1-2-3 Hockey: 44 of 45
Today was the perfect comp day — it was rainy all day and I’m still getting over an awful cold (which I’ve oh so nicely passed along to everyone else in the house) so I could justify spending the afternoon lounging in bed reading a good book. Rollie curled up next to me and then looked annoyed when I finally had to get up and do something productive with my evening. — Pk.
AND NOW! MORE HOCKEY CONTENT!
As Devils fans we have long felt that while other teams’ fans got treated by their GMs to all the choicest free-agentmeats, our GM was always shopping the day-old sushi counter at the cut-rate free-agentmeats market. Until this summer, that is. Jason Arnott aside, look where Lou’s shopping now!
Of course, fancy groceries are awfully expensive, so Lou’s had to rename his operation now. Check out the new signage in his office:
Thanks to the Iron Boar’s convenient concussion, the fixin’s sale has become a bit less urgent, but still — other GMs around the league, there are some fine, fine fixin’s available in New Jersey. Operators are standing by.
i assume you are suggesting that lou’s store is now the wholefoods or wegmans of the league and is no longer the walmart…lol
come to think of it, instead of trader joe’s, maybe it can be called trader lou’s…lol
I forgot to say, it was my 22nd. It was good, nothing exciting. Got a nice lunch at work, then mum made an orgasmic filet mignon with gratin potatoes. My best friend came over with lots of beer and we played playstation.

Tim, beer and playstation sounds like the perfect birthday to me!
Good morning! It was an excellent birthday, especially when I found out I won’t be missing the Devils opening game! I thought it was on Thursday.
I really want to know what sort of FANCY GROCERIES I can get for free, shame that’s blocked off.

They have gone beyond “Wholepaycheck” to “WholeSalarycap” (and more! you should see what you can buy if you structure your seasonal specials correctly!!)
Happy Birthday Tim! October babies are the best! It’s a proven scientific fact!
Ahhh 22, I remember it fondly…I started grad school that year. I’m still in grad school, and I’m going to be 28 on the 11th.
Let’s see at 22, I was out of college and looking for my first job. So young and innocent. Little did I know what a soul crushing experience life had in store for me. Happy Birthday, Tim!
When I was 22 I was working at my first job out of college and starting to work very long hours for relatively little money. I didn’t realize it was going to be like that forever (except when I have been unemployed).
At 22, I… well I’m still 22 so I suppose I can’t really reminisce. I can tell you that right now I am so sick that it is properly comical. Everyone ought to be this sick at some point in their lives. Or find some other excuse to get away with sleeping all day and being a huge grump whenever you’re awake.
Oh Mags, feel better!
Or find some other excuse to get away with sleeping all day and being a huge grump whenever you’re awake.
My excuse is the aforementioned grad school.
My excuse is the aforementioned grad school.
I think I’ll take being sick. The condition is likely not as lasting as grad school.
At 22 I’m working a non-stressful part-time job for decent money, but not enough to move out of my mom’s basement.
Feel better Mags.
So 22 is the magic number, eh? Hmmm…I was 3 months away from college graduation when I turned 22. So I’m gonna go out on a limb and say I was probably drinking beers, playing Playstation.
Good morning, everyone!
I can’t remember what I was doing at 22, but I suspect I liked it. It wasn’t until I turned 25 that my life hit the “examine where you’re at and commence with the angst at what an abject failure you are” stage. No, the more I think about it, the more I feel that 22 is a GREAT time! (Especially if there’s filet mignon, potato gratin, beer and playstation. Sounds like a great way to celebrate, Tim.)
And Mags, I’m so sorry you’re apocalyptically sick! I, too, am sick (as is Pookie, as is Boomer — that was a hell of a cold that Pookie brought home from work), but just enough to call out of work, but not so much that I feel like I’d rather just die. I can only wish you an upgrade to feeling like this, Mags. :P
It wasn’t until I turned 25 that my life hit the “examine where you’re at and commence with the angst at what an abject failure you are” stage.
That is way too young to start looking at your life with regret and/or angst! I think I’m gonna wait until I’m 40, make it an epic event y’know?
I think I’m gonna wait until I’m 40, make it an epic event y’know?
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Well, I was a pretty epic failure at 25. It was nice to take care of the angst and despair at a young age, which meant turning 30 was nothing but delightful. I’d gotten all the bad stuff out of the way early, you know? :P
Mine was at 26, which did make turning 30 and then 40 a breeze. I’m not so sure about 50.
Speaking of 50. Guess who is turning 50 on Saturday???
(And it is not me or Boomer, so that leaves you with only one other guess.)
Actually, he doesn’t look it at all and everyone always thinks I’m older than him.
Ok. Now I’m depressed.
Speaking of 50. Guess who is turning 50 on Saturday???
Ooooh! Happy birthday (on Saturday) Hub!! Do you guys have big plans?
(And unless he’s changed A LOT since I last saw you two, I have to agree that he doesn’t look anything close to 50. Not that you do either, Myra!)
Mine was at 26, which did make turning 30 and then 40 a breeze.
That’s great to hear that 40′s going to be a breeze, too. :D It’s also good to hear that I’m not the only one who bottomed out in the mid-20s. :P

