I watched a winter classic game today for the first time. Didn’t feel super duper special, and it’s weird not seeing fans against the glass.

Nice to see media at a hockey game though.
on January 2, 2012 at 7:29 pm Schnookie

Yeah, I can’t really argue with the fact that it’s a big media event, but as an already-converted hockey fan, I kind of don’t have much use for watching the event itself. Especially now that any novelty of seeing a game played in a major outdoor sporting facility has completely worn off.
on January 2, 2012 at 7:32 pm Pookie

One of the (many) problems with the Winter Classic is that it’s a terrible TV event. Thank Larsson the Devils will never, ever be asked to participate so I can go the rest of my life never having to watch it again.
on January 2, 2012 at 7:36 pm Schnookie

There has been some discussion here at stately IPB Manor that it might be time to replace our sad, sagging sofa. Pookie just remarked that Gel-O might be sending us a sign with his choice of sport coat this evening.
on January 2, 2012 at 7:39 pm EJGRgunner

Is it structurally unsound? Or could you get away with some detailing – restuffing cushions and re-upholstering, maybe?
on January 2, 2012 at 7:40 pm suenj97

I was watching one of the bowl games and it ocurred to me that, now, the only differences between that and the Winter Classic are:

No Cheerleaders (yet)
No Marching Bands
Bowls are played in warm weather locations (obviously, that would defeat the purpose)
on January 2, 2012 at 7:42 pm suenj97

And I’ve now lost the TV feed. Not that they were looking that great….
on January 2, 2012 at 7:43 pm Schnookie

That’s a tough call, Gunner. It would need a pretty massive overhaul if we were going to have it refreshed. Our couch has lived an awfully rough life. And we have no idea how to go about getting it refurbished, but do know how to get a new one, so we might just end up taking the path of least resistance… :P
on January 2, 2012 at 7:45 pm Pookie

It seems to me that at this point, everyone loves “24/7″ more than the Winter Classic. It seems sort of a waste that they only do, like, four episodes. They should have it run all season. And put the focus back on the Cup instead of some random mid-season game that’s played in sub-par conditions.
on January 2, 2012 at 7:46 pm Schnookie

Oooh, Chico sure is being smug about Lou’s “everyone must wear helmets in practice” rule. Heh heh.
on January 2, 2012 at 7:46 pm suenj97

TV picture is back, but no sound. That means no Chico. That could be fine.
on January 2, 2012 at 7:47 pm Schnookie

Picture on, sound off is pretty much perfection!
on January 2, 2012 at 7:53 pm EJGRgunner

24/7 is really the only reason I’d want to see the Devils in a Winter Classic.
on January 2, 2012 at 7:54 pm suenj97

I agree about what to do w/24/7, except I’m not sure HBO would do a sports series like that. Even their dramatic series are about 10 episodes per season. I’m not sure they would commit to running something every week during the season – maybe from January on.

Either that, or NBC Sports Channel – formerly Blersus – will have to take it on.
on January 2, 2012 at 7:55 pm EJGRgunner

The NHL did recently create a NFL Films equivalent. Now all we need is an “Inside the NFL” knock-off.
on January 2, 2012 at 8:02 pm Schnookie

Poor Travis! Is it possible to get any closer to scoring without actually getting a goal?
on January 2, 2012 at 8:02 pm EJGRgunner

Woo?
on January 2, 2012 at 8:02 pm Pookie

I like a from-January-on plan. Go for it, NHL!

A co-worker asked me last week if I’d ever been to Canada. I mentioned that I’d been to Ottawa and she was all, “Hm, Montreal is a long drive and Ottawa is closer. Should I go there? Is there anything to do there?” Me: “No. And NO.”
on January 2, 2012 at 8:38 pm Schnookie

If that “two guys behind the goal line on the 5-on-3″ formation doesn’t take the NHL by storm, I’ll be shocked. Wait, or the opposite of that…

Maybe that was that “Torpedo” shit they kept saying was going to take the NHL by storm ages ago but which never happened!

it should be! I mean, isn’t it always best to tell the truth?

