– The pre-game features the interviews the Devils filmed during training camp about Marty breaking the records. Man, if we’d known then that the record still wouldn’t be tied by March 14th…
– We cannot get enough of Marty’s comments about everyone emulating Roy’s style instead of his. We’ve noticed since he’s come back that we’re constantly confused by Marty’s hybrid style. He seems to us to be standing up more than before he got hurt, but surely we’re just so used to seeing only the butterfly that when a goalie stays upright it looks foreign. Marty? Don’t ever go away again.
– A pre-game graphic informs us that Marty’s lost 15 games in Montreal. No the fuck way. Really?! That’s got to be a typo, right?
– The pre-game is going on forever. Are the Habs trying to ice Marty?
FIRST PERIOD
– The Canadiens are taking zillions of penalties. Are they trying to ice Madden?
– WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just as we are getting ready to crack that the PP units seem not to care much about Marty’s record, Patty cranks a point shot to beat Halak on the seven-second two-man advantage. It’s 1-0 Devils, and really, who ever believes that’s going to happen when Chico starts going on before the draw that if the Devils can win the offensive-zone faceoff, they’ll have a few chances on the 5-on-3 during that handful of seconds? We sure don’t, and Patty sure showed us.
– Even our black hearts think it’s cute that Denis Brodeur is working the game tonight for the Habs.
– Madden gets a breakaway and shoots wide. Chico posits that his shot was affected by a bad slash he suffered on his hand in the early moments of the game. Schnookie: “Or maybe Madden’s just not a very good shooter.”
– WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s record night tonight! Rollie gets his 300th career goal on a monster slapshot from just inside the blue line that Halak completely misses. It’s 2-0 Devils, and Pookie cracks, “The ghosts of the Forum want Marty to win tonight.”
– Aw, bummer. Plekanec scores after the Devils crumble in the face of Montreal cycle. 2-1 Devils, and the ghosts of the Forum say to Pookie, “HA!”
– Patty has picked up a goal and an assist tonight, and with a few minutes left in the period, MSG+ gives us a stat screen informing us that Patty’s now tied with Johnny Mac at 701 career points. WOO HOOOO!!! Of course, Marty will probably race down to the other end of the ice to stop Patty from picking up any more points, just so he doesn’t steal his record-breaking thunder. HAHAHAHAHA! Just kidding. It’s not like Patty’s Jarome Iginla or like the Devils are the Flames. No one cares about the Devils’ scoring leader, because they’re just not a team with a winning tradition like the Flames.
– The Habs fans are booing a goalie interference call against Tanguay, and we can’t figure out what their problem with the call is. Pookie: “He basically skated up next to him, kicked him over, and tried to kill him like Mystique.” Pause. “For all I know, he is Mystique in Tanguay form.” Schnookie: “Ew. Why would she be looking like him?” Pookie, outraged: “To kill Marty!”
– The period comes to an end with the Devils on yet another PP. They don’t really manage to set up much of a shot, though, until the little siren sounds, but if there’d been two more seconds in the period, Zach would have been able to convert on an open net. Pookie says sadly, “Zach would have scored there! Stupid time. Marching on.” Pause. “I think I’m going to leave this last swallow of wine in my glass.”
– We get a Jimmy Cavallo interview with Rolston, and Rollie is, as always, all skeevy winks.
SECOND PERIOD
– Schnookie: “So far, I have nothing to say about this period.” Pookie: “Me neither. I can’t believe it’s already over four minutes old.” Zubrus tries to carry the puck in off a turnover in the neutral zone and beat a defender one-on-one, but fires his shot lamely into the guy’s shinpads and peels off. And we still have nothing to say.
– The net gets knocked off the moorings on a play deep in the Devils zone, and as the Devils retrieve the puck and carry it back up the ice, the whistle finally blows because Marty isn’t putting the net back in place. Every other goalie in the league would have fixed it there, but Marty’s all, “Nope. That’s not my job.”
– The Habs are warming to the task here (or perhaps the Devils are cooling to it?) and Marty has to make a save that is only the coolest thing we’ve seen all day. He gets beat through the five-hole, but because he’s in a half-butterfly, his back leg just sweeps to the side and kicks the puck to safety behind his back. Have we mentioned yet that we totally heart Marty?
– We aren’t liking this period nearly as much as we liked the first. The Habs are getting sustained pressure at will. We’re curled in fetal positions, whimpering weakly, hoping against hope that the Devils might remember that they’re supposed to be playing hockey some time soon.
– Ouch. That period was brutal, but at least the Canadiens didn’t actually score. We suppose it was nice of the Devils to let Marty have to be the story of the game if it ends up being a game where the story would be all about him anyway.
THIRD PERIOD
– During the intermission, Jimmy Cavallo decides things are a bit too Montreal tonight and calls Denis Brodeur “Donny”. “Ah,” thinks Jimmy, “Now we’re bringing the Jersey!”
– The Iron Boar is fired, taking a penalty for firing the puck over the glass. We get a look at Sutter on the bench, and his facial expression mirrors our own.
– No matter how crappy we’re feeling about a game, Chico’s always Chico. During a stoppage on the Montreal PP, he informs us that George Hainsworth’s nephew lives in New Haven. Thanks, Chico!
– Patty has a beautiful steal which leads to a great opportunity for him to do some nifty toe-drags before teeing up point 702. Or not. Halak, it seems, doesn’t want to end up the answer to the triva question everyone will be asking fifty years from now.
– Paulie puts on a display of puck-carrying-d-man awesomeness. It doesn’t come to anything, but PaulieMartinNation swoons nonetheless.
– WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have we mentioned tonight that we heart the Poppers? They put on an awesome shift that includes brilliant puck pursuit by Zach, a foxy wraparound sequence by Travis, and then an unstoppable wrist shot from the slot by Langer. 3-1 Devils. Pookie, by the way, has spend this entire game thinking the Devils had one more goal than they did, so she exclaims happily, “Now it’s 3-1!”
– Chico informs us that Marty is “the most popular Montreal athlete to never play for Montreal.” That… doesn’t seem that impressive. We’re pretty sure “Popular Montreal Athletes Who Never Played For Montreal” is a pamphlet the stewardesses hand out in “Airplane!”.
– The second half of this period has been played much more to our liking. The fans are booing lustily, just the way the Devils coaching staff drew up.
– And when the final horn sounds on 551 for Marty, the entire crowd gets on their feet and gives him a huge ovation. That? Is awesome. The Devils players pile on to congratulate him, then he takes a solo bow to the appreciative crowd, then skates off the ice through an applauding line of his teammates and coaches. And we’re not going to say we cried, but we’re not going to say we didn’t.
NHL Network picked up this game, AWESOME!!! I love spending almost $300 for Center Ice and Center Ice Online and not being able to watch a game! Tonight, I get to just listen to streaming audio for free!
Awe Travis is so cute without his helmet on. :)
Dude, Frisby, are you serious? You poor thing! Stupid fucking NHL Network.
Everytime I watch a Habs game, they have a new sweater. They are definitely taking advantage of this centennial merchandising scheme.
Frisby try this:
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/habsvision
So we’ve been wondering all afternoon how much Marty’s put up on the board for the guy who gets the gamewinner…
Frisby, I cannot tell you how sorry I am that you’re not getting the game! Is it streaming online anywhere?
They are definitely taking advantage of this centennial merchandising scheme.
You’re such a cynic! It’s just centennial celebration! Please! The Montreal Canadiens are nothing if not pure of heart. :P
Dude, Frisby, are you serious?
Dead serious. Fuck Time Warner Cable.
Stupid fucking NHL Network.
Well that was a lot shorter and cleaner than the “sentence” I used when I couldn’t find the game on TV.
mcguffers, you’ve made Jean Beliveau cry by suggesting that the proud organization of the Canadiens would be doing something just to make an extra buck or two! Shame on you!
The Montreal Canadiens are nothing if not pure of heart. :P
I’d say something snarky, but I don’t want the Russian Mob tracking down my computer.
I am horrified and outraged on your behalf, Frisby. It really is galling that there are so many ways to watch a game now, and they keep inventing new ways to make it so you can’t see the ones you really want.
I’d say something snarky, but I don’t want the Russian Mob tracking down my computer.

