Thanks for translating, Frisby. I’m not very smart (as my picks will doubtless prove), so I need it. :D
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Marty’s fired.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s better!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Boo again. If anyone’s out there and wondering how I feel about the Devils giving up another goal.
So it’s Nashville vs Detroit in the first round. What are the chances the schedulers will have those games on alternate nights of Southeast team/Devils games?
Hm. Chances seem slim, just because the schedulers NEVER make the playoffs fun for us all, right? I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you, though Frisby.
And WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! It’s a good thing the Devils scored on that play, because if they couldn’t get a goal out of a five-on-one, I wasn’t going to bother watching them in the playoffs.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
I didn’t have to worry about it last year, I bought Preds playoff tickets as soon as they went on sale. I was about to do it this year and then was like, hey, wait a minute…
I was about to do it this year and then was like, hey, wait a minute…
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Yeah, it’s kind of nice to have the inconvenience of our team making the playoffs, isn’t it? I really hope you’re able to get to the Nashville games, though.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Wow. Stephen Gionta. That’s… sort of hilarious. (Especially considering how earlier in the game, when she heard Gel-O say “Gionta” at one point during play-by-play, Boomer said with disgust, “I didn’t realize the Senators had traded for Gionta.” We were like, “The other Gionta, Boomer. And he’s playing for us.”)
little Gio! WOOOOOOOOO!!!
Ah yes, Stephen. little Gio doesn’t really clarify things, does it?

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woo!
WOOOOOOOOOOOO for me! I’ll be having an AmazingLeague championship parade in my parking lot err driveway tomorrow and you’re all invited. In the immortal words of The Critic’s Duke Phillips, “I envy you for having me to envy.”
I’ll be having an AmazingLeague championship parade in my parking lot err driveway tomorrow and you’re all invited.
You go ahead without us, we’re afraid of the riots that always break out in Idaho after big wins. Besides we are bad losers.
The Kitkats’ Superleague Championship Parade is scheduled for Tuesday at noon. I get that Peks, Quicky & Co might be a little busy, but Staffy & P-doods BETTER show up.
We’re #2! We’re #2! We’re #2!
Um… Yeah. Doesn’t exactly have the same ring to it…..
Have fun Mike, burn some cars in Idaho for us. Wait, as the losers, we could totally burn cars here! Kansas City will never know what hit them, once the Vultures are done!

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: I’m still protesting the Sporks’ loss to the ESB — literally the ONLY explanation for it is steroids. There is no other POSSIBLE way my valiant, kick-ass, rad team could have lost. NO POSSIBLE WAY! ::sobs:: ::makes a desultory attempt at burning a car:: ::fails at that too::
And no, we are NOT having a third-place parade. Hmph.
Dear Commissioner Bettman,
No riots will take place in Kansas City. Unlike unruly other cities, we know how to lose (see Royals, Chiefs, Kansas Football, and soon UM in the SEC). Also, the only things we want high is cornstalkes.
We will also decline any celebration until the marvelous Sprint Center, often copied (cough Quebec City cough) never matched, has 41 NHL regular season games every year.
Sincerely,
Kansas City Vultures
Sucking up to anyone for Hockey
Oh the Sad Clowns…so close yet so far…oh well, silver is a good thing in hockey, right?
The GM of the Fu Man Drews checked out of fantasy hockey at the same time her NHL counterparts did. Yet somehow, the Drews charged ahead to seventh place. I have no idea how that happened.
I’m more undecided than ever this year. Every time I set my picks I second guess and blow the whole thing up and start over.
Happy Playoffs Day Everybody! I have just consumed a Tim Hortons large coffee and doughnuts in honor of the day and I am flying! I hope to get my work accomplished before the devastating noon time crash. Good luck to All Teams Considered (a joint NHL/NPR venture) by the IPB Irregulars!
Oh, that is a great name. Jealous.
Boise, Idaho (AP) – What was supposed to be a stately procession of the AmazingSuperLeague Cup in the driveway of Mike in Idaho devolved into mass hysteria after allegations of steroid use prompted Mike to move the ceremony inside to his garage.
Several people, many of whom waited up to a minute to see the cup, reacted angrily and went to KFC en masse to litter Mike’s yard with sporks, the symbol of his team’s archrival. Mike went outside to try to calm the crowds saying “Come on people it’s not even a real utensil! I mean do you set it on the left or right of the plate on the table? Who knows?”
At this point the church of Larsson showed up and labeled Mike a heretic for not even trying to pick up Adam Larsson all year. “He won despite not having the hockey messiah on his team, obvious proof of witchcraft and sorcery!” Sporks were placed and burned on his lawn and the situation quickly got out of control. Mike’s house burned to the ground in the riots as he fled.
“Looks like the Montreal Canadians played a season here,” said the fire chief as he analyzed the wreckage. Mass quantities of steroids were found in the house but Mike claimed most of them were for his personal use only. He is awaiting trial in the Ada County Jail.
I just noticed that the first game is not until 7:30pm. The site won’t let me change the deadline but if you email me (njsk8rdan AT yahoo DOT com) picks prior to 8:01pm* I can enter them in manually.
*Some states do not allow this exemption, so the above deadline extension may not apply to you. You may also have other rights which vary from state to state. Void where prohibited.