I turn 29 in two weeks and I’m starting to have that bummed feeling. I look at my Facebook friends who are all married and on their second, third, fourth child and I’m like “huh.” I’m just getting an apartment, still working at my first employer after college (which is not a bad thing these days) and still living in Buffalo. It’s like the only difference between young me and old me is age and a blog.
And apropos of nothing, the Canucks traded a live hockey player for Andrew Peters. Should we be checking on Alix? It’s been a rough week for her Canucks faves.
Happy Birthday Dave! For your 50th birthday I might let your fantasy team beat mine when we go head to head. But probably not.
I’d gotten all the bad stuff out of the way early, you know?
I guess there’s certainly something to be said for that.
I suppose I lucked out. I had a fairly breezy decade. Screwed around and had fun for the first four years, worked hard but made a shit-ton of money for the next four…then yeah, the last two weren’t anything special, as we just sort of settled down, but they weren’t bad per se.
I look at my Facebook friends who are all married and on their second, third, fourth child and I’m like “huh.”
Don’t let that bother you Amy! I thank god that I waited to have a kid. Twenty-something me was an idiot. Thirty-something me is slightly less of an idiot. Waiting for marraige and kids isn’t always a bad thing.
It’s like the only difference between young me and old me is age and a blog.
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Maybe you shouldn’t be bummed — perhaps young you already had it all figured out?
andrew, you have had a breezy decade! Like Amy, you had it all figured out, too. Heh. I’d say I’m jealous of you guys, but, well, I think I snapped out of my doldrums pretty effectively. :D
the Canucks traded a live hockey player for Andrew Peters.
WHAT???? Why would someone do that??
I look at my Facebook friends who are all married and on their second, third, fourth child and I’m like “huh.”
I’m with andrew, waiting until you are older to get married and have children is not a bad thing at all.
Just wait until you are my age and all those friends are grandparents and on their second, third, fourth marriage/divorce. And you are not.
(Did that sound vindicitive?) :)
that was a hell of a cold that Pookie brought home from work
Oof. I’ve heard that the library is FULL of germs! Full I tell you! FULL!
the Canucks traded a live hockey player for Andrew Peters.
WHAT? They traded Darcy Hordichuk for Andrew Peters? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I loved Darcy H – he’s a real scrapper. Andrew Peters must be cheap as borscht then. I heard the Canucks are all tapped out due to the salary cap.
Just wait until you are my age and all those friends are grandparents and on their second, third, fourth marriage/divorce. And you are not.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Nice! That’s an awesome way to look at it. :D
WHAT? They traded Darcy Hordichuk for Andrew Peters? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I’d try to say something nice about Peters to help you feel better… but I can’t.
It’s also good to hear that I’m not the only one who bottomed out in the mid-20s.
Nope, 26 was balls. Major balls. I hit my stride again at 28 and my 30th birthday was awesome. Thirties really are the new 20′s. (Well so far anyways. I’m still a year into it…)
Happy birthday Dave and Tim!
Tomorrow night starts hockey!
I’d try to say something nice about Peters to help you feel better… but I can’t.
He’s a nice guy and an active participant in the community. :P Just don’t count on him for scoring… or winning fights… or skating backwards… or putting his jersey on right side in.
Thirties really are the new 20′s. (Well so far anyways. I’m still a year into it…)
They are! I’m creeping up on halfway through my 30′s, and I have to say, I’ve loved almost every day of them. I think I’m even less of a grown-up now than I was in my 20′s.
Tomorrow night starts hockey!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Last night felt SO MUCH like midseason hockey that it was stunning that there wasn’t any on the TV. We just kept remarking on how odd it was for there not to be any games on. It was in the low 50′s and had been raining all day and we had takeout Chinese for dinner because all of us are sick, and it was just the perfect day to be half-watching some random, like, Hawks/Avs game. But after tomorrow? We’ll ALWAYS have some random game on! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Just don’t count on him for scoring… or winning fights… or skating backwards… or putting his jersey on right side in.
Ha! You just described him in a nutshell. He can make funny videos with diminutive teammates. Apparently he’s a snazzy dresser too. Too bad he looks like a buff Marilyn Manson, sans makeup of course.
WHAT? They traded Darcy Hordichuk for Andrew Peters? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Amazing. I wonder what Lou had on Gillis. I really don’t understand this one. However, I’m not sure what NJ will do w/Hordichuk since they didn’t have enough cap room to sign Mair and I don’t think getting rid of Peters will resolve that.
Lou, kidnap Garth Snow and Charles Wang, inject them w/Kool-Aid and trade Winky to the Isles. Just get it over with.
So far 40 is a good time. Just in case you’re wondering, Tim.
Sweet Jebus! Hockey tomorrow! Yah! I’d better get Vokoun warmed up for his big debut as the goalie Beards of Bees. Leclaire is warming the bench.
He’s a nice guy and an active participant in the community. :P Just don’t count on him for scoring… or winning fights… or skating backwards… or putting his jersey on right side in.
He sounds perfect for the Beards of Bees. Oh well, Bieksa can hang out with Andrews and they can figure out how to put their shirts on right side out together. All the while, Kesler can tell them “Let’s get it ON!”.
Man, I never get tired of remembering how Kesler said, “Let’s get it ON!!” the other day.
Although, you may be tired of it already.
Sweet Jebus! Hockey tomorrow!
YAY! Wooooo!!
Although neither the Sharks nor the Sabres are playing tomorrow. So I will party substantially less hard than I normally would on opening night.
Apparently he’s a snazzy dresser too. Too bad he looks like a buff Marilyn Manson, sans makeup of course.
Andrews is fast becoming my favourite Canuck with all these rave reviews. I can’t wait to run into him in the street.
Man, I never get tired of remembering how Kesler said, “Let’s get it ON!!” the other day.
I love how much this has delighted you! The beginning of the hockey season is so great that way, how we can all be so satisfied with the tiniest things. It’s such a long way to April, when we all get so cranky. (Like the way I’m generalizing here? By “we” I mean “me”, of course. :P)
Too bad he looks like a buff Marilyn Manson, sans makeup of course.
That is disturbingly accurate!
Just wait until you are my age and all those friends are grandparents and on their second, third, fourth marriage/divorce. And you are not.
I already have 3 divorced friends and a single dad who’s ex-wife just can’t stop those DWIs. So yeah, I’m holding off.
That being said, my reunion is coming up in June and it would be nice to be married to Bradley Cooper by then.
It’s such a long way to April, when we all get so cranky.
Or just plain burnt out. Aside from the weather April is a wretched month, isn’t it?
I’m taking a 4 month leave of absence from work in January, I cannot freaking wait to sit at home, eating bonbons, watching hockey with the boy.
I already have 3 divorced friends and a single dad who’s ex-wife just can’t stop those DWIs. So yeah, I’m holding off.
Yeah, my wife’s sister is 28. Divorced with two kids, from two different guys. Love may be blind, but sometimes it’s dumb too.
That being said, my reunion is coming up in June and it would be nice to be married to Bradley Cooper by then.
I said the exact same thing at my 15 year. Bradley’s afraid of commitment. Tease.

