Devils @ Flyers, Game 3

April 18, 2010 by Pookie

We’re breaking them out preemptively. We’re hoping not to have to use them in the game.

Devils, don’t make us use the fuck hell kitten mittens on you!

That kitten’s facial expression is the pure definition of Fuck Hell Kitten Mittens.

I’m not going to pretend I’m not a big math nerd, so I have to say, I love how with all but one series tied at 1, the results of the Frisby bowl are totally dependent on how everyone ranked Chicago and Nashville.

:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: It’s like during the first week of the hockey season, when Team A has played, like, four games, and Team B has played only one, and people look at the standings and make sweeping proclamations about how much better Team A is than Team B. I’m starting to feel like maybe it’s still too early-going to focus too hard on the Frisby Bowl standings! :P

And about the picture, Favre was the living embodiment of Fuck Hell Kitten Mittens when he was young. Now he’s the living embodiment of Fuck Hell Cat Mittens, whatever that might mean. :P

Unless Team B is the Leafs and Team A is anyone else.

Gen. Weber’s facial expression is usually “My head’s stuck in a mitten.”

Oooh, this is a very good point. There definitely are some teams that it’s never too early to judge by the standings. Heh.

I’ve had one. They’re stinky *wrinkles nose*. I’m still pissed we couldn’t keep the chinchilla because Leo was scared of it. Now we have 2 rabbits and 2 parakeets, but I’m allergic so I can’t go near them. *whinewhinewhinewhinewhine*

Dude, this series is awesome.

I know right! I love it :D

I’m a little upset that Chicago and Nashville didn’t have the earliest game today. For no other reason than for the possibility of Chicago winning and making Frisby Bowl completely tied after almost five days of playoffs.
on April 18, 2010 at 3:35 pm Schnookie

Now we have 2 rabbits and 2 parakeets, but I’m allergic so I can’t go near them.

That’s a total drag! How about a dog? Are you allergic to Bitter? (I had a whole allergy scratch test thing done back when I was in high school, and reacted most vehemently to the placebo, so I know I’m not actually allergic, but whenever we’ve had birds [finches or parakeets], I’ve been very wheezy and cough-y. And that’s my story. I know you were all wondering how I react to pet birds.)

I’m allergic to fricking everything. But no, I’m not allergic to Bitter. Just to her saliva. Good thing she’s not a kissy dog. But Le’s afraid of dogs too. She’s afraid of pretty much anything she can’t outrun. I’m going to succumb and just get a guinea pig or something. They make cute noises.

Eww! Dog saliva! I am spiritually allergic to it. :P

Guinea pigs really are shockingly cute, aren’t they? I’m sitting here thinking, “Really? A guinea pig? Aren’t they kind of lame?” But then the more I think about them, the more I think, “No, they’re not lame — they’re adorable!”

“Really? A guinea pig? Aren’t they kind of lame?”

Well they are kind of lame, but they squeek in an adorable way. And I can have it roll around in one of those spiffy balls! It’ll be hilarious. As long as I keep the safety gates we installed for the rabbits closed, otherwise it’ll probably roll off the stairs. Which wouldn’t be so much hilarious as extremely tragic.

Oh frick the Red Wings.

When I was a sophomore in high school, my dad let me get this four year old guinea pig that some lady was trying to get rid of. I named him Bacon and we had a blast together. He squeked when I got home from school everyday and antagonized my cat. I was told his life span was about 5-6 years so I figured I was his little pig retirement home (or the guinea pigs version of the Rangers). That furball lived until my junior year of college. My dad still teases me about dumping Bacon on him when i went away to school, but honestly I didn’t think I’d get stuck with a 34 year old guinea pig. And that’s my story.

I doubt Weber will live that long, because he’s a complete idiot. He’s the kid who’s always getting his head stuck in the staircase railings.

Does NBC really think it has a new audience every week, thereby necessitating Doc saying, “What do you mean by ‘active stick’?” every time Edzo color commentates with that term? Because I suspect the majority of the audience is doing what I just did, screaming at the TV, “Doc you asked that LAST WEEK.”

I imagine Rangers fans must be feeling about Prucha the way I felt (as a New York Football Giants fan) watching David Patten catching a touchdown in the Super Bowl:

My hopes have officially been downgraded to “surviving” the rest of the period.

