Join us for a Saturday night open thread as the Devils and Flyers do battle. We’d say they’re going to engage in battle royal, but according to Wikipedia, that requires 3 or more parties, and frankly, we’re on vacation, so we’ll take a rain check.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I just finished making dinner in time to see that! Boogerfors for Calder! (I don’t know if beating the Flyers PK like that is really Calder-worthy, though…)
BOR! BOR! BOR!
I think Lemaire must have threatened to take away Niklas’ kipper.
This game is so boring! Trap trap trap trap trap! BORING!
I think Lemaire must have threatened to take away Niklas’ kipper.
That’s the only explanation for it! (I think he threatened to take EVERYONE’S kipper away. Sheesh. If they’d skated for just TEN MINUTES last night they way they have so far tonight, they would have won.)
Oh, and we’re watching the Flyers feed because it’s in HD and the Devils one isn’t, and the sideline guy just gave us a report about the scratches for tonight. He said that both sides have guys injured, healthy, and suspended. Because “suspended” is a perfectly normal reason for a guy to be scratched for the Flyers.
Look at Jacques making a funny!
You missed an epic Lemaire quote. Roughly:
If the guys are tired it isn’t because we kept them on the ice. It must be the Christmas shopping. I went Christmas shopping with my wife, and I couldn’t play hockey after that.
Jacques’ such a card!
PS, Marty got an assist on the goal.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Boogerfors is a Flyer killer!
AAAAHAHAHAHAHA! Jacques could have a career in comedy!!
And WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Boogerfors is an unstoppable scoring machine!
BOR! BOR! BOR!!
And apparently Dean McAmmond is the second coming of Scott Stevens based on the way he handled that in open ice.
Bergfors actually looks a little bit like Brylin.
Got here just when Chico and Doc were talking about the Christmas shopping quote. I didn’t get what all Chico said but it was sounding like sleeping on the couch material.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! And WOWZA! I had no idea Patty even had that shot! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This game is awesome.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! PATTY!!!! I was wondering if Elias was excited to be playing against Boucher. I guess so! ::tosses 300-colored confetti in the air::
Because “suspended” is a perfectly normal reason for a guy to be scratched for the Flyers.
:^::::::::::::::::
Of course.
Devils-Flyers is my backup in case the Sabres go south. Losing to the Rangers is too depressing to watch. (Plus any game with the Flyers these days is prime for meltdown hilarity.)
300! THIS IS SPARTA!!!!! WOOO!!!!
I didn’t get what all Chico said but it was sounding like sleeping on the couch material.
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The Flyers feed is hilarious. They just said of the timeout, “We have seen Peter [Laviolette] call his team over for instruction. That was not instructional in nature.” Heh.
On the downside: the Land Zhark still hasn’t scored.
If the guys are tired it isn’t because we kept them on the ice. It must be the Christmas shopping. I went Christmas shopping with my wife, and I couldn’t play hockey after that.
That is… wow.
And yes, it does sound like sleeping on the couch material.
Yeah, I’ve decided right now he’s more of a Land Manatee.
That… that might be the first time I’ve seen a textbook example of kneeing.
300! THIS IS SPARTA!!!!! WOOO!!!!
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
On the downside: the Land Zhark still hasn’t scored.
Heh. Pookie can’t wait to shout “CANDYGRAM!” when he scores.
Of course they call it tripping.
I’m not getting the candygram reference. The only thing that comes to me is “Candygram for Mongo”
Andreas Nodl sounds like the name of the greatest pastry chef in Vienna.
“Candygram for Mongo”
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
There’s an old classic SNL skit where a woman goes to her door after hearing the doorbell and says, “Who is it?” And a voice from the other side of the door says, “Candygram.” When she opens the door to get the Candygram, it’s a guy in a shark suit who says, “Landshark!” and attacks her. Or something. I was young when I saw it.
Andreas Nodl sounds like the name of the greatest pastry chef in Vienna.
Not since the Sacher Torte was invented has Vienna seen so great a pastry chef.
You got the Land Shark skit right, Pookie. I was in high school then, so that was a really really old classic SNL skit. Ah, good times.
I swear I had a dress in the 80′s made of the same fabric as Don Cherry’s jacket.
You’re just taking a trip down memory lane here, aren’t you Myra? :D
They say that happens a lot when you get old.
Well, you wouldn’t know anything about THAT! :D
You know what I wouldn’t mind? I wouldn’t mind if the Devils went back to playing like they did in the first.
What is with all the effin’ turnovers inside the blue line?? The Devils are KILLING me now. This game used to be awesome — where did it all go wrong?
BOOOOOOOOOOO! I hope the Devils learned a valuable lesson there about not sucking anymore. Hmph.
Funfetti. I was really thinking tonight was the night for 104. :(
I was really thinking tonight was the night for 104. :(
Maybe Marty wants to save it for a halfway decent team?
Or the Rangers?
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! That’s more like it!
WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe Marty wants to save it for a halfway decent team?
Or the Rangers?
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Flyers and Rangers: “Burn. And Touche.”
Speaking of the Rangers, how’s the Sabres game going?
Speaking of the Rangers, how’s the Sabres game going?
Not fantastic. I think Crunchy might have had a little too much fun on his day off, and its a penalty party for both teams – goodbye, perfect PK :(
But KALETA has 2 goals and the second was a shortie. Huh.
Hello Ookies and everyone!
I see the Devils are doing good. Sweet. The habs are doing ok too (and just as I’m writing this, Atlanta scores… oops)
Please Devils, keep on tormenting the Flyers, it’s never not funny.
Does Rolston always wink at the camera? I can’t decide if it was charming or creepie.
Of course, I missed Kaleta’s second while I was taking out the dog. Next time the rangers score I’m trying that again.
Creepy.
Myra, Rolston always winks. It’s creepy. :D
Daaaaaamn, and now Atlanta just tied the game. I should have said nothing about the habs.
DEFINITELY creepy.
Awww, I love Kaleta now. He was asked how great it felt to get his first 2-goal game and he said he’ll think about that later – now he’s more worried about the sabres doing well in the third.
I should have said nothing about the habs.
:^:::::::::::::::::: I’m so sorry!
This guy on the Flyer’s intermission show looks like Alex Trebek (with mustache)
I should have said nothing about the habs.
:^:::::::::::::::::: I’m so sorry!
Since that comment, the habs scored a third goal, and the thrashers tied it again. It’s a little crazy…

