So it’s the Flames tonight, is it? We… don’t have much to say about them. Now will we after this game, probably, because it’s not in HD, and we can’t see anything that isn’t in HD anymore. It’s all just a blur of red and black and white.
FIRST PERIOD
19:29 We are apparently watching to see how the Devils respond to being so incredibly poopy on Long Island. So far we’ve seen a crazy chance for the Flames that Marty barely manages to shut down. In other words, it’s looking great!
17:58 Boyd, some guy on the Flames, hooks Havelid behind Marty’s net. He’s playing with fire, taking a penalty against the Iron Macho. (See what we did there? Fire? Flames? )
15:58 The PP might not have scored there, but the Flames can consider themselves warned. Next time won’t be so easy. Or, um, something.
13:18 Chico tells us about the mutual admiration society that is the Marty/Kipper dynamic. It seems Marty was his usual passhole-aggresshole charming self when asked about Kipper, and he made some dig wondering whether the media in Calgary was going to be all “Kipper’s too tired to play in the playoffs after starting 75 games”. Chico thinks he’s the only person who picked up on that, though.
12:53 Paulie hooks some random Flame guy in the near corner. We’re aghast.
12:15 We try to watch as the Flames muff the puck at the blue line, but it’s too dreadful. Pookie: “I can’t watch this picture! I can’t believe we’re not in HD because of the Knicks.” It’s a pretty gruesome insult.
9:35 Ahh, continued sloppy coverage down low, how we love you so. The Paulie/Oduya d-pairing forgets how to play hockey (Pookie: “I’m blaming Havelid for that.” Andy Greene: “Me too.”) and leaves Jokinen on the doorstep to make the game 1-0 Flames. Pookie: “Well, Olli Jokinen did invent hockey, or so I’ve been led to believe, so I can’t really expect anything less.”
7:02 Pando is benched again tonight, and thank heavens for it, otherwise we would have been robbed the splendor and majesty that is this Rupp/Roy fight.
Yawn.
6:21 Pookie, watching the Devils flounder: “I’m sticking to my call of 3-1 Flames, even though they are clearly the superior team here, just because they’re that boring.”
5:12 Schnookie: “Now, Sutter has identified what the team did wrong after the trade deadline last year and isn’t going to let it happen again, right? Right?” Just then Shanahan takes a high-sticking penalty. Faaaaantastic.
3:08 The PK ends on a three-man Patty/Shanny/Zach rush that starts with a soft drop pass by Patty and ultimately yields a pretty weak shot by Zach. Chico tells us the Devils have a lot of zip in their steps tonight. Schnookie: “But none in their shots.”
0:56 Doc tells us this is Blobby’s 1300th game. Ah, but it only feels like his 3600th to us.
0:00 We can guarantee that Kiprusoff isn’t going to be too tired to play well in the playoffs if he keeps facing offensive pressure like the Devils have had so far tonight.
FIRST INTERMISSION
Gel-O, Dano and Stan talk about the proposed changes to the fighting rules in the NHL. As much as the fighting itself bores us in hockey, the talking about fighting bores us even more.
SECOND PERIOD
19:32 The Devils are as surprised as we are that this game is still going on, and they give up a near breakaway to kick off the new period. Whatever Sutter told them during the intermission sure made a difference.
18:52 Doc and Chico are going on and on about Iginla. Pookie, not at all cranky: “You know how many whits I care about Jarome Iginla? Not a one!”
17:31 We’re arguing amongst ourselves whether this is the March Swoon starting now, or whether it had started in Clemmer’s last few starts, but was artificially staved off by the Marty Bump. As Doc would say, though, no matter. Either way, this team is clearly swooning.
15:17 Pando lost his job for this? Shanahan takes a hooking penalty because he’s a step too slow in the defensive zone. Why are we still watching this? Pookie: “If it’s not 2-0 Flames at the end of this penalty, I will eat my hat.”
14:50 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Ham. Pookie meant ham. Whitey and Langer dart down the rink on a well-covered and harmless-looking shorthanded rush, and Langer squeaks a trickling shot through Kiprusoff. It’s a 1-1 game, and we have no idea how Kipper didn’t stop that. (Pookie, meanwhile, says, “I don’t like ham. I think I said I’d eat a Valomilk if the score wasn’t 2-0 Flames at the end of the penalty.”)
13:19 Chico tells us that Havelid has a shorty with the Thrashers this year. Pookie: “I cannot comprehend of Havelid doing anything good.” And to think, we loved this guy when the trade was announced.
11:45 The Devils are warming to the task now, and Rupp gets a chance with Kipper down and out where, if he had even a modicum of skill, he’d have been able to roof the puck over him into the gaping net. Instead, Rupper has to slowly pivot over the puck, calibrate his shot, take some time to set his aim, and then hit the crossbar. Schnookie: “Pando could have done that.”
11:07 Doc is talking about how the ice is tilted now in the Devils’ favor. Pookie: “It’s the circus’s fault. It fucked up the ice because all the elephants sat at one end.”
10:51 The scorched earth PP is back on the ice thanks to an interference penalty to the Flames.
8:43 Langer is apparently shooting with a flubber puck that Kipper just can’t handle; he gets a shot from above the faceoff dot that dribbles tantalizingly through the crease, but Zach can’t quite lunge in time to get to it. (Zach is never going to score again.)
7:14 Rolston’s fired. He takes a cement-footed holding penalty in the offensive zone at the end of his shift.
4:30 Our picture blinks out for a long moment. We can’t decide whether we’re happy when it comes back. Heh.
3:52 Some dastardly Flame hooks Travis. TravisNation narrows its eyes angrily – that better be the worst infraction they commit against him tonight. Poor Travis, getting hooked like that. It’s not fair.
1:57 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Rolston’s hired again! (Although Rollie the cat is not thrilled when we cheer for her namesake’s goal.) He’s ready and waiting at the top of the crease for this time when Kipper mishandles an incoming shot from the left faceoff dot, and he sweeps the puck into the net for a 2-1 Devils lead.
1:22 Gio’s fired. He seems not to have clued into the fact that the officials are calling everything, and takes a lazy interference penalty.
0:45 Patty leaps up the center of the rink on a shorthanded chance, but his spinarama pass to the trailer on the play is to Paulie, who we all know has no finish.
