Now That We’re All Western Conference Fans, Here’s An Open Thread

April 27, 2010 by Schnookie

Things were getting a bit stale around here, what with that days-old post, so here’s an open thread for tonight’s exciting Detroit/Phoenix Game 7! (We thought the Washington/Montreal one was tonight, too. What gives?)

Desert hockey. Eeeewwww. I don’t have the pain tolerance for game 7′s much anymore. There is “work” spread out all over the ottoman in front of me to keep me occupied and hopefully serene. Think good thoughts. I sense a big night for Henrik.

People of Montreal and Washington need a day of rest from watching Halak. It’s like staring directly at the sun.

I sense a big night for Henrik.

Oooh! Here’s hoping! (And as for your “work”, I hope it’s more productive than the full day of “work” I was supposedly doing today. That’s eight hours of my life that I’ll never get back. Heh.)

Game 7s make me terribly nervous, too. Let’s hope it doesn’t go to OT.

Hello, -Ookies and Irregulars! How goes it? I have been rooting for the Caps and they’ve been sucking so I’m afraid to pull for the, ah, preferred team for the Wings/Yotes out of paranoid fear I may curse them.

I felt so bad for Varlamov that last game. Halak’s 53 saves made Varlamov’s 18 look pretty … pathetic.
on April 27, 2010 at 9:02 pm Patty (in Dallas)

That’s okay, Caitlin! You can root for the Wings if you want. :P

18 is pretty pathetic no matter how many saves the other guy got.

… It could have been no saves? :D That might’ve been worse.

It’s nice to know that even though I haven’t watched hockey in FOREVER, that I was totally shocked that Carcillo’s playing for Phoenix and I still have to remember Marc Effing Crawford is coaching the Stars, Brian Engblom’s hair still looks like a ferret crawled on his head and died. The more things change…

Halak’s 53 saves made Varlamov’s 18 look pretty … pathetic.

In all fairness to Varlamov, at one point Halak was so on fire, he was skating down to the other side of the rink to make saves on the Habs players. Just because he can. And everytime he’d skate back and forth, he’d punch Carey Price in the face. Just because he can.

Yeah. That would have been awkward, mcguffs.

Candy Corn Head is Datsyuk. Caitlin’s boyfriend. :P

Carol, it’s Pavel Datsyuk. You can see the photographic proof that he has a candy corn head HERE. If you dare… bwah-ha-ha!
on April 27, 2010 at 9:34 pm Caitlin

I can’t remember who Candy Corn Head is!

Pavel Datsyuk! :D

The playoff montage was really nicely done, but then they ruined it by showing a staged clip of Breezy trying to look uber-serious and very hardcore. After seeing how goofy Bryz is, I just can’t picture him as serious.

Is it wrong that I keep hearing so many “I want Ovechkin’s team to win the Cup. Who are they? Oh, right, the Capitals? Yeah, I want Ovie to win!” and “I want Crosby to win. Which team is he on? The Penguins? Really? Oh, well, whatever, yeah, them.” and every time I do I want to punch someone?

Ovechkin just gets progressively douchier. For the most part, I like seeing the guy play but it’s like he’s picked up the Yashin-Fedorov virus of Russian douchiness.

Oh my God, I wish I thought of that sooner. If it keeps happening, I definitely will. Honestly, this is the same bunch that was saying today they wish they had Carey Price in their Playoff Fantasy League because…my God I can’t believe I’m relaying this…but because he made “like 40 saves against Ovechkin.”

I just…there are so many things wrong with that sentence.
on April 27, 2010 at 10:01 pm Pookie

Yeeeeeah. It’s a little like Xeno’s Paradox. He just keeps taking steps that get him halfway to the Douchiest Person On The Planet. Just when you think he’s all the way there, he proves there’s still more to go.
on April 27, 2010 at 10:04 pm Caitlin

That don’t happen hereh in the South.

Oddly enough, someone at a gas station the other day saw my Ovechkin shirt (yeah, I know, I know) and told me they wondered how he was doing in that rainy Washington weather. It took me a second to realize he thought Ovechkin played in Washington state.

Just when you think he’s all the way there, he proves there’s still more to go.

How many more years on that contract does he have? I shudder to think what’s still in store for us. I could let my imagination run, but I don’t really want to.

Well, good night ladies. It’s been fun even if the evil Red Wings won. Trying to win me over with their cute young goalie. I see what you are doing Detroit and it won’t work!

See you back here tomorrow night for another delightful Game 7.

Just please no Caps/Wings.

Or Pens/Wings. Or Caps anything.

