This weekend Caps fans took it upon themselves to hand out hundreds of pacifiers to highlight their opinion that Sidney Crosby is a whiner — the result was that Crosby had a handful of points and the shootout winner. We’re hoping this is a trend and fans will be showing up at the Rawk tomorrow night handing out the following:
For Niclas Havelid — the least macho Iron Macho we’ve ever seen — skeins of llama wool.
For Zach Parise — who hasn’t scored in what seems like forever (don’t disabuse us of this; we enjoy being wrong) — cases of Tastykakes. It works for Jeff Carter.
For Travis Zajac — about whom we have only one joke — acorns.
For Jamie Langenbrunner — who’s the team captain and thus has to talk to officials whenever issues arise — pacifiers.
For any Caps fans who might be in the house by accident — and what in the hell are they doing at The Rawk anyway? — some self esteem.
For the Flames — who apparently enjoyed the Greatest Trade Deadline Of All Time — the Cup, already engraved.
For Jarome Iginla — who enjoyed weeks of national media adoration leading up to his breaking the Flames franchise scoring record — bouquets of flowers.
For Patrik Elias — who is something like five or six points away from breaking the Devils franchise scoring record — a round of ho-hums.
For Coach Sutter — who survived another coach firing unscathed — a digital counter outside the arena keeping track of how many days the Devils organization has gone without firing a head coach.
For Scott Clemmensen — who is probably skulking around Newark somewhere — a kick in the nuts. Wait, Lou’s already done that? Well great! Thanks, Lou!
For Paulie Martin and Johnny Oduya — who are the bane of many ignorant Devils fans’ lives — some respect.
For the Ookies — who haven’t put up a decent blog post all season — millions of dollars.

I don’t know . . . this seems like a decent blog post to me.
Aw, thanks Meg. You’re too kind. :D (And I swear we weren’t fishing for compliments! We know when we’re mailing it in! :P)
If by “a decent blog post” you mean the opposite of indecent, then I agree. You guys post the best hockey indecency. The Saskatoon Airport agrees :)
Hmmmm. If not decent = Alix giggling at least 5 times, then yes. Not decent at all.
The Flames one was divine.
And I’m still giggling over the Caps “FRANCHISE RECORD 11 consecutive sellouts. Ooooh. Best crowd in the NHL for sure.
The Saskatoon Airport has been very approving of our content lately, but sternly disapproves of the content of the comment threads. You guys are making us TOTALLY indecent! :P
alix, I am SO befuddled by the fawning over the Flames. And as for the Caps fans, I loved Pensblog being like, “Well, if they knew Ovechkin was better than Sid, they wouldn’t have to go so far all the time to try to prove it.” Heh. BURN.
alix, the Canucks have more shutouts, but have they handed out goofy props to prove a point everyone else moved on from two years ago? I think not! Check and mate.
alix, I am SO befuddled by the fawning over the Flames.
Word. Sure, Jokinen makes them better on paper, but when was the last time a Cup winner actually made a huge deal at the deadline? I don’t think it happens that way.

Pish posh — we all know the Cup is won on Trade Deadline Day. :P
Jason Spezza just got an illegal stick penalty. Would someone tell Ron Wilson this game doesn’t matter and if the Leafs actually do come back and win this due to an illegal stick penalty, they’ll just look like weiners?
Ron Wilson’s like, “YOU SHUT UP, MCGUFFERS! YOU JUST SHUT UP! TAKE YOUR FIRE CLOWN AND GO AWAY! YOU’RE THE WEINER!” He’s… a little unhinged.
Ron Wilson says, “Every point counts when you’re playing yourself out of the lottery.”
Poor Leafs fans. They really thought they were good and ready to suck their way to Tavares after the trade deadline but somehow they keep winning.
“YOU SHUT UP, MCGUFFERS! YOU JUST SHUT UP! TAKE YOUR FIRE CLOWN AND GO AWAY! YOU’RE THE WEINER!”

Erin, treausre is like fancier treasure!
mcguffers, we would never expect such vulgar commentary from you. I think alix was waiting one of us knuckle-draggers to bite on the Tavares thing.

I’ve been pretty calm today. Carbo’s firing got a “Meh.” from me. Blersus’s game was lose/lose for the Sabres and lose/not lose for the Habs. Then this random Leafs/Sens game was pretty pointless for anyone, involved or not. alix, your team better be entertaining tonight, dammit.
Oh and Pookie, Tavares just set a league RECORD for spurting from behind! Sid the baby has nothing on him! (The real record may have been the OHL goal record)
Oh my boys ALWAYS entertain, mcguffers. Especially those tall strapping Swedes. And their mummies are at the game tonight, so you know they want to impress.
Tavares just set a league RECORD for spurting from behind!
THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID! BOO-YAH!