It’s how the American side of the falls gets people. That and you don’t need an enhanced license.
on January 2, 2012 at 8:47 pm Schnookie

That puck COMPLETELY crossed the line. I demand a goal here!
on January 2, 2012 at 8:47 pm EJGRgunner

You know Gel-o that breakaway seemed like a dangerous shot. I did stretch my imagination, I suppose, insofar as I imagined the goal was going to go into the net before Marty tried to trick me into thinking he hasn’t retired yet.
on January 2, 2012 at 8:48 pm suenj97

well, that one did
on January 2, 2012 at 8:48 pm Schnookie

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fine. I’ll take that one instead. (Zubrus is an unstoppable goal-scoring machine!)
on January 2, 2012 at 8:48 pm Pookie

You know when teams just need an ugly goal? I think the Devils just needed a Zubrus-style goal. It’s all gonna be awesome from here on out!
on January 2, 2012 at 8:50 pm EJGRgunner

WOO? My feed skipped right past the goal. I got all 5 five seconds of the non-face-off, but it skipped past the goal.
on January 2, 2012 at 8:51 pm EJGRgunner

GCL is skipping all over the place now for me. That or Ottawa has somehow drifted into some sort of distortion of the space-time continuum.
on January 2, 2012 at 8:52 pm Schnookie

I wouldn’t put it past Ottawa to have drifted into a distortion of the time-space continuum. That seems just like them.
on January 2, 2012 at 8:55 pm Pookie

Maybe I was selling Ottawa short. Maybe my co-worker would like to go up there and see a wormhole in person!
on January 2, 2012 at 8:56 pm suenj97

Well, before Gunner’s feed went wacko, mine was bad all evening. Now mine is fine and Gunnar’s has problems. Maybe there’s been a distortion os the STC around Ottawa all night.

My roommate got me one of those HD antennas after we canceled cable and while all the basic channels come in pretty great, CBS only comes in if the antenna sits on the radiator. I’m not sure how safe that is, but gotta love that “2 Broke Girls”. Still no hockey though.

on January 2, 2012 at 9:40 pm Myra's Hub

Sorry, but most memorable moment of this game was when Myra said that Gel-O needs to stop letting Chico talk too much. Doc kept him better in check. Gel-O needs more stories to keep Chico off-balance.
on January 2, 2012 at 9:41 pm Schnookie

That’s a great point by Myra! Gel-O needs to stop editing himself.
on January 2, 2012 at 9:42 pm suenj97

Yes, but then we’d have to hear Gel-O. My suggestion: Gel-O should just keep giving Chico food.

Picking up on the “Condra and Taormina played junior together” chat between Chico and, well, himself: Condra is apparently a form of conder: which apparently is a person who stands on shore and points to fish: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conder

I assume that this means that he helped Taormina find choice mullets in Texarkana.
on January 2, 2012 at 9:55 pm Pookie

I wonder if Condra is sad that fish-finding computers (i.e. robots) have put him out of a job.
on January 2, 2012 at 9:55 pm Mike in Idaho

Shocker!?! How many times have I seen a shot from that angle go in against Brodeur over the years?
on January 2, 2012 at 9:55 pm EJGRgunner

Funfetti.
on January 2, 2012 at 9:57 pm Schnookie

Look, there is a point at which the Devils have blown so many third-period leads, and have given up so many shorties, and have given up so many from-out-of-nowhere, totally soft goals that Chico needs to stop saying, “That’s a shocker.” No, Chico. It is literally the opposite of a shocker.

I assume that this means that he helped Taormina find choice mullets in Texarkana.

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: I have to admit, standing on shore and pointing to the fish sounds like a far better job than getting the fish out of the water. “There’s one. Oh, nope — you missed it. There’s another one…”
on January 2, 2012 at 9:58 pm Myra's Hub

And I thought the Stars were bad at giving up late 3rd period goals.

I’m sure the Devils just want a dramatic late winning goal to keep everyone awake.
on January 2, 2012 at 10:16 pm Schnookie

Shocking.

Wait, no…
on January 2, 2012 at 10:16 pm Pookie

Well, that sucked. OT was looking like it was going swimmingly, too. Sigh.
on January 2, 2012 at 10:18 pm suenj97

The fact that Clarkson’s mouthing off after screwing up and taking the penalty that cost them the game? No, not shocking at all. I’m having Langenbrunner flashbacks. It’s despressing, disturbing, and nauseating, but not shocking.
on January 4, 2012 at 7:44 pm Schnookie

Oh, Blersus. You might have changed your name, but we still know it’s you. And we still hold a grudge. Where’s our magnetic playoff tracker???
on January 4, 2012 at 7:46 pm Frisby

Oh, Doc, how I’ve missed you, let me count the ways…
Pierre Mcguire…not so much, well not at all. Pierre, do you happen to speak french? I’m just asking, you know, for a friend.
on January 4, 2012 at 7:46 pm Pookie

I still can’t believe we whored ourselves out to them and got nothing. Lessons learned. Lessons learned.