WOOO! Pretty pass by Travis.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
KG, I love you.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I was not expecting that! I called a final score of 400-0, Montreal.
I have a feeling it’s not going to be good watching the Habs and the Sabres play before I go out drinking.
A plastic star to KG for saving Frisby’s evening! Wooo!
KG, I love you.
WOO HOOOO!!!! I’m so glad KG found the solution!
If you ever get stuck again here’s a good website to go to, there’s usually always someone with a feed for every game:
http://www.myp2pforum.eu/nhl-icehockey/36109-ice-hockey-today-03-14-streaming-discussion.html
“A plastic star to KG for saving Frisby’s evening! Wooo!”
Uh oh better hide it from Zach.
Now I just need to break out the 100 ft ethernet cable (wireless is lagging).
Uh oh better hide it from Zach.
Actually, that’s a good way to lure him to you. He can’t resist plastic stars!
Uh oh better hide it from Zach.
Zach’s Internal Monologue: “Plastic star or money from Marty? Plastic star or money from Marty? What on earth do I do?”
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! WHAAAAA?????
Koharski is retiring? Noooooooooooooo!!!

“Actually, that’s a good way to lure him to you.”
Hmmm, definitely like that idea. How else should we lure him?
Frisby if the feed gets too slow there may be more that will be posted throughout that webpage that I posted.
Cheering against the Devils tonight is the equivalent of saying Giguere deserved the 2003 Conn Smythe! :PPPP
They should give Koharski a gold donut instead of a gold watch.
The picture from the main CBC play action camera is terrible. The ice is grey and all the players and the puck have a glowing white outline.
They should give Koharski a gold donut instead of a gold watch.
ZING!

Ouch!
Evening all! I wake up after sleeping through my sickbed alarm to watch this game? Psshht. I’m going back to bed.

:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Oh, hope you feel better soon, Kristin! A hearty thank you to your boys in orange for beating the Rangers today!
Thanks, KG! It’s not lagging now that I’m plugged in. It seems to be about two minutes behind, but I won’t complain.
I’m so sorry to hear you’re sick, Kristin! And hearty thanks, indeed, to the Trannies. That game was delightful.
Dude, Habs, no hitting Marty. A-holes.
You’re welcome Pookie! (or, as I just typed, Pokke and Pookei) This stupid post nasal drip is making me unable to type!
How was the game? I had to work and chose to be home for this lousy game instead of the Flyers.
The game was deeeelightful. Beaker was wronged several times over, Biron stood on his head, and the Rangers color guy could not stop oohing-and-aahing over Farter’s hot hot hot wrist shot.
Also, Pokke seems much edgier than Pookie. If I ever go on ANTM, I’ll go by Pokke.
Well I’m sure tomorrow’s game will suck, since I’ll actually be able to watch it. Did the Rangers guy describe Farter’s wrist shot as hot hot hot, or are you paraphrasing? Or was there just actual oohing and aahing?
Gosh, the Habs love being on the PK, eh?
I don’t know why they keep calling Delay of Game penalties! Markov and Komisarek are just making sure the crowd at this game gets plenty of commemorative pucks. What the heck?
The Flyers and Rangers are the game of the week again?
Markov and Komisarek are just making sure the crowd at this game gets plenty of commemorative pucks.
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
They are sooooo thoughtful!
The Flyers and Rangers are the game of the week again?
You bet! The other option was Boston/Pittsburgh, so we shouldn’t complain too much. :P
(Actually, I voted for Flyers/Rangers in an NHL Fan Poll thingie. I figured I’d rather see it on NBC than have to watch the Trannies on the Rangers feed.)
(And really, aren’t you happy to see them again? Last time we got to luxuriate in the deliciousness that was Beaker’s 3-on-5 shorty.)
Don Cherry’s giving Brodeur a nice little bit of man love right now.
Speaking of man love, Colby Armstrong is either trying to kiss Kaleta or pull him closer to smell his lip gloss.
Holy crap, Grapes suit jacket is only one color, a not too loud green.
CheeseTed loves how Kaleta’s lip gloss smells.
Kristin, I was paraphrasing. What he actually said was “the Flyers are just SO good at finding the open man” every single time Farter stepped up and fired his hot hot hot wrist shot. I figure the fact that he said it every time meant that he was thinking, “Damn, that Farter is HAWT!”
I think the Habs are trying to get all the crappy games out of their system, so when I see them in person next week it will be the BEST.GAME.EVER.
Yeah, this fever is making me delusional!
I was reading about how touched Rob Shick was when he ref’d his last game last week. The arena gave him an ovation and everything. He was shocked. I always liked him.
Koharski? Not sure. I should probably be thrilled he’s retiring, but he’s always good for some entertainment.
Joe Michelletti clearly wishes Farter was his open man.
Colby Armstrong is either trying to kiss Kaleta or pull him closer to smell his lip gloss.
And then Goose stepped in to confirm that it does indeed smell like cupcakes and not peppermints.
I think the Habs are trying to get all the crappy games out of their system, so when I see them in person next week it will be the BEST.GAME.EVER.
CLEARLY!!
On an unrelated note, are you taking any drugs for that fever kristin, cause when you start trying to catch unicorns, you should start worrying
I think the Habs are trying to get all the crappy games out of their system, so when I see them in person next week it will be the BEST.GAME.EVER.
There is NO QUESTION it will be the BEST.GAME.EVER. The Devils actually normally play really wildly awesome games for us when we go on the road to see them. Like the time Pando got a short-handed game-winner in LA. Or that 6-5 beer-soaked mousepad extravaganza in Pittsburgh. Or the time the drive up to Hartford took us six hours because it was the middle of a Nor’Easter, and we ended up seeing the Devils lose 6-1. Wait, no. Not the last one.
Don Cherry’s giving Brodeur a nice little bit of man love right now.
a nice little bit? He said, “why are they teaching kids the butterfly and not this style?” at least three times.
Did anyone hear if Travis is really related to Terry Sawchuk or not?

:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I went to two Sabres games this month, and seeing as how the last Sabres’ game I went to was in the Aud, I figured they’d celebrate my presence with a huge blowout loss. I was pleasantly surprised to see them beat the Panthers and the Coyotes.
KG, TG reported yesterday that Travis is fairly certain he’s not related to Sawchuck.
a nice little bit? He said, “why are they teaching kids the butterfly and not this style?” at least three times.
I hate it when I agree with Don Cherry, but seriously. (I guess it’s just because any old dolt can play butterfly, but it actually takes talent to play like Marty. BOO-YAH! :P)
“why are they teaching kids the butterfly and not this style?”
Because the butterfly is easy and doesn’t require extra talent, vision, and athleticism?
cause when you start trying to catch unicorns, you should start worrying
No unicorns yet mcguffers, just some guy in a bright green suit talking crazy talk! Time for some more tylenol….
The Devils actually normally play really wildly awesome games for us when we go on the road to see them.
I can only hope. My Flyers road record is 0-2, but technically this is a home game for the Habs, so I’m not sure how that will mesh with my jinxing powers.
Because the butterfly is easy and doesn’t require extra talent, vision, and athleticism?
Wait, I’m sorry, did I say that? I meant, “It’s just the system.”
I was pleasantly surprised to see them beat the Panthers and the Coyotes.
Isn’t that strange? After we gave up our season tickets, the Devils made a point of losing TERRIBLY every time we’d go see them. I think people across North Jersey still have nightmares about the last game we saw them play at the Meadowlands. But so far we’re 3-0 at The Rawk.
Amy, Goose should know for a fact seeing as how he caught Patty stealing his Cupcakes Lipsmackers out of his locker!
Pookie where’d he say that? I totally missed that. :(

Tee hee!
Seeing Teppo and Lalime looking foxy in suits at last night’s Aces & Blades charity event has been the only highlight of this game so far.
EEEEEEE! I want Luke Schenn to ride me out of the play!
The Leafs are beating those already have their names on the Cup in platinumes by 2! AHAHAHA.
Oh and Go Marty!
Wait, I’m sorry, did I say that? I meant, “It’s just the system.”

The Devils won every game that I’ve been to this season! 1-0 at home and 1-0 on the road. Ok, it’s a very small sample size, but still.

Better than me! The Sabres are 1-0 at home and 0-1 on the road with me in attendance. And given that both those games were against the Islanders that’s really kind of sad.

