Our (HD) broadcast leads off with Gel-O reminding us that the Devils were terrible last night against the Sabres. Thanks, Gel-O. We’d totally forgotten. He then hands off to Doc and Chico, and Doc does a workmanlike job of sounding excited to be reporting that Yann Danis is starting tonight. We sound significantly less excited about it here at stately IPB Manor.
FIRST PERIOD
19:17 Chara doesn’t seem to read IPB – He fumbles the puck at the point, then, crumbling under pressure from Langer, falls over, leaving Langer to chug down the other way on a two-on-one. (He doesn’t score.) Silly Chara! There’s no reason to be afraid of Langer!
18:15 Our senile cat won’t stop yowling. The horribleness of listening to the racket it making us nostalgic for the Devils/Sabres game from last night. It’s just that bad.
17:02 Both teams’ fourth lines are out and Doc informs us that it will certainly be fun to watch them against each other. As we watch Peters lumber around the defensive zone, Schnookie sighs, “Just because his job is to fight doesn’t mean Andrew Peters is exciting to watch.” Boomer adds, “Even when he’s fighting.” The Bruins’ fourth line gets a grade-A scoring chance right on the doorstep, and Danis coolly stops it. We don’t think that’s what Doc had in mind.
15:12 Travis makes a typically foxy defensive move deep in the Devils zone. Pookie: “AcornsNation is just showing off how much better it is than IronBoarSylvania.”
13:54 Schnookie: “You know what I can’t spell anymore? ‘Pennsylvania’. I’m just looking at the ‘-sylvania’ on ‘IronBoarSylvania’ and thinking it looks wrong.” Pookie: “Would you prefer if I called it ‘IronBoarOpolis’?” Schnookie: “No, that’s just a city.”
13:00 The cat has not shut up yet. It seems he’s lost his kitty bearings in the front hall, and can’t figure out how to find the living room, which is right behind him. A friend recently informed us that a sign of cat Alzheimers is “inappropriate vocalization”. Meanwhile, the Devils put the puck into the net (behind Thomas, not Danis), but the whistle apparently blew. Doc and Chico have no explanation for it. It seems our officials are suffering a case of inappropriate whistling.
11:59 As we have been discussing Mahmoud’s diagnostic issues, Pookie has decided to look up why Rollie keeps developing small, unexplained bald patches. She discovers that it might be a sign of what is essentially kitty OCD. Rollie’s probably anxious because her namesake is most certainly the worst hockey player in the NHL.
10:02 Doc murmurs during the course of his play-by-play, “If they had Milan Lucic… If they had Marc Savard… If they had Jay Pandolfo… If they had Patrik Elias…” Pookie finishes for him, “This game might be interesting, and I might not be reading about cat alopecia.”
8:14 Pookie is still trying to solve Rollie’s hair-loss problems, and suggests that if she was called “Sid” she might not be so patchy. “Or maybe her secret cat name is Getzi! ‘Oops. My fur fell off.’” Pause. “Or maybe she loses a patch of fur every time Rolston does something bad. She’s just been lucky that the Devils haven’t been playing lots of back-to-backs.”
6:35 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s time to change Rollie’s name to Clarkson! Boogerfors finds himself on a two-on-one off of a broken sequence of plays in the Devils’ zone, fires a big slapshot that trickles through a hard-challenging Thomas, and Clarkson is there to tap the loose puck all the way into the net. It’s 1-0 Devils, and the timing on this is perfect, as Chico was, just before the play started, telling us how the Devils had 12 giveaways last night and forced only 2. Our blood was starting to boil at that stat, but now we’re feeling all happy and WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
5:01 At the exact same moment that Schnookie is pointing out to Pookie that the Iron Boar got an assist on Clarkson’s goal, IronBoarSylvania suffers a terrible blow from its emperor-god taking a terrible hooking penalty behind the Devils net. Chico promises us, though, that the Bruins PP is “terrible”.
3:29 For the first two thirds of it, the Bruins PP really is terrible. We spend it discussing how a number of Nations are trying to woo Pookie tonight. Schnookie suggests BoogerforsNation is making the best pitch, but Pookie insists that will never happen. Regardless, we both like the idea of Bergfors flirting like Woody Allen in “Love and Death”.
3:01 Chico really wasn’t kidding about the Bruins power play, was he?
0:00 We missed the last three minutes of the period because we were watching clips on YouTube of “Love and Death”. We look up to see Gel-O interviewing Clarkson, and Pookie exclaims, “GOD, he’s handsome.” Of Clarkson. Not of Gel-O.
SECOND PERIOD
19:59 The game resumes with a start. One second we’re watching commercials, the next second we’re looking at an almost ridiculously handsome Clarkson on the bench, and Doc is mid-sentence.
19:38 The Iron Boar was as taken by surprise by the start of the period as we were, and he takes a slashing penalty to break up a Bruins odd-man rush.
19:01 Shit. The lousy PP Of the Bruins looks like it may have broken Whitey. He gets hit by a point shot, and, despite being pinned in the zone, looks gimpy. This PP is clearly not terrible enough.
18:19 Well, Whitey seems like he might be okay. We’re still not happy with the relative crappiness of the Boston power play.
17:28 Just as we are discussing how the Bruins PP might just be actually terrible, Iron Boar gets out of the box, the teams go to even strength, Oduya gets his stick broken by a point shot, and the Bruins score on the rebound. It’s a 1-1 game. Chico tells us that Oduya has been the victim of some bad breaks, but also has been playing like crap. Even Chico doesn’t believe in OduyaNation’s chances.
16:52 Oh for fuck’s sake. Peters and Ference jostle a bit in front of the benches, and when Ference takes a little posturing swat around Peters’s shoulders, Peters makes like he’s been butt-ended in the mouth. That’s just shameful. He should be benched for that shit.
