1. Yesterday afternoon something really strange happened here at stately IPB Manor — we had a long, rambling conversation about the Devils roster. It’s been about a year since we’ve done that, since all of our conversations last season were all about how much of a disconnect we had from the team thanks to a bunch of old, slow, washed-up one-year free agent signings. And in the course of this conversation, Boomer off-handedly mentioned Kevin Weekes, as she hadn’t read that Weekesie was on his way out. As we explained that the Devils had signed Yann Danis, and then refreshed Boomer’s memory about who Yann Danis is, we had a shocking realization. Danis is not just the latest forgettable guy who’s going to get three starts for the Devils behind Marty; no, he’s part of Lemaire’s new offensive scheme. Remember how last year it always took the Devils about 45 shots to score a single goal against the Islanders? Well, now we’ve got an Islanders goalie facing the Devils during practice. This means that Lemaire’s going to be able to hold up a truly shitty team shooting percentage from practices and issue an edict that they need to rethink their shooting strategy. We figure he’s going to enact a rule that Devils players are only allowed to shoot if they are absolutely certain the puck will go in, and if they don’t, they’ll get tazed.
2. On something of the same note, now that the Islanders have Biron, we are not going to be subjected to low-scoring games against the Islanders anymore. We’re still guaranteed to be able to score 36 goals in six games against one division opponent this coming season, but that opponent is now on the Island instead of in Philly.
3. Also continuing on that same note, is Zach going to have to change the name of Shot Club when shooting is no longer allowed?
4. And continuing even further with some of the themes discussed in item #1, we’ve been very surprised at the vehemence with which Boomer hates the Lemaire hiring. We’ve said it before here, but it bears repeating that Boomer is normally extremely mellow about the Devils. Deeply dedicated to them, yes, but demonstrative? No. And yet she can’t shut up this summer about how miserable she is about Lemaire. How much the team has disappointed her. How much she’s dreading the season starting again. It’s nothing but doom and gloom. So we’ve decided she should start her own “I Hate Lemaire As Coach Of The Devils” blog, just to make us look cheery and optimistic by comparison.
5. And speaking of the Lemaire hiring, we got to discussing yesterday afternoon who we would have chosen in his place. We were forced to admit that we actually pay very little attention to head coaches around the league, because so much of what seems to be genius coaching often smacks just of “the right guy in the right place at the right time” (see: Robinson, Larry, in 2000, and Bylsma, Dan, last year). After agreeing that we didn’t really have any idea who would have been a better choice, the following exchange took place:
Schnookie: Of course, I will be more than happy to admit in mid-June, if necessary, that I was wrong about Lemaire.
Pause.
Schnookie, Pookie, and Boomer, [in unison]: SNORT!
Pookie: I’ve never cared before about our head coaches because no matter who they are, the team is always the same.
Schnookie: That’s why I figured as long as it wasn’t Lemaire, it wouldn’t matter who Lou hired. But the qualifier there was “as long as it wasn’t Lemaire.”
Boomer: [Spluttering in incoherent rage about Lemaire.]
Pookie: I knew all along it was going to be Lemaire, so I didn’t bother even considering “as long as it wasn’t him”. I knew it was going to be him, so it wasn’t worth it.
Schnookie: I can’t think of the last time Boomer was this pissed off about a move the Devils made. I think it might have been when we brought Claude Lemieux back.
Pookie: And look how that turned out! Maybe this time around Jacques will win us two Cups!
Schnookie: I didn’t feel that way about Lemaire. But I was positive before it happened that we were bringing Blobby back last summer.
Boomer: And look how that turned out.
Pookie: Yeah, he won us, like, the opposite of two Cups.
6. Finally, last night we were watching Jeopardy (we know, we know…) and saw a local commercial for Path-Mark. And it was so bizarre and so charmingly “regional grocery store commercial” that we felt like we were watching a hockey game on satellite from Canada. It was a nice feeling. We wish the season would hurry up and get here already.
The Islanders grabbing Marty is funny to me, because they couldn’t win against him. Maybe their plan is to use him to learn how to crack the Flyers. Heh.
Yeah, their previous plan had been to ask Pretty Ricky, who would respond, “Uh… I’m pretty sure you want to end up with fewer goals than the Flyers by the end of the game… Ow, my brain hurts!”
Maybe their plan is to use him to learn how to crack the Flyers.
Considering we’re planning to crack the Islanders by using Danis, I really can’t criticize them for trying the same plan to beat the Flyers. :D
“Uh… I’m pretty sure you want to end up with fewer goals than the Flyers by the end of the game… Ow, my brain hurts!”

