Devils @ Penguins, 4/1/09 — Postgame Reaction

April 1, 2009 by Schnookie

As the saying goes, fool us once, shame on you; fool us twice, shame on us. We spent two and a half hours that we’ll never get back on Monday night watching the continuation of the Devils’ rapid descent from Cup favorite to enormous pile of puke. We’re not making the same mistake tonight. We were on tivo delay with Pookie working late, and now that she’s home at 10:00 after a crappy day, there are about a zillion other things we can think of that would be better uses of our time than watching this game, even on fast-forward. Screw you, Devils.

Xanax anyone?
on April 1, 2009 at 10:24 pm Frisby

Screw you, Devils.

Indeed! I’m not watching another game this week.
on April 1, 2009 at 10:28 pm Schnookie

You tell ‘em, Frisby!
on April 1, 2009 at 10:29 pm Douglas

Well, Ookies, you chose a good game to miss. What happened to our Devils? Would whoever took them, please bring them back?
on April 1, 2009 at 10:33 pm Schnookie

What happened to our Devils? Would whoever took them, please bring them back?

I blame Clemmensen. I’m sure this is his fault. Heh.
on April 1, 2009 at 11:01 pm kristin

Can I make a recommendation about the Flyers’ game?
on April 1, 2009 at 11:06 pm Schnookie

What would that recommendation be, kristin?
on April 1, 2009 at 11:07 pm kristin

worth skipping as well….a snooooooozefest!
on April 1, 2009 at 11:07 pm Pookie

Kristin, you can recommend but you can’t stop us from watching! :PPPPPPPPPPPPPP (We already know the score. But the beauty of the Trannies is that we don’t care when they lose! So on a Wednesday night if I can watch part of a hockey game starting at 11 pm, and have that game either be Beaks and Farts in stunning HD or the Devils losing 6-to-ticktey-fuck-1 to the Pens? Yeah.)
on April 1, 2009 at 11:08 pm Schnookie

Please. It’s Beaks and Farts and Schlittsy and Bird Dog and all those other wacky guys… IN HD!!!! You don’t understand — this is the first Tranny Brides feed we’ve had ALL SEASON!
on April 1, 2009 at 11:08 pm kristin

although Beaker was his usual Beakery self, so that might be a draw for you. And they kept showing Farter’s mom. She looks like Farter in a wig!
on April 1, 2009 at 11:10 pm Schnookie

EEK! Mama Farts? I can’t not watch now! And honestly, when is Beaker not Beakery?
on April 1, 2009 at 11:11 pm kristin

Wow, you finally get the tranny brides feed! You must be so excited! You get to listen to JJ and Jonesy! Even JJ sounded like he was falling asleep while calling the game in the third period! I love exclamation points!
on April 1, 2009 at 11:12 pm Schnookie

This picture is INSANE. I’m SO happy we got our cable back.
on April 1, 2009 at 11:12 pm Pookie

I can’t imagine JJ sounding like he’s falling asleep.
on April 1, 2009 at 11:14 pm Schnookie

I love exclamation points too, kristin! And trust me, there’s no amount of boredom that can drive us away from a hockey game. We became Devils fans in the mid-’90s. We like boring.
on April 1, 2009 at 11:17 pm kristin

Oh, well if you like boring, this game is the game for you. You will love it! Enjoy!

And you will die when you see Mama Farts! She’s adorable!
on April 1, 2009 at 11:22 pm Joan

Is it possible to suffer post-traumatic stress syndrome from watching Devils hockey? I think I need to go into therapy.
on April 1, 2009 at 11:24 pm Schnookie

That’s what happened to me after the loss last week to the Flyers. I am only feeling well again today. Some people might call it a flu bug, but I know better.
on April 1, 2009 at 11:28 pm KG

I will tell you this much: Zach got hit in the mouth with a stick and there was no call. :( Somewhere right now, Zach is outraged and ranting to Travis and Boxworthy.
on April 1, 2009 at 11:30 pm Schnookie

Zach’s probably being as apathetic as his teammates, and is eagerly booking his tee times. :P
on April 1, 2009 at 11:31 pm KG

Or booking his hotel room for the World Championship games. :P
on April 2, 2009 at 1:16 am Mags

I didn’t even finish watching the game. You were right though, Schnookie. I now fully understand the vortex of suck that’s been swirling for the past couple of games. That was disgusting.
on April 2, 2009 at 8:15 am Amy

Or booking his hotel room for the World Championship games.