Yeesh! Your game is like the weather in Chicago. If you don’t like it, wait five minutes… :D
This guy on the Flyer’s intermission show looks like Alex Trebek (with mustache)
Heh. Because we’ve gone so many years with not being able to ever watch the Flyers feed, JJ is like some kind of strange foreign creature to us. His play-by-play speech patterns totally crack me up.
Ok, I was leaning toward creepy but didn’t want to step on any Devils toes.

I don’t think there are too many Rolston fans here! :P
Zach is never going to score again.
I don’t think there are too many Rolston fans here! :P
Well, that is true.

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Really, Myra — haven’t you been paying attention? :P
The Devils seem to have told Marty that he’s on his own for the rest of the night.
Even the cat named after Rolston thinks the winking is creepy.
Aww. The Philly announcers love Zach!
Everybody loves Zach! It’s nice to finally have a superstar whose greatness is uncontroversial enough (read: offense-oriented) that no one bothers trying to sell him short. :D
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yay Devils! Can we call this a Crunchy Brodeur shutout? I didn’t see that Flyers goal.
Aw! Little Berger got the #1 star. Boy, for a young guy, he sure has lost a lot of teeth.
(the sabres don’t really deserve it but) WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Congrats, devils and sabres!
hey, the Habs are still in it!
OK, this is a bit of a delayed reaction because I was cutting fabric — WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! That game turned out awesome! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Terribly stupid penalty taken by the habs in the last minute of the game and they lose during the ensuing PP in OT… :(
This team is taking so many dumb penalties, it’s infuriating. I think only Philly took more minor penalties this season.
Anyway, that’s it for me, have a good night!
Maybe Rolston is having an affair with the camera operator.
Well… you got one point, on the bright side. Sorry :( The Thrashers are annoying.
Aw, g’night Grrrreg. I’m sure the Habs’ll turn it around!
Maybe Rolston is having an affair with the camera operator.
Well I hope he doesn’t think he’s being subtle!
Howdy, peeps! I guess I missed a fun Sabres game while at my company holiday party. I may have to whip through it on the DVR. Also, the chef at the party must be a Semi Ho fan. There were canned pears or pear pie filling on the salad. Fresh pears do not have *that* kind of texture.

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Sorry you had to go to a company party!
Dude, I HOPE that was pear pie filling on the salad, because that is every which kind of creative! Heh. And I am SO sorry you missed the game for your company holiday party. What a drag!
Sorry you had to go to a company party!
Yeah, at least the drinks were good. Heh.
The Devils and the Sabres both won? Yay!
Also: Uh-oh.
That doesn’t bode well for the Stars.
There were canned pears or pear pie filling on the salad.
Ew.
It seems weird that the east coast games have been over for an hour but there’s a game just starting in the west. North America is too large.
The Devils and the Sabres both won? Yay!
Also: Uh-oh.
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
And they had good drinks at your party, Amy? I’m so jealous! My holiday party is all about the lousy table wine, and cash bar for watery domestic beers. :( (I’ve been put in charge of the drinks for a department holiday party, and I’m a bit ashamed to admit that I opted for watery domestic beers and lousy table wines. Heh. I had limited options! :D)
It seems weird that the east coast games have been over for an hour but there’s a game just starting in the west.
This Vancouver game has been mildly entertaining.
And drinks were open bar and the bartender made his drinks using Sandy pours.
I don’t get booze at my company holiday. :(
And drinks were open bar and the bartender made his drinks using Sandy pours.
NICE! I need to get a job at your office, I think… :D (The best my party has to offer is that I was joking with the events planner at work about how I wanted a really classy cocktail hour for my department, and she said, “So no mini-hot dogs, then? How about instead we have ‘tube steaks en croute’?”)
Tube steaks?
‘tube steaks en croute’?
Brilliant.
I actually ordered a tray of mini hot dogs for the reception, just so I can laugh and laugh at it.
‘tube steaks en croute’
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Our holiday party has a bar, if I recall, and “heavy hors d’oevres”
Not sure what that is. Maybe ‘tube steaks en croute’!
“heavy hors d’oevres”
That seems oxymoronic…
“heavy hors d’oevres”

:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Yeeeeah. Would that just be dinner entrees served on little cocktail toothpicks?
Or maybe your forks and spoons have that plastic fringe on the handles.

