Dear Sid,

I hear it’s really hard for teams to dominate in Game 7′s on the road. Is that true?

Alex, Washington DC

Dear Alex,

Not for me it isn’t.

(In response to your comment on the other thread, Katebits) Wait, wait, wait… BUTTHEAD? I’m sorry, “playoff goggles” is no excuse for Butthead.

That said, your comment here is basically what we originally wanted our post to say. Heh.
on May 13, 2009 at 11:44 pm Katebits

I think he’s goggle worthy. Isn’t that what playoff goggles are all about?! He looks good with his beard!
on May 13, 2009 at 11:46 pm Schnookie

Isn’t that what playoff goggles are all about?!

NO! They’re not about BUTTHEAD! :P

I suppose since you don’t have a history with him, you can’t be faulted. SIGH. Just know that everyone is pointing at you and laughing. Heh.
on May 13, 2009 at 11:49 pm Katebits

Just know that everyone is pointing at you and laughing. Heh.

Oh, I’m totally comfortable with that. And I’m also drawn to men who make me feel an sick combination of desire and disgust. (See: Drury, Chris) His name is BUTTHEAD! How long did you think I could resist him?!
on May 13, 2009 at 11:55 pm Schnookie

on May 14, 2009 at 12:00 am Patty (in Dallas)

I’m using playoff goggles to ogle Patrick Sharp, but I’m not sure I’m clear on the concept. :P
on May 14, 2009 at 12:05 am Pookie

Butthead’s like, “If I can’t win forever the heart and mind of Katebits, I’m stupid.”

And yeah, Patty, Patrick Sharp does NOT need playoff goggles!
on May 14, 2009 at 12:06 am Schnookie

Yeah, playoff goggles are for guys like CoreyPerry. Wait. Did I just say that out loud?

(Just kidding. Sheesh. There aren’t goggles enough in the world for that.)
on May 14, 2009 at 12:08 am Pookie

I think the Ducks have used their quota of playoff goggles.
on May 14, 2009 at 12:09 am Patty (in Dallas)

You need playoff goggles to watch the Ducks as a group. (Or grope, as I typed at first. I still have Mr. Beefy on my mind.)
on May 14, 2009 at 12:09 am Katebits

Patty has been harboring a secret crush on CoreyPerry for years. Don’t put the goggles on, Patty! You’ll be lost!

“If I can’t win forever the heart and mind of Katebits, I’m stupid.”

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: He’s right.
on May 14, 2009 at 12:11 am Schnookie

(Or grope, as I typed at first. I still have Mr. Beefy on my mind.)

:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: I will happily grope a very select group of Ducks. And by “group of Ducks” I mean Getzi. No one else is welcome. In case you were wondering where I stand on the pulchritude of the Ducks. I know I play my cards close to my vest with them. :P
on May 14, 2009 at 12:13 am Schnookie

Patty has been harboring a secret crush on CoreyPerry for years. Don’t put the goggles on, Patty! You’ll be lost!

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Yeah, once you go CoreyPerry, you can’t go back.
on May 14, 2009 at 12:14 am Pookie

Grope happens to be Getzi’s middle name.
on May 14, 2009 at 12:15 am Katebits

Yeah, once you go CoreyPerry, you can’t go back.

No kidding. Just TRY to wash that guy off.
on May 14, 2009 at 12:18 am Schnookie

Just TRY to wash that guy off.

Heh. Yeah, there’s no cure yet. The best you can do is make sure to avoid playoff-goggle contact with anyone else when you’re having a CoreyPerry outbreak or feel one coming on.
on May 14, 2009 at 12:19 am Katebits

It may be possible to spread CoreyPerry even when you’re NOT having an outbreak. One in five adults has CoreyPerry. That’s because so few people know they’re spreading him.
on May 14, 2009 at 12:30 am Schnookie

It’s so true. Thank god I am reminded of those facts during every commercial break on Versus these days. I mean, I could be spreading CoreyPerry right now without realizing it.
on May 14, 2009 at 12:38 am Pookie

Just like SportsGuy, I can’t wait to see Peyton Manning doing a CoreyPerry commercial!
on May 14, 2009 at 1:10 am Patty (in Dallas)

Yeah, once you go CoreyPerry, you can’t go back.

I’m definitely not going to go CoreyPerry. Although I suspect that if anybody did, the FIRST thing they’d want to do is go back.

