completely unbelievable! And double thanks for doing it to the Rangers. :D
You’re so welcome!
Maybe we can do the same to the Ducks, next time we meet them. :D
Glad to see you made it home alright, Patty. I just have one thing to say about tonight’s game.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
I can’t believe you guys were there for that game! That’s SO AWESOME!
It sure was fun but I am exhausted this morning!
I couldn’t believe how the Rangers just fell apart.
Breaking news: Hockey is the BOMB!
I love this blog! I’m so glad I found it. (I’m Lauren by the way – I’ve been a Devils fan since birth. I cried in ’94 when I was only 9 and the Devils lost to the Rangers in the playoffs). You guys are great. I honestly LOL sometimes. What is this Zach Parise interview you guys speak of?! I must have missed it!