If Staffy, Timmy, Goose, Pommer and Crunchy book at the same time as Zach, can they get a group discount?
on April 2, 2009 at 10:05 am Schnookie

Good morning, everyone! I have to say, things are looking up this morning, as I’ve realized the silver lining to the Devils’ recent play is that a footloose-and-fancy-free summer is right around the corner! WOO HOO!!! Just a few more weeks and I won’t have to waste hours of my evenings watching that same group of guys frittering away my time and theirs. Take that, Devils! You can’t hurt me this year! I’m over it! :P
on April 2, 2009 at 10:34 am Meg

So I was looking, this morning, at photographs of Michelle Obama meeting the Queen, and all I can think is: Oh look, they’re like Chara and Gionta. Except the Queen isn’t trying to punch M. Obama in the face. Which is fortunate. But all morning I’ve been sitting at my desk, trying not to giggle to myself like a little maniac over that mental image. I probably shouldn’t think of international diplomacy in terms of hockey players but there you have it.
on April 2, 2009 at 10:47 am Schnookie

Oh look, they’re like Chara and Gionta. Except the Queen isn’t trying to punch M. Obama in the face. Which is fortunate.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That’s AWESOME! And so apt! And really, why wouldn’t you think of international diplomacy in terms of hockey players? I mean, hockey’s the best frame of reference I can think of!
on April 2, 2009 at 11:48 am Mike in Idaho

So it would seem I picked a good game to miss then… St. Louis at least had the decency to only lose by 3 and since I like Chicago too I wasn’t too upset. I will go out on a limb and predict a victory Friday because apparently ceremonies with Marty are the only thing that motivates this team. I have to say I am so sick of Marty deciding when he gets pulled, I remember hearing Sutter was going to be the coach who would have the backbone to not play Marty every game and it hasn’t happened yet.

And Ookies, you have both cable and DirecTV now? I would hate to see your combined bills, but I have always been for spending as much money as you can on TV :D

And HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA to mcguffers, that Ice Girls – Candy comment you made last night made my morning! Laughing is getting me some stares at the office here though.
on April 2, 2009 at 11:59 am Schnookie

I have to say I am so sick of Marty deciding when he gets pulled, I remember hearing Sutter was going to be the coach who would have the backbone to not play Marty every game and it hasn’t happened yet.

Yeeeeah… What gives there? I mean, I applaud Sutter and Marty for being all “I asked him if he wanted to leave the game” and “I wanted to fight through it with my teammates” and blah blah blah, but dude. Who’s in charge here anyway? Isn’t one of hockey’s great cliches that pulling the goalie wakes up his teammates? I suppose that’s too much to ask of this Devils team. I mean, Marty ranks Sutter on the org chart, and the skaters don’t have an ounce of pride or self-respect anyway, so who am I kidding? :P

And as for cable and DirecTV, we had them both for a while because we couldn’t get any channels in HD on the satellite. So we added the cable and discovered we also really liked having two DVRs. Then DirecTV became more HD-enabled and we decided we couldn’t really justify spending the money on both and cancelled the cable. After going about eight months with just the DirecTV, we’ve decided we really miss having that second DVR and prefer the On Demand features Comcast offers, but we don’t get MSG+ on the cable. Obviously MSG+ is going to be the deciding factor when we can only afford one of the services, but we’ve had a change in financial fortunes since we cancelled the cable, so we’ve decided we can afford it again. It is an INSANE amount of money to be spending on TV, but at the same time, we spend an INSANE amount of time watching TV. Why not splurge? :P Anyway, that’s my story.
on April 2, 2009 at 12:35 pm Mike in Idaho

Who’s in charge here anyway? Isn’t one of hockey’s great cliches that pulling the goalie wakes up his teammates?

The funny thing is I think that if Marty ever was pulled, it might wake up his teammates since it NEVER HAPPENS! I can’t remember the last time I saw him actually pulled from a game and can only remember once or twice where he sat out the last period.

It is an INSANE amount of money to be spending on TV, but at the same time, we spend an INSANE amount of time watching TV. Why not splurge?

