Good grief! It’s crazy late and the Devils haven’t even started yet? What is wrong with these West Coast games? This is a preposterous start time. We doubt our ability to stay up for the whole game, but please do join us for as much open thread as a late, late game can handle.

I’d suggest watching the Habs/Isles game until then, but I know how well that would go over…
Hope the Devils are well prepared!

::contemplates the possibility that the Devils will appear in any way, shape, or form “well prepared”:: HAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Sigh. Yeah. That was amusing. :P

:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::: We’re watching Kings/Hawks while I’m sitting here wondering how I was ever energetic enough to watch west-coast games. I’m like, “I had dinner at 4:30 and enjoyed a double-header of Matlock afterwards. I’m pooped!”

REALLY glad our Captain skipped the optional team skate this morning. Leadership, ladies and gentlemen!
10:15? Who do your father and uncle think they are? TEENAGERS?
They were probably up late playing their Nintendo 64.
It hasn’t even started?! It’s almost my bedtime!
Why does Toews suck now that he’s on my Fantasy team? He’s got a silent E in his name, so he belongs with me, but he’s just begging to be dropped.
Waaaait… Oh snap. That stupid video curse!! Dammit!!
It hasn’t even started?! It’s almost my bedtime!
You’re telling me!
They were probably up late playing their Nintendo 64.
Those whippersnappers! Next thing you’ll tell me is they’ll be swallowing goldfish and sitting on flagpoles! Kids these days.

:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: I love that taken out of context. It sounds so wonderfully obsessive. (And when you say “video curse” you mean his starring role in Dr. Quinn, right?)
Ugh. Looks like the game is blacked out here. Funfetti. Looks like I’m streaming illegally tonight.
Leadership, ladies and gentlemen!
Maybe this is the season he’ll finally get stripped of his C?

You don’t see Zack from My Two Dads doing very well now do you?

:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: To both of you. Such unreasonable statements — that Langer demonstrates great leadership, and that anyone would do anything about it. Heh.
And Gunner, that’s awful that you’re getting blacked out! Although if this goes as badly as I expect it to, maybe it’s a mercy black-out?
Heh. Turco is improving my goalie stats. It’s funny how not funny that is.
Heh. Turco is so “McGuggs, eat your words!” with this game.
Chico’s promising “new wrinkles” in the PP? Great! I bet Johnny Mac’s big new wrinkle is to play 5 d-men instead of 5 forwards.
Chico: “And this penalty is on the Sharks, which is great news for the Devils!”
Me: “GREAT! They can give up a SHORT-HANDED goal!”
Chico? There is nothing that’s great news for the Devils right now except for possible trades.

Hello old friends and fellow chuck the duck makers! I can only hope my return to the blogosphere will bring good tidings to the Devils!
Hey, Jarhead! Welcome back!
So we’re doing some renovations in our basement “den”, which is currently being used essentially as a very, very large mudroom. Our plan for it involves installing a tv and some comfy chairs to make it into a sort of quilting room. Anyway, when were in Dallas we stopped in at a Best Buy to just scope out the TVs, and dude, I can’t BEAR watching our crappy old TV now. It’s KILLING me. (And there is absolutely nothing crappy about it, except that it’s five years old and not as nice as the new ones. :P)
And that’s my story. I’m like, “Why are we watching this game on a Victrola????”
Turco’s pissed that all of you left him on waivers. He’s like “Wait, NO ONE wants ME, but Rick Dipietro is still on a team? He has no bones in his hips! None!!”
(Turco doesn’t know about our WC/EC rules, so that quote is still applicable…)
Jarhead! You’re exactly what this season has been missing! (That, and wins.)
Clarkson is boasting about his new good luck charm for this season??? How much worse do things have to get before he realizes it’s not working?
Chico: “And this penalty is on the Sharks, which is great news for the Devils!”
Me: “GREAT! They can give up a SHORT-HANDED goal!”
The DeadlEEs have some Sharks that could use one…
I mean, uh, I’m sure the Devils will kill that penalty like a mo fo!! Look at the hobo!!
Clarkson; See, the elephant has its truck in the air! That’s good luck!
Pookie: See, the elephant is trying to hang itself with its own trunk! That’s just a smart way to avoid watching this team.
I’m not quite angry enough with this team to fly out west to meet them, so my plan now is to meet their plane when they get back from this trip. And you know what I’m going to do then? I’m going to take Clarkson’s elephant, and I’m going to smash it to smithereens.
See, the elephant is trying to hang itself with its own trunk! That’s just a smart way to avoid watching this team.

