Gametime Already?

June 4, 2012 by Schnookie

Yikes! It’s almost time for the puck to drop! Man, the first day after vacation is so disorienting. Here’s hoping the Devils are more put-together tonight than we are.

I just hope they remembered to bring the spare Zubie parts with them to LA.

Surely “Spare Zubie Parts” is the first item on their packing list?

I wonder how much of Zubie 1.0 is left.
on June 4, 2012 at 8:10 pm Schnookie

He played in Philly — I bet there hasn’t been any of Zubie 1.0 for YEARS.

Why is LA making their ice red? That’s like when other teams play Bon Jovi or “Running With The Devil”.

I can’t see it so I can’t even begin to guess.

I doubt Zubie 1.0 made it out of Europe.

If I were the Kings, I’d dress the entire Staples center (the bits that the players see, at any rate) to look exactly like the Rock, thus tricking the Devils into thinking they’re at home. Like Charles Wang’s sumo-wrestler goalie, it’s a plan that’s too good to fail.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You’re a genius.

The GameTracker PBP is telling a sad story…almost all black icons. I guess NJ isn’t exactly controlling play…

I have had a shockingly difficult time focusing on the game this evening — I’ve had either entirely too much wine or entirely not enough. I feel like the Devils have had the puck a fair deal, but aren’t making shots? Am I making that up?

Careful with Henrique’s pretty face, Kings! He needs to stay attractive for the sacrificial virgins we’re clearly not using enough of so far in this series.

All this PP ime can only end in heartbreak.
on June 4, 2012 at 8:51 pm Schnookie

Aaaaand… HEARTBREAK!
on June 4, 2012 at 8:52 pm suenj97

I think Bettman declard the sacrificial virgins to be a violation of the CBA.

Oh, and Zidlicky’s fired.
on June 4, 2012 at 9:04 pm Schnookie

I don’t understand why Zidlicky’s always here to be fired anew. Why doesn’t this ever take??

Man, Pierre McGuire and Wayne Gretzky — two great tastes that taste great together. Or the opposite of that.

Poopity poop.
on June 4, 2012 at 9:22 pm EJGRgunner

That’s a bullshit slow whistle.
on June 4, 2012 at 9:23 pm Schnookie

I refuse to believe that official could still see that puck. What the fuck??
on June 4, 2012 at 9:23 pm suenj97

Well, that’s it. I’m out. Goodnight everyone.
on June 4, 2012 at 9:26 pm Schnookie

G’night, Sue. I hope there’ll be good news waiting for you later.
on June 4, 2012 at 9:31 pm Schnookie

So is that a “we’re sorry we didn’t blow the whistle faster on that goal” penalty?
on June 4, 2012 at 9:33 pm Pookie

I was slightly worried because I’m scheduled to work late the night of Game 6. Game 6 isn’t going to happen, is it?
on June 4, 2012 at 9:54 pm Pookie

Can Game 4 also not happen?

I’m pretty sure Game 4 still has the “if necessary” asterisk by it. And it’s not necessary.

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Surely they can upgrade it from “merely a formality” to “just assemble the Kings at center ice and give them the Cup.” (This doesn’t diminish my happiness with this postseason, by they way. I’m going into the summer with nothing but joy in my heart.)
on June 4, 2012 at 10:40 pm EJGRgunner

I don’t know if I can be fully joyful. This… this is embarrassing.
on June 4, 2012 at 10:46 pm Pam

When the smoke clears in a few weeks, I’ll find some joy in the surprise of them making it this far. But for now, it stinks!

Last night we had a huge windstorm here that knocked out power to 50,000 houses. Unfortunately mine wasn’t one of them.
on June 5, 2012 at 7:22 pm Schnookie

Unfortunately mine wasn’t one of them.

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: We turned the game off after the second period, so maybe that’s what’s preserving my happiness. And, come to think of it, we could barely see Game 2, what with the spectacularly shitty standard-def feed, with all its wonky cropping and whatnot. So this series pretty much hasn’t really registered for me. :P

Sorry the final is so underwhelming…
And you know, there’s always a positive side: at least next season your team won’t be coached by Michel Therrien.
on June 6, 2012 at 1:04 pm Schnookie

Grrrreg, :^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Wait, no, I didn’t mean to laugh. I meant to say that I’m so, so sorry. No one should have to suffer that.