I haven’t had many playoff ovary calling google wearers yet. Just, Looch. And Malkin. And Letang. And Chara. And…Ray Whitney. And Mike Brown. Ok…there’s a few more than I thought. Huh.
on May 14, 2009 at 1:29 am alix

Oh did I tell you guys I got my first ever blog troll the other day? Only after I moved to my big fancy blog.

A Hawks fan told me to “Get a tampon you baby. GO HAWKS!”
on May 14, 2009 at 3:29 am Caitlin

I bet this phrase is a big player in Gretzky’s coaching.

Coyote: But it’s hard to score every single night!
Wayne: Not for me it isn’t.

:D
on May 14, 2009 at 9:50 am Schnookie

Good morning, everyone!

And WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! The Caps are gone! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry. It needed to be said again. Heh.

alix, I’m so proud of you with your troll! You really know you’ve hit the big time when small-minded idiots start randomly insulting you. :D

Coyote: But it’s hard to score every single night!
Wayne: Not for me it isn’t.

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Exactly. He’s a REALLY good coach. :P
on May 14, 2009 at 9:55 am Pookie

The Caps are gone!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I have to go teach a computer class, but instead of teaching Excel, I think I’ll just spend 2 hours making my students read Pensblog.
on May 14, 2009 at 9:55 am Caitlin

The Caps are gone! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

I think God is smiting me for liking the Caps. Yesterday was horrific and today? Today is just like a thousand paper cuts of DOOOOOM. So I think this is my punishment for rooting for Ovechkin & Co. or something.

Coyote: But it’s hard to score every single night!
Wayne: Not for me it isn’t.

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

There’s a referee joke in here somewhere….

There’s a referee joke in here somewhere….

Coyote: But Coach! It’s hard to say stuff like that to the refs without getting suspended!
Wayne: Not for me it isn’t.

Hey, I tried to warn you! But would you listen? NOOOOO! :P

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah for Sidney and the Pens!!! I’m in Houston for business and haven’t got to watch any hockey in what seems like forever!!!

Just have to say that the last few posts have been genius!!!
on May 14, 2009 at 10:12 am Caitlin

I’m in Houston for business and haven’t got to watch any hockey in what seems like forever!!!

AHHH! Hey, Patty, Myra, do you guys feel like doing dinner again sometime soon?

Hey, I tried to warn you! But would you listen? NOOOOO! :P

I think my gmail account is laughing at me. The ads I keep getting are for “Caps 50% off EVERYTHING MUST GO” and I got one for “How caps ruin hair”. So clearly, in addition to this terrible couple of days, I’m … going to have a clearance cap make all my hair fall out?
on May 14, 2009 at 10:23 am Myra

I’m so sorry, Caitlin!

I would love to get together for dinner! After this meeting, my work schedule should be a little lighter. Email me!

After spending most of the last 11 years around other moms, the last 24 hours have been spent with almost all men. It has been surprisingly delightful.

Also, my playoff crushes, which I have not been able to indulge of late, are Jonas Hiller and the entire Blackhawk team. Hang on Jonas, I’m coming back for you!!!
on May 14, 2009 at 10:24 am Schnookie

I’d say that’s awful, but… I wasn’t watching the hockey either. :P

I’m so impressed that you’re on a bona fide business trip, Myra! You’re such a mover and a shaker!
on May 14, 2009 at 10:38 am Caitlin

Myra, I am too impressed with the business trip! Hee! Have fun in Houston. Hope it doesn’t smell like a big oil refinery like it normally does.

After this meeting, my work schedule should be a little lighter. Email me!

Yay, will do!
on May 14, 2009 at 10:40 am Amy

My playoff crushes are Baby Crunchy and Brent Seabrook. And he’s not even in the playoffs, but after reading about David Backes and the stray dog rescuing and puppy delivering, I’m in full crush mode.
on May 14, 2009 at 11:15 am Caitlin

after reading about David Backes and the stray dog rescuing and puppy delivering

Huh what?! Really, now?
on May 14, 2009 at 11:24 am Amy

Huh what?! Really, now?

Mrs. Backes rescued a pregnant Boxer from the side of the road and after some negotiation with her hubby, the Backes family decided to foster the boxer during the remainder of her pregnancy. When she went into labor, one of the puppies got stuck and so they had to race to the vet. All the puppies survived, and Backes was able to help deliver them at the vet’s office.
on May 14, 2009 at 11:42 am Patty (in Dallas)

Caitlin, let me know, too!
on May 14, 2009 at 12:01 pm Pookie

Myra, a business trip sounds fun!