Speaking of lessons learned, why can’t Janssen and Thorton fight in some secondary rink while the regular goes on uninterrupted?

Well, I like the Winter Classic. It’s the perfect addition to a bacon sandwich when nursing a New Year’s hangover (at least when it’s on New Years). When it snowed that one time, it looked awesome. And when the Penguins had to play in stupid rain, the schadenfreude was awesome.

Bowls are played in warm weather locations (obviously, that would defeat the purpose)

on January 6, 2012 at 7:44 pm suenj97

we will rain down wrath and possibly human sacrifice!

When Foster’s shot hit Henrique in the ankle and he was in the locker room, I was thinking that if he missed time, it might require human sacrifice to satisfy the Henriquists. But, Foster is kind of useful, so I thought one of the 4th liners or maybe Adam Oates could be substituted.
on January 6, 2012 at 7:50 pm Schnookie

But, Foster is kind of useful, so I thought one of the 4th liners or maybe Adam Oates could be substituted.

Yeah, we won’t accept Foster because, while our god is a wrathful god, he’s also not totally short-sighted about the Devils. As for the 4th liners, we don’t want to offend our wrathful god. Seriously, Boulton or — ::shudder:: — Janssen? Yeah, that’ll never work. So I guess that leaves Oates! Let’s get to it!

In re: Barch’s suspension, one of my greatest regrets (and shocks) from this season is the racial slur-ification of the great comic tradition of slipping on banana peels. Being a big slapstick fan, and mostly oblivious to what I consider old-fashioned forms of racism, this has been quite a difficult education for me. :P
on January 6, 2012 at 8:14 pm Schnookie

(I meant to post that quite a few minutes ago, but got distracted. It was much more of-the-moment when Barch had actually just scored, and Chico and Gel-O had just uncomfortably mentioned his suspension.)
on January 6, 2012 at 8:22 pm Tim

What’s this about slipping on banana peels being racist? I was told banana peels were a stand-in for poop, which was a quite common slip-causer in cities in the early days of cinematography, given the horse had yet to be replaced fully by the automobile.
on January 6, 2012 at 8:27 pm suenj97

Bananas are used as symbols to call black people monkeys. Therefore, saying that a black player who fell down slipped on a banana peel is also considered in the same vein.
on January 6, 2012 at 8:28 pm Schnookie

I was told banana peels were a stand-in for poop, which was a quite common slip-causer in cities in the early days of cinematography, given the horse had yet to be replaced fully by the automobile.

Whoa, seriously? That… actually makes a lot of sense. Of course, banana peels are really slippery, and are also inherently really funny. I mean, they’re banana peels! (Have I mentioned here that one of my proudest moments in life was actually slipping on an actual banana peel in actual real life? Because it was. Proud. And very slippery.)

Anyway, this proliferation of “slipping on banana peel” incidents directed at black NHLers is making one of my favorite jokes increasingly taboo. This is awful! Honestly, when the fan in whichever city it was tossed that peel onto the ice during Simmonds’s shoot-out attempt, I initially thought, “That’s HILARIOUS! Wait… people are outraged? Hm. I should keep this to myself.”
on January 6, 2012 at 8:31 pm suenj97

Schnookie, there’s nothing taboo about it if you use it on, say, Clarkson. Not that he needs the help.

My favorite thing about slipping on banana peels is Charlie Chaplin saying that some people might have thought it was funny for a fat lady to walk down the street and slip on a banana peel, but he knew it was actually funnier if the fat lady noticed the banana peel before stepping on it, carefully stepped over it — and then fell down a manhole. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (Manholes aren’t racist, are they?)

on January 6, 2012 at 9:01 pm Tim

At 3:11 they discuss the origin of slipping on banana peels, though Jimmy Carr saying “someone told me” makes it sound a bit dodgy. He has done books on the history of comedy though.
on January 6, 2012 at 9:01 pm suenj97

Did Barch run into Clarkson’s shoulder?