And Frisby, that’s a perfectly cromulent sample size you’re rocking there! I mean, I think our sample size of games we saw the Devils lose terribly at CAA after we gave up our season tickets was 1 game, too… (But it was a REALLY bad game.)
they showed video from that? How did I miss that?
It was about a :30 clip between whistles. Hank also looked foxy as well. He was very smiley.
You went Amy? I’m so jealous! How was it?
I didn’t go. I’m not fancy enough to go to events like that.
I’m 4-0 at GM Place. They’ve always been awesome games too. I should call up Gillis and tell him I should always have a ticket…
It was about a :30 clip between whistles.
In the 2nd? (I need to know how far to rewind during intermission.)
Oh, and whooooooooooooo! Roy!
Amy, I figured if I went, I’d probably trip over a stool, knock over something and trip Tim Connolly, breaking his ankle.
Okay so on Travis’ wiki page it says this: The rumor around the practice arena is that practical joker Zajac is behind the infamous “Taffy In The Shoes Incidents” last season.
How do I miss all of this?!
Meg, if you’re on the Buffalo feed, it was in the 2nd period.
Yeah Schnookie. Somehow a “Poor Clemmer” from you wouldn’t sound sincere
The rumor around the practice arena is that practical joker Zajac is behind the infamous “Taffy In The Shoes Incidents” last season.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That’s FANTASTIC! Travis’s wikipedia vandal is BRILLIANT!
Meg, if you’re on the Buffalo feed, it was in the 2nd period.
I am. Thanks!
I’m wondering why I never heard about this infamous taffy incident before.
Afinogenov may just manage to get a contract from someone next year yet.
Travis’s wikipedia vandal is BRILLIANT!
Now, if Zach’s entry comes up with a reference to a turtle butler, we’ll know for sure Shanny reads IPB!
AIEEEEEEHHHH! Jokinen is scary! He looks like an angry baby!
Based on everything I’ve been hearing from mcguffers and kristin, I thought the Habs sucked. What is going on here???
He looks like an angry baby!
Exactly! He TOTALLY creeps me out!
I’m thinking there’s two vandals. The person who put the thing about the two being cousins on Sawchuk’s page (which is now gone) has one IP address but there’s no record of them putting the taffy thing on Zajac’s page. This is pretty hilarious-I hope someone asks Travis about taffy.
Based on everything I’ve been hearing from mcguffers and kristin, I thought the Habs sucked. What is going on here???
Yeah, like we’re not shocked too!
Actually, when the Habs decide they want to play well, they play very well. Then other days, they just, ugh, aren’t. at. all.
Yeah, like we’re not shocked too!
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Sure, sure. :P
I love that Denis Brodeur basically just told us that Marty’s childhood watching him as a team photographer paved the way for Marty being good at being famous. Heh.
He’ll probably cause me to redact this, but I, um, think I like Tim Connolly now. He’s pretty nifty. On ice of course. He might be a big ol’ dirty man whore off ice, but if you’re going to sleep with a hockey player, you deserve all the itching and burning that comes with it.
mcguffers, you’re sooooo asking for trouble!
mcguffers, you’re asking for trouble admitting out loud that you like Connolly. :P (And :^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: to the itching and burning.)
Woooo! Otter’s second of the evening! It’s TOTALLY a shoutout to Myra!
WOOOOOOOO! 6-4 Leafs!
Do I actually like like the Leafs or am I just ever so happy they’re beating the Flames? Hmmmm. Stay tuned.
I know, I know Ookies! I’ve been trying to fight my feelings, but then he does some schnazy skating and tries to win me over. He scored twice and got two assists at one of the games I went to! He wants me!
Oh, there goes another commemorative puck!
I’m worried about you, alix!
HA! 7-4! This game is absolutely DELIGHTFUL.
Luke Schenn with an assist! Oh how I luff him so.
I’m worried about you, alix!
Yeah, who was rooting for the Avs the other night? :P
Ott has two tonight? I knew there was a reason I added him to the Little Honkers.
Yeah, you probably should be, Patty. Heh.
Also, there is nothing wrong with liking the man whore hockey players! Nothing AT. ALL. :D

Robyn Regeher is such a dirty little asshole. I wish Hordichuk or Bieksa or someone would just destroy him one day.
This game has taken a sickening turn.

Good color choices. It’s just different enough from the Blue and Gold Club so that some 50-something gentleman doesn’t get the shock of his life when he tries to sign onto the season ticket waiting list.
Seriously, if the Sabres ever did a Club Scarlett thing, I’d be writing a very sternly worded letter to the Sabres and the Buffalo News.
WOOO!
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. I just come back from a friends party. I’m completely wasted. And I turn on my computer to see a devils goal. Jeez.
They’ve actually been playing pretty well, Grrreg. They just, ya know, won’t score. I’ve heard the Devils have a pretty good goalie.

And Chico’s going on and on about how much better the Devils have been in the game than the Habs, but I disagree. I mean, I don’t think they’ve given up TONS of grade-A chances, but they certainly haven’t had the puck as much as I would have liked so far.
Ewwwwwwwwwwww! Angry baby has a hat trick!

Is Toronto going to give up that lead? That’s crazy!
Nah, it’s 8-6. With an empty netter. They’re fine. 5 seconds.