15:25 We are informed that this is “a completely different beginning to this period for the Devils than in the first.” Yes. This period is looking a lot more Devils/Sabres-ish. It’s as if the Devils think they’re playing at home.
12:14 Any old time Zach decides he doesn’t want to be invisible anymore works for us.
11:40 By our unofficial count, the Devils have not had possession of the puck once yet this period.
11:00 Doc informs us that Andy Greene will be 27 tomorrow, and then adds “another defensemen is 56 today.” Pookie, while Doc waits for us to guess who he’s talking about: “Colin White!” (It’s Denis Potvin.)
8:51 On some rare Devils puck possession and offensive-zone pressure, the puck ends up bouncing in front of the net, with Thomas stuck overcommitted to the side of the crease, and Zach is unable to get a stick on it. Apparently our challenge to Zach to start contributing has fallen on deaf ears.
6:06 Doc and Chico are discovering the birth months represented by both teams’ rosters, and are totally puzzled that there are so few players born in the last quarter of the year. They won’t stop talking about it, and how it makes no sense to them. We do not have any Malcolm Gladwell fans in our broadcast booth, it would seem.
3:44 We both leave the room for a moment, and when we return we catch the Bruins failing to convert a scoring chance not unlike the one Zach muffed about five minutes ago. And Boomer reports that Oduya has left the game with a “lower-body” injury. If you’re thinking about buying some real estate cheap, that beachfront property in OduyaNation might be just what you’re looking for.
2:09 Whoa! All of a sudden it looks like Zach and Zubrus have realized they’re supposed to be playing hockey! They charge up the ice on a two-on-two, with Zach carrying the puck, and Chara trips Zubrus up to put the Devils on their first PP of the night.
0:00 We’re stunned — stunned! — that the Devils didn’t score on that PP. And so the period draws to a close, and to be perfectly frank, it’s not 20 minutes of hockey we’ll ever fondly remember. We will, however, very fondly remember this interview with Applesauce, who is in fine Boston-accent form.
THIRD PERIOD
18:06 We have fallen silent, as it’s starting to sink in that we are going to have to be leaving the house at an ungodly hour tomorrow morning to make the first in a series of trips into NYC for Schnookie’s work. We don’t like waking up early. In case you were wondering.
16:23 Up until this moment, we have been very impressed with Danis. (We make that qualifying statement because we realize he is fully capable of being a total pile of puke for the next 16 minutes.) Honestly, this is the first time we can remember not being terrified every time the puck goes near the net when Marty’s backup is in.
10:36 Seriously, we’re going to be on a train at 7:00 tomorrow morning. That’s just inhumane. (Now that we’re distracted by our plans for tomorrow, this game is not capturing our imaginations.)
9:20 This period has been marked by the teams taking turns racing down the length of the rink and then looking offensively inept. It’s been a doozy.
9:19 We come back from commercial to see the Bruins mascot knocking Chuck the Duck over in the parking lot during some fan fest-y activities before the game. We’re horrified. Pookie: “That bear has just rocketed to the top of my List, ahead of Butthead, and Marc Staal, and Paul Gaustad.”
4:01 Yikes! Where has this game gone? It’s almost over! We don’t have a lot to say about it, though. Just lots of yawning at this point, but that has less to do with the game and more to do with it being late in the week.
3:01 Too bad Frisby got dibs on Clarkson, because he’s had a good game tonight. Lots of sassy shots and grittiness. And handsomeness. Here he turns a nothing sort of one-on-two into a decently deceptive mid-range shot, and then he psychs Thomas into almost trying to beat him up.
1:26 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! WOWZA! That was awesome! The Langer/Zach/Zubrus line finally decides to get going, and they have a wild sequence of bang-bang passing and wheeling one-timers, then Zach squeaks a shot under Thomas that Zubrus pounces on to tap all the way into the goal, very much like Clarkson’s goal in the first. It’s 2-1 Devils, and we’re awake now!
0:35 The Devils fail to play well against the extra-attacker-aided Bruins. After a series of failed clearing attempts, Doc and Chico get to extol the virtues of the Unseen Hand when a Boston point shot richochets in toward the goal, gets past everyone including Danis, but clanks off the crossbar. Whew.
0:20 Is this small payback for that time the Devils got called for icing while on the PK against the Rangers in the playoffs? The refs colossally blow an icing call on the Bruins, when the blow the whistle even though Whitey clearly touched the puck before it crossed the goal line. No, it’s not quite on a par with the Ranger-game icing, but it’s at least a beneficial whistle when there shouldn’t have been one.
0:00 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! It wasn’t pretty, but it’s a win!
Let’s see. The Devils v Bruins in HD with Jack Edwards or The Devils v Bruins not in HD with Doc?
Screw HD. I’m not listening to that lunatic. I actually kinda like the actual team, well Tim Tom, but I can’t handle JE.
BTW, I was STUNNED and APPALLED to see that Jack is not some senile, ancient dude. How can that not be???
Looks like we have to forgo HD tonight to avoid Jack Edwards.
Hi Myra,
Long time no see.
I can imagine that seeing Edwards’s youthful visage might be a bit of a shock! If you watch with an ear for laughing at him, it might be fun, and worth the HD. Heh.
Hi Myra,
Long time no see.
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Are you guys on the couch communicating via blog again? :D
I. Can’t. Do. It.
Oh Hi Hub,
Does this mean we are turning into Pookie and Schnookie? Same thoughts, same time, while we each sit at our own computer?
Don’t you think you should be starting dinner now, Schnookie…um… I mean, Hub?
Are you guys on the couch communicating via blog again?
Yes. Yes, we are. :)