Tavares is a COMPULSIVE spurter! He spurts WITH NO CONTROL! SPURT SPURT SPURT!!!

Yeah, I’m trying to keep myself minimally engaged tonight. Keep it up, Canucks! (We’re watching a week’s worth of House Hunters right now, and missed most of the Rangers’ AWESOME loss while catching up on Daily Show and Colbert. So I’m really kind of like, “Wait, there’s hockey on tonight?”)

HEE! Yeah, that comment was kind of bi-polar wasn’t it, Schnookie? I started out so promisingly dirty but then I wanted to mention how adorable it is that they’re doing a mums trip. Oh well. Next time I’ll be better.
Well, alix, your boys ARE into some pretty kinky stuff. I mean, maybe they DO like to have their mums watching?
You might be right, Schnookie :D
The Canucks are dirty and kinky just the way I like em.
I’m such a BLONDE! I totally forgot about the time change because we don’t change, and I missed the first 5 minutes. Shit.
You guys don’t change times at all? Or just later? Daylight Savings Time makes my head hurt.
HAHAHAHA! Oh, being blonde. I remember being that way back before my hair got darker… :P
(We just had the DirecTV guide on for a sec, with the channel set to where the Leafs/Sens game had been. There was some familiar music playing, and finally Pookie put her finger on what they were playing: “We have a Nickeldebacle on our hands!”)
HA! Nickeldebacle!
Yeah, Saskatchewan doesn’t change at all. We’re farmers/something about sun and solstices…
This game is…not going well.
Did y’all even wonder where I was? I was stuck in the last comment thread, wondering where everybody went!

I was so happy that Sid showed the Caps fans. That’s one of the few times I want the Pens to win these days.
Here’s a telling picture.
Lots of stuff going on there.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Patty, that picture is FABULOUS!
I just got another NHL Fan Faceoff Survey that gave me a tiny box to write in “what blogs/message boards do you follow”. I’m like, “How much time have you got?”
And on that note, good night, everyone!
What are some good restaurants to eat at in Newark that are decently priced? A friend of mine is going and wants to know.
I just got another NHL Fan Faceoff Survey that gave me a tiny box to write in “what blogs/message boards do you follow”. I’m like, “How much time have you got?”
Hee! I think Gary Bettman’s hair would curl if he realized just how big the NHL Blogosphere really is. It’s one thing to be aware of the MSM-ier blogs like Puck Daddy and Mirtle and the ones done by beat writers, but he’d be shocked if he did some searching on Blogger and WordPress.
My most recent Fan Faceoff survey was about TV coverage. It’s the second TV related survey they’ve sent me in the past month.
The NHL has stopped including me in that survey. I haven’t gotten one in several months. They must not have liked the answers they were getting from me. I always answered when they sent me one.
Good morning, everyone!
KG, I know absolutely nothing about the restaurant scene in Newark, so I’ll leave that question to the rest of the Devils fans here who’ve been there. Sorry! :D
My most recent Fan Faceoff survey was about TV coverage. It’s the second TV related survey they’ve sent me in the past month.
Man, they never send me stuff like that! I got the one last night asking what blogs I read (and I have to think, considering the furor over the Islanders Blog Box and the tradition of credentialing bloggers in Washington, I bet the league has a pretty good idea of what the scope of the blogosphere is like), but they never ask me about TV coverage! Although they did ask me, in a single-question survey a week ago, which game I wanted to see on NBC this Sunday, so next time you complain that it’s always Rangers/Flyers, you can blame me. Heh. I just didn’t want to have to watch the Tranny Brides on the Rangers feed! It can’t be helped!
Schnookie, I wouldn’t blame you for that choice re: the NBC game. I take it the other options were even more depressing.