Oh my god! Marty’s dad is SOOOOOOOO adorable! And Weeksie and Marty’s hug. Ooooooh. I want to nom nom nom them. I’m totes crushing on the Devils right now.
And they have to go to a shoot out with Atlanta of all teams. With no Kotalik. Fuck.
mcguffers, might I suggest Ryan Miller as a prom date? I’ve heard he’s a bit bored these days. All he does is blog, swim and watch TV. Dancing might be something new and different.
MAR-TIN! MAR-TIN! MAR-TIN!
I knew he would win but I didn’t realize I’d get goosebumps!
Sorry, Habs fans.
You mean Marty’s dad still works as a photographer?
That didn’t last long!
It’s actually one of my longest relationships! :D
Yeah! A shootout!! This is getting better and better! It’s a good thing we have Kotalik who leads the league in SO goals!! Oh, wait…
Yay, Marty!!!! Way to tie that record!
You mean Marty’s dad still works as a photographer?
Just for tonight! He hadn’t shot them in two years, so it was a special thing just for this!
Congrats, Marty!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! You guys, I am TOTALLY choked up from that ovation. That was AWESOME. And you know who I love? You know who I’ve loved since DAY ONE as a Devils fan? You know who I want to take to the prom? MARTY!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
You mean Marty’s dad still works as a photographer?
No. He said he hasn’t worked a Habs game in two years, but wasn’t going to say no to tonight. Which is so adorable. That’s awesome of the Habs.
On the bright side, at least tonight did absolutely nothing to affect the EC playoff standings.
And you know who I love? You know who I’ve loved since DAY ONE as a Devils fan?
Seconded! But I’m totally speechless right now because it’s all suddenly crashing down on me how lucky we’ve been to see him play.
But I’m totally speechless right now because it’s all suddenly crashing down on me how lucky we’ve been to see him play.
I KNOW! We’ve been taking him to the prom for a decade and a half!
mcguffers, might I suggest Ryan Miller as a prom date? I’ve heard he’s a bit bored these days.
I should ask, but I don’t want him stepping on my toes with his cast, or boot, or cane, whatever he’s got.
I really did want the Habs to win tonight (sorry, sorry, I have to be honest), but Brodeur has been one of my favorite players forever, so I love that he won. I loves me some goalies.
Daaaaammmmn. I love Marty’s accent. I am crushin on him big time. This is the cutest interview ever.
Oh, and I have to share how pathetic that shootout made me. I was eating tortilla chips with salsa con queso. Well the chips got too crummy and the dip was down too low, so I honest to God, started dipping a pretzel stick into the cheese and rolling it around in chip pieces. I should seriously weigh about 500lbs.
Now I better go coo at Lui so he doesn’t get jealous…
I’m not going to coo over last night though. That was some terrible, terrible goal tending.
This is a nice moment. I’m even glad it happened in Montreal. It’s just unfortunate it happened at a moment when the habs really need points. Anyway, bravo Marty, that’s really impressive! And now he can break that record in front of his fans, and that’s even nicer.
And Weeksie and Marty’s hug. Ooooooh.
Awe man, the feed I was watching cut off with :30 to go. I would have luffed to have seen that.
I honest to God, started dipping a pretzel stick into the cheese and rolling it around in chip pieces. I should seriously weigh about 500lbs.
*Wonders if, perhaps, this is why I way 500 lbs.* Heh. But that sounds delicious! :P
And I am so impressed with the Montreal fans. That was really, really awesome.
Now if I can find the way to my bed, I think it’s time to sleep. See y’all.
Awe man, the feed I was watching cut off with :30 to go. I would have luffed to have seen that.
Dude, seriously? You’ve had a rough night! If it’s any help, MSG+ opted to go with a tight angle of all the celebrations, so we just saw Marty. Which kind of sucked, because I wouldn’t have minded seeing the team and coaches lining up for him. It was a rare misstep for MSG+, though. Normally they do so well. (They also had Chico talk over the ovation, but whatevs. It’s just Montreal fans. :P)
And you know who I love? You know who I’ve loved since DAY ONE as a Devils fan?
Thirded!
G’night, Grrrreg! I’d say I’m sorry the Habs didn’t win… but that would be a lie. :P
Awe man, the feed I was watching cut off with :30 to go. I would have luffed to have seen that.
It was soooooooo cute! But now I am having entirely inappropriate thoughts about a Marty and Weeksie sammich…
Night Grrrreg!
Schnookie, it was quite delicious, but I’ll never get into ice girls shape with that kind of diet! it’s back to orange juice soaked cotton balls and diuretics for me!
G’night Grrrreg!
I had to listen to this on the radio. Why? Because Gamecenter live blacks out games that are on NHL network. Isn’t it great that not only do I plop down all the cash for this online ripoff, but that they expect me to pay more for their piece of shit network? Thanks alot NHL. People who don’t have cable in AZ salute you.
Two-faced rat pieces of shit.
Game was good though. If I wasn’t vehemently sick while LISTENING TO IT ON THE RADIO it would have been better. Montreal was way classy for Brodeur. I’m going to go vomit now.
But now I am having entirely about a Marty and Weeksie sammich…
It’s ok, alix. I sometimes have inappropriate thoughts like that too. :P
it’s back to orange juice soaked cotton balls and diuretics for me!
Me too! We’ve got until August 1 for the Ducks Ice Girls tryouts. That’s a lot of cotton balls.
But now I am having entirely about a Marty and Weeksie sammich…
It’s ok, alix. I sometimes have inappropriate thoughts like that too. :P
Heh. It happens to all of us. :D
RoShaCla, I am SO sorry you’ve had such a shitty time with this game!
Just for tonight! He hadn’t shot them in two years, so it was a special thing just for this!
Awww!
Okay, we’re getting a postgame interview with Lou, and he looks like the world’s most diabolically smug mortician. He’s all, “What was the name of that goalie the Flames drafted instead of Marty? Who was that guy again?” HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
RoShaCla, should have dropped in much earlier. I was having the same problem, but a very sly irregular pointed me in the right direction.
HA! Rawk on, Frisby!
Do you guys want to hear reason 692 why I’m so very blonde?
All day today I couldn’t see right but I was flummoxed because I had my contacts in and they were totally sqeaky clean and everything. I realized moments ago that I put them in the WRONG EYE. My left contact was in my right eye and vice versa.