I have no new playoff crushes, and Getzi and Looch are man enough to be all the playoff crush a girl could ask for.
on May 14, 2009 at 12:02 pm Patty (in Dallas)

My playoff crush is Mr. Beefy, buy my playoff true love is Sidney Crosby. :P
on May 14, 2009 at 12:09 pm Patty (in Dallas)

Buy my? I mean but my. I probably shouldn’t say anything, though. Now he’ll be jinxed.
on May 14, 2009 at 12:17 pm Caitlin

Caitlin, let me know, too!

Yay! I’ve been crazy busy at work, but I’ll e-mail y’all this afternoon.

All the puppies survived, and Backes was able to help deliver them at the vet’s office.

That’s amazing! (And boxers, I think, are just about the most adorable dogs ever!)
on May 14, 2009 at 12:28 pm Pookie

It’s okay, Patty, Sid’s used to having to buy love.
on May 14, 2009 at 12:30 pm andrew

Morning everyone! What’s shakin’?

I saw the Pensblog photo of Ovechkin this morning with a big red “Elimin8ed” written across it. I thought that was pretty funny. Not that I had a horse in that race.

Please tell me Sid bought you something good in return for your love. :)

The “Stunned” arrow on the Google Map of DC cracked me up.
on May 14, 2009 at 1:02 pm Schnookie

I loved that!

I’m all busy today soaking up the schadenfreude reading Caps blogs. I’m such a terrible person. Heh. :P

Dear Sid,

Any advise?

Love Eric S, Raleigh, NC
on May 14, 2009 at 1:05 pm andrew

The “Stunned” arrow on the Google Map of DC cracked me up.

And the photoshop with Ovie carrying the giant cherries. Awesome.

As it stands, I didn’t watch any of the games. I was protesting the hype. I’m just glad it’s over…we can now return to our regularly scheduled Sid tongue-baths (coming up on the VS. intermission report!).
on May 14, 2009 at 1:13 pm carolbrowne

Hey guys! Pookie and Schookie – you must be feeling pretty good now! The Penguins win AND the winner from America’s Next Top Model is from New Jersey!

I feel your pride beaming all the way over to the West Coast of Canada.

And Alix, I don’t understand your troll.

A Hawks fan told me to “Get a tampon you baby. GO HAWKS!”

Babies don’t use tampons. The hell? Stupid troll.
on May 14, 2009 at 1:21 pm Pookie

I feel your pride beaming all the way over to the West Coast of Canada.

:^::::::::::::::::::: That was the least interesting season of ANTM ever. That said… I can’t wait for the next season! Heh. But yes, I am feeling quite good. I’m giddy. If only my co-workers could join me in sitting around and giggling endlessly about Semin’s comments about Sid from earlier this year.
on May 14, 2009 at 1:29 pm Schnookie

Babies don’t use tampons. The hell? Stupid troll.

:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Yeah, that troll didn’t really think that one through all the way. :P

And the photoshop with Ovie carrying the giant cherries. Awesome.

That was fantastic! Oh man, it feels SO good today for that series to be over. In fact, I think that’s what’s contributing to my utter conviction that it’s Friday. Nothing anyone says or does can convince me otherwise.
on May 14, 2009 at 1:41 pm Patty (in Dallas)

I saw the Pensblog photo of Ovechkin this morning with a big red “Elimin8ed” written across it.

I saw a kid holding an “Elimin8 the Caps” sign in Game 6, but since they didn’t, I forgot all about it!

I can’t wait to check out Pensblog at home.
on May 14, 2009 at 1:42 pm andrew

In fact, I think that’s what’s contributing to my utter conviction that it’s Friday. Nothing anyone says or does can convince me otherwise.

Hey, that’s cool with me. But I’ll tell ya…That means tomorrow’s gonna suck.
on May 14, 2009 at 1:43 pm Amy

That was the least interesting season of ANTM ever.

I’m still trying to figure out a) what Miss Jay was wearing at the runway show and b) what writhing around on the floor in grease has to do with fashion.

And I love that Pensblog changed it’s header to show Ovie playing golf.
on May 14, 2009 at 1:45 pm Schnookie

But I’ll tell ya…That means tomorrow’s gonna suck.

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::: I’m going at it with a glass-half-full approach. This happened to me last week, too, and I ended up being totally excited about it because it meant I got two fridays, and who doesn’t love fridays? :D
on May 14, 2009 at 1:47 pm Schnookie

b) what writhing around on the floor in grease has to do with fashion.