This post is made of “heeeeeee!”. All the gifts seem totally appropriate :D
Thanks, Mags! :D
And how was your birthday?
Schnookie, I can handle the Flyers occasionally, but not the Rangers. And I had to turn off the broadcast once Pierre and Milbury started writing off the Sabres season due to the loss of Crunchy. Bad enough the local media won’t shut up about it, I don’t need the dynamic duo waxing poetic about it.
I just wanted to pop in and say Happy Belated Birthday, Mags!
Great post, ladies! Poor Elias, you just can’t get any love if you are a Devil. We still love you, dude, even if the Ice Trolls bad two-headed gm dumped you.
BTW, the Ice Girls stuff from the other day was awesome. Full on snort-laugh worthy. Even got a laugh out of Hub.
And I had to turn off the broadcast once Pierre and Milbury started writing off the Sabres season due to the loss of Crunchy.
Oh man, yeah, life’s too short to listen to those two. I generally either wander away during intermission or just leave it muted. Those are minutes taken away from your life that you will never get back!
Thanks, Myra! And thanks for caring about Patty. He appreciates, even if you’ve cut him. :P (I’m glad even Hub laughed at the Ice Girl stuff. I hope you’ll join us at the auditions in August… :D)
And how was your birthday?
Good, good :D No presents, but I got to eat nothing but cake and mars bars all day. So I count it as a pretty good birthday. (I have low standards. I consider it a blessing my parents had enough time to breathe during work and call me). We had a little dance party during practice. More because we won the NC’s on Sunday, but they sang me happy birthday so I guess it counts for a birthday party :)
And thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. They really made me smile :)
Sounds like a truly delightful day, Mags! I’m so happy for you!
I’m under the impression someone smuggled a lock of Brodeur’s hair to Clemmenson which completed the necessary list of items to finish his Brodeur voodoo doll right before the Islanders game.
That kick in the nuts probably put him over the edge, so he made Brodeur give up 6 instead of 1 – just to stifle his bid for the shut-out record and all.
my guess is that it was Zajac, his being so naive and trusting, and so willing to believe that he wasnt the only one with a lock of Brodeur’s hair in his collection. Little did he know it was to be used for evil and not good.
Hey SueNJ, how are you? havent seen you since your days on the E**N boards. DW is still over there, but havent seen anything from RobInNJ in a long while. hope all is well.
Travis is such a naif! They didn’t teach him about evil at the Waldorf School! Man, Clemmer is just so vile. I can’t believe he’d prey on Travis, and more than that, that he’d exploit Travis’s “teammates’ locks of hair” collection. Hissss… I hate that guy. :P
That explains why so many players are shaving their heads.
Clemmer is just so selfish. Putting revenge over the good of the organisation. Bastard.
I hope Zach doesn’t shave his head! I love his ridiculous spiky hair! Of course, now that Travis has figured out what Clemmer was up to, he’ll think twice about sharing his locks collection…
For Jarome Iginla — who enjoyed weeks of national media adoration leading up to his breaking the Flames franchise scoring record — bouquets of flowers.
You know, for a team that’s been around for awhile (I mean, if they’re counting the Atlanta years that’s what, since 1972) the Flames scoring record isn’t all that high. Maybe the media should think about that.
At least the Devils have the excuse of having been busy killing hockey. Isn’t that right media?
the Flames scoring record isn’t all that high. Maybe the media should think about that.
I was thinking the same thing. I mean, it’s a great accomplishment for a classy guy, blah blah blah, but dude, since when does anyone care about the all-time leading scorer for the Flames? I mean, the Flames? That storied franchise? Her?