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: This is why I would never be able to wear contacts.
I am having entirely inappropriate thoughts about a Marty and Weeksie sammich…
Mmm. Goalie sammich.
I’m really hating my neighbor’s ex right now. He’s dropping off the kid from his visitation, and instead of ringing the doorbell like a normal person, he’s playing passive aggressive asshole and sitting in the car in the driveway with the bass pumping.
I tried contacts once. Everyday for a week I would spend half an hour just getting them in, and once they were in they caused me to blink like 400 times a minute.
LOLS. I wrote this totally silly game recap last night when I was half drunk and called Hank Sedin Hank the Tank! and now it is linked on the front page of the Canucks website. They always manage to find my silly stuff.
Everyday for a week I would spend half an hour just getting them in, and once they were in they caused me to blink like 400 times a minute.
I think that’s what I’d be like. Other than the part where I’d have to be sedated to get the contacts in in the first place.
And now we’re getting an interview with a Brendan Shanahan who just stepped out of Guys & Dolls. (He’s actually being funny again. Pando’s going to hate me for laughing at this interview. I’m sorry, Pando! He’s just being so charming!)
My left contact was in my right eye and vice versa.
My doctor knows I’m an idiot, so he gave me those interchangeable ones. Heh. Interchangeable.
I dunno why, but Amy’s neighbor’s passive aggressive ex reminded me of the door bell for my apartment in Syracuse (yes, I lived in Syracuse for awhile, shaddup.) that would ring for one of the third floor apartments and vice versa. It made for some real fun when we both had New Year’s Eve parties.
They’re really comfy when you get used to them and they go in in the blink of an eye (HAR!) but there is an adjustment period. Or just a continuous being blonde period for me.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Are guys wearing logos on their mouthpieces? Robi has had something on his for a while, but I thought it was related to his broken jaw or something. Now I see Grossman has something in the front, too.
And Robi jumping into Grossman’s arms was the cutest thing ever!
A shoutout from mcguffer’s eye doctor!

Awwww! That sounds pretty cute. Although MSG+ sent us out with a shot from the goal cam of the Devils huddle around Marty. That was pretty damn cute. :D
I’ve done that before, alix! Even back when I had a dot on the right one. (That might have been in my drinking-er days.)
WOOOO! SUCK it Wild!
I’ll say it’s the cutest thing I’ve seen. So far. :D
Awwwww. Thanks, Patty!
Drinking-er days. Hee!
I’ll say it’s the cutest thing I’ve seen. So far. :D
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
My eye doctor would so have sent you guys a playoff tracker too!
Actually you know what’s the cutest thing ever? When Mars is on the ice and the Canucks score and he goes in for the goal celebration and all the Canucks are so itty bitty compared to him, and it’s like he’s gathering them like a daddy bird. Nom nom.
And this is where I should stop drinking…
alix, that’s what was pretty cute about Robi and Grossman. Grossman’s probably a foot taller than Robi. It was like a kid meeting his daddy at the airport.
I was going to say drinking days, but those aren’t totally over. Heh.
My eye doctor would so have sent you guys a playoff tracker too!
Thanks, Dr. Blersus!
Dr. Blersus totally doesn’t show you replays of your eye surgery.

hahahahaha!! I totally read that as Dr. Belarus! I was trying to figure out when my doctor became European. Apparently he’s not a very good doctor after all cause my vision still sucks. Oh, no, wait. We’ll blame that on my first grade teacher for failing to teach me to read.

