Devils vs. Leafs, or: Please Normalize Us, Devils!

November 2, 2011 by Schnookie

Things have been very out-of-sorts at stately IPB Manor lately. We’re all feeling that sort of on-edge glumness that comes with life not being normal. Some of the non-normalness has been good — we visited Buffalo last week, and Boomer visited Kate the Great the weekend before, and we were on vacation all of last week, doing big yardwork and canning projects. Some of the non-normalness has been stupid weather emergencies and their tragic outcomes — it’s unnerving having snow on the ground in October, was frustratingly life-disrupting to be without power (and internets!) for as long as we were (which, in the grand scheme, was barely that long at all, we know), and our yard is now in shambles.

And some of the non-normalness has been more tragic. We are going to lose the giant, shady maple that used to canopy our entire backyard.

And, most saddening of all, today we had to put down the old man, Mahmoud.

You know what we need tonight? For the Devils to do the job that fans ask most of their teams: to distract us from our worries, to bring some excitement to replace the mundane for a few hours, and to give us something to smile about.

Oh darlings. I’m so sorry. Both for the tree, and Mahmoud.
on November 2, 2011 at 7:23 pm suenj97

Sigh. So sorry about Mahmoud…even when you know it’s the right thing it’s just difficult and sad.
on November 2, 2011 at 7:25 pm Schnookie

Thanks so much, Mags and Sue. You’re so right that it’s hard even when it’s inevitable. Mahmoud was 17, and decrepit enough that it was like he’d lived every day twice, but it’s still a major bummer. (To put it really poetically. :P)

While watching the Devils in and of itself is unlikely to lead to smiles, there is some fun to be had:

1) This Ryan Carter guy needs a nickname. Or a back story. Or both.
2) Theology 301: Can Our Larsson, HBTN, cleanse the wicked Tallinder of his mortal and venial sins?
3) Does the early snow mean the reclusive Zajac might be lured out of his hidey hole early? Or do we still need another six weeks until winter?
4) How do we feel about the new on-ice reporter? I’m not personally not a fan. And I get the impression that she isn’t either.
on November 2, 2011 at 7:37 pm Schnookie

Gunner, the Devils likely won’t bring a smile, but you just literally made me laugh out loud.

1. I haven’t seen enough of this Carter guy, but I’m willing to focus on him tonight to see what his secrets are.

2. Wait, that’s a rhetorical question, right? Because there’s NOTHING Larsson, HBTN, can’t do. Are you doubting Him, Gunner?

3. I thought the reclusive Zajac was just a myth.

4. I also have not ever seen the new on-ice reporter. Are we sure she’s not Ryan Carter?

Did that Leaf just call Mills’s car a jalopy?
on November 2, 2011 at 7:47 pm EJGRgunner

I suppose it becomes a question of free will. Can He heal Tallinder if Henrik doesn’t want to be saved?

If Larrson, HBTN, can return him to a state of grace without Tallinder’s wiling participation, then I guess it’s merely a matter of will Adam, HBTN, choose to do so?
on November 2, 2011 at 7:47 pm suenj97

He told Mills someone beat his car with an ugly stick.
on November 2, 2011 at 7:47 pm EJGRgunner

Did that Leaf just call Mills’s car a jalopy?

Must have. Or maybe he accused him of riding the clutch.
on November 2, 2011 at 7:48 pm suenj97

I’d rather Larsson, HBTN, left Tallinder to wallow in sin and fixed the scoring, thank you very much.
on November 2, 2011 at 7:51 pm EJGRgunner

I’d rather Larsson, HBTN, left Tallinder to wallow in sin and fixed the scoring, thank you very much.

I believe it’s in 1st Skellefteåns that He said “Render unto defencemen what are defencemen’s and render unto fowards what is forwards’.”