I’m kind of torn this season because for as much as the Sabres have not changed at all (*irritated sigh*), the Habs lost their heart. Well, the hooker/blow/mob club is still there sans Higgins. How did that help? Gionta and Gomez? Really? Now it’s just gonna be more of a pain in the ass because the equipment guy has to find shorter hookers.
(I left Cammalleri out of my rant cause I like him. heh.)
It’s a good thing he’s pretty.
Maybe Ricky thought his prettiness would shine through the mask and stun the Flyers into missing the net. He’s like that.
Now it’s just gonna be more of a pain in the ass because the equipment guy has to find shorter hookers.
Who says they have to go for hookers their own height? Maybe they aren’t picky!
Maybe they aren’t picky!
Good point. We’re talking about Gomez here.
Maybe Ricky thought his prettiness would shine through the mask and stun the Flyers into missing the net.
Farter’s prettiness would make him immune to that. Their prettiness negates each other.

“Damnation!” says Ricky, “I forgot to factor in the prettiness of the other team!”
Farter’s prettiness would make him immune to that. Their prettiness negates each other.
But Ricky wouldn’t realize that. He is totally absorbed by his own prettiness. So, he wouldn’t take Farter’s negating impact into the equation. Well, I doubt he can do math.
Anyway, have we just come up with some new hockey theory here – how to use your “prettiness quotient” to impact the outcome of the game – or negate another player’s PQ impact?
But Ricky wouldn’t realize that. He is totally absorbed by his own prettiness. So, he wouldn’t take Farter’s negating impact into the equation. Well, I doubt he can do math.
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Yeah, if there was ever a pretty hockey player who was not mentally equipped to make corrections in his calculations to account for the other team, Pretty Ricky was that player.
Maybe they aren’t picky!
Good point. We’re talking about Gomez here.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! See how hard I can laugh at that? It’s because he’s not on my team anymore, AND he’s not a Ranger! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Heh.
OH MY GOD! Sandra’s TOTALLY topped herself on “Money Saving Meals”. In her “fast food, made at home” episode she makes “single-serving apple pies”. And you know HOW she makes them? Whole wheat wraps, smeared with peanut butter, and then filled with canned apple pie filling. And to think, I was sad she had abandoned the Semi-Homemade thing. This is BRILLIANT!
And you know HOW she makes them? Whole wheat wraps, smeared with peanut butter, and then filled with canned apple pie filling.
I haven’t bought a McDonalds McApple McPie recently, but aren’t the whole wheat wraps more expensive that the original McDessert alone? Plus peanut butter and apple pie filling aren’t cheap either. It’s definitely a good thing she’s pretty.
but aren’t the whole wheat wraps more expensive that the original McDessert alone?
That’s what I was thinking too. She also insisted that making french fries at home is cheaper than buying them from Ye Olde Faste Foode Jointe, because the potatoes she was using cost $1.49, and three medium orders of fries would run you over $9. Now, I find the $9 suspect, but I also find suspect that making french fries at home doesn’t seem to take into account the cost of the frying oil and the cost of the significant labor involved. Hmph.
It’s definitely a good thing she’s pretty.

That? Is the most terrible thing I’ve ever heard. (I also have a fryer that I almost never use, just because it’s such a fucking pain in the ass to clean it up. Sandra wasn’t factoring that in either, was she?)
it’s such a fucking pain in the ass to clean it up. Sandra wasn’t factoring that in either, was she?
And yet later on in the show, she said the savings in using canned apple pie filling over homemade was “time”.
I can’t believe we’ve caught Sandra Lee in an example of idiocy!
And yet later on in the show, she said the savings in using canned apple pie filling over homemade was “time”.
Ah, well see there ya go. An hour of Sandra Lee’s time = $100 dollars. An hour of my time = 1 McDonald’s apple pie.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! It seems like such an obvious equation — why didn’t I think of that? :P
I think we need to convince people to pay much less for Sandra’s time and more for, well, all of ours’.
As long as they’re paying more for our time, I’m happy.
So… when does that start, the paying me more for my time? :P
I’m just had a vision of a ‘cooking’ show starring Sandra and Pretty Ricky. Actually, it would be entirely vacuous, I think.

Throw in Derek Roy to do bedazzled kitchen and tablescapes, and I’d watch. The bitchfight between Sandy and Roy-Z at decorating time would be amazing.
I really want to see that bedazzled tablescape!
I bet Roy-Z says, when going into the dressing room after games, “I just need to change into a sweet, pretty little party outfit!”
By “sweet, pretty little party outfit” you’re either talking about a white suit or a fur lined cowboy hat.