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Clarkson!
OOps, sorry Tim Tom.
It’d be kind of douchy of me to point out I’m getting the Devils feed in HD, huh? :P
Who just hooked Pie-yay?? Bastards!!
We’re getting it in HD, too. I don’t know what Myra’s problem is. :PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
Oh just poop to that. :P
Well it’s a good thing you’re getting it in HD, because I heard that Pommers called Paille and told him to skate past the Devils bench and kick Marty in the face. It’d be a shame to see that in SD.
Ok. Janis looks tiny. Is he really or is it just in comparison?
IfyouknowwhatImean.
Ok. Where did I get “Janis”? Sigh.
Dude, I am so calling Danis “”Janis”. That way I’ll think he looks, and acts, like Janis from Sesame Street.
Woah. Is that shaved head guy the mayor of NJ?
Yes, mcguggs, New Jersey is governed by a mayor. And I’m sure that Pommers would kick him in the face, too. :P
By the way, we are SO calling Danis “Janis” now. BIG STYLE. They look exactly alike!
DANIS
JANIS
NJ is the only state where the governor a) doesn’t live in the state capital and b) is a mayor.
Poop!
Your mayor/governor is hot. And yes, Pommers would kick him in the face.
Yeah, that mayor is foxy. He’s the one who said after Obama was elected that he was “luxuriat[ing] in the racial deliciousness that is our country”. He also panders to Devils fans, so if I lived in Newark, I’d totally vote for him. :D
JANIS got a CACKLE, CACKLE, CACKLE from me, much to my family’s ears chagrin.
Our poor dog.
Ok, should I be worried that Hub is listening to “Squirrels in my Pants” from Phineas and Ferb?
I am NOT luxuriating in the deliciousness of that craptacular play by Zach. Gah!
“Squirrels in my Pants”? That sounds awesome!
Does this mean I have to close Oduyaland? Pooh. :(
“Squirrels in my pants”? I’ve never heard it called that before…
Ok, should I be worried that Hub is listening to “Squirrels in my Pants” from Phineas and Ferb?
You were the one quoting Phineas.
I better see Chuck the Duck tonight dammit.