Sorry, those early reunions are brutal. The later ones, not so much for yourself but really sad hearing the stories about the ones who have really had it rough.
Soooo, basically I’m saying those class reunions are depressing no matter what age. Although my parents really enjoyed their later ones. I guess by then you are just happy to still be alive.
I can’t believe hockey is almost here. It’s been such a long time. (To quote my favorite, Boston.)
Did that sound vindicitive
Nope, not at all.
And wheeeeee!! (to quote Maxwell the Geico pig) there’s hockey starting tomorrow!
Sorry, those early reunions are brutal.
Haha..my brother and sister go to theirs. I still haven’t been to one. Not out of misplaced anger or whatever, but mostly because we just don’t care. I still keep in contact with the important people that I knew high school: My wife, and one or two close friends.
It’s such a long way to April, when we all get so cranky.
It’s because by April, Kevin Sylvestor is telling me the mathmatical probabilities for the Sabres to make it into the playoffs. Or for them to get taken out in the first round by the Broons. Math is Hard.
Bradley’s afraid of commitment. Tease.
That made me belly laugh for a good minute.
It’s because by April, Kevin Sylvestor is telling me the mathmatical probabilities for the Sabres to make it into the playoffs.
Oh Kevin. I love the Sabres broadcasts.
I can’t wait for Friday. I bought some Yancey’s Fancy the other day in preparation. I already ate it.