I’d like a Pens/Black Hawks final or Pens/Canucks final. Those would be nice and pleasant.
on April 28, 2010 at 9:05 am wraparounddostres

I just hope the Caps win tonight, not only because they are my secret boyfriends, but because I desperately want a Bruins/Pens match-up in the next round.
on April 28, 2010 at 9:26 am Kathleen

I was hoping for a Pens/Flyers match-up in the next round, but the Sabres RUINED it. Bruins/Pens is very unappealing uniforms-wise. Might as well show the game in black & white :p

Amy, “nice” and “pleasant” are not usually the words that come to mind when I watch the Canucks. More like “punchy” and “deranged.”

Bruins/Pens is very unappealing uniforms-wise. Might as well show the game in black & white

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: I feel like Bruins/Pens would be an entires series of that regular-season game that you look at on the schedule when assessing what the week ahead will be like, hockey-wise, and you think, “Okay, that day doesn’t suck, because that game sounds kinda interesting,” but then when it rolls around and you turn the game on, you think “wait, I’m a fan of this sport? The hell? This is BORING!” So what I’m saying is that I have no unusual interest in a Bruins/Pens series. It radiates blandness off the page. :D

And BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! to Caps/ANYTHING. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! I say!

Maybe I’ve seen one too many Lifetime movies in my long hockey-less summers, but I want to see Savard skating against Cooke and kicking his ass up and down the ice. In a non-violent, I’m too good to stoop to your level and beat you up but I will skate circles around your team and beat your morale to a slimy pulp until you beg for mercy type way.

So did everyone know that Pierre McGuire is from New Jersey? Am I just really late on this one?

Oh and I want the Habs to win tonight so the fans can have their nice little riot.
on April 28, 2010 at 11:29 am Schnookie

So did everyone know that Pierre McGuire is from New Jersey? Am I just really late on this one?

He always used to be referred to in the local press (years and years ago, mind you) as “Pierre (Bergen Catholic) McGuire”, so I’ve known he was from Jersey long before I knew who he actually was. I am, on behalf of our state, unclaiming him. He’s free for the taking, everyone else. :P
on April 28, 2010 at 11:33 am Pookie

Yeah, I knew Pierre was very Jersey. Waaaay back in the day, I actually liked and respected him because he was one of the few people in the media who seemed to actually have an idea what was going on with the Devils. Then he became the Pierre McGuire we all despise more than anything else in hockey.
on April 28, 2010 at 11:50 am Amy

Pierre is from New Jersey? I learned something new today.
on April 28, 2010 at 11:57 am Grrrreg

on April 28, 2010 at 12:03 pm andrew

Come now — surely that’s not better than watching the Wings advance? :P

Setting myself on fire would be better. :D

Something all Sharks and Stars fans can agree on. And Hawks fans, and Pens fans, and Avs fans, and….

I don’t like the octopus tradition at all. Can’t they use something else? Like a stuffed animal? It’s mean to octopuses.

It is kinda gross, isn’t it?

Ever seen Oldboy? Now that’s mean.

Yeah. Or maybe I’ll just kick the garbage can of the neighbors. I’m not sure the cops would understand if I tell them the molotov coktail I just threw them was in honor of a tiny Slovak shutting down a big reckless Russian in front of 20000 people dressed in red, 5000 kms away from Paris.

Yes, very subtle anti-Red Wings message. If eating a live octopus can be considered subtle. (btw, it is a phenomenal movie. Very violent, but fantastic. Highly recommended.)

Hey did you guys see? They re-named the Lester B. Pearson award to the Ted Lindsay award. Where’s my godamn tin foil!?!

“Of course, I’ll be forever traumatized by the octopus, so maybe I shouldn’t…”

It’s not that bad, just kind of squicky. Apparently it’s a real dish, that real people eat in Korea. Don’t know if I want to sample that one. There’s only one scene in the movie that makes me avert my gaze, but that’s because I’m a total wuss when it comes to teeth.

YES! I’m ready. I won’t watch the entire game right now, I’ll probably just watch the first period and download the remaining of the game tomorrow morning. I just hope the habs are still in this after 20 minutes so that I can go to bed with hope!

Oh that’s nice. They’ve already taken Miller out of the Versus commercial where the voiceover says “the best make it in.” Well that’s sweet. Glad they left Pronger in.
on April 28, 2010 at 7:27 pm Myra

I’m still trying to figure out what kind of girl would marry Ovie. I can’t seem to wrap my mind around the concept. Which I know makes no sense. He’s a rich pro athlete, I know there are tons of chics who would jump at the chance. But it still makes no sense in my brain.
on April 28, 2010 at 7:29 pm mcguffers

Myra, there are a few pictures out there of Ovie and Markov partying with some young ladies. I believe the term is “gold-digging whores.”

Woah. Now that was too effing close for comfort.

Myra, I’ll give you a summary. Basically Blersus is giving EVERY. SINGLE. STAT. they can come up with as to why the Caps should win this. Every team whose captain wears a size 12 skate has won a game 7 in the first round in the past 3653 billion years.
