That the Devils are fifth overall? That they’re only two points behind the Penguins?! That they’re 8-2-0 in their last ten games?!? That they’re four points behind the league leaders with two or three fewer games played?!?! Wowza! The things you learn when you bother to check the standings before mid-March!
Other things that stood out as we marveled at the after-one-month standings:
– The Sharks have as many points as the Avs, but don’t seem to get any press for it. Must be everyone’s finally really learned their lesson when it comes to SJ.
– Schnookie’s been saying all along that the Rangers were going to do their usual coming out of the gate strong only to tail off starting in November. She’s a genius, that one.
– There are two teams that have identical records. One team’s coach is on the perpetual hot seat. The other is being lauded as a rejuvenated genius. Who are the teams? Why, the Flyers and the Sabres, of course. (Obviously, the situations and expectations of the two teams are wildly different, but it’s still noteworthy to us because everything we’ve heard around the water cooler [and by "heard around the water cooler" we mean "read on Puck Daddy"] suggested to us that the Sabres were tearing it up while the Flyers were having a disastrously slow start.)
– The Hurricanes are worse than the Leafs. Good thing we didn’t go on record picking the Canes for the Presidents Trophy.
– We did go on record picking the now-24th-overall Ducks. Are we chagrined? Hell no! Instead, we’re looking forward to the wild second-half that’s going to catapult Getzi and his compatriots to the top.
Yes, yes, Gentle Reader, we know. Looking at the standings this early is a foolish exercise, but… watch out for those Ducks.
Reading the standing before March usually makes me a happy person. It means I can still hope that the Habs will turn it around at some point. I love false hope.
Congratulations, Devils! Not so shabby for a team that was practicing line changes a few weeks ago ;)
I noticed this morning that the Sabres & the Flyers have the same record. I feel ill.
The man himself might be gone, but the Ducks are still attending the Chris Pronger School for Low-down, Dirty Hockey, so I’m delighted that they suck. Besides, Ryan Getzlaf and Randy Carlyle will forever be on The List for attempting to besmirch Goose’s good name.
Instead, we’re looking forward to the wild second-half that’s going to catapult Getzi and his compatriots to the top.
Watching the Ducks, I do expect them to be on top….. of penalty minutes.
watch out for those Ducks
The stick in their hand may soon the one in your favorite teams back, side, or ankles.
I love false hope.
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: I’d never considered that angle! Normally I get so exasperated with the standings earlier than March because they’re so subject to change before the playoffs. But you’re so right that the flip side of that is the false hope! :P

I know! I’m gobsmacked! GOBSMACKED! I guess this is just an indication of how bad all the other teams in the NHL are. Heh. :P

Hee! They just like having a challenge.
Good morning!
I’m just back from a weekend away from the internet. I just discovered that Alix’s cousin scored on the habs (thapunk!), and that the canadiens picked Jay Leach on waivers from the devils. I’m not sure I ever read that name before (which may not be a very good sign), but is there anything you can tell me about him, Ookies? (other than “Meh”)

Oops, sorry about that x2 comment…
Only in the NHL can a team be 3rd in their conference but 14th in the overall league standings.
we’re looking forward to the wild second-half that’s going to catapult Getzi and his compatriots to the top.
Little do we know that they’re building a trebuchet in the backyard of the arena to help with that catapulting thing.

but is there anything you can tell me about him, Ookies? (other than “Meh”)
*Thinks really, really hard* Nope. I got nuthin’. He was the guy who got called up whenever we were short three or four actual NHL-caliber D-men (or the closest approximation of “NHL-caliber” that the Devils roster could boast). He always seemed nice enough. And he’s married to a NESN reporter, so maybe he’s friends with Jack Edwards? :P

I’m pretty sure Jay Leach was the dictionary definition of unremarkable.
Amy, that’s too fancy for me and not just because it’s Monday morning! :D
heres a fun article
http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/other/sfl-panthers-clemmensen-s110909sbnov09,0,2805684.story
clemmensen is trying his best to get demoted to the AHL. i think he’s beginning to realize his success in NJ was a sham but he just cant admit it to himself.
if he keeps this up, he may regret investing so much in his teeth.
I’m pretty sure Jay Leach was the dictionary definition of unremarkable.
although you wouldnt find it in the dictionary because it was unremarked.
I just saw that article, Ken! I was about to link to it myself under the header of “Required Reading for All Of Us Who Knew Clemmer Was a Fraud All Along”! HAHAHAHAHAHA! Man, that shit is priceless.
yes, very professional of Clemmensen.
on a side note, if the ice girls gig isnt exciting enough, theres always Lingerie Football:

That article about Clemmensen! I can’t stop laughing! IT’S SO AWESOME! AAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I mean, we all knew that he was being propped up by the team in front of him with the Devils, and we’ve all assumed he was a self-aggrandizing jerk, and we all knew he was going to flame out with the team that was going to be dumb enough to sign him on the strength of his last season, but man, I did NOT expect it to be THAT funny!
my favorite part in the article, and there were many, was the response that Vokun had 2 shutouts with the same defense, while Clemmensen let in 12.
I KNOW! That was brilliant! I love DeBoer being so no-nonsense about pointing out what a selfish idiot Clemmer’s being! DeBoer: “If the D sucks so bad, why is Vokoun being awesome?” Clemmer: “I can’t work in these conditions!” Next he’s going to complain that they didn’t provide him with the bowl of green (AND ONLY GREEN!) M&Ms he demanded. And that his dressing room wasn’t filled with white, rose-scented lilies.