0:20 Chico told us after Rolston’s goal that Paulie got a secondary assist, prompting Pookie to exclaim, “Pancakes for everyone!” But now the PA announcer is saying it’s Zubrus’s assist. Pookie, dejected: “Everyone, give back your pancakes.” Pause. “Travis is like, ‘I already ate mine.’”
0:00 We liked that period a lot more than the first. Other than the part where Paulie was robbed of what was rightfully his. We get an interview with a winktacular Rolston, who shoots down Stan’s attempt to nickname him “Deft”.
SECOND INTERMISSION
This intermission is all white noise, as it’s just blah blah blah Stancakes.
THIRD PERIOD
18:43 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the phonk? The Poppers (seeming the only line not shaken up tonight), have a wacky, slow-moving shift in front of the net, where everyone collapses around the crease. Kipper thinks he’s frozen the puck, and is lying on his side helplessly, but Langer keeps digging, and just when it seems everything has been frozen, Zach is flat on his face in the blue paint and the official behind the net is signaling goal. There’s a video review, but the end result is a new Flames goalie and Zach’s 39th goal. 3-1 Devils.
18:13 Rupper’s fired. Or perhaps benched. He takes one of the ever-popular lazy offensive-zone holding penalties that are all the rage with the Devils these days.
18:05 Marty misses a pokecheck off the faceoff, but instead of crumbling like his predecessor this season, he calmly sits down and waits for Cammalleri to whiff on his shot.
15:27 The Devils D is looking ahead to the next game already, and let Lundmark walk out from the corner and fire a wide-open shot from the low slot. Marty makes a delicious sliding stacked-pad save, and kills the rebound in his chest protector, prompting Chico to say something about how when you get a shot against Marty, you need to get the first one off right because there isn’t often a second one. Pookie channels Nykwana Wombosi and snarls, “If you are going to kill me, kill me dead.”
14:59 Clarkson gets hauled down as he slides headfirst through the Calgary slot, and the Devils PP gets back to work scorching the earth.
13:51 The PP shooting gallery has everyone thinking 4-1, but it finally peters out on a fanned shot attempt. During the whole affair, Zach is fired for hitting the outside of the goalpost on a gaping-net shot.
12:13 Phaneuf hits Holik. Pookie: “That’s the ugliest player-hitting-player combination the league can throw at us.”
8:53 We’ve noticed Havelid on the ice for the first time tonight. Nothing good can come of this. He’s the worst Iron Macho ever.
5:11 The Devils are playing a totally workmanlike third period, but after an icing, Sutter calls a timeout. We see a closeup of the bench, and both he and Travis are chortling up a storm. This is not one of those really tense timeouts.
4:15 Gio easily bests Phaneuf while chasing a puck up the wing. Just sayin’.
3:08 Zubrus tries a wraparound, but ends up just sort of skating in a straight line into the corner. Schnookie: “Zubrus needs to go to Clarkson’s skills camp.”
2:52 The Iron Boar gets his stick on a shot just inside the blue line and ends up deflecting the puck into his own chin.
2:27 The other day, MSG+ showed us pictures during a game of Applesauce’s pug Nellie. (Yes, pug.) Doc takes a post-icing stoppage to tell us that Applesauce appreciated them showing the pictures, then floated tantalizingly that there are other players on the team who also have dog pictures. We are so excited to see these! Get on it, MSG+!
1:53 Whitey fires the puck over the glass. And this was going so well, too. At least it’s not a lazy hooking/holding penalty, though. We’d praise Whitey for originality during his exit interview.
1:29 The Iron Boar is back on the ice, and we agree he’s just relieved the Iron Macho of his “Macho”. That’s right – he’s the Iron Macho Boar now. And Havelid is just the Iron.
0:45 We are remarkably calm. We never felt this good with the Devils sitting on a two-goal lead, on the PK, with Clemmer in net.
0:01 Screw you, Calgary. They manage to get the puck past Marty off a buzzer-beating scramble. Whatever, losers. It’s 3-2 Devils, and Marty is flat-out cracking up.
0:00 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Wow! The Flames are the Greatest Team Of All Time Since The Trade Deadline, and the Devils just comfortably beat them (less a crappy first period). What does that say about the Devils?
Poopy poop poop.
Indeed. Plenty o’ poop.
So it’s you, me, this poopy game and the crickets tonight, eh, Pookie?
Yup, looks like it.
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Chirp, chirp.
(And what the hell are you doing stealing my icon to impersonate crickets, Pookie? THIEF!)
What? Don’t look at me! It was the crickets!
WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
the devils seem to be a bit more spirited on this power play
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Yeah, they really seem to have stopped sucking quite so much, haven’t they don?
It seriously took me a full minute to figure out who “Crickets” is. Woah.
A little distracted by the game, eh, mcguffers? :D
Apparently. I’m trying to watch two at a time while setting up a new computer. Not. Working.
marty made a nice save following that blast by iginla…i don’t know how many goals clemmer would have given up tonite, maybe more, maybe less, maybe the same, but i just feel so much more confident when marty is in there
You and I are the opposite tonight, mcguffers! I’m totally trying NOT to watch ANY games! :P (Man, there is just something about the Flames that makes my brain shut off. They are like a Schnookie repellent.)
I agree 100%, don.
I know for sure that Clemmer would have let the Flames get more shots.
yessssss!!
WOOOOOOOOO!! That Rollie goal was a beaut!
I know for sure that Clemmer would have let the Flames get more shots.
Oooh, ZING! And true. Heh.
And WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was curious to see how the Habs play with Bob. and the Sabres… well how can you not watch them?? :P
it is nice to see the devils on MSG++ with doc and chico…last nite i watched the third period of the rangers’ loss on blersus…blersus is acceptable to watch the rangers lose…i suppose that would be good on a 12″ black and white tv in a foreign language…but not good enough for the devils…ever…
and the Sabres… well how can you not watch them?? :P
Schnookie’s thought process: “Don’t answer that, Schnookie. It’s a rhetorical question. Or perhaps ironical. Or sarcastical. Just let it slide.” :P
blersus is acceptable to watch the rangers lose…i suppose that would be good on a 12″ black and white tv in a foreign language…but not good enough for the devils…ever…
HAHAHAHAHA! And word. On both counts. I hate when the Devils are on Blersus SO MUCH. But I’ll watch the Rangers lose on ANY channel!