Yeah, this is starting to look like some good, old-fashioned Devils first-round hockey. In that I’m wondering why the game is still going on, when it’s clearly already been lost.
on April 18, 2010 at 7:30 pm wraparounddostres

This game has really gotten me back into shape. After Friday I was thinking, hey, they could be really aggressive and win this…maybe even in less than 7! Tonight? Maybe they won’t lose it in only 5…maybe.

Hi Saki! It’s great to hear from you!

Every time I think to myself, “Fuck Rolston has the puck…” he does something brilliant.

So you’re the one! :P I used to have that kind of relationship with Elias. It got to the point where I actually emailed the old “Matt and the Maven” segment between periods of a game to complain about the terrible slump he’d been in, and between the moment I hit “send” and the moment Stan read my email, he scored twice. Just so that Stan could loudly deride me for all the world to hear.

I know he’s literally EVERYONE’S elder, but still…you’ve gotta correct him eventually.

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Poor Zubrus is like, “Well it’s not going to be me!” He’s such a team player, though, that he’s probably like, “Okay, ‘Denise’ it is!”

I just got named MVP in my last collegiate hurling match. Might be my last game for a while. Got to run a newb over though, so hooray.

Marty’s historically terrible in OT, so I have to agree.

Shit. I forgot that doesn’t work when I will it to.

Yeah, I could never fake it with calling Patty out either, back when he was still listening to me. (I’ve softened a lot over the years. That Hep season really made me less quick with the pink slips for him. :P)

Oh no. I’m so sorry. That might have been my fault.

No, go look up Marty’s career record in playoff OT. It’s SO not your fault. (And I know, he deserved better tonight, because the Devils don’t make it to OT without him playing lights out in the third, but still. He’s not very good in OT. :P)

I usually watch NHL on the Fly in the mornings before I go to school to catch up on any games I missed the night before, and they showed it at least a dozen times. And the Boyle interview. AND even the regular news showed it! I don’t remember what channel but it wasn’t even the sports guy, it was like the regular anchors. They were like, “in a rare, albeit funny for those who weren’t rooting for the Sharks, event…” (cut to clip and play repeatedly for 5 minutes.)

It was EVERYWHERE.

So that’s where the Canucks are going wrong. I get it now. Luongo’s Knob.

I did watch the Av’s game last night and that was very cool for their goalie – he got a big standing O after it was over and I’ve never seen such a happy man ever. 51 saves and a shut out? Killer!

And seeing Nabokov’s reaction immediately after the puck went in the net was kinda funny. Since it wasn’t my team, that is.
on April 19, 2010 at 1:19 pm andrew

haha…yeah I thought Boyle’s goal might be a topic of conversation here this morning. Good lord, what a way to end a game. Anybody watch the whole thing? 51 shots….Anderson was on frickin’ fire.

I’m confident they would have lost anyway, because they’re the Sharks (all of whom were apparently Hitler in their previous lives), but losing like that? Not sure if it was better or worse for all involved, because at least this way there were some laffs to be had. Personally I think I would have been more upset if it were a fluke like Stewart’s game 1 winner.

Anyway, happy Monday everyone. Let’s go Buffalo!!

At this point, if they lose in the first round, I think the joke will implode on itself. It’ll be played out, no one will want to put forth the effort to make fun of their playoff failures anymore becuase it’s simply too obvious. Like a standup comic making jokes about airline food.

Plus the media’s attention will be focused elsewhere as soon as the Caps lose to Montreal. (I have the sneaking suspicion the Cpas are the new Sharks).

I guess Blersus doesn’t want to start with us again.

They stepped in it with the Buffalo blogs. Some of us got the “pimp us, but do it for free,” email. While others got the “pimp us and you might win a hoodie” email.

I don’t think so. Last year, this year, the Olympics (which were pretty much the Caps minus Backstrom), it’s all looking very ominous to me.

Ah Versus. Every year they find a way to fuck something up. It sounds to me like they just changed the nametag from “Broadcast Team” to “Innernet PR Team” and let them get to work.

The Cpas…I never thought of them as a bunch of accountants before. Doesn’t exactly fit in with Ovie’s image as “Mr. Excitement”. Yes, I know it’s a typo. I just couldn’t resist. I mean, isn’t Sid more the boring, CPA proto-type?

Anyway, the Caps-as-Sharks doesn’t quite fit. The Sharks actually have less of an excuse. The Caps really don’t have the defense to win and their forwards don’t really shut people down, either. The Sharks actually have a decent D-corps (when they aren’t scoring into their own net) and their forwards can backcheck. Apparently they need a new goalie – but they also need to rethink other aspects of that team.

