While some teams are getting all excited to be playing in the Stanley Cup Final, our stupid team is doing no such thing. Instead, they’re hanging around the American Museum of Natural History.
Ugh. Brian Rolston. He’s not a Tyrannosaurus Rex in a good sense. He’s a Tyrannosaurus Rex in the “old, dried up stack of bones” sense. –Schn.
Jamie Langenbrunner. He’s such a square. — Pk.
This is a very appropriate setting for Colin White, because watching him play hockey makes me want to eat arsenic. –Schn.
For some reason, Zubrus is my favorite Devil to find in the wild. And this is my favorite Zubrus I’ve spotted. –Schn.
I’m calling Chicago 5, Flyers 0.
That’s such a nice looking Zubrus. I’m glad to see that your trip went well!
And I’m calling Crunchy 2, Pierre & Milbury -12.
Amy, I think that Zubrus is my favorite Devils in the Wild yet! I was so tickled when I saw Schnookie’s pictures.
Crunchy’s only going to get 2? Against Pierre and Milbury? I guess he’s not known for offense… :D
I’m rooting for Philly because the thought of Marian Hossa becoming the biggest poison chalice in sports history AND that pig-faced mural of the Hawks with the Cup being ruined totally overpower my hate of thugs in orange.
Thugs in Orange would be a great name for an album, but a terrible name for a rap group, unless they were Dutch.
Thugs ‘N Orange sounds like some horrible inner city organic produce store.
Thugs ‘N Orange sounds like the worst powdered “orange” kids drink ever.
And if Crunchy can’t outscore Pierre/Milbury by more than 14, I will be very disappointed! :P
Is it just me of is the SCF patch kinda boring this year? I miss the big starburst pattern. Why must things change? Why can’t things always be 2000? Heh heh heh.
Zubrus’s number is my favorite. I could never play for the Stars because 8 is retired. :(
I calling Pierre and Milbury idiots. ;P
I think the pea stalks in our garden have a wider circumference than Crunchy.
I’m not sure what to think right now about whether this is a sign or not — we got a case of a red wine that we really enjoyed this winter, and just now have opened a bottle of it… to discover that it’s fizzy. It was not fizzy last time we had it. Is unexpected carbonation in your wine a sign of Beaks winning?
Awww! Look at will o’ the wisp Crunchy!
I calling Pierre and Milbury idiots. ;P
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;
Crunchy loses 2 points for not giving Pierre a Koho sandwich after Pierre backed ass-first into him.
Pierre is not respecting Crunchy’s personal space. He is going to be SORRY for that. Heh.
Crunchy’s only going to get 2? Against Pierre and Milbury? I guess he’s not known for offense…
Heh.
I give him one point already for that subtle back skate and shove away from Pierre in the crease.
Aw, geez. I meant I’MMMMM calling… Sheesh. Sitting in the sun all day has made me a little dizzy.

Fortunately, Pierre just bumped him in the knees.

Ugh. Stupid Hawks.

Those are some very valuable knees!
And would Pronger & Big Buff just fight already? Enough with the foreplay.
Enough with the foreplay.
Foreplay? Yeah, you know, foreplay! Nationals? Roses? Sleep, I’d rather sleep.
Ka CHING!
Nice ring off the pipe. Then BOO, they scored.
Is that from that movie, Pookie? OMG! I can’t think of it! I’m so embarrassed!
When in doubt, Patty, think “Cutting Edge”. And if it doesn’t sound at all like it could come from “The Cutting Edge”, then think “LA Confidential”.
Cutting Edge! That’s the one. I can’t believe I couldn’t think of it. I knew it wasn’t Ice Castles. :P
And if it doesn’t sound at all like it could come from “The Cutting Edge”, then think “LA Confidential”.
That’s a great rule of thumb!
“This is HORSESHIT! You call this a SPORT???” is Cutting Edge, and “Woman beaters. Do you hate them, Wendell?” is LA Confidential. Just as an example. :P
Crunchy’s chin is massive. No wonder he’s such a good goalie, pucks must just fall into orbit around it.
“This is HORSESHIT! You call this a SPORT???” is Cutting Edge, and “Woman beaters. Do you hate them, Wendell?” is LA Confidential. Just as an example. :P
Never mix those, else you sound like you’re angry about people beating their wives without a competitive edge.
Oh. Dear. God. Pierre just gave Crunchy finger-guns. That qualifies as a chocking hazard.
(And I’ll get it out of the way for you all:
“You’re weeeeelllcome.”)
Pierre seems oddly obsessed with big bodies parking themselves in front of Crunchy. I’m half waiting for a question to be asked about Sid making himself comfortable in Crunchy’s crease.
Since I’m working on my second beer and first Benadryl, I think this is a great time to start some cinnamon buns.

