She buys three ducklings and doesn’t name them Bobby Ryan, Ryan Getzlaf, and CoreyPerry CoreyPerry.

If the Devils were in the Pacific Division, we could use this photo six times a year!

If I bought three ducklings I’d name them Al Orange, Peking, and Confit. Ya know, just to keep them on their toes.

:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: That’s a good thing, because, based on my experience with these ducklings, they really do just coast on their cuteness.

I had a classmate in high school whose family had chickens and named them all things like Fricassee and Pot Pie.

So I completely refuse to believe that Bryzgalov is capable of continuing to be as good as he’s been in the last handful of games. That’s not unreasonable, is it? Am I asking too much to want it to come to an hilarious end tonight?

For a second I thought Larsson was Colin White. I was about to shout, “NO WAY! When did Colin White get that good?!”

Doesn’t Larsson still have all his teeth?
on March 13, 2012 at 7:28 pm Schnookie

That should have been Pookie’s first clue. That, or the lack of a clown tattoo. (That we know of.)

Probably. NJ might still have a chance to win tonoght, but you have to look at Bryzgalov’s recent play in the context of Flyer goalie history. He’ll do really, really well until the end of the season, and maybe for a round or two in the playoffs, just long enough to help fans think that maybe, this time, it will all be different. Then he’ll melt down in a playoiff series and break their hearts all over again.

So it has been, and so ever shall be.

Larsson, HBTN, cannot be tattooed. For as the holy playbook says (Leviticoos 19:27-28: “Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard when seeking my cup. Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LOU.”
on March 13, 2012 at 7:49 pm Schnookie

I am the LOU

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: That’s extremely reassuring that Larsson, HBTN won’t ever end up with Colin White’s tattoos. Thank goodness for Lou’s harsh, intractable religious restrictions.

I don’t like this game nearly as much as I liked the last one. I thought this was supposed to be a re-run! Hmph.
on March 13, 2012 at 8:11 pm suenj97

Well, you knew that was coming. The Flyers have been living in NJ’s zone.

I blame the #stopkovy movement for that uncalled spear.

:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I blame the truck for my confusion about this call on Pony. Because there’s NO POSSIBLE WAY the interaction MSG just showed us could be the penalty. Surely something more legit than that happened, and they just called up the wrong bit of replay, right?
on March 13, 2012 at 8:47 pm Schnookie

I guess it was too much to hope for a repeat of the last game. :(
on March 13, 2012 at 9:00 pm Pookie

Maybe it’ll be a repeat of the Islanders game?
on March 13, 2012 at 9:10 pm EJGRgunner

Whiskey tango foxtrot? Empty net?
on March 13, 2012 at 9:25 pm Schnookie

That game blew. In case anyone was wondering.
on March 14, 2012 at 4:12 am Miss M

Wait, she DIDN’T? For shame, Sarah, for shame.

Also for shame? DEVILS. Come on guys, it’s just Bryzgalov.

At least I got a lot of wash folded during last night’s game. And it’s nice the Devils saved me the trouble of wondering how many OOOs are appropriate in a goal scoring exclamation of joy. Jerks!

Those ducklings are so adorable! I’m going to forget that you associated them with those names, so I can continue to think so. :D

My coworker has a cat named General Disarray.

Hi -Ookies and IPB peeps! Aww, those ducklings are cute. Naming them after those three would make them less so, especially if they think they can suck the first half of the season and then attempt to bring a sliver of playoff hope into my disillusioned heart… Besides, none of them looks bald or scuzzy-toothed. :P
on March 15, 2012 at 7:29 pm Schnookie

Hey everyone! Did we miss anything? We just got home from filling out an adoption application for two kittens! Unfortunately, neither is named General Disarray.
on March 15, 2012 at 7:30 pm Schnookie

zot, it’s great to see you! How have things been? I mean, aside from the hockey season being a huge, sucky betrayal. (And :^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: to the ducklings not being bald or scuzzy-toothed enough. Heh.)

Patty, if you spent more time with ducklings, you’d learn to love the Ducks. :P
on March 15, 2012 at 7:30 pm Pookie

Unfortunately, neither is named General Disarray.

Fortunately, neither of them is bald or scuzzy-toothed.
on March 15, 2012 at 7:36 pm EJGRgunner

Maybe I’m crazy, but to me it looks like a number of the Devils are tired.
on March 15, 2012 at 7:37 pm Schnookie

Fortunately, neither of them is bald or scuzzy-toothed.

That we know of.

Maybe the weather is fucking with the Devils? Maybe they spent Monday and Tuesday going, “Holy fuck, it feels like April! Did we miss our opportunity to have a March Swoon?! Quick, everyone swoon! NOW!”
on March 15, 2012 at 7:59 pm Schnookie

Quick, everyone swoon! NOW!

:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: That’s the only explanation that makes any sense.
on March 15, 2012 at 8:12 pm Pookie

The purple color MSG is using for the background of the Avs side of the scoreboard graphic makes me want to get an Avs baseball cap in that color.
on March 15, 2012 at 8:20 pm suenj97

Well, they don’t look tired anymore. They just look incompetent.
on March 15, 2012 at 8:52 pm Schnookie

:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Incompetent, tired, same difference. :P

Whoever was temporarily inhabiting Clarkson’s body seems to have vacated and left us with ‘Clarkson 1.0′. Note the inability to stay upright or score.
on March 15, 2012 at 9:01 pm Pookie

OK, this whole Foxwoods Final Five thing needs to stop. I may not have been paying a ton of attention to this game (shocker, I know) and I heard Gel-O talking about the FFF (::eyeroll:::) and was like, “WTF? There’s only five minutes left?!”
on March 15, 2012 at 9:06 pm Schnookie

Clarkson has been very falling-over tonight, hasn’t he?
on March 15, 2012 at 9:15 pm Schnookie

I feel like the Devils are never going to score another goal again.

Hey! Put those ducklings down and make some more marmalade!
on April 1, 2012 at 8:20 pm Schnookie

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Hey, berry season’s coming — less marmalade, more jam! (I’m sure you guys will be the recipients of some strawberry jam, at the very least. :D)
on April 3, 2012 at 2:04 am Steve (from Fairfax)

Well your culinary prowess was toasted several times at movie night in Fairfax. Your adoring fans await your next creation with gurgling stomachs and tingling tongues.
on April 3, 2012 at 7:14 pm Schnookie

HAHAHAHAHA! Steve, you’re too kind! But it’s great to know there is an eager audience… because there’s only so much marmalade one household can keep up with. :D
