No Banjos Here — It’s The IPB-Friendly Opening Night

January 22, 2013 by Schnookie

Well wouldja look at that — Devils hockey is on our TV tonight, and we’re here to watch it! So is there any chance the Devils blew all their winning on Saturday? Have the Flyers blown all their losing (HA!)? Will any of this be as good as the bad-ass banjoing we saw this weekend? Will the sight of the rouge, blanc, et noir be enough to warm our lockout-hardened hearts? How late into the game will we still be making Boxworthy jokes before we remember that he’s a slag-faced turtle-of-affairs and not our problem anymore? We’ll pour ourselves some huge glasses of wine (it was a rough day at work) and see.

Okay, DirecTV customers — does anyone know what channel Blersus is now? We can’t seem to find it.
on January 22, 2013 at 7:22 pm EJGRgunner

Is it really fair to blame Boxworthy for the poor decisions of his gentleman? I’m pretty sure I read some strong views on that in Remains of the Day.
on January 22, 2013 at 7:23 pm Schnookie

Rats. We found it.
on January 22, 2013 at 7:24 pm EJGRgunner

NBC Sports Network. Should be channel 603 or in the 200s
on January 22, 2013 at 7:25 pm Schnookie

I’m pretty sure I read some strong views on that in Remains of the Day.

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: But seriously, Zach’s CLEARLY not the brains of that operation. He doesn’t do anything without Boxworthy pulling the strings. This isn’t to absolve Zach, but we can’t take all the blame away from that shifty turtle.
on January 22, 2013 at 7:27 pm EJGRgunner

So it’s more of a Jeeves and Wooster situation? So maybe signing with Minnesota was just some elaborate plan to keep Zach from getting engaged.

I heard it’s Dave Strader, not Doc, calling the game tonight. It’s bad enough that I’m stuck w/the channel formerly known as Blersus. Now, no Doc as well???

Bluck you, Blersus.

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Man, you haven’t missed a step in the lockout. I think I skipped snarking training camp. My snark decided to stay in Russia.
on January 22, 2013 at 7:30 pm EJGRgunner

Maybe Doc got a gig calling pro water polo in Australia during the lockout. It can be real hard to get out of the PWPA, what with all those crazy gangster billionaire Aussies.

And I hate to say this, as an old-skool Devils fan, but I’ll take Strader over Doc any day. ::hangs head in shame::

HAHAHAHAHA! We’re getting blacked out!
on January 22, 2013 at 7:31 pm Schnookie

Oh man, those guys are RUTHLESS.
on January 22, 2013 at 7:31 pm suenj97

Well, then Boxworthy’s clearly no Jeeves. But, Zach as Bertie could be fun. My question is, who would be that idiot friend of his who fell in love at the drop of a hat????
on January 22, 2013 at 7:31 pm EJGRgunner

Heyheyhey NBCSN, you can’t just decide the Flyers are the arch-rivals of NJ. Rivals, sure, but clearly, the Rangers are the archest of the Devils’ many rivals.
on January 22, 2013 at 7:32 pm Pookie

Wow, the NHL really doesn’t want me back. Is it trying to tell me something? Is hockey just not that into me?
on January 22, 2013 at 7:33 pm EJGRgunner

My question is, who would be that idiot friend of his who fell in love at the drop of a hat????

Ryan Suter.
on January 22, 2013 at 7:34 pm Pookie

Tedenby.

Rivals, sure, but clearly, the Rangers are the archest of the Devils’ many rivals.

So true. I was taking to a coworker who I don’t know very well today who said, “If I was a hockey fan, I’d watch the Rangers.” I said, without thinking, “Why? Because you’re stupid?” Fortunately, they had more of a sense of humor than I suspected. Dodged a bullet.
on January 22, 2013 at 7:34 pm suenj97

Ryan Suter.

I thought of that, but their’s no evidence that Suter’s in love with anyone but himself and possibly Zach.
on January 22, 2013 at 7:35 pm EJGRgunner

IF NBCSN is blacked out, it should be on whichever MSG is carrying the game. Maybe MSG∂π
on January 22, 2013 at 7:35 pm Schnookie

Okay, Stars fans, what is going ON with Razor’s facial hair? Doesn’t he realize he’s too old to be a hipster?
on January 22, 2013 at 7:36 pm EJGRgunner

I thought of that, but their’s no evidence that Suter’s in love with anyone but himself and possibly Zach.