I’m not even watching a Stars game.
I think I’m ready to give up. The Stars aren’t going to make the playoffs. Let’s just go on home. This season has worn me out.
the devils bang one home after a long scrum in front of the net…nice

Fucking Oilers. There fucking goalie is fucking Roloson. Are you fucking kidding me?

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Hockey’s just so spurty all the time. No one can help it. :P
And WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That goal was INSANE!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I stand corrected — Zach will score again! WOOOOOOO!!!!
Patty, I”m so sorry about the Stars — but there’s plenty of Brahms left! The way this season is going, unless you’re Tampa or NYI or Toronto, there’s always plenty of Brahms left!
“It squirted out and now it’s just hanging there.”
Tavares, “Excuse me while I whip this out.” (alix, that one was for you, to make up for the missing the “that’s what she said” last night.)
Habs: “It’s ‘THEIR’ fucking goalie, mcguffers. And you’re right. SCORE!”
Tipp better pull Turco, or even I am going to be mad at him.
Okay, boys. That’s enough.
Tipp better pull Turco, or even I am going to be mad at him.
That bad, eh? I’m so sorry. Maybe you guys need some Keenan for a little while? He pulled Kiprusoff when it was just 3-1.
Tonight is a mess.
So, last week I missed two games and the Sabres won. This current game and the Ottawa game Saturday I watched. Hmm . . .
So it’s you, Meg!
Lindy pulling Lalime is a bit like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. And the game started so well, too.
I think so, Schnookie. Unfortunately, sitting in my bedroom with the cat with the game on in another room doesn’t seem to be sufficient. I think I might need to actually be out doing something to save them from my bad juju.
Tipp DID pull Turco! What a relief. We don’t have to go get Keenan. That was close! :D
Three games, three goalie pulls. What are the odds?
Unfortunately, sitting in my bedroom with the cat with the game on in another room doesn’t seem to be sufficient. I think I might need to actually be out doing something to save them from my bad juju.
Yeah, I speak from vast experience with that sort of thing. You can’t fool the Hockey Gods into thinking you’re otherwise occupied. (Nor can you fool them into thinking you’re legitimately in the bathroom when you’re really just skulking around in there hoping your team will score while you’re up. I’ve tried that many a time.)

You can’t turn the tv off and pretend you don’t care either. The hockey gods know you’ll turn it back on in 5 minutes.
You can, however, confuse the Hockey Gods by referring to “muffins” as “puffins” if muffins happen to be unlucky.
We don’t have to go get Keenan. That was close! :D
What a narrow escape!
You can’t turn the tv off and pretend you don’t care either.
*Flashes back to G7 of the 2001 SCF.* Nope, that never fools them.
Ralphie is bored shitless by this game.
Three games, three goalie pulls. What are the odds?
Pretty bad, because Turco NEVER gets pulled.
Oh, and sorry, but I need to rant. The third Oilers goal went through Price’s legs but basically stopped at the line. Ryan O’Byrne had his stick on it about to pull it out (heh. pull out) but an Oiler shoved Kostopolous into the net face first. So technically Kostopolous’s face caused the puck to go in. That wouldn’t count as a goal if I was the ruler of the world.
*Flashes back to G7 of the 2001 SCF.* Nope, that never fools them.
Crickets: “That’s right, mcguffers. Leave it.”
Well, if the Ottawa game didn’t force Crunchy into the fetal position in his living room, this one most certainly is. I’m sure he’s busy figuring out a way to play goal with one foot.
That wouldn’t count as a goal if I was the ruler of the world.
There are SO many goals that wouldn’t count if I was the ruler of the world!