Everybody has a giant plate and just chooses their own Beef Wellington, then moves down the table to get a whole pork chop. And then they try to eat it standing around. :D
Woooooooooo!! Modano!
The (Not)s got six goals tonight! Finally getting a chance to put Patty in is what did it, I think.
Patty are you getting the game. We are watching the Mavs postgame waiting and waiting for the Stars to come on.

I need to change my “decline” to “accept” on that invite.
Good morning everyone! Sounds like it was an interesting night for hockey. I missed the festivities but from what I’ve seen on NHL.com, I don’t ever want Kaleta to score again. I hate douche-y goal celebrations. If I wanted to watch that @#$% I’d watch football. Or the Capitals.
If I wanted to watch that @#$% I’d watch football. Or the Capitals.
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: SO. TRUE. I hope guys who do that shit get heavily fined in kangaroo court.
And good, um, “morning”, everyone! We just got back from a thoroughly rain-drenched Christmas tree procuring expedition. If it was, like, five degrees colder, it would be snowing. Hard. :(
It’s not a Christmas tree unless there was extreme discomfort involved finding it!
And speaking of a great find, the amputee donkey is back!!! It’s a Christmas miracle! I guess he was found under the couch sometime in July, then put in a desk until Christmas, only to be forgotten! I’ve also realized that it was only the camel who is an amputee. Donkey’s laying down, so technically his legs aren’t visible, but he’s just missing his ears.
It’s not a Christmas tree unless there was extreme discomfort involved finding it!
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Right! The guys at the christmas tree lot were laughing as we picked the first tree we looked at — they said that this kind of weather really helps people make decisions. Heh.
And I’m SO HAPPY that amputee donkey is back in the fold! Also, to find out that he has an amputee support group in the creche with him. Because amputated ears are still amputated, no?
Also, to find out that he has an amputee support group in the creche with him. Because amputated ears are still amputated, no?
Good point! They’ll need each other to get through the holidays without the faceless sheep who is still MIA.
I think a sheep that had a face amputation needs more support from a support group than the donkey and camel do.
I always thought maybe the sheep liked not having a face because it helped him stand out from the other sheep. I probably wouldn’t have noticed if one of the other sheep had been lost, but missing the faceless sheep? I noticed that immediately!
I probably wouldn’t have noticed if one of the other sheep had been lost, but missing the faceless sheep? I noticed that immediately!
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: That’s a good point. All of our creche’s sheep are in different poses, so they’re all distinct. There’s the standing sheep, the lying-down sheep, and the sheep that is draped over the shepherd’s shoulders. That one shouldn’t really count as a sheep, since he’s more a non-detachable accessory for the shepherd, but still. He IS a sheep.
I don’t ever want Kaleta to score again. I hate douche-y goal celebrations.
Yeah, his celebrations are super-annoying, but I’m willing to give him a pass for last night -
1) Eh, he doesn’t score a lot.
2) He got the game-tying goal and then he got the game winner shorthanded. That’s really something else.
3) He had a great game on all counts
4) He downplayed himself in the intermission interview and said he wanted to concentrate on the team winning the game.
5) Let’s consider it something else to work on. He really seems to be growing up this year. (You know, when he wasn’t getting himself suspended.)

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Roy-z has an outfit like that.
He really seems to be growing up this year. (You know, when he wasn’t getting himself suspended.)
:^::::::::::::::::::::: I didn’t get to see the game, only the highlights, so I was going to give him a pass for the emotions of game-tying and winning goals. But it was SO douche-y. I love when Goose was all embarrassed because he did a fist pump two years ago, but that was a clutch goal and it was just pure adrenaline. Patty’s shenanigans were too thought out. And did I mention they looked really douche-y? :)
Patty’s shenanigans were too thought out
Heh. He pretty much admitted as much.

I’m still loving his game last night.
The Chicago announcers will call diving on EVERY penalty the Hawks take. Ugggh.
Roy-z has an outfit like that.

Wait, Kathleen, you’re getting the Chicago feed? We’re watching on the Tampa one, and it blows…
I don’t have cable, so my hockey watching is courtesy of the magic of the internets. Which feed I get is a crapshoot.
If I don’t get the Buf feed for the Sabres, though, I’ll mute & keep RJ on the radio, even though it’s a couple seconds off.
Ooooh! The internets! Fancy! I never thought of that. :D
Hmmph!
I can’t believe the Hawks couldn’t pull a PPG out of THREE 5 on 3s. I mean, fine, they shut out TB, but DUDES!
At the very least, they could have gotten some more points for the Too Oranges from Soupy and Big Buf.