I’m switching over to your game just as soon as I can make sure Turco doesn’t eff this up.
Ohhhh, HjamalalahdandPommerkiller got hurt. Poor. Guy.
*cough*asshole*cough*
Mudderfucker.
I’m going to take Clarkson’s elephant, and I’m going to smash it to smithereens.
Oh no! Not Clarkson’s glass menagerie of elephants! (Yes, Clarkson is a delicate Southern flower with issues.)
Poop. A goal. Well at least we don’t have post goal music that is as atrocious as the Sharks. My god, a MIDI version of the “let’s go” chant? oooof. Followed shortly thereafter by the “orchestra hit” sound made so popular in 80′s music
Pookie you crushed me with the elephant joke. I just about had a heart attack from laughing
Evening all, I have news! Bittersweet though it may be.
Dave has been offered a job in Kansas City, MO and is accepting it. It’s for a Swedish company that makes diary equipment and his boss-to-be is Belgian. Seems like a good fit since he used to work for a Belgian company that made auto parts and his boss was Indian. Yeah. My brain is fried.
So what can anyone tell us about Kansas City? I know next to nothing about it.
Poop another goal.
Fuck. This. Shit.
Looks like you could use a distraction from the…um…Devils “game”.
So what can anyone tell us about Kansas City? I know next to nothing about it.
The have good Bar-b-que, I think? Congrats to Dave on the job!! I’m sorry it’s all the way over there though. (I’m looking at an atlas right now)
So is this what it feels like to be an Islanders fan? I never truly understood their pain until now.
Well at least we don’t have post goal music that is as atrocious as the Sharks.
Yeah! That’s making me feel WAY better. TAKE THAT, SHARKS!
Myra, that’s wonderful news for Dave! Hearty congratulations on the new job! I’m so sorry that it’s not nearby, though. I’m under the impression that Kansas City is a great place to live, though. I know it’s an amazing sports town… And yeah! Barbecue! It’s got that, too!
CONGRATULATIONS, DAVE!!! I’m sorry it means you guys have to move, but I think Kansas City is suppose to be a nice place to live.
Congrats, Dave & Myra! I’m sorry you’ll have to move though :/
Joe Pavelski has a kid? The eff? What’s with all these hockey boys being in such a rush to do stuff like full-fledged adults?
Kansas City has over 200 fountains and is known as the “City of Fountains” AND has more boulevards than any city other than Paris, so it’s also known as “the Paris of the Plains”. Or so says Wikipedia. Who wouldn’t want to live there??
Here’s a link to Chowhound’s message board about restaurants in Kansas City: LINK TO CHOWHOUND.
At some point this team is going to play well, string together some wins and look frisky. But I doubt that it will ever be likeable. Not unless a lot of old farts get pink slips and they give the kids a chance.
Who wouldn’t want to live there??
Anyone who read What’s the Matter with Kansas?
I looked Kansas City up on Flickr and this was the first picture I saw: PICTURE. I think Kansas City looks awesome.
Not unless a lot of old farts get pink slips and they give the kids a chance.
I agree wholeheartedly.
How in the FUCK is that not goaltender interference?!
Come on, doesn’t the thornton line want to share with the rest of the class?
Ohhh. Tallinder let two guys jump in the crease with Marty. He learned that move with the Sabres. We let guys do that all the time to Miller.
But I doubt that it will ever be likeable. Not unless a lot of old farts get pink slips and they give the kids a chance.
I completely agree. I’m hoping this season is going to follow the same blueprint as that disastrous Flyers one a few years ago. Where they fire the coach and GM after a staggeringly bad start, then ship out all the old guys for ridiculously excellent youngsters, get a top-two draft pick, and then go to the at least the ECF in two of the next three years.
Guys, I think we need to kidnap one of Scott Stevens’s kids and hold them hostage until he either a) agrees to coach team, b) agrees to suit back up, or c) cuts a bitch.

You are not fucking around.
If you read the book you learn that a lot of what’s the matter wwith KS is in fact the KC suburbs. And they’re basically the same city, geographically
Hmm. My enthusiasm towards this game is quickly waning. Anyone going to the game on the 5th?
It’s not even Halloween. I can’t believe it’s the Christmas Spectacular already.
My enthusiasm for this game + being at work at 8:30 tomorrow + having to pull over twice for catnaps on my drive home today = me signing off now. Enjoy the rest of the game, suckers! Heh heh heh.
Congratulations again, Dave!
Goodnight, everyone!