As is customary, in my role as Storinkvisitorn of the Swedish Inquisition, I am hereby informing you that the Råd Högsta Och Allmänna Inkvisitionen, has issued an Edict of Grace for Mike in Idaho. If ye repent within 40 games, provide the names of your fellow heretics, and beg forgiveness of the Allmighty Larsson, Hallowed Be Thy Name, you will know his mercy.

Mike, :^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: I have never been prouder of the Sporks fanbase than I am right now. (And I KNEW you were cheating! CHEATER!!!!)
Awwwh poop! Just missed the deadline! Good luck other IPBers!

With Larsson, all things are possible.
To quote the holy play book:
“Poke check, and it will be given to you; skate, and you will find; rough, and it will be opened to you.” -Mattias 7:7
rough, and it will be opened to you.
The penalty box door?
“Poke check, and it will be given to you; skate, and you will find; rough, and it will be opened to you.”
Wow. That’s beautiful. ::wipes away a tear::
It’s not too late, Alix. You can email me (see my comment above) or just put your picks here in a comment.
You know what’s a truly magnificent thought? That we are guaranteed that either the Pens or the Flyers will end up having a MASSIVELY disappointing first-round exit. That is AWESOME.
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: to pretty much everything here!
Now, I’m not a fan of Crosby, but it does seem to me that two times just before that goal a Flyer realized who was in front of him and immediately moved to hit him up high.
That we are guaranteed that either the Pens or the Flyers will end up having a MASSIVELY disappointing first-round exit. That is AWESOME.
I’d prefer that the Flyers are the disappointed ones, but I’ll take what I can get.
And a big :^:::::::::::::::: to the earlier conversation.
I agree, Gunner. If the d-man was more focused on the pucks instead of trying to punch Sid in the head, that first goal probably wouldn’t have happened. The second one might not have happend if Jagr hadn’t been all, “Oh, I don’t skate past the faceoff dots when I’m on D.” Heh. Heh heh heh.
I can’t see the game – I’m listening on radio – and the announcers don’t tell me any of this stuff. They are barely willing to tell me the Pens scored.
I completely agree that the Flyers looked distracted by their targeting Sid’s head rather than focusing on playing defense.
and the announcers don’t tell me any of this stuff. They are barely willing to tell me the Pens scored.
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: So far all I’ve noticed from the TV announcers is that Pierre breathlessly reported — repeatedly — that the Flyers were getting called for a too many men penalty, and then it didn’t happen. He’s quite an authority, that Pierre.
Also, the white balance on the picture’s all off, so the ice looks either way too bright or a dull shade of blue-gray.
The picture on Blersus is strangely blinding. It’s like they’re also trying to fuck with Sid’s head.
And, I was hoping to see the game on CNBC, something I do get, and nothing is coming up. Thanks, NHL. I guess they blacked it out…but why? I’m in Northern NJ.
It’s like they’re also trying to fuck with Sid’s head.
Maybe no one…except maybe Pierre, the Pens and Sid’s mom, likes Sid’s head the way it is.