Good morning, everyone! You know what today is? It’s the last Monday in July! We’re getting so close to October I can taste it! (Very, very faintly.)
October tasty muggy. And like July. Heh.
I know, it really does. I’ve been kind of disappointed by that, but hey, who’s gonna complain about it being October? Right? Right?
Morning, IPB! Awww, man, I feel like Boomer needs a hug.
HAHA! I’ll tell her you said that, Caitlin. Even she’s taken aback by how actively down on the Devils she’s been lately. It’s like it took them 14 years to do it, but they’ve broken her of her blind, “maybe next year!” optimism. Heh.
It’s like it took them 14 years to do it, but they’ve broken her of her blind, “maybe next year!” optimism. Heh.
Well, you can tell her that I sympathize. I have no hope for the season because of the hiring of Marc Crawford. I’m trying to be positive but I’m convinced we’ll end up last in the league.
In conclusion: Fist bumps to Boomer. :D

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
And I’d try to talk you out of your negativity, but… I agree about Crawford. Last in the league, though, means a good draft pick! So at least there’s that! :P
I second the Fist bumps to Boomer on the coaching situation. Crawford talks a good talk in his interviews but I’m not buying it. I am still buying a 10 game season package. I think that means I’m a masochist.
Have we gotten a Hipster Emporium report from Amy and I’ve missed it?
I am still buying a 10 game season package. I think that means I’m a masochist.
Well, of course! I’ve been complaining about hockey for the last 15 years, and you don’t see me trying to find something better to spend my time and money on, do you? :P
And no, we haven’t heard yet on the Hipster Emporium. I’m waiting with bated breath! (Also, I have to hold my breath to be able to fit in my boob hoodie.)
Crawford talks a good talk in his interviews but I’m not buying it.
I’d be mroe inclined to buy what he’s selling if I hadn’t watched him coach the Kings 8 games a year for the past few years. He might out-yell Gretzky when it comes to refs. Blech.
Last in the league, though, means a good draft pick! So at least there’s that! :P
Watch Crawford suck *just* enough for us to not have a decent draft pick.
I’m waiting with bated breath!
Does anyone know if Amy’s taking pictures? I feel all these hideous clothes in one place deserves to be documented in photos. (*Also, I would be jazzed to see how grotesque Crunchy’s store is.)
Yeah, there is nothing in Marc Crawford’s past history (and that includes 1996) that makes me think it’s worth buying whatever he says in interviews. Heh.
Yeah, I’m truly sorry for you guys having to deal with Crawford. I’m sitting here just dying for the season to start again but sometimes I wonder why… :D
Do you think Crunchy gives his overpriced clothes as presents and then expects similiarly priced objects back in return? like “I just gave you a $350 plain white t-shirt, and all you gave me was a $250 Ipod? you cheap bastard!”
“I just gave you a $350 plain white t-shirt, and all you gave me was a $250 Ipod? you cheap bastard!”
Oh, there is NO QUESTION he does that. But he also spouts his “Life can’t be just about driving around buying stuff” line, just to make the person stuck shopping for him feel even more inadequate. He’s terrible.
“I just gave you a $350 plain white t-shirt, and all you gave me was a $250 Ipod? you cheap bastard!”
Secret Santa in the Sabres locker room has GOT to be a bitch. You have to make sure you buy something environmentally safe for Goose, something squeaky and chewy for Pommers, something child protected for Kaleta, something trashy and easy for Timmy… the list of rules goes on and on.
By the way, I know this was already on the news, but if you go to youtube and search for “JK wedding entrance dance”, I promise you will smile.

Crunchy and Gwyneth Paltrow should be friends. No, seriously! If you’ve ever read (or read a mockery of) her GOOP newsletter, it sounds remarkably like something Crunchy would recommend.
(I bet he does her ‘detoxes’ to lose weight.)

Watch Crawford suck *just* enough for us to not have a decent draft pick.
That does suck, but, if this happens to a team you hate, it can be wonderful. I remember when this happened to the Rangers regularly during their years out of the playoffs. They would be bad enough to miss, and yet not bad enough to pick high. And then, the time they did make the big moves to get the draft picks they picked…Jamie Lundmark and Pavel Brendl.
I love that “detox” is the new “anorexia”.