Sid: You’re welcome? I think?

I think he’s thinking back to earlier in the day when he got to do that very thing. It’s like a trigger, and now he’ll be obsessed for years.
He might even start hoarding. :P
Oh, and I got THIS today: “this is motherfucking chris pronger”
the search terms log is the funnest thing ever.
Mmm. Beefy.

Here’s another example:
“I couldn’t help but notice you have a great sit spin” is LA Confidential. “You say fuck a lot. Is that an integral part of your job?” is Cutting Edge. No, wait…

I thought I had it, but now I’m not so sure….
If your name is an onomatopoeia like Powe, you’re doomed to play hockey.
Hm, maybe I should combine the two and make “LA Cutting Edge”. “Oh, and Edmund? Lose the rock during practice. I can’t think of a man on the force who wears one.”
“Oh, and Edmund? Lose the rock during practice. I can’t think of a man on the force who wears one.”

Doug: “Can’t find the go-to guy? You people are all excuses! I’ve watched the tape from Calgary. Brian was getting the job done. Can’t find the go-to guy? Maybe you should have started with a go-to girl.”
Jack: “Brian was just someone who could answer yes to those questions I asked you earlier, Douglas.”
What the heck was that?
A goal. I think it’s a little late in the season to start asking what the rules are, bravo on bluffing this long though.
Evil Farmer Hoggett: “Have you a benediction, boy-o?”
Jack: “Toepick.”
Jack: “Brian was just someone who could answer yes to those questions I asked you earlier, Douglas.”
DAY-UM! I can’t top that.
You guys aren’t LA Confidential fans, eh? You should totally watch it. And pretend that pre-K-Pax Kevin Spacey is playing Kate Dorsey, and Russel Crowe is playing Doug Dorsey.
(I have to confess I’m only getting the Cutting Edge side, though. :P )
Same here.
Jack: “Toepick.”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Now that one I can’t top. And now I’m thinking I might never be able to watch LA Confidential again.
I liked LA Confidential a lot but I’ve only seen it once and it was years ago so . . . yeah, I’m only vaguely getting that side of things as well.
I’m getting no sides of anything. :(
Meg, LA Confidential is totally worth re-watching it.
Everyone else, LA Confidential is totally worth watching for the first time. :D
Meg, LA Confidential is totally worth re-watching
I think I’ll have to now. :)
Stupid Hawks!
Holy night of bad goaltending, Batman.
Well said, Amy!
My, what a pleasantly surprising tying goal!
This is what the powers that be wanted. Soon as they get it though, they blame it on bad goalies.
Oh my gosh another goal. It’s not even the third! I think it’s gonna go to overtime, tied at 9-9, and then they’re both going to score in OT. It’s just that kind of game.
These are the oddest All-Star Game jerseys ever.
This is the All-Star Game, right? That’s why there’s no defense, right?
I think it’s gonna go to overtime, tied at 9-9, and then they’re both going to score in OT. It’s just that kind of game.
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Yeah, I’m calling no fewer than four goals in OT.

That explains it!
And that sound you just heard after Pierre’s comment about rather having Miller than Milbury is Crunchy’s frantic Googling of “restraining order.”

Duncan Keith is just counting the days until he becomes a Dallas Star.

I’m not saying he doesn’t have a big job of counting ahead of him. :P

That game sucked! Stupid hockey!
Too much action! Where’s the positional defense?
Yeah, I was disgusted by the lack of sound defensive positioning in this game. I don’t watch hockey to see crooked numbers on the scoreboard!
A good hockey score is like a computer, 1′s and 0′s only.
I’m watching Madden get interviewed by that Debra (?) girl (I forget her name, but I do like her a lot) and she said blah blah blah what do you make of that? And I SO wanted Madden to say, “Oh, a hat… or a brooch!”