Didn’t Bertie’s friend constantly fall in love with women only to leave when he found out that they were poor? Sounds like Suter to me.
on January 22, 2013 at 7:37 pm Schnookie

Maybe MSG∂π

:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: And nope. I think we’re getting blacked out because we’re in the greater Philly area. But don’t get a Comcast feed on DirecTV (and we cancelled our cable a while ago), so… no luck to us! This means we only get a 46-game season, so I demand some money back.
on January 22, 2013 at 7:40 pm suenj97

No, he fell in love with all sorts, and when he fell in love with a poor woman, he usually knew they were poor when he fell in love. Like the waitress or the communist activist. WTF was his name…Bingo Little. It was usually Bertie (or Jeeves) who forsaw something horrendous in the whole thing and put a stop to it (well Bertie got Jeeves to do it).
on January 22, 2013 at 7:41 pm EJGRgunner

Looks like IPB is headed for a lockout of its own.

As a counter offer, I say that post a new blog entry every 7 hours, with at least 3 a week being cross-posted to a Western Conference blog, and that you do it for 20% less than you did before.
on January 22, 2013 at 7:41 pm suenj97

Tedenby does look like a Bingo.
on January 22, 2013 at 7:43 pm suenj97

WOOOOO!!! That new contract is looking good!!!!!!
on January 22, 2013 at 7:43 pm EJGRgunner

Seems like Travis is really happy that he doesn’t have to share his acorns any more.

Publicly posting that counteroffer was a clear demonstration of how you’re negotiating in bad faith. Because of that I’m now taking my original offer off the table, and will settle for nothing less than an 80-20 split of all hockey blogging profits, and will not hesitate to remind everyone that you’re the bad guy here.
on January 22, 2013 at 7:45 pm Schnookie

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Sounds like it’s a fun game so far. [/trying not to be depressed]

Who’s Stinker Pike? He was always my favorite friend of Bertie’s.

Look, I realize that bleacherreports and yahoo sports blogs just recorded record site visits last year, but the revenue distribution of sports blogs just isn’t sustainable. These changes are necessary to ensure the success of all sports blogs. We simply cannot justify continuing to operate under the old model of snarky blogging. I really hope that the Ookies realize that this blog is a partnership between posters and readers, but 3 cross-posts per week is the hill we will die on.
on January 22, 2013 at 7:53 pm EJGRgunner

Also, as to your blackout issues, check your IPB gmail account.
on January 22, 2013 at 7:53 pm suenj97

Hmmm…the Flyers have woken up. I liked them better when they were asleep.
on January 22, 2013 at 7:56 pm Schnookie

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Okay, I can’t match your uncanny (and a bit scary) lockout-speak. Are you sure you weren’t in charge of the press releases?

(Also, could you resend that, um, totally legal link? It didn’t come through…)

on January 22, 2013 at 7:59 pm suenj97

So, who exactly IS EJGRgunner??? Can’t be Bettman because Gary doesn’t like hockey.

Oh, and Zidlicky’s fired.
on January 22, 2013 at 8:00 pm EJGRgunner

(Also, could you resend that, um, totally legal link? It didn’t come through…)

If it didn’t come through that time, you can just find something through the wiziwig forums.

Mark Fields ;-)
on January 22, 2013 at 8:02 pm suenj97

I’m firing Kovalchuck too.

Wait. Mark Felt.

Damnit. Ruined the joke.
on January 22, 2013 at 8:04 pm Schnookie

Thanks for the email, Gary! Er, Gunner. GUNNER. Not Gary. ::shifty eyes::
on January 22, 2013 at 8:05 pm suenj97

Apparently the Panther announcer’s are chatting about how Kovalev needs to be more responsible defensively. Good to see that FL announcers are delusional. What Kovalev have they been watching for the last, say, 18 years?

THAT’S IT! ALL PREVIOUS OFFERS ARE OFF THE TABLE.
on January 22, 2013 at 8:08 pm EJGRgunner

In the hopes of salvaging the season, I am now willing to waste everyone’s time by having a federal mediator come in and tell you that I’m not talking to you.
on January 22, 2013 at 8:10 pm Schnookie

THAT’S IT! ALL PREVIOUS OFFERS ARE OFF THE TABLE.

Hey, mediator, tell Gunner that I said “:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::”.