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
That sucks that you’re randomly getting blacked out of this. We once got included in the “to be blacked out” list of zip codes for a Pens/Leafs game on NHL Network (why we wanted to watch a Pens/Leafs game is beyond me), and I would not let it go with DirecTV. They weren’t responsible for it (the League was), but I was that asshole who just kept on emailing them demanding some sort of restitution. For, like, weeks. And I never got anything other than, “Gee, sorry.” (With, one presumes, a subtext of “why did you want to watch that?”) And that’s my story. Isn’t it interesting?
I honestly did not expect the Flyers to be out-hit this badly.
I honestly did not expect the Flyers to be out-hit this badly.
Heh heh. Laviolette probably didn’t either. He even used his timeout! How did that not turn things around??
Gausted!!! WOOOOOOO!!!
It just showed up, about 5 minutes into the 1st period. So, it may be incompetence by Cablevision, CNBC, NBC Sports, the NHL, or all of them.
And now Gaustad scores for Nashville. Good.
Goose is going to prove the Sabres wrong!
Well, nobody took advantage of the extended deadline. So now I just have to calculate the average irregular. If I can find time in between alcoholic beverages.
I missed Goose’s goal while getting my laundry. So it’s a belated HOOOOOONNNNNNKKKKKK!!! from me.
(With, one presumes, a subtext of “why did you want to watch that?”)
Believe me, before the game suddenly appeared on CNBC, I was about to call Cablevision and bitch. And, I was prepared for the, “Well, sorry, but you are complaining about not being able to watch what? Detroit-Nashville?” With a subtext of, “Have you lost your mind?”
Well, nobody took advantage of the extended deadline.
I guess alix was only pretending to want to participate. :P
alix has always been a tease O_o
alix has always been a tease
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
alix has always been a tease
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: So true. And proud of it! :P
I think the Red Wings are confused. I suspect this is the converation between periods, “We’re behind…and the refs are calling penalties…on us. Someone call Bettman. This isn’t supposed to happen unless we play the Ice Chickens.”
We’re behind…and the refs are calling penalties…on us. Someone call Bettman.