Thank you! I read an article about a pumpkin trebuchet built for a pumpkin flinging competition and the word has kind of stuck with me.
Clemmer sounds like he’s damn close to disproving that no man is an island.
Clemmer: “the team defense needs practice”
DeBoer: “Vokun has 2 shutouts”
Clemmer: “I’m adjusting, i miss my family”
DeBoer: “your family is here”
Clemmer: “i need to tend to my farm”
DeBoer: “they’re ants”
Clemmer: “the sun was in my eyes”
DeBoer: “sigh”
Clemmer: “i’m taking meds for a cough”
DeBoer: “sigh”
Clemmer: “i miss Chuck the Duck”
DeBoer: “Curse you Lamoriello!! we’ve been bamboozled. Again.”

Ahh, Scott Clemmensen. Gentleman Ant Farmer, and user of Eddie Belfour’s patented Cold-Medicine Defense. (Does that still work where you come from, Clemmer? Because here it’s kind of been done to death. :P)
That article with Clemmer is just nuts. There’s a lot of people being thrown under that team bus. And let’s not send Clemmer to the AHL, mmmkay? I still go to Rochester for holidays! Besides the Amerks have the best record in the AHL right now, so they prolly don’t want him.
Yeah, that’s right Sabres… first in the AHL. How are the Pirates doing? Oh? They’re last? Oh, that’s so sad! I so sorry! Now you and your two mascotted minor league team can go suck it hard!

I was just going to link to that Clemmer article but of course everyone has seen it already. I’m tempted to try to link to it on a Fire and Ice comment for all the idiots there who loved Clemmensen last year. I am a card carrying Clemmensen hater and I was a little surprised at how much he threw everyone under the bus. DeBoer’s comments were great and I think he even laid off Clemmensen a little. I saw the Buffalo game and would have pulled Clemmensen after those first two goals and not just to “spark the team,” as DeBoer said, as the goals were pretty bad.
Also, is it too late to write scary stories about Crosby? I have some ideas but have been too lazy to do them yet.
*reads Clemmer article*
*laughs immensely*
Says the Clemmer: I’m still learning how to incorporate my game into this playing style we have
Sounds like he incorporated it just fine. It works in any style, really. Isn’t “his game” just letting in tons of goals and being a gigantic prick?
Also, is it too late to write scary stories about Crosby? I have some ideas but have been too lazy to do them yet.
It’s definitely not too late! (Especially considering that I haven’t even started my “Spooking Sidney” story…)
I think it would be hilarious to see what the pro-Clemmer crowd on F&I thinks of him now. Heh. It’s a long way down, isn’t it, for him to go from whining about not getting playing time in place of Marty to whining that the Panthers aren’t built around his “playing style”. Heh heh heh.

And fuck me, the Sabres put Adam Mair on waivers? That’s two moves in one season!?! That doesn’t happen in Regier-land!
i had found that article on Fire & Ice. havent checked out any of the responses yet though.
Clemmensen is the Gomez of goalies (except Gomez actually has some talent). Whenever he fails, it’s someone else’s fault.
Wait, Adam Mair was put on waivers? What gives??

I am a card carrying Clemmensen hater and I was a little surprised at how much he threw everyone under the bus.
Me too! I mean, if we were all told “Clemmer was whining to the Florida papers” and then asked to guess what he said, none of us would seriously have thought he’d go that far. What a winner that one.
I’ve written exactly one paragraph of “Spooking Sidney”. I don’t have enough hours in the day to write more. Clearly I need to not have to go to work anymore.
Wait, Adam Mair was put on waivers? What gives??
1) Darcy’s gone mad with power
2) Matt Ellis stole his job
3) The Sabres are clearing cap room for that Marty Biron to Buffalo trade.
4) Who the eff knows
And with Clemmer, does he honestly expect his teammates to play better in front of him now that he’s thrown them under the bus and driven over them repeatedly?
Clemmer: “i need to tend to my farm”
DeBoer: “they’re ants”
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
All I can find about Mair is a twitter from Bob Mckenzie – twitters don’t count as substantiated news, right?
How long has mair been here… 12 years or so? Sad times :(
All I can find about Mair is a twitter from Bob Mckenzie – twitters don’t count as substantiated news, right?
When the twitterer is McKenzie, I’d say yes. The Buffalo News blog also has coverage of it now though with quotes from Regier and Mair.
Oh my gosh, the Clemmer stuff is hilarious! My favorite part of the article is when he says he doesn’t have time to settle down and concentrate on one shot at a time. Most goalies, if they could do that, would have save percentages of, like, .999.
One shot at a time! Wow.
(I was SO afraid the Stars were going to sign him, but once again, procrastination pays off.)
Most goalies, if they could do that, would have save percentages of, like, .999.
Oh my gosh! I hadn’t realized it until you pointed it out, but Clemmer essentially said the same thing that I said that got me demoted from the A team to the B team in middle school field hockey: “Stop shooting the ball so hard in practice, because I can’t stop it.” HAHAHAHAHAHA! I can’t believe Clemmer’s no more prepared for competitive sports than a fat, lazy, artsy-ish middle school dorky girl!
i think the full quote, left out by the reporter out of sheer disbelief in his own ears, is “I haven’t been able to get set and concentrate on one shot at a time. I’ve asked all opposing teams to shoot lightly, and only from the opposite blueline, but they refuse. They wont even yell out their shot selections. Not only that, but they insist on standing in front of me. Do they expect me to be able to see through them? The nerve. and dont get me started on tips and rebounds. If this continues, the team shouldnt be surprised when i get pulled in the first 2 minutes, letting in 2 goals on the first 3 shots. I cant work under these conditions”
Ken, you forgot to add this other part the reporter left out, “And don’t tell me anything about Vokoun…I outplayed a 4-time Vezina winner last year. Ok, so he’s a fat one, but still, 4 Vezinas, and I outplayed him, check out the numbers. I saved NJ’s season. The rest of the team had nothing to do with it. Well, maybe the coach had a little role in it – he put me in net.”