Leave it to mcguffers.

That’s a lot of slack! That’s a lot of slacks to have squirrels in!

This game has been sort of dreadful, hasn’t it?
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Awww. I love when the goalies laugh with each other. Crunchy and Lalime always make me smile when they’re together.
I think Boston needs to put a defenseman behind Tim Tom.
As slow as this last minute is going, I think this became a basketball game.
I think Boston needs to put a defenseman behind Tim Tom.
I’m glad you didn’t suggest that plan until after Zubrus scored!
And woo-hoo for a Devils win!
Congrats Devils. Way to beat the Big and Bad Bruins.
As slow as this last minute is going, I think this became a basketball game.
I know, seriously! That was crazy! But not in an interesting way.
I think the Bruins should look into getting a sumo goalie to put behind Tim Thomas.
Janis! (He’s the same size as Gel-O. That’s… disconcerting.)
And he’s standing on a box to allow for a Muppeteer.
JANIS!!!
I loved him and Marty laughing together there.
On top of having never seen a Devils backup who looked quite so competent on the ice, I also don’t think I’ve ever seen one with whom Marty has been so laughy. Normally it’s a fake laugh, with a shooting-daggers subtext. :P
Obviously, I don’t know Marty like you guys, but he sure seemed genuine to me.
I’m kidding, Myra. Although as soon as the backup goalie starts getting ideas about getting more than 5 starts a season, Marty’s ready to cut that bitch. :P
This whole thread is hilarious. Sorry I missed it!
Go Devils! WOO!
Thanks, Patty! The Devils are SO much better on the road than at home. You should be so flattered that they got their ONE home win of the season when you were there!
Poor little Janis. His days are numbered. Enjoy the camaraderie while you can kid.
(Schnookie, I knew you were kidding.)
“That bear has just rocketed to the top of my List, ahead of Butthead, and Marc Staal, and Paul Gaustad.”
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Goose is way too much of a competitor to let those guys beat him at something.
Poor little Janis. His days are numbered. Enjoy the camaraderie while you can kid.
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Yeah, he’s going to be sorry later that he looked so competent during the game. It’s like the line from “LA Confidential” — Marty’s going to fuck him for that if it takes him the rest of his life. :P
Also, I was pretty proud of myself for getting the Malcolm Gladwell reference, even though I would never have been able to remember his name. :P
pardon me if anyone else has suggested this lately, but how’s about having the devils wear their white road sweaters while playing at The Rock until further notice? maybe they’ll think they are on the road and win a few games :D

I think it’s safe to say that you’re a supergenius.
Good morning!
Thanks to the devils for beating the bruins in a painful way. It’s always much more fun when you score the winning goal in the last two minutes, when everyone is already contemplating the OT point.
And I like Danis! He used to be a Habs backup, but he never really got his chance in Montreal. But I remember that he got a shutout for his first nhl game ever! It’s not the best job in the nhl to be Marty’s backup, but hey, at least he gets to practice everyday with a goalie legend…
i dont know ladies, it seems to me someone needs to claim Empressidity (Empressdom?) of Bergforslovakia, the kid’s got hustle. of course, for now, all life there will be captured in black and white, but when the wall comes down – look out.
and with outfits like this, who wouldnt want to be Empress of Bergforslovakia

Neither is playing goalie in Montreal or for the Islanders, so I’d say this guy has a high threshold for pain.