Imagine how out of control this would be if Iggy played for an Original 6 team and was close to breaking their scoring record.

Yeah. Unless it was the Leafs whose scoring record holder is Mats Sundin. Not that Sundin hasn’t been a great player but compared to some of the other Original Six it seems a little, well, unexciting.
O hey look, Roberts retired. Yawn.
DAMNIT wrong link. This one’s right!
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::: to the whole voodoo doll thing!
Not that Sundin hasn’t been a great player but compared to some of the other Original Six it seems a little, well, unexciting.
Hm. You’re right. Scoring records should be held by long-deceased legendary hall-of-famers! They should be venerable, dusty old records, long thought untouchable! None of this Mats Sundin crap. :P
I thought Roberts retired last week?
Have you guys seen the post on Kukla about Sutter considering leaving (after the season of course)? Can’t say I’d be that disappointed…
They should be venerable, dusty old records, long thought untouchable!
That’s what I’m saying! Or at least over 1000 points, anyway. I have to confess, though, that I’d never heard of Rod Gilbert, holder of the Rangers dusty old record. Heh.
I think I’d really rather Sutter not leave, since this is by far the most exciting Devils team since 2001. But hey, what’s another coaching change? It feels kind of strange that we’ve had the same guy behind the bench for two seasons now…
Or at least over 1000 points, anyway.
Oh, TOTES. Which is why Patty creeping up on the Devils’ record is getting a chorus of ho-hums from me too, alongside the yawning hockey media. :D (I know Rod Gilbert basically just because I was a Rangers fan for a year at the outset of my hockey-watching life. But ONLY for that reason. :P)
Oh, Sutter’s been saying that “year-to-year” stuff all along. I bet we get another season out of him. (I’m never right about these things. Heh.)
I know Rod Gilbert because he was always in those Rangers Fantasy Camp ads our first season as fans.
If Sutter does leave the Devils, I’m voting now that we get a handsome coach to replace him. I’m very jealous of teams that have foxy coaches.
Well Guy Carbonneau will be available.
I said foxy, Meg. :P
They should be venerable, dusty old records, long thought untouchable!
To prove your point, I really think Perrault’s place as the Sabres all time leading scorer (over 1300 points) is secure for a long time. He’s got well over 1,300 points, and the next nearest Sabre is Roy-Z with 269. I realize that Afinogenov currently has over 300 points, but he’s on his way out of dodge at the end of this season, so why bother?
And no Briere tonight for the Tranny Brides, even though he begged Stevens to let him play.
Poor Elias, you just can’t get any love if you are a Devil. We still love you, dude, even if the Ice Trolls bad two-headed gm dumped you.
The Kazoos thank you greatly for dropping him, Myra!
And woohoo!!! Mags! Happy belated birthday! 21st is a good one, glad to hear that you had a nice day.
He’s got well over 1,300 points, and the next nearest Sabre is Roy-Z with 269.
HAHAHAHAHA! Yeah, it looks like this generation is not going to be making much of an assault on that record. Which is great! I mean, venerable, dusty old records are THE BEST! I’m far more interested in the Sawchuk shutout record, for example, than the Roy wins record, just because two years ago, no one thought the Sawchuk one was breakable. You want these things to seem unattainable! 1300 points is a GREAT all-time scoring record. It’s gonna take some serious doing to beat that!
You know what my only regret about loving the Tranny Brides this season is? That I haven’t been able to enjoy the unmitigated hilarity that is the Briere situation. I mean, I enjoyed that he was helpfully not on the scene all season, but now they’ve had to dismantle the team to make room for him, and that should be HILARIOUS, but I’m actually peeved because the team I’d liked watching has been gutted. Stupid Tranny Brides. Stupid Briere. What a waste of a laughably Flyers-riffic situation. :P
I said foxy, Meg. :P
I know, I know, but the options are limited here. I’m utilizing a sliding scale.
Not to get all Stan Fischler but I saw Rod Gilbert play and he was very good. After he retired, Gilbert broke the unintentional comedy scale when the Rangers hired him as a between period analyst and all he would say in a thick thick French-Canadian accent was:
“Well, Jimmy, dey shoot da puck and pass da puck and score.”
I know, I know, but the options are limited here. I’m utilizing a sliding scale.
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: I’m willing to have the Devils go off the map here for a REALLY foxy coach. I think we’re owed one.

Speaking of the Kazoos, I hope everyone is very excited for the TinTats clinching a playoff berth. Sure, we’ve been coasting with that massive conference lead (I think we’re 2-17 over the last two weeks), but still. I RAWK!
It’s gonna take some serious doing to beat that!
Yeah, particularly considering he played in the NHL’s defense? what defense? era.

Well, you can’t have James Patrick. The Sabres need him, because Ruff and McCutcheon certainly aren’t going to be bringing the foxiness.
I’m sure there are some foxy AHL or Juniors coaches but I wouldn’t know about that.

I seriously considered dropping both my goalies for this week since they’re only going to hurt my playoff hunt. So I guess I’m making like the Flyers?
I totally got “Peoned”. Or would that be “Peowned?”
I think the latter. The peons were on the way up in the world–they were totally becoming burghers–until Khabibulin got hurt. We just picked up Huet and are hoping he can avoid sucking so that we stop losing all the goaltending stats.

Yeah, he’s one of those two guys I wish I could sit for the last week. Heh.
We just picked up Huet and are hoping he can avoid sucking so that we stop losing all the goaltending stats.
Ugh. I’ve got Huet in my keeper league. He’s been balls lately. I think he’s tired, playing too much with Khabibulin out. But at least he’s getting the starts. Plus they’re the Hawks, they’ll bounce back.
Or make like andrew and bench them both once one of them gets a good stat or two.
Hell yes. I rule!
Hey, that reminds me, I think next season we should have a “minimum starts” rule for the goalies. Maybe 2 or 3 per week? What do you all think?
Plus they’re the Hawks, they’ll bounce back.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