Even the Habs announcers said the Sabres miss Ryan Miller right now. Like the Habs announcers have any right to comment on any other team.

And WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Isn’t hockey grand? :P
Isn’t hockey grand? :P
If by “grand” you mean “sucks balls”, then yes.
Seriously. Dwayne Roloson. Seriously.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Thanks Devils!!
We might just catch the Flames yet! YAY!
Isn’t hockey grand? :P
Hmm . . . let me think about that . . .
If by “grand” you mean “sucks balls”, then yes.
Um, yes, that’s exactly what I meant. :P
And you’re welcome, alix! I can’t believe we beat the BEST TEAM EVER. I mean, it’s the FLAMES. They’re AWESOME. :P
Tavares, “Excuse me while I whip this out.” (alix, that one was for you, to make up for the missing the “that’s what she said” last night.)
*Clap Clap Clap!* That was WONDERFUL!
Um, we might or might not have tivoed the Sabres game this evening, and we might or might not be watching it now… Is Eddie wearing a suit that’s quilted with silver thread?
Yeah, Schnookie. The Devils are going to have to scrub the Flames names off the Cup. Because they’re already on there. In solid platinum.
Phaneuf hits Holik. Pookie: “That’s the ugliest player-hitting-player combination the league can throw at us.”
Hee hee hee! That’s just comedic wizardy right there.

*Shifty eyes* Um, no, no. We were, um, watching to, um, feel the Sabres pain.
So, the Canucks gave me a new picture of Matty in a suit. It’s like they know how I have to be cheered up when they lose. But anyways, I made the mistake of making it my background and now I can’t get any work done. Heh.

I hate when my desktop picture is too hott for me to get any work done! I don’t put NHLers on my desktop at work, though, so I’m stuck using pictures from our flickr photostream. Oftentimes those are sorely disappointing to sit down to stare at all day at work.
I love a foxy penalty kill.
I have to find the link so you guys can see my desktop. It makes me laugh.

Yay hockey! I love hockey! Hockey is great!!!
But hey, at least one of our teams is winning. And a lot of Devils are on the Ice Trolls, so Hub is happy about that. And I’m thrilled that y’all beat Calgary!
The Habs are pretty. They’re almost making me forget about the debacle that was the Sabres’ game. Almost.
Alright, I found a link to the photo I use as my desktop. You have to go to the fifth thumbnail in the second row. Don’t worry, it’s from a newspaper. Not porn.

WOOOO HOOOO! It’s about time, too. Hockey was kind of crapola this weekend. :P
Myra, I appreciate how gracious you’re being! I’m normally a totally whiny little snot when hockey sucks for me.
mcguffers, that picture is FANTASTIC!

I know it’s probably from the shock of falling backwards, but when I need a study break, I’ll think of thinks Komi could be saying to cause that expression :D
There was hockey this weekend?
There might have been. I don’t entirely remember. (That’s a total lie — I remember distinctly the Tranny Brides game on Saturday, because we got to see Beaker wolfing down a power bar before taking a faceoff, and then Farter looking all Under Armoured and svelte after giving away the shirt off his back. Yummmmm…)
but when I need a study break, I’ll think of thinks Komi could be saying to cause that expression :D

I was considering the other day how bringing my laptop to work would mean I could take notes during dept meetings but then I realized I’d have to remember to make sure my Hotties of the NHL desktop and screensaver were turned off before any co-workers saw them. So… It’s paper and pens for me!

mcguffers — NOT funny.

I better go now before I get banned again! G’night everyone!
G’night, mcguffers! (And yeah, best to claim victory and depart the field. You’re treading on thin ice there… :P)
That was an awesome game. Sick goal by Zach.
So, I totally called out Greg about the comments about the Canucks mums trip on my blog, and then I realized it was actually that Ross McKeon guy that wrote that one. Darn. I called out McKeon instead, but it wasn’t quite the same. Heh.
Congrats to the Devils!
Hockey blows.
Razor’s already defending Morrison a lot. Sure, he’s already being picked on, but still.
A friend of mine was at the Devils game tonight and he found the Parise pin and he got a picture of chuck the duck.
Good morning, everyone!
KG, I’m so jealous of the Zach pin! AND a picture of Chuck the Duck? *swoons*
Razor’s already defending Morrison a lot. Sure, he’s already being picked on, but still.