I used this exact argument to convince my wife we needed an HDTV, to great success! I used to have both DirecTV and Dish Network since I liked different channels on each and the recording flexibility it gave me so I know what you mean (fortunately cable is a non-contender here so that is one less way to spend money, imagine if you will a cable company that shows no hockey, not even the Avalanche, whose market we are in).
on April 2, 2009 at 12:44 pm Schnookie

The funny thing is I think that if Marty ever was pulled, it might wake up his teammates since it NEVER HAPPENS!

I KNOW! They might actually WIN if he got pulled, because that NEVER HAPPENS EITHER. :P I actually think he got pulled last year in Philly in our last game against them. And the last game Pookie and I went to at CAA, the St. Patrick’s Day Massacre at the hands of the Canes, featured an absolutely hilarious lengthy negotiation between Julien and Marty as Julien wanted to pull him, but Marty clearly wasn’t going to budge. It was a whole lot of Paulie skating from the bench to the crease and back again, being told at each end stuff we can only imagine was like this:

“Tell Marty he can’t stop shit today and needs to get his ass over here on the bench.”
“Yeah, well, tell ‘Coach’ that if he wants me to sit, he’s going to have to figure out how to stop Gomez from shooting pucks at him during practice first.”
“Yeah, well, tell Marty that he’s not the boss of me.”
“Yeah, well, tell ‘Coach’ that he needs to read the fine print on his contract if he thinks I’m not the boss of him.”
“Yeah, well, tell Marty I think he’s fat.”
“Yeah, well, tell ‘Coach’ to stick up asswards.”

It was awesome. And really, no wonder Sutter doesn’t bother. :P

I can’t IMAGINE having a cable provider that doesn’t even play the LOCAL hockey team! That’s INSANE! I mean, who wouldn’t want to carry “Altitude”? :P (We watched the Flyers game on tivo delay last night — yeah, I’ll watch a Flyers loss but not a Devils one? Heh — and can I just say? The picture was SO GOOD. If they weren’t my Trannies already, I’d be scooping up the Flyers as my secondary team anyway because the feed on Comcast is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.)
on April 2, 2009 at 1:01 pm kristin

Did you ladies see Mama Farts?
on April 2, 2009 at 1:29 pm JerseyMike

So, I’m debating whether or not to go to Friday’s game – they’re giving away posters and mini-hockey sticks to commemorate Marty’s 552nd win, but considering that was the last one he had…
on April 2, 2009 at 1:33 pm SueNJ97

I wanted Marty pulled after the second goal. I really just have no patience for this anymore.

I spent a lot of my time screaming at Chico who didn’t seem to get anything, as per usual, until he finally said (after the 5th goal, I think), “Well, I hope this is rock bottom for them”.

Doubtful, Chico, doubtful, since I fully expect them to lose to Vinny and his buddies on Friday.
on April 2, 2009 at 1:34 pm Morgan

Well it is time to bring out the big guns. I’ve got tickets to the Rawk for the ‘Ning game, and I am bringing my sister, Jen. She is undefeated at the Rawk this year, so the unstoppable force that is the Devils implosion will meet the immovable object of my sister’s awesomeness.

Oh, and if we get there early enough, we intend to buy a Devils Mystery Puck. If I get so ridiculously lucky as to get a Bobby Holik autograph on my biscuit, then I will mail it down post haste to y’all Ookies.

No need to thank me.
on April 2, 2009 at 1:49 pm Schnookie

You know, we had quite a laugh last night about how not only were we saving ourselves watching the game itself, but also Chico’s assertions that it really isn’t that bad. Man, but he’s a maddening addition to the mix, isn’t he?

Morgan, I’m really excited to see who will win out — the Devils’ power of suck or Jen’s powers of good. Sadly, I’m not sure how much faith I have in anything being able to top the Devils’ collective will to lose.

And ha. ha. to the Holik puck. :PPPPPP

kristin, Mama Farts was hilarious! I couldn’t believe how much she looks like him in drag, especially considering he also looks exactly like his dad…
on April 2, 2009 at 1:51 pm alix

Dammit! The Canucks are doomed! TSN and ESPN have written glowing articles about them in the last 2 days. It’s all over.
on April 2, 2009 at 1:57 pm Schnookie

TSN and ESPN have written glowing articles about them in the last 2 days. It’s all over.

