Fortunately I think the Panthers are as close as you can come to meeting a non-playoff team. Although if they lose in the playoffs to Clemmensen, I will be besides myself with anger. I really will have so much anger that a spontaneous clone of myself will have to appear to store it all.

That is one bizarre article. God forbid someone have integrity these days; and from what I’ve heard, LaFontaine has it in spades.
I hope your game is better than mine. The Sabres are losing 3-0 to the Leafs. I kind of want to shoot every Sabre not named Foligno or Enroth into the sun.
Amy, I’m so sorry about the Sabres losing to the Leafs. One of my co-workers is teaching a class to prepare people for the citizenship test; today he was looking for clips of the national anthem to play in the next session. I was like “Two words — Doug Allen.”
Dude, Chico shouldn’t have spent so much time crowing about how much depth at center the Devils have. If he hadn’t said anything, Josefson would be fine.
If he weren’t before, Pando is absolutely dead to me now. Chico may be at fault because he can’t keep his mouth shut, but Pando was the ‘instrument’ that broke Jetplane’s wrist, because Chico was blathering.
Wait a minute…since I haven’t been around lately, what’s the general opinion of JJ around these parts?
I don’t think he’s played enough to really gather much of an opinion on him. With Henrique’s emergence, he has become kind of surplus to requirements, as they say in soccer. I would bet he will be traded in the offseason.
And in important fantasy hockey news, the Elias Sports Bureau is well on its way to the AmazingLeague title. We keep all the records so have no doubt the Bureau will win!
And I kinda like JJ. I have no idea why, because he never plays for us, but whatevs. I’m sorry to keep seeing him get hurt. And he was certainly starting to figure his shit out in the last few games, so I won’t complain about secondary scoring. I just wish he wasn’t such a delicate little flower.
And Mike, I am only grudgingly congratulating you on your stupid team’s stupid (and likely steroid-enhanced) win over my magnificent team. ::sniffle:: On my walk in from the parking lot at work today I came across a most poetic sight — a crushed plastic spork.

Oh man — we lost track of time while grilling and thought we’d missed most of the first period when we got inside and looked at the clock. Thank heavens for 7:30 start times!!
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Having been to the BJs’ arena, I believe the correct response to that goal should have been “BOOM!”
Ha! Another team did the almost goalie-switch that Tampa had against NJ. The Caps are up 3-0 againt FL and it looked like FL was pulling Theodore for Clemmer but apparently everyone was jut confused and Jose is back in goal.
The Florida teams need a workhop in “pulling the goalie” and “communication skills”. Either that or both of them have mastered the art of “how to not pull your goalie but get your team an unofficial timeout”.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Georgia Staal! I’d call him that, too, and I don’t spend every day with Joe Micheletti. Heh. (I pity anyone who has to work with him.)
Aw, that “pulling the goalie” fake-out. How’s that move working for the Florida teams?

Definitely…but my fear is that since DeBoer seems to be allergic to the simple solution, which is the Land Zhark, we will probably see either Boulton or Janssen in the playoffs.
So the Land Zhark doesn’t score – neither do the other two. He does skate well, pass, backcheck, kill penalties and not take stupid penalties. All around, a plus.
I don’t get those grass seed commercials at all. Why do they want me to actively dislike their grass? (Although I love seeing grass seed commercials because they mean two things: warm weather, and playoffs.)
That Scotsman ad isn’t nearly as awesome as the grass commercial from two years ago that proudly touted it’s special chemical formula that turns the grass seed brown when it needs water. You know, because Mother Nature doesn’t already do that. It’s like Chico invented that grass seed campaign.
I was kind of pulling for Buffalo to make the playoffs. I thought they’d have a much better chance of upsetting the Rangers in the first round. Oh well.
And I was also hoping the Sabres would make it, for a variety of reasons, not least of which was I’d prefer anyone to the Caps.
Heh. I was hoping they’d make it, too.Now I get to cheat on the Sabres and pick my playoff boyfriends. Is there room on the Devils bandwagon? I’m already rooting for Nashville in the West.
Amy, there’s always room on the Devils bandwagon and I endorse your Nashville pick to the point I’m going to put money on them during my weekend trip to Nevada.
Hop on aboard the Devils bandwagon! I strongly suspect it won’t be a very long ride, but it might be fun! Heh heh. (And seriously, I’m so sorry the Sabres were poopyheads this year.)