Isn’t there a picture of Jagr wearing that out there somewhere?
Yay for Danis! Yay for Clarkson! Boo for Rolston! Boo for Peters! Thus ends my indepth review. I hope we see Danis again before another 10 games go by but I’m sure we won’t. Unlike most of you, I went my typical HD snob route and watched the Jack Edwards show, it wasn’t as bad as usual.
So guess how I watched this game (aside from on tape delay this morning).
IN HD! It was AWESOME. I could like, count people’s eyelashes and stuff.
Peters has the locker stall next to Marty, per the Buffalo Snooze. According to Crunchy, that’s a good place for Peters to be, as he knows when to lighten the mood and when to STFU and let the goalie be the quirky wonder we all know him to be.
Goose is way too much of a competitor to let those guys beat him at something.
Poor little button has flu-like symptoms and probably won’t play tonight. I’m amazed he played through the start of his illness the other night. I work a desk job and at the slightest sign of illness I want my blankie and my pillow. I can’t imagine playing a grueling sport like hockey.

No kidding! I get the flu about once a year and it makes me want to curl up and die for a week. I can’t even imagine playing hockey. It’d be like Slap Shot…I’d be lined up for a face off, “Hey man, try not to hit me too hard, I might piss myself.”
Also, good morning and happy Friday everyone! This is the first Firday I’ve worked in months! And subsequently the last Friday I’ll work until the end of January!

Is this that H1Goose1 you guys were talking about the other night?
Unlike most of you, I went my typical HD snob route and watched the Jack Edwards show, it wasn’t as bad as usual.
That’s because the Bruins lost. It’s much worse when the Bruins are sweeping your team in the playoffs and/or beating up your defensemen… *cough cough Komisarek* Because then, not only your team sucks, but you also have to hear Edwards rejoicing about it. Ugh.
Just imagine when Pyatt is playing!
I couldn’t bear it. He’d probably make me feel like waxing my eyelashes out of sheer embarrassment at my pathetic set.

You’re probably right. Who knew Pyatt had it in him to be that cruel?
How did you manage to watch a game in HD, Mags? That’s something I’d really like to finally do!
Grrreg, my parents have ESPN America in their cable package, and they’ve recently started showing the games in HD. It’s nowhere near as good as say, the golf is (seriously, I watched Augusta in HD, and you could see the ants on the green. It was bizarre) but it’s pretty fancy. I suppose their super slick TV doesn’t hurt the image quality either.
The only thing that bothers me with ESPN America is that they don’t actually show ads during the commercial breaks. (or at least, that’s what happens when someone streams their feed on the internet) Instead they have that endless loop of their own schedule announcements and their musical jingle. If you watch it for 2 hours, you get crazy.
Waxing your eyelashes sounds like the most painful thing one could inflict on another human being. Aside from general dentistry.
That is actually how I figured out what I want to be when I grow up. How can I inflict the most pain on other human beings. I had it narrowed down to eyelash waxer, DMV counter worker, and dental hygienist. Dental hygienists make more and what’s worth doing is worth doing for money.
Mcguffers, you are an eviller woman than I. I spent 2 years studying dentistry before I realised I couldn’t do it. Not because I didn’t have the skills, but I just couldn’t do that to another human being.
So now I plot global domination via corporate economics. As I don’t have a conscience anyway, I’ll be fine with being an evil, horrible RA or RC or something.
I had it narrowed down to eyelash waxer, DMV counter worker, and dental hygienist.
So you know what I’m talking about.
Man I went to the dentist two weeks ago to have a cavity filled. I still can’t chew food on the right side of my mouth. Stupid jerk dentist.
My dentist appointments were always scheduled in December and May (Christmas and my birthday) so I think it was my dad’s way of getting me to associate the dentist with happy times. Instead, I told him he’s given me one more reason to hire a huge, scary guy named Bubba to be his in home nurse when he’s old.