Yeah, mcguffers, I think your doctor is a quack.
alix, :^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The post-game dork asked Grossman how it felt to get that goal and he said, “It’s just a great feeling to see all the happy guys running at you.”
That’s such an adorable quote, Patty! Awwww.
I hope B-Mo is starting to fit in. Poor button has had a hard year or so!
Well ladies, I’m mildly drunk and off to watch some hott men play volleyball and then I’m going out to the bar. Maybe Matty will somehow be in a Saskatoon cab…
Enjoy your Marty love in! And the Stars win…and…mcguffers, ummmm…enjoy your doctor?
mcguffers, ummmm…enjoy your doctor?
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::: I’m definitely going to check his credentials next time.
G’night ladies! I’m off to celebrate my heritage!
alix, I think B-Mo is doing well. In the locker room, Tippett gave him the puck to give to somebody and even though we couldn’t hear the sound, he appeared to give a quick speech that cracked everybody up before he handed the puck to Grossman.
Good night alix and mcguffers!
Good night everyone!
Marty is fan-damn-tastic!
Steve, I think you put it best! :D
Victory Euro Mats is so cute with his 551 sign!
In addition to the number of wins, is it also VE Mats’ opinion of Marty on a scale of 1 to 10?
HAHAHAHAHA! Yeah, Patty, that’s TOTALLY what VE Mats rates Marty on the scale of 1 to 10. :D
Oh, and there is a squirrel dying in the foot of our driveway right now. It wasn’t hit by a car or anything. It’s just… lying there. Occasionally it gets up as if to say “I’m not dead yet!”, and frankly, I think we’d all prefer if it just managed to roll in its death throes just about 10 feet further up the street so it can die in our neighbor’s driveway.
I completely missed VE Mats on the side of the photo. I was that distracted by happy, smiley Marty.
What is NBC thinking? Why do they frame their interview clips during intermission features on a tiny, distorted window in the middle of an otherwise empty screen? Are they STUPID? Who chooses to do that? Is it some misguided belief that fans who consume video on the interwebs PREFER to have shitty pictures in tiny windows? Because huge-screen HD picture is kind of the main reason why I prefer watching things on my TV…
I completely missed VE Mats on the side of the photo. I was that distracted by happy, smiley Marty.
Hee! We had some pictures that were more apparently VE Mats, but those all froze Marty with his eyes closed and his tongue hanging out of his mouth and stuff like that. :P
So Boomer was all, “I’m going to put the dying squirrel in a box using a shovel” so Schnookie and I were all, “Don’t you dare go anywhere near it because it could have rabies! I could leap at you and bite you!” So she called animal control who sent the police over. I’m watching the police man in the driveway now. The first thing he does? Walk right up the squirrel and kick it. Nice.
I love that they sent the police here for a dead squirrel in our driveway. Crime never takes a holiday in our little burgh.
That’s awesome that animal control sent the cops to your house. Your neighbors must be enjoying the show.
I think Laracque is going to put a hit out on Mike Mibury based off of Milbury’s comments during this most recent intermission
We didn’t listen to Milbury, but Boomer had the line of the day when they did the intermission teaser. They’re all, “Milbury will talk about what free agent signings DIDN’T work out, and we’ll have a feature on Naslund!” And Boomer says without missing a beat, “Wow! Naslund gets TWO features in this intermission!” Heh.
I think our nosy neighbor missed the policeman! HA! Her car just pulled into the driveway, and the cop was long gone by then. That’ll learn her to leave the house. She missed all the drama and excitement of a policeman helping Boomer shovel a squirrel corpse into a garbage bag. HER LOSS! (This is a neighbor who walks down the block on garbage pick-up day literally just so she can look into everyone else’s garbage cans.)
Milbury basically said that Laraque is fat, out of shape and a waste of a roster spot.
Awwwwww! Did anyone watch the feature on Nazzy? Even though him leaving the Canucks worked out for both sides (well maybe a little more for the Canucks. Heh) I still luff Nazzy off the ice.
Stupid Rangers. Stupid Avery. Stupid Flyers. Stupid Habs. Stupid Gainey. I hate hockey.
This game bit! Although I appreciate NBC going out of its way to exonerate Beaker for that bullshit elbowing penalty yesterday.
(well maybe a little more for the Canucks. Heh)
Yeah. I don’t think there are many Rangers fans who think that signing worked out for them. :P
Yeah, why couldn’t I have missed this game instead of yesterday’s game? Hrmph.
You really did choose poorly, kristin.
It’s the Canucks 250th consecutive sell out tonight! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I dunno, alix, I think I’d be more impressed if it was 11, not 250.
Oh good point, Pookie! 11 is so much more impressive. Heh.
PLEASE. 250? That’s weak sauce. 11 is WAY cooler.
Poor squirrel!! That’s so sad! I bet RudyKelly won’t like that story one bit.
Well, even squirrels die of old age. I think Rudy recognizes that. :P
Dude, the Bruins are terrible.
Dude, the Bruins are terrible.
Wait, what?? I thought the Bruins were going to take the East!
Come on Bruins, can’t you at least help us a bit? I’m going through the classic pains of rooting fot a team I normally can’t stand, just to see it fail miserably. Bastards!
I thought the Bruins were going to take the East!
We need everyone to keep thinking that. Last night the On The Fly guys very calmly said, “The Devils are going to go to the SCF.” We immediately started screaming to the Hockey Gods, “We do NOT endorse this kind of thinking, Hockey Gods! Don’t smite us!”
I’m going through the classic pains of rooting fot a team I normally can’t stand, just to see it fail miserably. Bastards!
Don’t you hate that? It’s always like, “Well, there’s another reminder of why I hate you, stupid team!”
Oh, and I have never been more disgusted by hockey than I am that Butthead hasn’t been a complete disaster since the trade deadline.
We need everyone to keep thinking that.
I’d love to keep thinking that, and then see them prove me wrong and go down in flames in the first round, but right now, it’s veeeery hard not to believe the devils are a better team…
Don’t you hate that?
It’s really the worst situation. You already feel bad rooting for the wrong team, and to make it worse, they suck the only time you need them to win. You can’t even properly enjoy their misery after this!
but right now, it’s veeeery hard not to believe the devils are a better team…
Under the radar, Grrrreg. We’re trying to fly under the radar. :P
And yeah, this kind of game is just such an emotional minefield. It’s so fraught!
Butthead hasn’t been a complete disaster since the trade deadline.
If Butthead is Jokinen, then I won’t complain too much, since he’s a Pronger Worshipper. I was about to get rid of him when he was traded, so I just decided to wait and see how it would work in Calgary. I’m happy, because I got him at the draft, and at the start of the season I was sure he would score hundreds of goals for Phoenix. My extreme patience (or reluctance to admit he was a bust) is finally paying off!
There’s nothing better than when a guy you’ve refused to admit sucks finally decides to reward your awful GMing skills. :D
Exactly!
But were you talking about Jokinen, or did I completely misunderstood who Butthead is supposed to be?
Butthead is actually Bill Guerin. But Jokinen works too! And I felt pretty much the same about him at the trade deadline.
Seriously. What is going on with the Islanders? Are they, uh, good now? Or did everyone else start to suck? This is like dogs and cats living together
Hee! I think the Islanders are enjoying the benefits of having a bunch of guys with jobs to play for and nothing much to lose. Again, if there was only a way to convince them at the start of next season that they’re already out of it, and convince the rest of the league that the Islanders are pathetic and should be taken lightly, they should be fine!
Happy we didn’t trade then, Grrrreg? For all the goals Olli has scored since then, I still wouldn’t take him. So tired of that guy. But I’m glad he’s making you happy :)
*sigh* Marty. I didn’t get to watch or listen to the past 3 games (despite the marvels of modern technology that lead to having internet on my phone in the mountains in Switzerland, it didn’t make for good streaming), just read the recaps and this here blog, and I still made noises dogs could hear from space because it was SNOWMGSOEXCITING. YAY MARTY. In fact, Plutonians are currently sending messages to Earth saying “Please, turn down the Mags”. They won’t get here till I’m dead, but they’re sending them anyway. I have that much Squee. Srsly.