Also, Funfetti. We gave a goal up to a guy named Joey Crabb? Seriously?
on November 2, 2011 at 7:52 pm Schnookie

Oooh, these are such deep questions of Larssonology. I feel like we could spend lifetimes pondering them…

Bryzgalov’s meltdown on camera must have woken up the Flyers. They won their last game and they are up on the Sabres 3-0. Too bad.
on November 2, 2011 at 7:56 pm Meg

I’m sorry about Mahmoud and about Maple Hoo’s maple. I hope that the Devils can at least provide entertaining distraction (the Sabres are currently losing out to my infinitely more entertaining Corporations reading).
on November 2, 2011 at 7:58 pm Schnookie

the Sabres are currently losing out to my infinitely more entertaining Corporations reading

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeah. I just checked their score (right before Sue mentioned it), and was suddenly like, “is there anything about corporations I could be reading instead?”

And thanks for the sympathy, Meg.

And WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was about to say the PP was still pathetic and then WOOOOO!!!!
on November 2, 2011 at 8:06 pm suenj97

Can we put Hedberg back in net?
on November 2, 2011 at 8:07 pm EJGRgunner

Oof. That was like slow-motion funfetti.
on November 2, 2011 at 8:08 pm Schnookie

That was like the dictionary definition of slow-moving funfetti. That was an atrocity.

(But yes, this Henrique kid is growing on me. I think I might… like him. It’s a strange feeling, liking a Devil…)
on November 2, 2011 at 8:20 pm Pookie

Are you saying Boxworthy is in on the funfetti infestation on the team (the funfestation, if you will)?

Aw geeze Ookies, mega-hugs for what’s a seriously rough patch. I remember getting the call when our old battleaxe of a cat got put down at 17 (I was at school when it happened) and it was all very emotional.

I missed the first period thanks to being at stupid work, but good to see Zubrus is still slamming them in the net like Kovy isn’t, but bad to see Marty’s still up to his old tricks.

Also, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
on November 2, 2011 at 8:37 pm suenj97

Will there be an official board holiday for Larssonmas next week?

Assisting is the Larssian thing to do.

Blessed is he that considers the assist: Larrson will deliver them in time of trouble. Larrson will preserve the offense, and keep the play alive; and he shall be blessed upon the ice: and he will not deliver them to the will of his enemies pads. – Psålms 41:1-2

And poop.
on November 2, 2011 at 8:40 pm Schnookie

Aw, thanks Tim. And I’m sorry about your old battleaxe, belatedly.

And in other news, Petr Sykora is fired, a hundred thousand times over.

Somehow, I don’t think this is going to be a battle of the goaltenders.
on November 2, 2011 at 8:42 pm Schnookie

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! No the fuck way! I didn’t think Clarkson had that in him. It’s almost as if Larsson has healed him of the Clarkaround — he can now score goals in straight lines, like he never could before.
on November 2, 2011 at 8:43 pm suenj97

Only if it was a supply closet. There’s no way you give Clarkson an office.

I think his old office is a gypsy camper in the outskirts of Prague, so it’s not of much use.

on November 2, 2011 at 8:47 pm EJGRgunner

Marty looks very very old.
on November 2, 2011 at 8:49 pm Schnookie

Marty looks very very old.

He does. In fact, the only other thing I’ve seen that looks as old as Marty is our cat Mahmoud. Hmm… That gives me an idea…
on November 2, 2011 at 8:54 pm EJGRgunner

…hoo boy. It really might be time to put Marty out to pasture.
on November 2, 2011 at 8:55 pm Schnookie

I’m not sure the Devils understood my entreaty before this game. Devils, my cat died today. You were supposed to cheer me up! I don’t care if you’re all dog people. Have a heart! (Devils: “What is this ‘heart’ of which you speak?”)
on November 2, 2011 at 9:03 pm Patty (in Dallas)

I’m so sorry for your losses, Ookies! (I don’t mean this game — there’s still time, right?)
on November 2, 2011 at 9:03 pm suenj97

Phaneuf just told Clarkson his office is a supply closet. Spoilsport.
on November 2, 2011 at 9:08 pm Amy

I’m so sorry about Mahmoud. And the maple tree. And the snow. And the Devils. You guys have just had a craptacular few days, haven’t you? I hope it perks up for you soon.

on November 2, 2011 at 9:10 pm Schnookie

Thanks so much, Patty and Amy. Patty, I’m not so sure about there being plenty of time left in this game. Especially given the Devils’ proclivity to promptly giving up all the ground they’d just regained. There could be problems of there being too much time left…