I would like to note that since my baby was born, the Jackets are 2-0! Clearly, they will never lose again. :)
HI! I had a baby! Malcolm Kenneth was born 3/6/09 at 9lbs2ozs and 21 inches. The last week or so of pregnancy and of course since the birth I’ve been a bit too distracted for hockey, but I’m finally starting to feel more human! Woo!
CONGRATULATIONS, KAREN!!!!! And a big welcome to Malcolm! I’m so happy for you guys, and I’m glad to hear you’re feeling human now, too! What WONDERFUL news!!! Is he wonderful? Is motherhood going well? I’m just so thrilled for you!
CONGRATULATIONS, KAREN! And welcome, Malcolm! What wonderful news! Is he adorable?
Congratulations, Karen! Malcolm Kenneth is such a nice name. And what an unexpected bonus that he’s proving to be a good luck for your hockey team. :D
CONGRATULATIONS KAREN! I add a big welcome to the world to Malcolm as well.
Malcolm Kenneth really is a great name.
I wonder if we spread the word that he’s a good luck charm, will more CBJ fans start having babies? I mean, obviously that’s the key to getting the team on a winning roll…
Congratulation Karen, that’s wonderful! And hello Malcolm, welcome to this here place we like to call “Earth” :)
I wonder if we spread the word that he’s a good luck charm, will more CBJ fans start having babies? I mean, obviously that’s the key to getting the team on a winning roll…
Hmmm, interesting concept. I’m not sure I’d have a baby just to get the Devils on a roll though…
Congratulations, Karen! Malcom Kenneth is such a great name for the CBJ’s newest fan!
I’m not sure I’d have a baby just to get the Devils on a roll though…
Heh. No, I think it only works for the Blue Jackets. :P
Heh. No, I think it only works for the Blue Jackets. :P
Thank GOD. Well, go forth BJs Fans, and procreate :D
Thank GOD.
*Whispering* I know, right?
*Much louder* But really, congratulations, Karen!
OU! Congratulations Karen!!! Malcolm Kenneth is great name for a future hockey player and it will have a great ring to it when you use it when he gets in trouble! And 3/6/09 is such a cool birthdate!
How are you feeling? 9lbs2oz is a pretty hefty boy! He should start sleeping through the night a little earlier than most, being that big.
it will have a great ring to it when you use it when he gets in trouble!

Oh my gosh, I just remembered! Today is ANTM Make Over Day! WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Oh my gosh, I just remembered! Today is ANTM Make Over Day! WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Thank you for being my ANTM Sven! Tonight is totally going to be bad reality TV night with ANTM and Idol.
Last week, I was a little perturbed with the girl who was from Buffalo. The way she was carrying on portrayed the city as nothing but a cesspool of hopelessness. Something tells me she won’t be on the list for an endorsement from the Buffalo Convention & Visitors Bureau.
Amy, that Buffalo chick’s breakdown about having to go back to Buffalo was so depressing and uncomfortable. It was like straight out of Season 2 of the Wire. I wanted to say to her, “Buck up, chick! Buffalo has great people! Work together to make the city better, don’t just leave!” I… don’t think she would have listened to me. Heh.
But more importantly, based on the preview, I think we’re going to finally get some make-over drama! It’s been since… Well, since the beauty queen quit over her haircut that we’ve seen good make-over drama! I cannot wait!
MAKEOVER DAY!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude, the chick from Buffalo was staggering. A friend of ours emailed us to see what we thought of the episode, and Pookie responded that she thought the breakdown at the end, where the girl just wept that she couldn’t go back to Buffalo, was as devastating as anything on “The Wire”. Who knew ANTM could pull off such pathos?
I should have known that Pookie is standing right behind me, and could have mentioned her Wire comparison herself. Heh.
I should have known that Pookie is standing right behind me