I’ve watched so few Blersus games this year that it amazes me anew each time I do end up watching one how dreadful Pierre is. It makes me yearn for the intelligent and dulcet analysis from Chico.
I’ve watched so few Blersus games this year that it amazes me anew each time I do end up watching one how dreadful Pierre is.
Yes, it is stunning.
Yesterday, I was on my way to the store and put the radio on WFAN, even though I knew it was Mike Francesca’s show. He was doing his obligatory once a year NHL coverage since it was right before the playoffs. He scheduled Bettman at 5pm…but before that, he had on…Pierre. Imagine it, if you can. Francesca, who knows little about hockey, and cares less, interviewing Pierre and deferring to him as the expert.
It is beyond my ability to decribe the interview..
Holy shit, Sue — that’s, like, a brain-meltingly terrible concept. Did you end up stabbing your eardrums out with your car key rather than listen to it? I probably would have.
Hi guys! I just got home from work in time for Stanley Cup time. WEWT! Oh look! Tranny Brides time!
Here is how the average picks shaped up this year:
16) STL – 12.941
15) PIT – 12.765
14) VAN – 12.176
13) NSH – 12.059
12) BOS – 11.000
11) NJD – 9.824
10) NYR – 9.588
9) DET – 9.059
8) CHI – 9.000
7) PHX – 7.294
6) PHI – 6.588
5) SJS – 6.059
4) OTT – 5.824
3) FLA – 4.882
2) WSH – 3.588
1) LAK – 3.353
Yes, statbitties on IPB. Deal with it.
and BOOOOOOOOOO!!!
My favoite WFAN interview ever was when Mike and the Mad Dog interviewed Scott Stevens, and one of them actually asked him, “Do you workout?”
Yes, statbitties on IPB. Deal with it.
EWWWWWWWWWW!!!
AIEEEEEEEE! The statbits! They burn my eyes!!! I’m intrigued by how high the Devils are on that list — must be not very many Devils fans participating this time around. :P
Imagine it, if you can. Francesca, who knows little about hockey, and cares less, interviewing Pierre and deferring to him as the expert.
I imagine that I would have veered into oncoming traffic.
Carol, I’m glad you made it home to catch some pre-Canucks playoffs! That was one thing I couldn’t deal with AT ALL when we lived out west — the sports being on three hours too early. :D
I imagine that I would have veered into oncoming traffic.
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: It’s funny because it’s true.
I was out East one time for playoffs and couldn’t believe how LATE the games went. We watched a game that was still going on at 11:30. Poor worker bees the next morning.
Detroit is looking very good. But I do like Pekka Rinne very much.
I’m so glad for play-offs! Enter the excitement!
one of them actually asked him, “Do you workout?”
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Then again, it consider the questioners….
one of them actually asked him, “Do you workout?”
LMFAO response – I workout! Girl! look at that body!
What an excellent interviewer. SNORT!
Halischuk draws another penalty on Detroit. Halischuk…where have I heard that name before?
We watched a game that was still going on at 11:30. Poor worker bees the next morning.
I’ll probably fall asleep on the couch while watching the Vancouver/LA game tonight. Those 10:30 west coast starts are brutal for east coast hockey fans.
Former NJ prospect. Traded him to Nashville in the Arnott deal, I think.
WOOOOOOOOO!!! Halischuk!!!!
Halischuk…where have I heard that name before?
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: It’s like Halischuk City out there!
Those 10:30 west coast starts are brutal for east coast hockey fans.
I remember back in my college days how I’d look forward to those 3OT west coast playoff games that run toward dawn. Now I’m lucky if I can stay up until the second period. That’s how I measure how old I am.

Whoa! That’s way too late on a school night, Amy! Yuck.
You guys, this week’s ANTM was ASTONISHINGLY awesome. Well worth stepping away from the playoffs for 40-some minutes.
Yee-haaaaa!!!! Since Nashville scored again, that seemed appropriate.
Yee-haaaaa!! does seem pretty Nashville appropriate. Darn tootin’! (Or is that more Dallasy?)
DAMN IT ALL I am not a tease. If by not a tease you mean totally a tease :P I’m sorry Frisby! What a maroon I am.
So, when does that Buffalo/Montreal 1st round series start? I can’t waaaaait!
Hum. Oh. Ok.
I’m fully aboard the Blues bandwagon right now. I know I can’t really ask you guys to root for Langenbrunner’s team, but I just have to cheer for Halak.
And I hope my Frisby bowl picks will do better than my Amazingleague team.
I’m intrigued by how high the Devils are on that list — must be not very many Devils fans participating this time around. :P

To guarantee the Devils will lose, I got a Stanley Cup betting ticket on them in Nevada earlier this week. The good points of living in Idaho are bordering Nevada and that no playoff game starts later than 8:30 local time. Apparently Devils fans write the odds because the 22:1 I got was even higher than the Panthers’ 20-1.
I can go back to just being bored by the Flames. Brent Sutter resigned.
So, he’s quit both of his NHL coaching jobs now….what a maroon.
Captain Hugs doing a happy dance, or is Patrik above gloating?

:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::: Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah. Normally I’m in favor of the Sharks losing as embarrassingly early as possible, but in this case I might make an exception.

Nice! And you’ve put actual cash money on the Devils winning the Cup?? It’s all YOUR fault now!
And dude, Sutter resigned? Again? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I think we need some fresh threadiness for the game tonight. Too much stale Langenbrunnerian bitterness in this one.
Gunner, ask and ye shall receive!