Well, mcguffers, Crunchy would beg to differ, seeing as how he’s had eight glasses of water with a tablespoon of lemon juice, a teaspoon of cayenne pepper and maple syrup. That’s totally calories! :p

Is anyone else having a hard time staying awake?
I’ve been reading about our new “client relationship management” system (ok, it’s a database) and I’m snoozing my way through it.
Is anyone else having a hard time staying awake?
Yes! I’ve had a problem in the last few days where I’ve been really mentally engaged and restless. I’m all wound up and all over the place. So while I’ve been very productive, I’ve also been very “early to bed and early to rise.” Today I sprang out of bed and bounded across the neighborhood to be at the top of the hill in McMansionville so I could take pictures of the sunrise, then zipped (on foot) to work so I could tackle a project I’d been putting off for weeks. I was so “on” that I found a whole new way of approaching it that made me super-efficient. I crossed a bunch of stuff off my rapidly-expanding to-do list. And then I crashed at, like, 11. I’ve been nodding off ever since. It’s rough, man. I liked myself better when I was a lot lazier, and I hope this phase passes quickly. I don’t like being a doer.
I think I had so much on my to-do list for so long that now that I’m caught up, I can’t handle it.
Oh, pictures at sunrise! Did you get some good ones?
I’ve also been letting my to-do list go lately, so I’m kind of deliberately not finishing it all off right away now that the project that’s been eating up all my time is over. I don’t want to be in a position where I don’t have ANYTHING to fall back on to do! :P
And I hope the pictures turned out! We have a new lens that I’m still learning, and I’ve had some focus issues with it. If it didn’t work, there will always be other sunrises (I hope!). :D
My to-do list today involved printing my own photos on Shrinky Dink paper! It was wild! I never played with Shrinky Dinks when I was a kid — it always seemed like something only KtG and Schnookie were cool enough for — so it was quite the exciting morning! :D
Holy cow! Shrinky Dink paper! Even the Kid didn’t have that.
I’ve been reading about our new “client relationship management” system (ok, it’s a database) and I’m snoozing my way through it.
Myra, CRM isn’t an eye-poppingly thrilling topic at the best of times and if they leave you to just read about the database on your own, it’s pretty much guarranteed to make you want to nap.
I have to develop some training materials for a client to train his sales force on the new lead system we are finishing up for him and one of the main things I am trying to do is help him keep them awake.
it always seemed like something only KtG and Schnookie were cool enough for
For the record, I don’t remember playing with shrinky-dinks when I was a kid. Just so you all don’t get some crazy ideas that I was somehow much cooler than Pookie. :P
Really, Schnookie? Maybe I just projected you and KtG onto the kids in the commercials.
and one of the main things I am trying to do is help him keep them awake.
GOOD LUCK, Sue!
Our trainer was TERRIBLE, plus I missed some of the training because I was so heavily involved in getting our new website launched. So now I am going back through the handbook. Bleh.

Way late, but I’ve never met Thomas either! He’s a phantom, I swear. It was totally random how I got hooked up with him; I placed an order online and he e-mailed me letting me know I could save service fees by dealing with him directly.
I feel kind of bad because I was going to order season tickets last year and never did; this year I can’t afford them. Seeing e-mails in my inbox from him makes me feel like I let my ticket guy down, seriously. (Why yes, I AM neurotic.)
Myra, Patty, I am very excited for you!
I never got to play with Shrinky Dinx either. I think they took them off the market for a few years due to the originals having toxic fumes or something, which was not of the good.
I did get my sister’s hand-me-down Popples and Transformers, though. Those were pretty cool. (Popples were cool if you were a kid. Not as an adult.)
alix, I was attempting to make jewelry out of the Shrinky Dinks, actually! I think my method needs a bit of tweaking, but so far, so good! My goal was to make a few fun necklaces out of the pictures we took at Christmas last year so that I can be extra-festive during this December! :D

Good morning, everyone! I gotta say, it’s finally sweltering hot and suffocatingly muggy here (we’re having a “keep your office lights off” energy-saving day here at work, even!), so it finally seems like summer. Man, having fall weather for most of June and July did nothing to make this off-season seem more bearable. Now that we’ve got a day that feels like it shouldn’t have hockey, it’s all starting to make sense to me…
Good morning to you all! Speaking of weather, we got this little nugget from the Devils twitter feed: “Jamie Langenbrunner just said bad weather forced him to cancel his family tubing trip to Wisconsin today…”
And it’s Zach’s 25th birthday!
Aw, the poor Langer family! Of course, Langer himself still hasn’t earned the right to fun and frolic, but I would never take that out on his family… :P
As for Zach’s birthday, kids grow up so fast these days! Heh.