Happy we didn’t trade then, Grrrreg?
Wow, I actually had completely forgotten about that trade proposal! I don’t even remember what I asked for. Anyway, I’ll keep my Olli now…
And don’t calm down, Mags, just enjoy the awesomeness of your goalie! This is turning into quite an exciting season for you devils fans, that’s nice…
It’s time to go to bed now. See you soon.

I blame global warming.

SQUEE! The Avalanche are very terrible!
Good morning, everyone!
alix, we were watching that game, and the Avs really are terrible, aren’t they? We had the Avs feed, though, and I have to say, I was hypnotized by the accent of their play-by-play guy. We so couldn’t place it that we actually looked up his bio online. It’s an hilarious mash-up of New York City and Indiana, which made the game pretty fun to listen to.
It’s an hilarious mash-up of New York City and Indiana
I’m having a hard time fathoming this one.
And Crunchy’s back on the ice today! He’s lightly skating in his leg pads and sweats. I’m pommerdoodling just a bit.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! Crunchy’s back! That’s AWESOME news!!!
And Crunchy’s back on the ice today!
Yay!
I hope Crunchy’s skating in his board shorts.
I know I shouldn’t get too excited about Crunchy skating, since it’s not like he’s in full gear and taking shots. But it’s a baby step in the right direction.
Hey, being on the ice is a GREAT reason to be excited! I think I passed out when I first heard Marty was back on the ice.
Way to go, Crunchy! How exciting!
So when I walked in this morning the first person who saw me was like, “Hey, your goalie had quite the weekend!” I’m stunned the news actually reached the non-hockey fans in NJ. I was not expecting that.
Not only that, but it reached the non-hockey fans in south Jersey. Heh.
Heads up for the non-Jersey based Devils fans: NHL Network is picking up Tuesday’s Devils game and will continue to pick up all Devils games until Marty breaks the record.
EEEEEE! I loved that game last night sooooooo much! Hockey rawks!
The telethon raised over $800 000 for Canuck Place Children’s Hospice! I decided to donate $10 for every Canucks goal. I’m a teeny bit glad it wasn’t a blow out. Heh.
9th straight win at home! My team is the definition of bi-polar. They set a record for most home losses and most home wins in a row in the same season.
And I don’t know if the AVs guys mentioned it, but Matty is now the sole leader in defencemen scoring! He did his after game interview is suspenders! He was all sweaty! WOOO!
Go Crunchy!
NHL Network is picking up Tuesday’s Devils game and will continue to pick up all Devils games until Marty breaks the record.
FAAAAAAAN-fucking-tastic. Let’s put our games on a network that even fewer people can see than Blersus! ::Eyeroll::
I decided to donate $10 for every Canucks goal. I’m a teeny bit glad it wasn’t a blow out.
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: I would have done the same. Heh.
And that’s awesome about the home losing and winning streaks records! The Devils set the playoff road-win record in 2000, and then the home-win record in 2003. It’s always nice to have a team that keeps you on your toes. :P
FAAAAAAAN-fucking-tastic. Let’s put our games on a network that even fewer people can see than Blersus! ::Eyeroll::
The Devils / Chicago (right?) game would be so much more entertaining than the current Versus game of Detroit / Philly.
Showcasing Sieve Marty as opposed to Awesome Record Breaking Marty is not the way to promote the league.
And besides, I wanted to try breaking my remote flipping between the Sabres game, American Idol (Grand Old Opry night) and the Devils game. Why must the league thwart me? And yes, it is all about me. :)
Why must the league thwart me? And yes, it is all about me. :)
OF COURSE it’s all about you! I’m outraged on your behalf that you don’t get to try to break a channel-flipping record tomorrow night. That would have been awesome! (That said, I’m TOTALLY not complaining about the Versus thing. I mean, it blows for people outside the MSG area to require NHL Network to see the game, but I don’t want to be on Versus! And more than that, I’m delighted that I’ll have the Tranny Brides in HD and not on the Detroit feed to watch on tivo delay after our game! [Yup. It's all about me too. :D])
In a totally unrelated aside (and not that I even really want to change the subject, but I’m just pommerdoodling with “season change” excitement since yesterday), we are planting things IN THE GROUND today after work. Radishes and peas! WOOOOOO!!!!
And that’s my story.
That’s awesome, Schnookie! How exciting! I love exclamation points!
Aren’t exclamation points GRAND?!!!
Heh.
F. Scott Fitzgerald said using an exclamation point is like laughing at your own joke. I say, “Fine, but using three exclamation points is like being a genius, so fuck off, ‘F’, if that really is your name!!!”
Pookie, I was going to say something about that Fitzgerald line, but you tackled it far more eloquently than I would have.
I was wondering what the F in F. Scott Fitzgerald stood for, now I think I know!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHA! You’re right, Mike. And that’s what IPB is good for — unearthing and then solving those literary mysteries that keep people up at night.
That’s the spirit, Mike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (so there, Francis)
Matty’s kinky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
F.S.G was a chauvinistic wealthy douche. At least all his stories make him seem that way.
And this NHL Network news is killing me. Anyone know where I can get a…ummm…less than legal feed on the interwebs?
I’m pretty sure I am going hunt down whoever makes the decisions about this stuff and kill them BTW. The NHL already has one channel package, it doesn’t need a goddamn network too.
Oh, and sorry for the rage. Still sick. I have a bad ear infection apparently. Like, so bad it makes my brain throb.
Sorry to hear you’re under the weather, RoShaCla! I’m totally clueless about the streaming feeds, but if KG pops up, she usually knows!
What a total bummer that you’re sick, RoShaCla! I’m so sorry, and hope you get better quickly.
I think KG had a link at the beginning of this thread for finding streaming feeds…