That’s exactly what happened to us. Sorry. It really sucks. :P
on April 2, 2009 at 2:12 pm Mike in Idaho

I fully expect them to lose to Vinny and his buddies on Friday.

The good news is that Vinny won’t be there, kukla is reporting that he is out for the year for wrist surgery. Losing to the Lightning without Lecavalier would be a whole new level of rock bottom though…
on April 2, 2009 at 2:14 pm SueNJ97

Schnookie, Chico spent an amazing amount of time trying to explain the first few goals and was forced to admit that Marty had failed to get his stick down on the first one but still tried to make it sound like it wasn’t his fault that this happened.

I threw something at the TV. Something that wouldn’t break it, obviously.

The cats chased it and were very happy, so something worthwhile came out of it.

About the TSN and ESPN articles…I had no idea both those outlets had written glowing articles about NJ. Do we have any idea if Melrose also did something awful like pick NJ to come out of the East, aloud during those few minutes he’s allowed to speak on ESPN? Because, if that happened…that’s the reason for the implosion, right there. Combined w/Clemmer, of course.
on April 2, 2009 at 2:38 pm Schnookie

Dude, we have to watch them lose TO THE LIGHTNINGBOLTS! and I don’t even get the benefit of being able to ogle Vinny? This game is gonna BLOW!
on April 2, 2009 at 2:53 pm Anthony

we get Weekesie tomorrow
on April 2, 2009 at 2:54 pm SueNJ97

I demand a cardboard cutout of Vinny on the Lightning bench and that the camera be ordered to focus on it every 5 minutes or so.

After all, it will be more animated than the Devils’ game.
on April 2, 2009 at 2:58 pm Schnookie

we get Weekesie tomorrow

Heh. Well, the horse is out of the barn already, but I guess this is as close as we’ll get to Sutter pulling Marty. :P

ME TOO! And :^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
on April 2, 2009 at 6:08 pm mcguffers

Good afternoon everyone! I may or may not have stolen a big framed picture of Marty Biron from work today. Crazy Eyes stares at me every day when I’m at work, so today when I had no “guests,” one of the servers helped me smuggle him out of the bar in a garbage can. He’s now sitting on a couch staring at me just like the money I could be saving by switching to Geico. It’s kind of creepy. He may have to move so I can finish my homework.

Oh, and the fucking Habs are winning tonight. I feel it. (oddly enough, after the Blackhawks game, I actually do feel it!)
on April 2, 2009 at 6:10 pm mcguffers

I demand a cardboard cutout of Vinny on the Lightning bench and that the camera be ordered to focus on it every 5 minutes or so.

Guys, I totally suggest taking a picture of Vinny and taping it to the side of your tvs.

Mike, I’m glad I was able to make you look goofy in front of your coworkers! :D

mcguffers, you still feel a Habs win with Jaro in net?
on April 2, 2009 at 6:36 pm mcguffers

kristin, oddly enough, yes. Weird, huh? I didn’t just drink the Koolaide, I injected it in my veins! Plus Jaro had a nice little streak going until the flu from hell ate him. I think he still wants to take the job from the kid.
on April 2, 2009 at 6:45 pm mcguffers

Oh, and what is with this damn flu?? Last season, the flu and strep throat took out half of the Sabres… but it was ALL AT ONCE! This season, one Hab gets the flu, gets over it, then a week later, another one gets it, and so on. What the heck?
on April 2, 2009 at 7:19 pm mcguffers

Tonight just got 10000 times more awesome. Papa Komisarek and Daddy Higgins are in the radio booth.

Rick Moffet: “Uh oh. You might want to lecture that boy (Mike). He’s going to the penalty box.”

Roman Komisarek: *thick Polish accent* “Yeah, he might have been a bit rough there.”
on April 2, 2009 at 7:28 pm Schnookie

Wait, mcguffers, can you really be thinking the kinds of thoughts you do about Habs games if the guys’ parents are there? I know Mama Farts kinda ruined the mood for me watching the Trannies last night… :P
on April 2, 2009 at 7:39 pm mcguffers

It’ll be hard, Schnookie (that’s what she said) but I think I can behave myself for one night…. maybe.
on April 2, 2009 at 7:39 pm Grrrreg

Oh, I completely dropped the ball and assumed the game was starting at 7.30PM. Anyway I just arrived in time for Koivu’s goal. They seem to be playing hard. Good!
on April 2, 2009 at 7:42 pm Grrrreg

Yay! Schneider!! he’s been a GREAT pickup so far.
on April 2, 2009 at 7:43 pm Schnookie

It’ll be hard, Schnookie (that’s what she said)

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I just watched an interview with Beaker where he put on a master class in cranky. Crunchy only WISHES he could be cranky in an interview. Dude. That’s hawt.