HA! Yeah, that was met with a big round of “oh-kaaaaay…” from us.
on May 14, 2009 at 1:54 pm mcguffers

b) what writhing around on the floor in grease has to do with fashion.

What DOESN’T it have to do with fashion? Believe me, when I applied to fashion school in Paris, my lack of grease art was a definite disadvantage. I took that lesson to heart, and I will totally be prepared for the Ice Dancers tryout.
on May 14, 2009 at 2:00 pm Schnookie

I took that lesson to heart, and I will totally be prepared for the Ice Dancers tryout.

Oh thank goodness you said that, because I was afraid you were going to look at me funny when I suggested we work on our “writhing on the floor in grease” routine…
on May 14, 2009 at 2:06 pm mcguffers

Don’t worry, Schnookie. Way ahead of you. There’s Penzoil all over the living room floor right now and canola in the kitchen. I’m experimenting with shampoo as well. It works surprisingly well.
on May 14, 2009 at 2:11 pm Schnookie

Oooh, shampoo! What a great idea! That’ll create suds, which’ll be sooo sexy. We are going to be SO much more awesome than the other girls auditioning.
on May 14, 2009 at 2:18 pm Pookie

When you’re all finished, you can just call Looch in, and he’ll lick all the oil up off the floor for you!
on May 14, 2009 at 2:20 pm mcguffers

When you’re all finished, you can just call Looch in, and he’ll lick all the oil up off the floor for you!

Hopefully he’ll have some free time after tonight…
on May 14, 2009 at 2:28 pm carolbrowne

b) what writhing around on the floor in grease has to do with fashion.

It’s “art”. SNORT!
on May 14, 2009 at 2:28 pm Amy

Also, make sure your faux ponytail falls off and you twirl it around for added effect.
on May 14, 2009 at 2:43 pm alix

Babies don’t use tampons. The hell? Stupid troll.

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

Exactly! The troll couldn’t even insult me properly! Lols.

Dear Vancouver media,

If I read one more article about trading Lui, I will cut you. Dude was a giant slut in the biggest game of the year, yes. But do you even remember who Vancouver used to have in net? Find something new to write about you skanky bitches.

XOXO Alix
on May 14, 2009 at 3:15 pm Schnookie

It’s “art”. SNORT!

Hells yeah! And it becomes especially artsy once the Looch licking comes into play.
on May 14, 2009 at 3:25 pm Amy

And it becomes especially artsy once the Looch licking comes into play.

Are you sure he wasn’t the random dude writhing around with them?
on May 14, 2009 at 3:30 pm Schnookie

That guy didn’t have a hunch. :P

*sigh* Go Penguins. *sigh*
on May 14, 2009 at 7:02 pm alix

God. So true, Carol.

Gillis snarking on the reporters at this press ocnference is so amusing. And kind of hott. I think I need help.

YAY 2 MORE YEARS OF BIG BEAR!!
on May 14, 2009 at 7:15 pm Schnookie

All right, everybody, say it with me, “GO DUCKS!”

And wait, Kris Draper’s still alive? And/or hasn’t been playing in this series?
on May 14, 2009 at 7:21 pm Amy

All right, everybody, say it with me, “GO DUCKS!”

Go Ducks!

This series seems to have more than its fair share of grizzled vets.

Dude, this game blows. :P
on May 14, 2009 at 7:30 pm Schnookie

Boomer just pointed out the borderpatrol.gov dasher ad at the Joe. I’m glad to know we’re going to have Red Wings fans keeping our northern border safe from the likes of alix and Carol.
on May 14, 2009 at 7:31 pm mcguffers

why is this game on first? I still live on the East Coast right?
on May 14, 2009 at 7:37 pm Pookie

You have got to call a dive on that, too! 2 and 2! Sheesh.
on May 14, 2009 at 7:39 pm Schnookie

Man, I hate when there’s no karmic justice for dives.
on May 14, 2009 at 7:40 pm Schnookie

Now that the Caps are out, I think the greatest threat to America in hockey is Red Wing fans. :P

Now that the Caps are out, I think the greatest threat to America in hockey is Red Wing fans. :P

I’m starting to wonder what you guys say about Sabres’ fans behind our back…
on May 14, 2009 at 7:48 pm Schnookie

I don’t say anything about Sabres fans behind your back that I don’t say to your face, you classless beeyotch. :P

And what idiot scheduled these games at the same time, but not even staggered so we can watch one during the other’s intermission? I’m sure it was a Sabres fan.
on May 14, 2009 at 7:55 pm mcguffers

I’m sure it was a Sabres fan.