You guys, I just totally used the word Vajazzling in a presentation.
Wow Mags, I don’t care how you managed that, but that’s just awesome!
Hey I’m back to Paris… I’m tired and sad I left Canada, but I brought back lots of nice memories, plus a Josh Gorges shirt! Woohoo!
Mags, you are my hero! What was the context for this vajazzling?
And Grrrreg, welcome home! I’m so glad you had such a great trip, and I’m sorry it had to come to an end.
Also sad that it’s coming to an end? My vacation. I have to savor ever second of holiday today!
I don’t care how you managed that
What was the context for this vajazzling?
The “Oh! Shiny!” factor that attracts people to things, regardless of their actual merit :D
Grrreg, welcome back in Europe! And now that you’re back, I’m (supposed to be, provided US immigrations lets me in, which they may not because I didn’t my info in 72hrs in advance of my flight) going to Philly on Wednesday to see the SCF!
The “Oh! Shiny!” factor that attracts people to things, regardless of their actual merit
HAHAHAHAHAHA! Nice!
And even nicer? Going to the SCF! WOW! That’ll be so much fun!!!
By the way, we’re very close to Philly, so if you have some free time during your visit, you should drop on by! :D
Good morning guys! My, what big curly horns Zubrus has! Who new.
Also, Stupid Blackhawks.
It is kind of surprising what resplendent horns Zubrus has. There’s a reason the Devils paid so much to sign him. You never know when a bighorn sheep headbutting contest is going to break out during a hockey game!
Going to the SCF! WOW! That’ll be so much fun!!!
I hope so! But mostly I’m hoping I don’t get to the airport on Wednesday morning, only to not be allowed on the plane. The only reason I didn’t get my info in on time was because the fscking airline’s website was down. So that would suck hardcore.
D said he’d drive me around wherever I wanted to go on Thursday. I wonder if he’d take me to New Jersey…
Then again, if it doesn’t work out, I’m probably flying out again on July 2nd. No SCF, but whatever. Holidays. 4th of July. Summer on the East Coast. It’ll be awesome.
My, what big curly horns Zubrus has!
I swear I need new glasses. I read that as “what big curly hairs Zubrus has” and did a spit-take.
STUPID TAGS!

Also, Stupid Blackhawks.
I never thought I’d say this because I love the band, but I’m so tired of their goal song that I can’t listen to the CD it’s on anymore. Stupid Hawks, ruining perfectly good music.
And, you know, stupid Blackhawks.
Wow, you’re having quite the East Coast summer, aren’t you, Mags? Sounds great! I hope our paths can cross at some point! :D
And I also originally thought Carol was remarking on Zubrus’s big, curly hairs. Reading comprehension is not great. :P
I have to be honest — I’ve never liked the Blackhawks’ goal song. In its goal-scoring context or on its own. Heh.
I’m (…) going to Philly on Wednesday to see the SCF!
What???? This is amazing! I really hope they let you in! (and by that I mean I hope the immigration lets you in the country, the Flyers let you in their arena, and the Ookies let you in the IPB headquarters :P)
Are you going specifically for the game, or are you doing something else there? In any case, take tons of pics. The ones you took in Germany were great.
I have also really disliked the Chicago goal song this whole time. I’m glad I’m not alone!
the Chicago goal song
So last year. I’m over it.
I hope our paths can cross at some point!
I’m so glad you said that :D When I figured I’d go East Coast trolling this summer I thought about asking you if I could drop by, but I sort of never got around to it. So consider this my request for permission to visit IPB Manor.
the Flyers let you in their arena
Yeah, that’d be nice. I might not get in on account of my bleeding red/white/black, but who knows?
Are you going specifically for the game, or are you doing something else there?
Well, I was invited in a general “Mags, sweetie, you need a break” kind of way, but *I* am in it for the game :D And I’m not sure I’m allowed to bring the biggy zoom lens into the Wachovia. No idea what the rules are. But I’ll try!

Sounds great! It’s sort of crazy to think that we’ve been friends for three years (!!!) and haven’t met yet! :D
Yeah that whole “giant body of water” thing between us really gets in the way. Stupid water. I bet it’s in league with the Blackhawks.
Stupid Hawks, ruining perfectly good music.
It was ruined for me when the few Blackhawks fans I follow on Twitter started yelping “Chelsea, Chelsea, I believe” after every goal.
And I hope everyone is enjoying a gorgeous day today.
That song is about rampant drug use! Stupid Hawks. Don’t you know what you’re saying about yourselves?
I would love to do a trip where I just visit hockey friends. I could go pretty far. Tampa, NJ, Buffalo, Toronto, San Jose, Montreal, Spokane…
Hi IPB! Hope no one has a case of the Mondays.
We have had a very eventful, scary, exciting day today. There’s a new post up all about it! :P