And Amy, it has been a shitty week. I was saying to Pookie on Monday that I could handle Mahmoud or the maple, but not both!
on November 2, 2011 at 9:30 pm Tim

Good gravy, Marty.
on November 2, 2011 at 9:37 pm Schnookie

Boomer’s trying to figure out why Tedenby would have skated into Gustafsson there, and we’ve decided he must have just thought that he’s so tiny, and Gustafsson’s so big, that no one would notice. Boomer’s suggesting Tedenby’s thought process was that everyone would just think Gustafsson fell over on his own.
on November 2, 2011 at 9:40 pm Tim

I think Tedenby had a sleep-over with Zubrus last night.

Sorry about Mahmoud Ookies! And I am sorry if I spammed you guys last night as well. My AOL account got hacked. I changed the password and that should solve the problem. All should be as good as Devils hockey! Hang on (pressing finger to earpiece), I am being told that Devils hockey is NOT good. Hmmph. Who could have seen that coming?

Thank you, everyone, for the sympathy about Mahmoud. It was very, very strange to not hear him yowling first thing this morning like he had been doing for the last six years.

Hang on (pressing finger to earpiece), I am being told that Devils hockey is NOT good.

On the replay of Tallinder’s penalty, Boomer snarled, “What a stupid play. GAH!” To which Pookie proposed, “Why don’t we just call shit like that ‘a Tallinder play’? The ‘stupid’ is given.”

Poor Tedenby, what does the guy have to do to get promoted to a scoring line?

If the answer to that is “score”, I would contend that it’s not like the scoring lines are doing that, so why the double standard?
on November 3, 2011 at 7:29 pm suenj97

After Tallinder’s -5 last game, and the penalty tonight, DeBoer should do us all a favor and bench him.
on November 3, 2011 at 7:30 pm suenj97

The way DeBoer stands there and fumes silently, I’m afraid he’s going to have a stroke or a heart attack, right there on the bench.
on November 3, 2011 at 7:31 pm EJGRgunner

Hoo boy. Are the Devils in “suck for Luck” mode all of a sudden?
on November 3, 2011 at 7:32 pm Pookie

I agree with Morgan from the other day — don’t scratch Tallinder, shoot him with a tranq dart and release him back in Sweden.
on November 3, 2011 at 7:32 pm Schnookie

DeBoer’s silent fuming makes me wonder if he’s just Brent Sutter, but not styled like Edward Gorey’s Beastly Baby.

Boomer seems to violently loathe Tallinder. She just groused, “Look, he can’t even carry the puck out of the defensive zone on the PP. They better teach Larsson to speak English fast.”
on November 3, 2011 at 8:03 pm Pookie

No more comfy brank for Rinaldo. He gets a regular old brank now. A brank filled with funfetti.

on November 3, 2011 at 8:21 pm suenj97

I’m glad he scored. I’m not sure what the point is if they are going to continue to screw up on the ice. Are they incapable of playing for anyone except Lemaire?
on November 3, 2011 at 8:26 pm EJGRgunner

It’s official. I like Henrique. I think he’s got a little bit of a chip on his shoulder.

Does Henrique get a temple? Can we gather laurel leaves and have feast days?
on November 3, 2011 at 8:39 pm Schnookie

Yes, Sue. Henrique gets temples and stone altars and the Larssonites spread rumors that the Henriqueists commit human sacrifices.

Well, on a team called the Devils you’d have to expect a religious schism.

Hey Ookies, I’m not caught up on reading the comments yet but I wanted to jump in to say how sorry I am about Mahmoud and your maple tree. 17 years. That’s got to be a hard one to lose.

At least the Devils won tonight even it did have to go to a shoot out.

Hope things are going better.
on November 4, 2011 at 1:55 am Mike in Idaho

Niemi had a GAA tonight of 58.06. Is that some kind of record? And WOOOOOOOO for the Devils sticking it to the man! I cannot believe they let Briere get away with that, not only did he come to a complete stop but the puck clearly moved backwards as well. &^*&^*(&^ Gary! But Fayne still sucks! Fraser too.

Just saw the Briere shoot out goal. That is ridiculous. Came to a full stop and the puck went backwards. Ridiculous.