Ooh, you’re right, alix! I didn’t notice it consciously, but my subconscious was like, “That team sounds SO rad!”
Who knew ANTM could pull off such pathos?
And the pathos mixed in amongst all the crazy really was jarring.
And the pathos mixed in amongst all the crazy really was jarring.
It was! It was like a PSA telling us that crazy, crazy reality-show contestants are humans too, somewhere deep down inside.
Ooh, I’m sorry I didn’t see this earlier, but I just read the discussion you guys had last night, and if you liked Mcguffers pic of Komisarek frightening Ruutu, then you’ll like this one too:
Komisarek and Ruutu
It’s a classic!
Wow! Komisarek is quite a champ at making Ruutu look horrified!
I love the kid’s face on this one…
Hey guys! What’s happenin’?
Congrats Karen! One more hockey fan in the world! Woo Hoo!
I’ve never seen ANTM, and I most likely never will, but I’ve got a story about it. We have a new girl starting here on Monday and she came by to meet-and-greet everyone last week. Apparently she has a daughter on ANTM (or at least trying out….I don’t know how these things work). Once I find out her daughters name, I’ll let you guys know, and you can tell me if I should be afraid.
Also, I’ve got seeds sprouting! WOOOO!!! (Got a late start, but still! Seedlings!!)
Ooh, yes, do find out her name! That would be too funny! I have to say, though, if I were a parent (*shudder*), I think the last thing I’d want for my daughter would be an appearance on ANTM! :D Still, it’s some fiiiiiine television.
And hooray for seeds sprouting! Isn’t it just the most exciting thing ever?! I’m totally, completely, and utterly freaking out about our seeds. The onions were going gorgeously — 100% germination in like 5 days or so — but then when I moved them to their sunny window, Matsui went and pulled 1/3 of one of the trays up. (The rest all looking awesome, though.) Then I went and started the peppers late and decided to plant them in leftover trays from when Boomer buys ravioli from the pasta shop. For some reason I’m convinced this means they’re going to fail miserably. No amount of reminding myself that peppers are really slow to germinate is making me feel better. They’ve only been planted for 5 days and yet I’m so stressed out that they’re not doing anything. Not amount of reminding myself that we successfully direct showed a shitload of peppers in our first garden is making me feel better. Basically, I just won’t feel good about them until I can see little peppers. Come on, peppers! GROW, dammit! (I’m only going to stress more this weekend when I start the tomatoes. We so don’t really have enough room in the sunny window for them; we desperately need a green house.
WOO HOOO! Congrats on the seedlings! What’s sprouted so far? (I had not even CONSIDERED being spazzy about our pepper seedlings…)
And hooray for seeds sprouting! Isn’t it just the most exciting thing ever?!
It is pretty damn cool! I’ve got basil and tomatoes popping up! It’s been so warm out I just throw my seed tray out on the patio in the morning and bring it in at night. I direct sowed a bunch of greens as well, they haven’t sprouted yet, but I’m not too worried about ‘em.
I think my zucchini is about to pop up too. It must be one big mother, because the soil in the little pot is forming a tiny volcano looking shape.
I love that the pasta trays are freaking you out. Your peppers will be pre-marinated!
Awww! A little zucchini sprout dirt volcano! How exciting! It definitely sounds like the andrew farm and gardens is doing better than IPB’s farm and gardens these days. :D
It definitely sounds like the andrew farm and gardens is doing better than IPB’s farm and gardens these days.
Nah…It’s just plugging along.
It is exciting though. I’ve actually never tried to grow from seeds before, so this is all new to me. Not too worried about it though. I figure if I blow it, I’ll just go buy some seedlings.
That’s a good attitude. And really, how can you blow it? You just put shit in the dirt and let it grow!
And really, how can you blow it? You just put shit in the dirt and let it grow!
Precisely!
And I don’t know, I just figured I’d find a way to blow it. Start too early. Or too late. Or somtehing else.
These are your first seeds? Sweet!
These are your first seeds? Sweet!
Yup! I’ve always stuck with seedlings…they’re just so easy.
Not this year though!
We’ve started too early and too late many times over! It’s really, really hard to screw seedlings up. :D
Congratulations, Karen!! Malcolm Kenneth sounds like the perfect baby boy/future Blue Jacket!
I’m so happy for you!
Thanks everybody! He is pretty perfect indeed!
Little Malcolm is going to have a favourite Blue Jacker in no time!
I think his favorite at the moment is Tyutin, because little boys just can’t help loving fart jokes.
I wonder if we spread the word that he’s a good luck charm, will more CBJ fans start having babies? I mean, obviously that’s the key to getting the team on a winning roll…
Heh, I’m not saying that was a reason in favor of having the baby, but it is a pretty rockin’ side effect. :)
And 3/6/09 is such a cool birthdate!
It was my favorite possible birthdate all along, but I promise I didn’t hold out past midnight on purpose. I was more than willing to have a 3/5 baby.
Karen, it sounds like your family is in fine form! I’m so happy for you, Malcolm, and Tyutin, who appreciates every fan he can get, even the ones laughing at fart jokes. :D
And 3/6/09 is such a cool birthdate!
Whenever little Malcom’s applying for credit or something and the person asks for his birthdate, he’ll say, “Three six nine…”
Then that person should reply, in song, “Twelve fifteen eightee-een.”
Then he says, “Twenty-one twenty-four twenty-seven.”
Then they both say, in unison, “Thirty.”
Patty, I hope that happens often for Malcolm!
Good morning, everyone! I hope we’re all having great Thursdays, and that we’re recovering from Makeover Night reasonably well. :D
I have to complain, though, that the hockey schedule is killing me. I am not fond of this “there are no games on Monday, 100 on Tuesday, none on Wednesday, 100 on Thursday…” approach.

My Thursday has gotten slightly better. I think I’ve recovered from Makeover Night. Ms. Jay wearing Aminat’s weave as a coat was killing me, as was his Moe hair at panel.
I’m not a fan of Thursday games in general, as the games eff with my DVR. I have to record Grey’s Anatomy and Hell’s Kitchen for my mother. Since my DVR can only record two things at a time, and needs to remain on the channel of one of the program’s it’s recording, I’m forced to watch The Office on Hulu and the Sabres game on the small SD tv in another room.
Ms. Jay wearing the weave was hilarious! And I loved that they booted the girl who declared there was no way to make her ugly. Her confessional on the way out the door, where she was all, “Hey, I’m prettier than all these girls” was priceless. Way to learn from the criticism, kid!
And your tivo situation sounds brutal, Amy! I hate when that happens. We’ll have the occasional Wednesday night when Pookie’s working late where we’ll be tivoing two games, and I just have to sit in bleak, bitter silence, since we only have one TV.