Um, watching the Leafs and Sabres so far is just not fun. The Leafs offense blows and for some reason the Sabres are trying to copy them.
Oh and if D-bag get’s that mutha f@#$ing “A” for one more f%$&ing game, I’m going to start writing a blog called “Why I Hate Bedazzling Jerkfaces Who Can’t Even Score A Goal For The Kids.”
Hm. That doesn’t sound like a good start to the game at all! The only Leafs game I’ve seen this season was the one in Anaheim, so I’m inclined to think that’s how everyone plays against them. :P
A trip to NYC? Does that mean more awesome pictures?

If I was living in Pittsburgh and had access only to hockey games called by the FSN announcers there, I would become a basketball fan. These guys are DREADFUL.
Aww! His love for you is pure and true!
No it isn’t. He doesn’t sparkle (does he?). Only sparklepire love is pure and true, remember, Schnookie?
Oh my god, Mags, you’re right. How could I have been so wrong??? (He doesn’t sparkle, does he, mcguggs?)

You’re telling me. We almost ALWAYS get their feed, and I ALWAYS mute it. Even my Mother, noted lover of all things Pens, thinks they’re awful.

His eyes get sparkly. Does that count?
To summarize he said “We need to keep things simple. Blah Blah basics blah blah I like redheads bla blah miniature hockey players who bedazzle their fluffy pink hats will get pulverized by me tonight.”
And then when the camera cut away he whispered “Looooooch!” and a single tear fell down his cheek.
One of my co-workers had on a shirt today that said “I Heart Guys That Sparkle.”
Even my Mother, noted lover of all things Pens, thinks they’re awful.
That’s saying a lot, isn’t it? I’m actually enjoying their game tonight, so I might just suck it up and suffer through them in the third, but the pretty, pretty Blackhawks are also on now, and I like their announcers… Man, it’s tough being me. :P

No, It’s okay now!! I saw it on that Dallas cheerleaders reality show last year! There were TWO redheads!! One has to have straight hair and one has to have wavy hair with low lights. It also helps if we have different eye color. Mine are blue, but I can totally wear colored contacts. It also helps if one of us isn’t smart, so I’ve got that covered.
Blah Blah basics blah blah I like redheads bla blah miniature hockey players who bedazzle their fluffy pink hats will get pulverized by me tonight.
I do like that Mike Komisarek guy.
His eyes get sparkly. Does that count?
Ok, maybe not so much.
On a not-totally-related-to-the-conversation-but-still-hockey: Maaaan, life as a Dallas Stars fan is pretty bleak eh?
And then when the camera cut away he whispered “Looooooch!” and a single tear fell down his cheek.

Shit! I was going to be the not-smart one. Oh well. I’ll just have to get some book learnin’ to make up for it. As for the eyes, mine are green, so no need to bother with contacts! We’re safe! Whew.
And what happened to the Stars?
Shit! I was going to be the not-smart one. Oh well. I’ll just have to get some book learnin’ to make up for it.
I mean Ice Girls smart. When we both walk into the room, but I run into the doorway, we’ll be fine.
And what happened to the Stars?
For the sake of the Fire Clowns, I’m glad Turco’s not playing. But then again, maybe Turco wouldn’t have let in those 3 goals. Well, heh.
Myers has two penalties tonight. Way to say thanks to the Sabres for keeping you up here dude.

Oh, right! See? I’m so stupid that I thought you meant book-smart.

Yeah, now that the tryout’s over, he can let himself go.
And as for the Stars, Turco’s probably like, “ONLY three goals? I could have given up FIVE!” :P

Book-smart! Now that’s funny!
The mixture of “Let’s Go Buff-a-lo” and “Go Leafs Go” sounds like everyone’s chanting “Lo Lo Blo Lo”. I think from now on, that’s actually what I’m going to chant.
“Lo Lo Blo Lo”
That is only the greatest hockey game chant OF ALL TIME. Next time I go to The Rawk, I’ll give it a try.
Are y’all watching the Stars? I have to watch in the bedroom and the laptop is just not as comfy as it is on the couch.
I thought of y’all on one of Clemmer’s goals. He actually caught it with his glove, right on the goal line, but it bounced out and hit his stick and went into the net.
(Disregard if y’all have already discussed it. :P)
Also? Did you see James Neal’s goal? Prrrrretty.