Okay! I’ll take your word for it! (Again, I got to the weather section of the wikipedia entry and decided I’d read enough about Kansas City. :P)
Hmm. My enthusiasm towards this game is quickly waning.
And how. They’re not even all that interestingly bad, either. It just… suck. (And sorry, no, we’re not going to the game on the 5th.)
G’night pookie, your the smartest of all of us….
Goodnight Pookie!
It’s not even Halloween. I can’t believe it’s the Christmas Spectacular already.
Heh heh. I was waiting for it, because we documented when we saw our first commercial for it last year. It was October 11. It’s NEVER too early. :P
There!! A Boomer and Carton commercial!!! That one was abbreviated with no loud noises though.
DAMMIT! We had the sound off!
Wait, Johnny Mac wasn’t fired during intermission?
There’s actually an NFL columnist who documents Christmas Creep and the Unified Theory of Creep in his weekly column. Greg Easterbrook’s TMQ on ESPN.
Good night, Pookie! Thanks for the links. I love the Pig Bus! And pulled pork, just sayin.
That weather does not sound too fun, like Dallas’s with more extreme’s. Yeesh. Maybe our allergies will be better?
Sorry about the Devils, I strongly suspect it has something to do with Marty being an Ice Troll.
Im busting out the scotch, I need something to numb the pain :(
Wooooohooooooooo!!!!!!!
There’s actually an NFL columnist who documents Christmas Creep and the Unified Theory of Creep in his weekly column.
I used to get myself into a TMQ-induced het about Christmas Creep, and then one day I was like, “What the hell? I love Christmas! I don’t mind having Christmas in October!” Heh. I’m shameless, though.

Good grief. Did the Devils just score a goal IN THE SECOND PERIOD? From Clarkson??? ::rubs eyes in disbelief:: Santa? Is that you?
ZZ CLARK LINE = INSTANT GOAL! WHY DON’T THEY LISTEN TO ME?!

I would actually argue that it is, in fact, too early.

I’m nominating you to coach the team when Johnny Mac finally gets the ax.
See as a child of of divorced parents, I hate holiday creep. It just made the bickering start earlier every year.
Maybe Jarhead’s scotch caused a turn-around.
Uh-oh. Now you have to say nice things about the elephant.

NEVER! I’m giving all the credit to Jarhead’s scotch.
There’s some creepy baseball related non-banter going on in the Sharks broadcast:
PbP: They play again tomorrow. We could watch that game. You want to get together?
Color: No. Not really.
PbP: …Just trying to be a good partner… in case you didn’t have anywhere to go… because there’s plenty of room at our place….
Color: …

I used to work in retail when we’d get Christmas stuff in August. So the Holidays felts like they were 5 months long! Now, Christmas means finals, so I like to prolong it as much as possible.
The color guy also described that Shark taking a penalty by saying he “gets a deuce.”
I don’t think this man ever went to college. Or talked to a frat bro. Or watched a comedy made after 1984.
Gunner, :^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Wait, did Travis just get hurt in a three-man collision of Devils on the PP? ::headdesk::
By “prolong it” I believe I meant “put it off”. In my head I was thinking prolong autumn. It made sense to me, I swear!
Man, that was JUST the too many men penalty I was hoping to see the Devils take to negate a PP.

So while he’s in the sin bin, is he taking a deuce?
Watching the Sharks broadcast team is like watching a Christopher Guest movie.

They did the jaws hands then, and I mocked them mercilessly for it. Despite their highly effective PP now, I feel grandfathered into making fun of it. :P)
I love Chico complaining that the fluke Sharks goal is an OUTRAGE whereas the fluke Devils goal was just part of hockey.
That was rough.
Dear Devils,
Just because I’m still sitting up doesn’t mean I’m sitting up for you. I have two more three-inch seams to sew, and I won’t go to bed until they’re done, but that’s the ONLY reason I’m still sitting in front of your game right now. Don’t be getting some sort of big ideas about this.
Not paying attention anymore because you guys are HORRIBLE,
Schnookie