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

I came back from vacation last summer and told a friend of mine how I met a guy who was a Red Wings fan (cause I’ve never actually met one in real life.) With a complete matter-of-fact face, my friend goes, “I bet he was a dickhead.” Ever since that, I keep wanting to meet another Red Wing fan so I can ask if he’s a dickhead.

on May 14, 2009 at 8:05 pm Schnookie

It’s the chicken-and-the-egg question! It applies to the Rangers, too. And the Flyers, come to think of it…
on May 14, 2009 at 8:05 pm Amy

And what idiot scheduled these games at the same time, but not even staggered so we can watch one during the other’s intermission?

But Schnookie, we get to see the end of the Bruins/Canes game, so it’s like getting the best of both worlds. Except not.

To paraphrase Wil Wheaton’s twitter feed: “Dear NHL: Your television policy sucks giant donkey balls.” (Yes, I did just paraphrase Wesley Crusher. I’ll be over in the corner reveling in my geekdom.)
on May 14, 2009 at 8:06 pm alix

Uggggh. I don’t want to see those snotty Blackhawk brats do well, but I don’t think I could stand it if Wings fans got another Cup either. Playoffs suck.

I might just have to cheer for Booby Ryan and Hiller. Oh by the way I found out today Hiller knows how to fix cars AND he likes to make fondue. RAWR.

HAHA Booby Ryan. It was a typo but I like it.
on May 14, 2009 at 8:07 pm Schnookie

“Dear NHL: Your television policy sucks giant donkey balls.”

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: And I had not considered that this evening’s slate was carefully planned so that BOS/CAR’s garbage time will be on Versus. That’s a very good point.

And BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Stupid Wings. It’s Looch time for us now. Thanks for nothing, Getzi!
on May 14, 2009 at 8:20 pm mcguffers

Uh, I think checking on the Bruins game broke my computer. That sucked.

I’m finally getting the chance to see the “Sex and the City” movie. The bridesmaids wore the same color dresses in my mom and dad’s wedding. Except my mom most definitely did not wear a dead bird on her head. And my dad showed up.
on May 14, 2009 at 8:22 pm Pookie

Except my mom most definitely did not wear a dead bird on her head. And my dad showed up.

What a happy ending! :D

Woo, Boston! I bet that made Looch happy.
on May 14, 2009 at 8:22 pm Schnookie

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO BITZ!

We tried to watch the SATC movie over the All-Star Break, and our PPV got all screwed up on our satellite, so we missed the first half hour. But we did see the dead bird on Sarah Jessica Parker’s head.

And that’s my story about that. Not as interesting as your story, mcguffers, but your story was sad with the whole “your mom didn’t have the dead bird” part.
on May 14, 2009 at 8:31 pm mcguffers

I bet the dead bird would make Looch happy too.

This movie is really damn depressing. I love Charlotte though.
on May 14, 2009 at 8:34 pm Schnookie

Looch loves dead birds! Although it would be a really bad idea to wear one on your head around him, because he’d probably end up ripping your head off in his eagerness to eat the bird.

And yeah, the movie is a COMPLETE downer. It’s not even remotely fun, although Charlotte does her best to transcend it.
on May 14, 2009 at 8:37 pm Pookie

Little known fact — Looch has a thriving haute coture millinery business in the off-season.

He does. He loves high-fashion hats. And dead birds. When the two converge, he’s in heaven.

Looch has a thriving haute coture millinery business in the off-season.

Isn’t Avery doing his own line of hand bags? They’d make a cute couple.

I managed to catch Pronger wrestling some disgusting Wing to the ice and getting away with it. It’s amazing how funny it is when he does stuff like that to somebody I hate worse. :D

Patty, that pretty much sums up the playoffs for me. Rooting for a douchey team just because I hate the other douchey team more. (thanks Caps for making me feel dirty and shitty.)

And here’s my commentary on fashion. Why are butt ugly clothes/accessories considered awesome just because of the label?

It’s so true, isn’t it? And actually, now that the Caps are out, I don’t feel that way about any of the remaining teams. This is the first playoffs in a few years where I’m finding my fondness for the remaining teams growing with every round. I mean, I got to get my “death is not an option” matchups out of the way early this year.

Whoever comes out of the Wings/Ducks series is going to be the team I hate most in the round. I hope it’s the Ducks. But I still hate them.

It’s still very much up in the air which team I’m cheering for in the WCF.

I’m going to root for the spunky ‘Hawks, but I won’t be optimistic. :P

That’s funny. Jussi never killed penalties at home.