And that’s my story. We’re not settled down for the Tranny Gentleman Callers yet because we all decided we desperately need chocolate chip cookies. Must… bake… cookies…
on April 2, 2009 at 7:49 pm mcguffers

Did Beaker drop an F bomb? Those are my favorite. Price’s “worst night of my fucking life” was a pretty good way to describe that particular game.

Grrrreg, I did the “fucking Habs” thing and I’m eating grilled cheese. I did my part, now they better do theirs. So far, so good!
on April 2, 2009 at 7:53 pm Schnookie

Nah. Beaker just stared stonily at the person talking to him, and after listening to the person regurgitate a quote from Paul Holmgren, with the unspoken intention of getting Beaker’s response to it, Beaker blinked sarcastically and said, “Question?” It was foxier than it sounds. Heh.
on April 2, 2009 at 7:53 pm Grrrreg

Grrrreg, I did the “fucking Habs” thing and I’m eating grilled cheese. I did my part, now they better do theirs.

Yeah I saw that! If they make the playoffs, the habs really should give you a medal…

Allright, I wish I could stay and watch the second period, but it’s already late, so good night!
on April 2, 2009 at 7:55 pm Schnookie

G’night, Grrrreg! I hope you have happy news waiting for you in the morning!
on April 2, 2009 at 7:55 pm mcguffers

They owe me a week at a health spa after all this damn grilled cheese! G’night!

:^::::::::::::::::::::::: That does sound pretty damn foxy. (I keep picturing and laughing to myself)
on April 2, 2009 at 7:57 pm kristin

Schnookie, I was wandering if you had seen the pissy Beaker interview. He kinda pissed me off, and I don’t even care about the damn Flyers anymore. He’s like, “WE ONLY LOST TWO GAMES!”, and I’m all, yeah, but you (the Flyers) didn’t put in any effort in the past 4 games dude. He was a crankypants!
on April 2, 2009 at 8:02 pm Schnookie

Beaker was such an ADORABLE crankypants! I hate those kinds of interviews from the Devils (boy am I familiar with that oeuvre, the “No, we don’t have an attitude problem — we’re just not connecting our passes!” delusional ones), but Beaker added that twist of super-pissy-and-totally-willing-to-snap-at-the-media-about-it that made it delicious. Well, delicious if you’re like me and you only like the team because you think Beaker (among others) is hott. :D
on April 2, 2009 at 8:07 pm kristin

Well, delicious if you’re like me and you only like the team because you think Beaker (among others) is hott. :D

Yeah, I guess seen through those lenses it might be hott. But man it pissed me off. Did you get to watch it on Daily News Live? John Boruk was pretty much pulling a flip out after he watched crankypants Beaker. I’ve never seen him so animated!
on April 2, 2009 at 8:10 pm Pookie

Kristin, I could totally see how that interview would seem really obnoxious if you… um… want to see the Flyers win? Heh. You should become a Habs fan full-time and pick up the Flyers as a full-time secondary team so that you can love those cranky Beaker interviews. Did you see the one from about a month and half ago or so when he was asked about giving the other team too many chances and he said, “Yeah, it was Breakaway City.” HAHAHAHAHA!
on April 2, 2009 at 8:11 pm Schnookie

What is this “Daily News Live” of which you speak? I watch only the following programming for hockey coverage:

–Games
–Pre-game shows
–Post-game shows, tivoed, and zapped through just for possible nekkid interviews
–On The Fly

(I don’t want to hear what actual Flyers punditry thinks of the team. Sheesh. They’re my trannies. The day I start paying attention to their versions of Stan and Dano and Gel-O is the day they’ve become my primary team. And that would only happen in bizarro world. :P)

(Also, I REALLY don’t want to hear anybody criticizing Beaker. He’s infallible. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH HE MEANS TO ME!) (Heh.)
on April 2, 2009 at 8:17 pm kristin

You should become a Habs fan full-time and pick up the Flyers as a full-time secondary team so that you can love those cranky Beaker interviews.