That’s what your iPod is for! If there’s no game on when I get home the first thing I do is plug it in and piss off the neighbors.
Oh, well, yes, “bleak, bitter silence” is shorthand for “listening to my iPod.” It’s just bleak and bitter because there’s no hockey on. :P (Boomer doesn’t much like the music I listen to, though, and she is a bit of a tag-along, so if I’m sitting on the couch in the living room, listening to music and IMing with Pookie, Boomer will sit in her armchair with her sound-reduction headphones on. It always seems so hilariously stand-offish.)
So I haven’t seen this in da’ media (word) yet, so I will be the first to put this out. If the Devils beat the ‘Yotes tonight (which I put as a big IF since PHX waxed us 5-0 last year at the Rawk), Marty gets to try and tie Roy’s record in Montreal. Yeah, yeah, but if the Devils can somehow win both games, Marty would come back to the Rawk and try to break the record on 3/17/09. St. Patrick’s Day! Get it? I really should write copy for the NHL.

I think they were talking about that on NHL Live yesterday — I love the poetry of it!
Okay so my friend once again luckiest guy ever and saw Parise driving out of the parking structure after the skate this morning…He was driving a Chevy Avalanche with Minnesota plates…he lives in New Jersey! He should totally have Jersey plates.
he lives in New Jersey! He should totally have Jersey plates.
If NHLers all got plates for whatever state they’re working in, we’d never be able to tell whose car was whose when we stumble across players’ parking lots!
St. Patrick’s Day! Get it?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Nice! Did you hear Chico talking about “Roy-alty” at the end of the last game? We’ve been calling Roy the Cat that all week.
Ms. Jay wearing Aminat’s weave as a coat was killing me
I wish Ms. Jay and Sutan were my BFFs.
True true. But apparently Travis is adorable (my words not his) in his little black car with Jersey plates.
Boomer will sit in her armchair with her sound-reduction headphones on. It always seems so hilariously stand-offish.
That is pretty awesome. Poor Boomer! (and honestly, how can she not like your music? It’s not like you’re rocking out to thrash metal or anything!)
Get it? I really should write copy for the NHL.
Morgan, that is genius. The NHL would be lucky to have you!
If NHLers all got plates for whatever state they’re working in, we’d never be able to tell whose car was whose when we stumble across players’ parking lots!
So true. And due to some astute observations from another blogger, I now know that Crunchy drives a sporty little BMW with Michigan plates. Never mind the irony that Mr. Michigan-Michigan-Rah-Rah-Rah wasn’t driving a product manufactured by either one of Michigan’s well known automakers.
(and honestly, how can she not like your music? It’s not like you’re rocking out to thrash metal or anything!)
I know! I can’t really figure it out. I’m like, “Honestly, you have a problem with Will Oldham???”
But apparently Travis is adorable (my words not his) in his little black car with Jersey plates.
Travis isn’t a scofflaw like Zach!
I can’t believe Crunchy is contributing to Detroit’s demise! Shame on him! (I suppose this further supports the oft-repeated theory that, in fact, he doesn’t want to play for the Red Wings… :P)
I know! I can’t really figure it out. I’m like, “Honestly, you have a problem with Will Oldham???”
I hear ya. I must listen to somewhere around 150 different genres and I think my folks and I agree on maybe 3 or 4 artists. Oh well…
I can’t believe Crunchy is contributing to Detroit’s demise! Shame on him!
In his defense, he did just “buy” a hybrid truck. He was spotted with the BMW during pre-camp.
The Roy-alty moniker is kind of cute. Does that come with a complementary playing of “God Save the King”?

:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Yeah, but you also listen to lots of crazy stuff! I mean, it just paints the rest of what you listen to with a different brush. Your parents are probably terrified of all the music you listen to! :P
It’s not like you’re rocking out to thrash metal or anything!
That would be me :D I saw Overkill, the last surviving real thrash band (who happen to be from New Jersey), in Portland last year and it was great!

Well, it’s cute until you try to say it. I mean, “Wah-alty” doesn’t really roll off the tongue… :P

Probably. I just prefer to paint them with the “old farts” brush.

Mike, sounds like you’d fit in just fine with the rest of the Sabres locker room.

Heh. Well, yeah. That’s what we do to Boomer.

They probably listen to all that new no good stuff, not the good 80s/early 90s music. The Sabres certainly haven’t played lately like they’re listening to hyper speed music. Being an old guy, I pretty much stopped adding new groups/artists to my collection around 2000, with occasional exceptions for Rammstein and some blues.

Well, I wish I could help you out man, but I’ve got veeeery limited metal skillz. Let me know if you need any punk rock. I do love me some Rammstein though. Saw ‘em at the Palladium in 1996 and have since used them as a measuring stick for every live perfomance I have seen since. (And honestly, no band has really topped them)
So my boss is overseas this week, and I’m just rattling around here at the office. Normally this is delightful, but can I just say, the days are drrrrraaaaaagging, and I’ve reached the end of the interwebs, and I’m totally bored.
And that’s my story.
I was bored until just now when I made myself look like a total idiot in from of the tech guys. Man, I hate when I assume someone else made sure the printer was plugged in before reporting that it’s broken! D’oh!