Then again, so does NJ. How do you not bother to try in a fucking playoff game????
on April 19, 2010 at 3:00 pm SueNJ97

BTW, Marty is one of the 3 finalists for the Vezina, along w/Crunchy and Bryzgalov. No way he deserves to win.

Dude, you have REALLY got to wonder. (Actually, no, I don’t have to wonder, because I completely understand what they’re doing. The playoffs are the hockey version of work overtime. As soon as I get past 5:00, I become surly and pathetic and my work ethic disappears. The Devils — they’re just like me!)
on April 19, 2010 at 3:07 pm SueNJ97

No, that’s not the one… of course, maybe the squirrel-themed one feels the same way about him? :D

Actually, it does. But don’t refer to it as a ‘blog’. Ro’ doesn’t appreciate that. He’s a Prucha fan, though and still follows his career now that Petr has been sent to Phoenix.

So, (for example) you’re saying that Langer’s been pouting, sulking, and acting like my cats when they think I’ve paid attention to other cats because he’s now officially “off the clock”?

Well, to go back to what we used to say about his captaincy…fuck this shit. Can we fire all of them?

So um, how ’bout them Devils? Yeah. I can’t even watch these stupid effin’ games because three weeks ago a broke out with an allergic reaction to one of the meds I was put on for my shoulder surgery. I still have spots on me, although my wife Liz says a went from a “plague victim” look to “just some acne” over a week ago.

Anyway, if I watch the games I just start to itch from the stress (I guess) so I just gave it up during game 2.

I have a new prediction regarding the 2010 SCF: All rounnds are going seven. Every team will do at least three things to blow games and/or drive their fans bonkers. Then half the teams will treat their fans to various soul crushing losses.

Eric Staal is writing the scripts for round one this year people. I… just… know… it…

In that case, we need to find out if he hates the Flyers more than he hates NJ.

Question…would he eliminate the Pens so that his brother doesn’t get a second ring?

Apparently, like the script writers from all other years, he really has it in for the Sharks.

All due respect to your allergic reaction, which totally sucks by the way, I’m sorry to hear that.
I’ve had a weird reaction to the Devils too! (Or maybe my PMS, but you know, PMS the Devils…same thorn in my side.) I feel the need to fill the empty whole in my head (read: stomach) that the Devils’ talent used to occupy with every edible item I see. I’m going to gain a million pounds if they don’t pick up their game.

on April 19, 2010 at 6:30 pm Schnookie

Morgan, I have to say, I’m pretty impressed that you’ve developed a bona fide allergic reaction to the playoff model of the Devils. We all should have seen this coming! They should have a warning label! (Seriously, though, I’m really sorry.)

wraparounddostres, the Devils are SO like a hole in our heads, so that’s an easily understandable typo. :P
on April 19, 2010 at 6:34 pm wraparounddostres

Oh! And I meant hole. Not whole.

Hi Kathleen!

I’d also like to take the time to say: I have been waiting for the last six months to find out where I’m going to go to college and now Notre Dame decided that they require from me an OPTIONAL form and I will not know for at least another ten days and I may or may not (NOT) be able to fly out there before I have to decide where I’m going.
So, FUCK HELL KITTEN MITTENS TO YOU NOTRE DAME!

Yeah, Notre Dame, fuck hell kitten mittens!

Good morning, everyone!
on April 20, 2010 at 9:31 am Schnookie

And good morning, everyone! What a poopy night of hockey that was last night. I hope it’s gotten it all out of its system now…

Well… the Kings game was pretty fun for me, except for the severe case of powerplay envy that I contracted.
on April 20, 2010 at 10:45 am mcguffers

Good Morning!!

I’m having a delightful day!! I ordered a new laptop Wednesday night. Friday, they sent me an email asking me to call to confirm my order and shipping address. I worked all day and didn’t get the email until Saturday. They’re not there on Saturday. So I sent an email to confirm the order. They sent one yesterday saying they need an actual phone call. So I just called, was on hold for 15 minutes for a 25 second address verification. The operator mentioned that they had sent two emails. Which is when I politely yet sternly explained I have had trouble getting emails because my computer isn’t working… which is why my order is for a computer. I’m now getting expedited shipping.

And that’s my story.

Oh, and Eff Monday night hockey. In stan def no less.