Facepalm defined. It’s better than this hockey game :(
Ooohhh. Clow-E getting some penalty minutes!
I love Chico complaining that the fluke Sharks goal is an OUTRAGE whereas the fluke Devils goal was just part of hockey.
I was reading a bunch of Habs blogs complaining that the Leafs got away with murder last night… which they did. But so did the Panthers. And the Leafs fans/announcers were the first to admit that one of their goals clearly should have been taken away. Everyone is victim of flukes/no calls/unfair calls/etc so I wish announcers and fans would realize it’s not a personal attack on a team. Except the Red Wings. There’s a conspiracy against them obviously.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yeah, I think we need something even more evocative than just facepalm. I mean, the Devils have really moved beyond that, haven’t they?
I wish announcers and fans would realize it’s not a personal attack on a team. Except the Red Wings. There’s a conspiracy against them obviously.
Exactly. Especially the part about the Wings.
Thanks god i have people to vent with about this awfulness. My girlfriend is a rags fan so i get no pity there….
Also, what I love about Chico having kittens about that fourth Sharks goal is that it almost sounds like he thinks if he just whips up enough outrage at the Sharks’ grounds crew, we’ll all forget to be pissed at the Devils.
My girlfriend is a rags fan so i get no pity there….
Ack! That’s terrible! I suppose she’s enjoying this, eh? Well, at least we all know what’s going to happen to the Rangers — they’ll come up juuuuuust short at the end of the year. Mmm… Just thinking about it now is making me feel better about the Devils. Oh, schadenfreude, you’re the only thing I have left to cling to.
Hmmm getting quiet. Looks like te crew is falling off. A smart move methinks
I’ve muted the game and fired up an episode of Jonathan Creek.
Also, what I love about Chico having kittens about that fourth Sharks goal is that it almost sounds like he thinks if he just whips up enough outrage at the Sharks’ grounds crew, we’ll all forget to be pissed at the Devils.
I’m picturing the Sharks crew with confused looks on their faces going “Seriously? This is our fault?”
The Rangers have Avery. Somehow that seems punishment enough.
I just fell down an interwebs rabbit hole, even though I finished my stitching assignment twenty minutes ago. I think it’s time to go to bed.
Wait — did Doc just mention Bryan Trottier? That’s so funny, because I’ve been making a mental comparison between this year’s Devils and the Trottier-coached Rangers all day!
Anyway, g’night, everyone.
Hi there!
Myra, I’m really glad for you and Dave. I hope you’ll love Kansas city. Maybe you’ll start following the MISSOURI MAVERICKS of the CHL soon! (They even picked the name of the Dallas basketball team to make you feel at home!)
Devils fans, I don’t even know what to say. Maybe MacLean decided to change the Devils approach and forced them to suck earlier this season instead of sucking in march and in the first round. Maybe they’re getting all the suck out of their system right now?
Maybe they’re getting all the suck out of their system right now?
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Thanks, Grrrreg. I appreciate that! At the VERY worst, all this sucking now will make me much less likely to become depressed when they suck in March, because I’ll be so used to it by then! :P
Congrats to Dave on the new job, Myra. I’m sure you guys will grow to love Kansas City.
I’m pretty sure that armageddon is happening here today. The sky is so dark and dreary and it’s so windy that I’m waiting for Dorothy and Toto to fly past the window. I was dodging flying political signs and plywood on my way in to the salt mines this morning.
And that’s my story.
Whoa, Amy, be careful out there! I thought the armageddon was that big storm we were all supposed to get on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning (that was not very armageddon-y here) — you’re getting another one?
Good morning gang. How about that game last night huh?! Woo!…Anyone?…okay then.
Myra, congrats on the new job for Dave! Bummer about the move though. Hope KC works out well for you guys.
So Fire & Ice just said something about Pandolfo still trying to get a tryout with an NHL team. Coincidence that the Devils now suck without him? Of course not!
And that game was so brutal last night that I started cheering myself up by checking airplane prices for fun trips I want to take while the third period was going. And for the record, I did not make any reservations to watch the Devils first two playoff games in April like I was thinking about. Genius = me!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That’s some good thinking there, Mike!
As for Pando, I’ll be very sad if someone else picks him up. I’d have loved for him to go out on his own terms as a career Devil, but if I can’t have it that way, let’s at least have him go out with a whimper, involuntarily, as a career Devil. (I’m very selfish, but that’s tough. Pando needs to take the bad with the good. :P)
andrew, I wanted to say thanks for the offer to trade a goalie to me so I’d make my starting stats for the week! I didn’t have the interwebs, then, though, so I’ll say it now. Thanks for trying to trade with me! Unfortunately, Farts is an untouchable on the Peepsoxers, so no trade. I ended up not making my required starts. :( That rule is stupid, man! There are no starting goalies! It’s like all the teams in the EC don’t skate goalies or something!
I’m sure it was fun for you! Heh. Sigh.
It was cool. I still don’t know what to think of the Sharks this year. It’s like watching 2 different teams. I don’t know what to expect on any given night. Pretty much exaxctly the same as the Sabres.
I wanted to say thanks for the offer to trade a goalie to me so I’d make my starting stats for the week!
No problem! Just looking out for other Irregulars! Also, looking out for opportunity, always. hehe.
Unfortunately, Farts is an untouchable on the Peepsoxers, so no trade.
That’s certainly understandable. Never hurts to ask though. Feel free to send me an offer! I love trading!
It’s like all the teams in the EC don’t skate goalies or something!
15 teams, no goalies! It’s rediculous! It could be worse, you could be starting the incredible tandem of Marty and Lundqvist every night. Yeah, I get my starts…that’s about it. .850 save % isn’t going to win me any championships, that’s for damn sure.
you’re getting another one?
It’s not so much a storm as it is a cold front moving in and wreaking havoc. Sky is still dark and dreary and it’s very windy. I love this time of year.
And do the Devils need to start taking calcium supplements, what with another Devil breaking his hand?
It could be worse, you could be starting the incredible tandem of Marty and Lundqvist every night.
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Yeah, I was going to complain that SOMEONE is hogging all the starting goalies in the EC, but then I was like, “Well, I’d rather have no stats at all than Marty’s stats.” It’s funny in fantasy hockey, but depressing in real life. :P
It’s like watching 2 different teams. I don’t know what to expect on any given night.
Now there’s a silver lining to the Devils’ season so far — I am never unsure of what’s going to happen when they take the ice.
Sky is still dark and dreary and it’s very windy. I love this time of year.
Ooooh, I love that! Tuesday evening was really weirdly warm and overcast and had that ominous “something weather-ish is going to happen soon” feeling in the air… and when I got home from the grocery store there was a bat wheeling around overhead. It was like “spoooooky and Halloweeny!” overload. :D
And which Devil broke his hand??