And :^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: to what the reporter left out!
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::: to all, it’s so nice in a mean way to have Clemmer back in the news again. Does anyone know if he signed a one or two way contract with the Panthers, I couldn’t find anything about it at the usual sources (but I did find he currently has a 5.16 GAA). Just wondering how dumb the Panthers really are as you would think a demotion is in order for his idiotic comments.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! to all of you! Man, who knew Clemmer could bring such joy to the world?
I thought I saw that it’s a 3-year deal but I don’t remember the rest of the details. I think it was in that article, wasn’t it? I’ll have to look it up now.
Poor Panthers. They just can’t get out of their own way!
It said 3.6 million over 3 years, but it doesn’t say if it’s two-way. I’d bet it’s not.
Poor Panthers. They just can’t get out of their own way!
Well, maybe they should have checked with all of us before offering Clemmer that contract!
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: to everything above that I missed while in lab.
And I don’t want to seem like I’m bragging again, but the League leading Rochester Amerks (11-1-1) have a starting goalie who is undefeated with a 1.72GAA and .943 SV%. Even our back up has a .914SV%. I repeat: We. Don’t. Want. Clemmer. Something needs to be done. Panthers, please, for the love of Marty, don’t demote him. Get rid of him!
I repeat: We. Don’t. Want. Clemmer.
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: You know, the year before last he was the third-stringer for the Marlies. So he’s used to not being able to crack a minor-league roster.

Too bad they can’t make an international, inter-league deal with the KHL.
Good morning, everyone! How are we all doing today? I just made the amazing realization that there are very, very few Tuesdays left in November. We’re so close to Christmas Present Season! Heh.
Too bad they can’t make an international, inter-league deal with the KHL.
The KHL is like, “We’re not stupid! We don’t want him! (And to give that some context, we wanted Emery…)” :P
Too bad they can’t make an international, inter-league deal with the KHL.
Well, they can. Just not the kind of deal you are thinking of. However, hiring a hit man may not do the Panthers any good, as I can’t figure out from the CBA whether death removes a player from the cap. However, I really think the Russian mob needs to be called in. Hello, KHL? Dial-a-hit-man?

anyone ever read the story of Attila Ambrus? the book is called Ballad of the Whiskey Robber by Julian Rubinstein. great read.
Ambrus was a goalie for the Hungarian team Újpesti TE.
“Despite his abysmal performance, he was admitted to the roster as goalie while doubling as the team’s janitor. ”
so there is hope for Clemmensen, although, like Ambrus he may have to resort to robbing banks and post offices.

Well, there are so many players out there without a pulse now, still on the cap. I mean, they are skating, sure. But, zombies could probably skate and they are dead. So, the CBA doesn’t cover that either.
Hmmm…I can’t imagine Clemmensen going to Hungary (although I’ve been there and I liked Budapest). Plus, he’d never agree to the janitorial duties and would expect someone else to rob the banks FOR him. After all, as he said (I realize I’m paraphrasing here), he can’t be expected to concentrate on more than one thing at a time.

I have to say, I always called Patrick Roy “The Skating Ego”, but at least in Roy’s case there was talent and accomplishment to go with the arrogance and ego. I swear, Clemmensen has something approaching Roy’s arrogance and ego and no reason for it.

Hi Carol! I always love when you bounce in here talking about morning, and I’m sitting here having dinner :D
As usual I am late on this one (had a sick toddler), but I am not shocked by Clemmer’s quotes, but I am disappointed. I was hoping that Scott had turned over a new leaf with his career taking the Lazarus-like turn last season. It is sad to see that he still is a great teammate whenever everything is going his way and still charters buses to chuck his ‘mates under when things go bad for him.