Aren’t the Canadians looking for a chant for their Olympic team? You should submit that one!
OH WHAT THE FUCK??!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Man, I wish the Flyers or Wings had fallen for his Devils-inflated stats. He’s such a shitty goalie. Heh. (And no, we’re watching the Blackhawks/Canadiens right now, not the Stars. Sorry. And we’re flipping to the Ducks in a few minutes. Because we’re terrible, terrible friends. :P)
Also? Did you see James Neal’s goal? Prrrrretty.
It was very pretty, Patty. They showed a clip of it while we were waiting to go to overtime. OH YEAH THAT’S RIGHT! Fucking overtime. Kaberle scored a short-handed goal with 37 seconds left.

Ouch. I am SO sorry!
Dude, we’re only getting the Canucks feed of the Ducks game, and it looks like it’s being broadcast from the bottom of the sea. This might be the worst feed I’ve seen from Canada yet!
Timmy scored the game winner then looked to the camera and said: “You’re Welllllllcome.”
And I got a Chris Butler interview. Except for the fact this game sucked hard, it’s been a pretty good night.
Sorry about the last-minute OT, mcguggs!
Because we’re terrible, terrible friends. :P
No! I just got that impression by reading the last two posts. I didn’t mean you SHOULD have been. In fact, I’m glad you weren’t, because it started out pretty bad. :D
I should have refreshed before I sympathized with your OT! WOOO! For an OT win!
I think the Canadians sit up at night thinking of ways to make their feeds worse. (IPB company excluded, of course.)

Yeah, it sounds like that was the sort of start where the Stars say, “Go on! Get out of here! I don’t want you to see me like this!”

Oh come on, you know that’s what Carol and alix are up to!
God, the Blue Jackets suck at shoot-outs.
Yes, that is all.
I mean, I could kvetch about the two goals given up in approximately 30 seconds in the third, but I need to get to bed. I was so grumpy after the game I stayed up late to calm back down!
Grr argh.

I’ve been keeping an eye on them because I need Richards to get about 18 goals/assists tonight :)
Crunchy was a bit of a douche in his interview. And I liiiike it!! He said something about diving/acting should be called more. I agree dude, but I think I’ve beaten the Derek Roy dead horse enough. And he completely mocked Ponikarovsky for hitting the post on an open net. Again, Crunchy have you ever met Jason Pominville? Crunchy, your glass house is starting to crack.

Karen, that game was SO brutal. I’m really sorry. Things were looking so good too! :(
Crunchy, your glass house is starting to crack.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeah. A guy’s team jumps out of the gate strong, and he suddenly starts thinking they’re flawless. Next he’s going to start making fun of other guys in the league who wear ostrich hats.

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::: Yeah, the Sabres were 6-2-2 through October last year and we see where that got them. If they can make it through November without a complete meltdown, I might start thinking positively. Until then, these asshats are still on probation.

Yeah, that’s how I’m feeling about the Devils. Only they have to prove it to me in April. Heh.
So what is Clemmie like in the shootout?

Poop, I would assume. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you!
Never mind. The Stars are poopier.
God, the Blue Jackets suck at shoot-outs.
Copy. Paste.
Cross out “Blue Jackets.”
Replace with “Stars.”
Sorry the Blue Jackets lost the shootout, Karen! At least y’all were ahead at some point. Right? Not helping, is it?
Never mind. The Stars are poopier.

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: I’m laughing through a sad face of deepest sympathy, though.
Hey! I’m sure you all will be happy to hear that the Ducks just pulled ahead after having fallen down 2-0 early in this game. :P

It could be that, at the time, the yowling cat was unhappy with the Devils’ play.
Douglas, that’s a good thought. And I can assume that all the times he’s yowling when hockey isn’t on TV, he’s just protesting past and future lousy play by the Devils.