I was kinda surprised that it pissed me off, because honestly, I didn’t think I really cared about the Flyers anymore. I can barely muster enough enthusiasm to watch an entire game, let alone care about what Beaker has to say. (Habs games and interviews, on the other hand…sign me up!)

And I think Breakaway City pales in comparison to today’s crankypants Beaker!
on April 2, 2009 at 8:20 pm Schnookie

(Habs games and interviews, on the other hand…sign me up!)

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: See, I’m the same way right now about the Trannies and the Devils! I’m like, “Shut up, all of you,” to the Devils, and then I’m there hanging on Beaker’s every word. (But only Beaker. Or Farts. I mean, who gives a rat’s ass what guys like Lupul have to say?)

Breakaway City was all in his vaguely teenage-girl-esque delivery. And the eyeroll. And that weird way it sounds like he can’t really inhale or exhale through his nose.
on April 2, 2009 at 8:22 pm kristin

What is this “Daily News Live” of which you speak? I watch only the following programming for hockey coverage:

Oh, it’s on from 5-6:30 on the comcast sports channel. I thought maybe you might get it now that you have cable again. They have the occasional in studio Flyers interview or pregame interview, so I tivo it and fast forward to the good parts. But yeah, it might be a bit much for a secondary team.
on April 2, 2009 at 8:23 pm Schnookie

I thought maybe you might get it now that you have cable again.

Well, we’ve had cable again for just over 24 hours, so I can’t say our watching habits have changed dramatically yet. But if you say they have the occasionally juicy Tranny bit (that’s what he/she said), we might have to tivo it! Heh.
on April 2, 2009 at 8:25 pm mcguffers

Yeah, I definitely realized the Habs were more than just a tranny team when I found myself getting seriously pissed at them, and then loving them two games later. I think the Caps have become a tranny team for me. Please don’t hate me for that!
on April 2, 2009 at 8:26 pm Patty (in Dallas)

I love my DirecTV and all but this is the second time in as many nights that I had to reboot it and it takes FOREVER. I was aftraid it wasn’t going to finish in time. But whew. It just did.

And that Beaker interview sounds damn foxy. I can only imagine watching it.
on April 2, 2009 at 8:26 pm Schnookie

I think the Caps have become a tranny team for me. Please don’t hate me for that!

Someone who can still stomach the thought of speaking to her, tell mcguffers she’s banned.
on April 2, 2009 at 8:27 pm Schnookie

Ooh, rebooting the DirecTV takes FOREVER! I hate when we have to do it. And it gets stuck at, like, 27%, and game time is getting closer and closer, and you’re just sweating bullets… Man, I hate that.
on April 2, 2009 at 8:28 pm kristin

Yeah, I definitely realized the Habs were more than just a tranny team when I found myself getting seriously pissed at them, and then loving them two games later.

Yep, that’s a bad sign. Or when you talk to/yell at the tv all game during your tranny team’s game and read a book during your primary team’s game!

Yes they are, but I’m not going to get into it because they’re the only fanbase I’ve dealt with since starting blogging that seems to police even the outermost reaches of the interwebs waiting to troll anyone who metes out even the mildest criticism of their team. Thanks to Caps fans, we learned about WordPress’s blacklist settings. Heh.

They’re not that heinous.

I have to agree with Schnookie, they kinda are. But I can see how someone might be hypnotized by them.

Or when you get pissed off at your primary team for “stealing” two points from your tranny team in a shootout because it’s not like your primary team’s getting in the playoffs!

yeah, that’s a bad bad sign. But really, couldn’t Buffalo just let us win?

(another bad sign, when you refer to tranny team as “us” or “we”!)

If it means that much to you, I will hate the Caps with every fiber in my being. Ice Girls have to stick together.

OMG! That’s, like, the sweetest thing anyone’s ever said! Ice Girls really are BFFs, just like Candy said after you taught her how to tell which pom-poms were hers! (You can like the Craps if that what you really want. I mean, there’s no accounting for taste. I’ll just know you’re wrong.) (And no, it’s not like you said the Rangers, so I appreciate that. They’re currently the next worse thing in my mind, though, which is weird. I mean, how did I end up married to the Trannies in the first place? Because I wanted them to beat the Caps last year. That’s saying a lot!)