They promised I’d have my laptop Thursday afternoon. Which is the day after the next Sabres game. So there are two reasons I will either be very very very happy on Thursday or very very very homicidal.

on April 20, 2010 at 12:50 pm wraparounddostres

That’s true, I guess the Devils are very reliable, just not in the way we’d like them to be. How about…less reliable than the punishments for illegal headshots?
on April 20, 2010 at 12:56 pm Amy

How about…less reliable than the punishments for illegal headshots?

Or less reliable than the interpretation of “distinct kicking motion.”
on April 20, 2010 at 1:00 pm wraparounddostres

No…no…not a “distinct kicking motion, but a kicking motion.”
on April 20, 2010 at 1:05 pm Schnookie

I went to bed early last night — what was the deal with the kicking motion? Another one of those arbitrary interpretations of the rule?
on April 20, 2010 at 1:17 pm wraparounddostres

Sedin went to…hockey stop (I don’t know how to better describe it.) He turned his skates to stop so he wouldn’t crash into the net/goaltender/to get out of the way of the defender behind him. Someone, I don’t remember who, center the puck from behindish the net and it hit off of Sedin’s skate as he was stopping and deflected into the net.
He was CLEARLY not kicking or trying to kick or anything. There was no, wind leg up, moving forward, motion. But since he was in motion and the motion may or may not have had to do with the speed at which/where the puck deflected to, it was deemed a “kicking motion” and thus not a goal.

Bullshit.
on April 20, 2010 at 1:18 pm Amy

I went to bed early last night — what was the deal with the kicking motion? Another one of those arbitrary interpretations of the rule?

I think so, but I was asleep last night as well. Mirtle and Greg W. were fighting on Twitter this morning about how to fix the rule to avoid the ambiguity. But really, what is an NHL rule without at least 17 different layers of ambiguity.
on April 20, 2010 at 1:30 pm alix

That should have been a goal. ESPECIALLY since they ruled it a goal on the ice. There was no kicking motion. At all. We were JOBBED!

But that’s not really the Canucks problem. Luongo is a pile of puke and the penalty kill is a horror show.

Hockey SUCKS
on April 20, 2010 at 1:32 pm wraparounddostres

At least it wasn’t only a one-goal deficit, that it would’ve made the difference. Then again, I guess i was a soul-crusher and might’ve killed their momentum.
But for serious, alix, you’re right. There was no evidence to justify overturning the call on the ice. If it has been called not a goal, maybe there wasn’t sufficient evidence to over turn that either, but still. Crap.
on April 20, 2010 at 1:40 pm alix

wraparounddostres,

Yeah, I just don’t understand their reasoning at all. Crap indeed. But you’re right maybe it was a momentum killer but they were killing themselves with penalties either way.
on April 20, 2010 at 1:53 pm SueNJ97

But since he was in motion and the motion may or may not have had to do with the speed at which/where the puck deflected to, it was deemed a “kicking motion” and thus not a goal.

Oh, the same “kicking motion” that cost NJ an OT goal in Detroit (off Madden’s skate) back in 2003, I think? And then after it was disallowed, the Wings scored.

But, then the league looked at it again afterwards and discovered that it shouldn’t have been disallowed after all, so when the same thing happened against NJ in Washington (the Caps scored the same way), it counted. When NJ protested, the refs told them, “Remember the goal that was disallowed and cost you a game…well, turns out it was a mistake – but nobody told you. The league sent a notice to the refs about it”.

Bet the league takes another look and decides they were wrong – too late to do anything for the Canucks, of course.
on April 20, 2010 at 2:41 pm andrew

“Remember the goal that was disallowed and cost you a game…well, turns out it was a mistake – but nobody told you. The league sent a notice to the refs about it”.

Yeah, I vaguely remember something similiar happening to the Sabres once. I dunno, some obscure rule…

alix, sorry about the no-goal last night. That was the stupidest call ever.
on April 20, 2010 at 2:47 pm carolbrowne

Another one of those arbitrary interpretations of the rule?

Yes. And now I hate Kelly Hrudy’s hair. He announces for the CBC and sided with the refs. He’s a turd.

Everyone in Vancouver is in a bad mood today. Even the homeless guy on the street with the harmonica was yelling about how the Canucks will be playing golf in a few days.

:-(

Hockey blows. But I’ll watch it on Wednesday just in case it doesn’t.

And I think Chico is finally hitting full-tilt senility during this game (note: 4/20/10).