I have only got to see them on DVD but they would definitely be a tough concert to top. I have started listening to more punk lately with all the bad news around these days, I listened to Dead Kennedy’s Plastic Surgery Disasters a couple of weeks ago for the first time in probably 15 years and it still holds up.
Schnookie, you are right about today being very slow. You know it’s bad when you reach the end of the interwebs before lunch like I have done today. I am so bored I think I will check out Clemmensen’s stats in the AHL as it’s been a couple of days since I said anything bad about him…

I come out of a meeting to find a tweet saying that The Hipster Emporium is opening a Buffalo branch for this weekend only. Now I can get a boob hoodie of my very own and meet PapaCrunchy!
And that’s my story.
Chico is gonna play in an alumni game!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A one-weekend-only Hipster Emporium-athon? AWESOME! Can you get me a boob hoodie while you’re there, Amy? I’ll probably need it in an XXXXXL, since they look like they run small…
(Say hi to PapaCrunchy for me, too. He’s quite the silver fox. :D)
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! Chico in the alumni game! After seeing him demonstrate his butterfly during the inaugural “Ask The Announcers” (or whatever that feature is on MSG+), I’m not convinced that’s a good idea, though. :P
I am back with my briefly researched Clemmensen report, the results of which will surprise no one. His record in Lowell for the year is 5-4-1 with a stratospheric 3.57 GAA and his save percentage is a not so stratospheric .892. He hasn’t played since a 6-1 loss to Portland on March 1.
In other Lowell news, a Lowell DPW snow plow and sand truck caught fire and burned along Middlesex Street on Monday. The police chief states that the incident is still under investigation and that Scott Clemmensen is not a suspect at this time.

Well, the good news is he can probably still do color even if he’s in a full-body cast.
Ooooooh! I wish I could have a boob hoodie! I also wish MY franchise goalie would open a clothing store with overpriced clothes that make me look like an Italian mobster/drug dealer.(Just kiddin Lui! Luff you!)
I have only got to see them on DVD but they would definitely be a tough concert to top.
If you get a chance to see them, don’t pass it up. I wouldn’t even call it so much a concert, it’s more of an “experience.”
I’m really surprised that Lou didn’t move either Weekes or Clemmer at the deadline. I doubt Clemmers value ever has been/will be higher than it was at that point. I wonder if Lou was being greedy, or if there really is just not that great of a market this year.
Well, the good news is he can probably still do color even if he’s in a full-body cast.

He really said that? Must have missed that quote of the day…
Mike, no, Clemmer didn’t say that (at least not that I heard). I guess Padma Lakshmi said it in an interview about her divorce from Salman Rushdie. It does sound like something Clemmer would say, though, doesn’t it?
That reference went right over my head, I totally bought it and thought he really said it, it sounded perfect. You guys could work for Mystery Science Theater (one of my favorite shows).
I’m going to the Sabres’ game tonight! If you see Derek Roy get hit in the head with a shoe, it was me!! (…. I wonder if they’ll give my shoe back)

Hello, IPB! Hi! Yay, I have time to stop by!
Saw ‘em at the Palladium in 1996 and have since used them as a measuring stick for every live perfomance I have seen since.
I strangely love Rammstein and I still have never seen them live. If every member of your band has a license to do pyrotechnics, I would safely assume it’s worth the price of the ticket to go see ‘em live.
I have nothing salient to add to the hockey discussion since I’ve had no time to actually watch hockey as of late; but it seems even our local writers have given up on the team for this season. That and the whole team is apparently trying to kill Mike Modano with overwork.
The NHL could pay all of us to do Mystery NHL Theater!
THIS? Would be amazing.
Yay! Hey Caitlin! How’s it going? Other than busy, of course. :D
It’s going well! Busy, busy, busy, but it’s finally slacking off. Work’s going okay and my weekends have cleared up again. (We’re almost done planting things! …And I got a peach tree as an early birthday present!)
How are things at Stately IPB Manor, then? I see the quilting’s coming along smashingly! (I knew y’all’s stuff would turn out looking amazing. :D)
EEEEE!!!! A peach tree? That’s awesome! How exciting! I’m glad that you’re settling back into some semblance of normalcy.
And things here are just ducky! I’m getting some crazy spring fever, though. Stupid sunshine getting all bright and making me think it’s warm out… :P
(I’m also heading home now. WOO HOO!!! Nap time!)
What up Caitlin? Glad to see you’re back to the land of the livin’!

You would be punctilious in assuming that.
I’m glad that you’re settling back into some semblance of normalcy.
Slowly, but surely. I haven’t had time to cross-stitch at all! It’s been nuts. (Although I did pick up Sleepy Hollow last night and I will adore Boomer forever for that Anchor floss. Stuff is awesome.)
EEEEE!!!! A peach tree?
Yup! I was going to take pictures of it yesterday but it’s been raining like the dickens down here, so I haven’t had a chance.
I’m sorry you have spring fever, but just think.. you’ll get some mileage out of those nice, kicky quilts before spring totally hits.
Have a GREAT nap, Schnookie! I am envious.
What up Caitlin? Glad to see you’re back to the land of the livin’!
Hey, andrew! I haven’t seen you around in forever. Hope all’s going well with you!
You would be punctilious in assuming that.
Well, Rammstein is going to have to wait; the next concert I’m going to is to see Morrissey (hopefully).
The NHL could pay all of us to do Mystery NHL Theater!
Where do we sign up?

Aww man, I thought for sure you’d spot the Kingpin reference, Caitlin! Ah well, now everyone just thinks I need to buy a thesaurus. Not that I don’t…
Morrissey huh? Sounds cool. Let me know how his hairstyle is holding up.