Corrente.
Oh, just Corrente? Huh. I won’t miss him. (Of course, at the rate the team’s going, there isn’t ANYONE I’d miss from that roster.) :P

Ha! My thoughts exactly. And yeah, I tend to agree, funny in fantasy hockey, not so much in real hockey. Tough year to be a Devils fan…so far anyway.
I almost had my dinner blow away in the Wegmans parking lot on Tuesday night.
Not cool. We had crazy rain this weekend. Not anymore, now it just keeps looking like it’s coming.
I think it’s about time to get out to the garden and yank out all of the basil. Otherwise the rain is gonna ruin it.
Tough year to be a Devils fan…so far anyway.
I’m hoping this’ll be the year that everyone in the organization finally admits that they’re not the Red Wings, and need to move on from the glory days. That’s not to say that I don’t think they can reinvent themselves into something great, but man, they really can’t go on pretending it’s still the Scott Stevens era.
And you still have basil? That’s so cute! :P (We’re planting garlic this weekend. Which, um, means that I guess we’re clearing out the beds that are all overgrown with rotting chard…)
I’m hoping this’ll be the year that everyone in the organization finally admits that they’re not the Red Wings, and need to move on from the glory days.
What then does that mean for Marty? Do you think the team starts to look at moving on without him? I know that’s almost unthinkable, but drastic times and all that.
And you still have basil? That’s so cute!
And tomatoes! Everything else is gone though. I’m a little ticked because I lost all of my peppers and zuchinni early due to a critter of some sort. i tried flooding out its little tunnels, but to no avail. I’m just glad it doesn’t seem to want to eat basil or tomato.
Garlic! Yum. I need to build another bed so I can do some year-round planting like you guys do.
And which Devil broke his hand??
Corrente.
Doh, I was so hoping for Tallinder.
What then does that mean for Marty? Do you think the team starts to look at moving on without him? I know that’s almost unthinkable, but drastic times and all that.
The Devils’ only hope of moving on without Marty would be for this season to go so bad that he retires, since the team has time and again shown that it will not tell him something as simple as “Hey maybe you shouldn’t start 75 games a year!” Marty is the boss and will determine when/how he leaves. I bet anyone here a beer that he will start both back to back games this weekend in LA.
I need to build another bed so I can do some year-round planting like you guys do.
Right! You, too, need to be able to garden in the snow! (Wait, what’s that? No snow in CA? Rats!) Seriously though, sorry about the critter! I’d be hella pissed if something had gotten to our peppers.
Doh, I was so hoping for Tallinder.

Ha! Not with JOHN MACLEAN in town! MacLean only obeys to his own rules. He benched CHUCKLES just because he felt like it, for christ’s sake! He can do anything. He can order Marty to play on the left wing for a game if he wants to…

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: I’d love to see that. I am beginning to suspect that Chuckles has been brought in just to be a decoy for coaches who want to prove who the new sheriff is in town. They can make a big show of how “in charge” they are by benching the “big star” Chuckles, but really it’s still Marty calling the shots. It’s just a face-saver for the coach to not have to publicly get shot down when attempting to assert his authority over Marty.