The demon mindfucking dog is the funniest thing I’ve seen in ages. For some reason my old avatar still shows up on my computer at work and it makes me so sad. :D

another bad sign, when you refer to tranny team as “us” or “we”!

I want it stated for the record that I haven’t yet referred to the Tranny Brides as “us” or “we”. In fact, I rarely refer to them by their actual name. There’s still a lot of shame there…

*Shudder* At first I thought he was a good ol prairie boy with a cute little faux hawk. Until I saw the tribal arm band tattoo. Like who the fuck does that anymore? Guys that belong on Hot Girls and Douche Bags.com that’s who.

I know, right?! WTF are they gonna need that extra point for on April 12 when they’re getting ready for a long summer of golf. The Habs could be tied with the Rangers right now!

(another bad sign, when you refer to tranny team as “us” or “we”!)

True, again. And that I’m sitting here in a Habs t-shirt.

It’s totally like that time I tried to buy those high waisted jeans at Aeropostel and you were like, “No Way! Those wouldn’t even look good on Jessica Simpson!” and I was like, “OMIGOD they’re sooooo cute!! Jessica could totally rock these!” Well, after those pictures of her at the Chili cook-off were printed, I’m soooo glad I listened to you!

Paw prints? Please let them be masculine paw prints and not some sort of puppy or kitty prints.

I’m wearing a Senators shirt. No joke. I’ve had it for about 10 years, though.

And I have not seen the paw print tattoos. Someone once emailed us an article from whatever kind of small-time media outlet would be interviewing Jordy, and the subject of his tattoos came up in the interview. There is apparently a “Parise family tattoo” that was conceptualized by JP and involves chain links, there’s a Shattuck crest, and paw prints. The person who brought this to our attention was like, “Only STRIPPERS have paw print tattoos!” Which is a good point. I bet Jordy’s a stripper.

If the Saskatoon Airport could see what I’m going to do to this game after we drop the dads off at home, they would have me arrested, cause I’m pretty sure I’m planning on at least 14 illegal acts!
on April 2, 2009 at 9:25 pm mcguffers

Seriously, you would think this game was in Montreal. All you can hear is that “Na na na na goodbye” song. And the cutest thing was the face off where Komisarek was right next to the boards and on the other side was this kid on the very edge of his seat wearing a Komisarek jersey.

Habs fans never learn, do they?
on April 2, 2009 at 9:43 pm mcguffers

Habs fans never learn, do they?

I’ll give them a free pass cause there were two minutes left and we were ahead 5-1. Although, I don’t think the song was applicable seeing as how the game was in NY and it’s actually the Habs who will be saying goodbye…. GOODBYE TO 8 PLACE!!! HAHAHA SUCK IT RANGERS!!! (seriously Hockey gods, don’t hold that against me. It’s the Rangers. Seriously.)
on April 2, 2009 at 9:53 pm Schnookie

You only sing that “Na na na na goodbye” song when you’re eliminating a team from the playoffs! You cheapen it when you’re singing it at the Islanders in the second-to-last week of the season!

I think in the Wings-Blues game they’re both playing with an empty net.
on April 2, 2009 at 10:02 pm Pookie

I have only sung that song twice in my life and it was so special. I sang it for beating the Leafs after the 6 shot game, and for the ’03 Cup. That is NOT a song for regular season games. Or non-elimination games. Or games where you let the other team take more that 6 shots. :D
on April 2, 2009 at 10:03 pm mcguffers

Schnookie, clearly those two scenarios are comparable.

Patty, I know, but the excitement was too much. EVERY time I need the Rangers/Panthers/Hurricanes to lose, they win. But not tonight! (Well, the Hurricanes kind of had to win to get the Rangers to lose, but ya know.)

These rules are getting more complex.

Maybe I was wrong and it was actually the 8 remaining Islanders fans singing the goodbye song to the Habs as if to say, “Please, please just go.”

Patty, goalies are so overrated. I say that as an ex goalie.
on April 2, 2009 at 10:20 pm Patty (in Dallas)

I think the Wings have a couple of ex-goalies.