I think Facebook has substituted reunions for me. And you’ve known your wife since HS? In all seriousness, that’s incredibly sweet.
Wait, andrew, you’re taking a four month leave? That sounds HEAVENLY! I hope you can eat some bon-bons for me. Or pour some out on the ground, or whatever it is you’re supposed to do in bon-bon tribute. (I have a coworker who is also taking a lengthy “sit at home eating bon-bons and watching sports with the new kid” paternity leave, and frankly, that just sounds SO civilized.)
And as for class reunions, fuck ‘em. I live 10 minutes from my old high school and I can’t be bothered to attend them. Last year was my 15th, too, so my class was included in the big “milestone anniversary” shindig, but I just sat at home ignoring the playoffs. It seemed a far better thing to do with my time. (We get regular alumni report things from our school, and it never fails to crack me up that all the other classes have at least meager updates [you know, shit like, "Carly McBlahdiblah from Class of '92 reports she just became CEO of Fancypants brokerage and her twins have started kindergarten"] but my class never gets any reports from anybody. We’re all such sentimental fools. [But seriously, what would I report? "Schnookie, Class of '94, reports that she's still slumming it as a secretary, one of her cats has patchy fur problems that the vet can't figure out, and another is going through a troublemaker phase. She lives just around the corner from the house she was in when we were all in high school so she's easy to find, but you know what? If she wanted to talk to any of you losers, she would have stayed in touch with you then."])

Same here. My class didn’t even have a 10th reunion. Then someone tried to organize a lunch reunion on a random Tuesday and most of us were like “hello, job here!” so that fizzled out.
Schnookie, that bio was amazing. I find my college & hs alumni newsletters are good for the occasional “you named your child WHAT?” exclamation from me, as some pour soul has named their child Boobs McGee.

They tried to schedule mine during Thanksgiving weekend under the assumption that we’d all be home for the holidays. Which is true. But I’m home to see the side of my family that comes to Rochester once a year. Not that football player that sat next to me in every class for 3 years in a row.

My parents still live in the town we grew up in but my brother and I both moved away. I go back 3-4 times a year and although I’m told plenty of people I went to school with still live there, I never run into any of them. It could be because I don’t bother to try and get in touch and say I’m home. =)

HA! Yeah, seriously. I used to work in a friend’s yarn store when we first moved back here, and I would periodically run into my high school friends’ (read: “acquaintances”. Silly Schnookie! You didn’t HAVE friends in high school! :P) mothers there. I decided for good that I was doing the right thing by not bothering to try to get in touch with any of my old peers when one of the mothers regaled me in detail all about how her daughter — a former friend of mine — had just married our creepy former theater teacher. I had suspected this friend and the teacher were sleeping together when we were still in high school, and finding out they’d gotten married was very disappointing. Who wants to keep in touch with their high school friends if our scandalous pasts have become respectable? Honestly!
It could be because I don’t bother to try and get in touch and say I’m home.
I would say that’s probably why. I do the same thing! When I’m home I sit on the couch at either my parents or Tracie’s parents home, drinking beer, usually watching football…which I do hate, but when in Rome.
Who wants to keep in touch with their high school friends if our scandalous pasts have become respectable?
That is massively disappointing. But still just a bit unsettling.
So, anyone have any good matchups this week? I’m facing the Bobcats and the PreFabs. I’m kicking some ass!
Also, Dallas/NJ on opening night?! WTF? Who made this schedule?
I always run into HS classmates when I’m home. My grandparents bought my dad’s house when they got married, so my dad and I both grew up there and went to the same high school. This is actually quite common in that school district, so my dad and I would compare how his classmates’ kids turned out. My dad and I were basically the same person, both shy, smart(ish), and in marching band. So my favorite was when he asked me about the daughter of one of his best friends and I responded with, “She’s kind of a, uh, whore, and she got an 890 on her SATs. Maybe she’s more like her mom.”
Also, Dallas/NJ on opening night?! WTF? Who made this schedule?
You’re telling me! I’d say it’s good to get it out of the way, but the schedule always seems to include about 15 Devils/Stars matchups, so I figure this is just a warm-up.
As for the marquee AmazingLeague matchup this week, it’s the CymbOranges vs. Eugenia’s Stinky Cheese. It should be a colossal blow-out, with cheese being smashed (musically) EVERYWHERE.
“She’s kind of a, uh, whore, and she got an 890 on her SATs. Maybe she’s more like her mom.”

Not so much after that.
I saw a high school acquaintance on the train station yesterday. I didn’t say hi, because she’s perfect in every way and that’s something I can’t handle.

And I could really do without a Sabres/Sens game to open our season with.

You guys are making me feel old today, I missed my 20th high school reunion a couple of years ago intentionally and my best friend who still lives in the same town had to go since his wife made him. He said it was extremely boring but fun to hear about the misfortunes that had afflicted people we didn’t like or who were jerks to us. I’ll have to watch Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion tonight to remind myself of the great value high school reunions have. Before beer and playstation of course.

Hey! Same here! Heh.
Happy Birthday, Tim! Since we’re sharing, when I was 22, I was working my first “dream” job as a photographer’s assistant/lab tech. I was gonna be a professional photographer someday! An artist! Kinda veered since then. :D
I remember thinking, “If I could someday make a thousand a month, I’d be fine!”
And Happy Birthday to Hub!
Happy birthdays all round!