I’m definitely in favor of that! (Assuming, of course, that I end up with Kiprusoff again…)
Maybe 2 or 3 per week? What do you all think?
I think 3 might be difficult if one of your goalies gets hurt. Only because when you can only choose from one conference sometimes there’s pretty much nothing but backups available.
I think 3 might be difficult if one of your goalies gets hurt.
Oh right. When you don’t have Kiprusoff, you might not get that many starts, eh? I wouldn’t know. He and I are attached at the hip. :P
I totally never even look at my goalies stats because they always suck. This year I’ve had Budaj all year. There’s just never anyone better to pick up. I vote for forgoing goalies altogether next year! :D
This year I’ve had Budaj all year. There’s just never anyone better to pick up.
That is a drag.
You should pick up Boucher. Nabokov’s out for a while (He’s not even travelling with the team on this road trip). And even though the Sharks aren’t winning, Boucher is still rocking a .920 SV% and 2.13 GAA. That’s a world of difference over Budaj.
Oooh, thanks for the tip, andrew! It’s mucho appreciated! I feel so much freer and happier with Budaj!
Oooh, thanks for the tip, andrew! It’s mucho appreciated!
No problem! I hope he works out for you. If not, don’t blame me!
(p.s. When Nabokov returns to the lineup, drop Boucher. He won’t get another start unless Nabby goes down again.)
Just give me a little signal when Nabby comes back. Just kidding. Thanks again. I had plum given up on my goalies and hadn’t even thought to look at who was available.
Good afternoon everyone!
The Kings are pretty good, eh? *Grumble, grumble*
The Kazoos thank you greatly for dropping him, Myra!
Hey, it wasn’t my idea! You can thank the Hubster for that one. :(
I guess I’m in the minority because I think Guy is totally foxy. But then I think Tipp is totally foxy (especially in person), too.
I have a thing for brunettes.
Just give me a little signal when Nabby comes back.
Ooooh secret signal! How exciting! I’ll tug on my ear. Wait…no…I’ll scratch my nose. Ooh, no! I’ll wink twice! This is too difficult…I’d make a terrible spy.
Hey, it wasn’t my idea! You can thank the Hubster for that one. :(
Woo! Thanks Hub!
This is too difficult…
We can pick a codeword. When you say, “Pierre McGuire is a douchebag”, I’ll know you mean I should drop Boucher.

So, usually I like Puck Daddy’s stuff a lot, but saying that dads trips are cool but the Canucks mums trip is lame, well, what’s up with that? Just because they’re going shopping in LA? Wish is a sexist bastard!
When you don’t have Kiprusoff, you might not get that many starts, eh? I wouldn’t know. He and I are attached at the hip
Except for his little hiccup this year, Luongo and I are attached at the hip. Dude’s a workhorse.
I agree with you, alix! I’ve hated that they don’t have mums trips, and I love that the Canucks are doing that. What’s so different for the mums to go shopping in LA than the standard touristy sightseeing the dads always do?
Except for his little hiccup this year, Luongo and I are attached at the hip.
Did you have him last year, too? I think there’s some kind of unwritten rule in Yahoo that Kipper gets autodrafted for me. :D
Did you have him last year, too?
That I did.
That I did.
High five! Although I think I’d rather have Luongo than Kipper… Hm. I’m taking back my high five and glaring bitterly. :P
(I have no idea what I’m going to do if I have to actually think about goaltending next year.)
Alix, I totally agree with you! I wish I had the guts to shoot an email to Wish with my sentiments, but I get the feeling it would fall on deaf ears (not because he doesn’t care, but because he gets a metric shit tonne of email)
I got Kipper in both my fantasy teams this year. It’s definitely been an interesting ride. Remind me to thank the Hockey Gods for Mason and Rinne. They’ve had some pretty brilliant moments (and some bad ones, but that’s to be expected)
I have no idea what I’m going to do if I have to actually think about goaltending next year.
I thought about it a little bit this year and am kind of glad I ended up with Turco instead of Giggy.
I have Biron. Yeah. And Leighton. But he`s a backup so he never plays.
I`m glad you ladies agree! I thought maybe I was being oversensitive because it was my team.
Hi Ken! I almost forgot about my days posting on the E**N boards. How are you? Good to ‘see’ you again!
About Clemmensen and the Brodeur voodoo doll, I always thought Marty tore the bicep muscle because Patty Roy had made his own little Marty doll and had been busy sticking pins in it, but, now it occurs to me, could it have been Clemmer all along?
could it have been Clemmer all along?
If you look hard enough, you will see that Clemmensen is responsible for many problems in the world. They scoffed at him when he was wandering the halls of AIG in August, carrying a voodoo doll of a bank. “How the hell can you even have a voodoo doll of a bank?” AIG CEO Robert Willumstad was heard to mutter on more than one occasion. One month later, AIG was crashing and taking the whole economy with it.
This small test case having gone so well, injuring Brodeur was like taking candy from a baby.*
* I can’t say as easy as a routine save because we all know for Clemmensen, there are no routine saves.

Yeah, he would have taken Marty out during training camp, but he had a miscommunication with his voodoo doll.