Wait, haven’t they only played, like two games? How bad could he possibly be in two games? Plus, aren’t we still in the “Looks like he’s still shaking off the lockout hangover” grace period? I thought criticizing poor play couldn’t start until February.
on January 22, 2013 at 8:12 pm Pookie

That’s not a mediator! That’s just your hand with googly eyes attached!
on January 22, 2013 at 8:12 pm Schnookie

We’ve kind of settled into watching Stars/Wings on the big TV screen, and can I just say? The Red Wings play THE WORST MUSIC. This is not news, but it needs to be said at every opportunity. If I was a Wings fan, I would not be able to have season tickets because I’d kill myself if I had to listen to this shit all the time. I WOULD RATHER LISTEN TO CHICO MAKE APOLOGIES FOR MARTY THAN THIS CRAP.
on January 22, 2013 at 8:14 pm suenj97

OMG. A PP goal. By NJ. It’s the apocalypse.
on January 22, 2013 at 8:15 pm Schnookie

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
on January 22, 2013 at 8:15 pm suenj97

Well, considering the fact that the Flyers almost completely controlled that period, they must be really pissed that NJ’s up 2-0 after 1.
on January 22, 2013 at 8:21 pm suenj97

I WOULD RATHER LISTEN TO CHICO MAKE APOLOGIES FOR MARTY THAN THIS CRAP.

Chico: “I don’t see how that could have gotten past Marty, Steve. There must have been a tip or a screen or something.”

Steve: “Let’s look at the replay…nope, Chico, I don’t really see anything…but you’re the goalie, maybe you can walk us through it, step by step, and show us what I don’t see.”

Chico: “Well, Steve, there’s the original shot by the Isles, and I see what you’re saying, there’s no screen and it doesn’t look like it’s tipped by a stick, but look at that snow spray when Zajac stops, it deflects off the snow and goes right by Marty! He had no chance!!!”

There, that should hold you.
on January 22, 2013 at 8:26 pm EJGRgunner

That’s not a mediator! That’s just your hand with googly eyes attached!

Say what you want but Mr Chausette, Esq. is an accredited mediator. Plus he has NO social media presence. No twitter, no facebook page, so at the very least he can’t embarrass us.
on January 22, 2013 at 8:36 pm suenj97

Didn’t I fire Zidlicky in the 1st period? If he’d left when I fired him, he wouldn’t have taken another penalty.

Zidlicky, you’re fired, again!
on January 22, 2013 at 8:37 pm Myra's Hub

Okay, Stars fans, what is going ON with Razor’s facial hair? Doesn’t he realize he’s too old to be a hipster?

If the italics isn’t right it’s totally the lockout. But I regress, again. I resent the fact that old guys can’t be hip. However, the Capt’n Morgan look is never good. Evidently, Razor has had a tough lockout.
on January 22, 2013 at 8:38 pm suenj97

The fact that Kovy just got a penalty shot and scored during the PK to make it 3-0 NJ does not change the fact that Zidlicky is still fired.
on January 22, 2013 at 8:42 pm suenj97

I’m getting tired of firing people. Now Tedenby’s fired. That was a really stupid penalty.
on January 22, 2013 at 8:44 pm Pookie

No twitter, no facebook page, so at the very least he can’t embarrass us.

Yes, but these days everyone has a smartphone! As a pro hockey blogger, I can attest to that. And also, I shouldn’t be blamed for the fact that I was out carousing and breaking the law. I would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for those meddling smartphones!
on January 22, 2013 at 8:46 pm Myra

Oh how I’ve missed you guys. If I didn’t have a fever of 101 (along with David & Grace), I’d give you a long line of colon snorts……falls back onto sofa in a coma.
on January 22, 2013 at 8:49 pm Myra

Ok, “colon snorts” sounds really bad but you know what I mean….collapses back onto sofa….
on January 22, 2013 at 8:52 pm Schnookie

There, that should hold you.

:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: It was funny because it was true.

And WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! This game is awesome because we’re not watching, right? (We’ve settled on the Stars/Wings. HD on our TV always trumps illegal internet feeds.)

I resent the fact that old guys can’t be hip. However, the Capt’n Morgan look is never good.

:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: I was thinking it was more like an attempt at Guy Fawkes. Either way, it’s a disaster.
on January 22, 2013 at 8:54 pm Schnookie

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! “Colon snorts”!!!!! (I hope you feel better soon, Myra.)
on January 22, 2013 at 8:58 pm Myra's Hub

on January 22, 2013 at 9:06 pm suenj97

The game here is getting…ill humored. Several roughing minors and then a few minutes later Simmons went after Marty. Marty just ignored him but it started a scrum.
on January 22, 2013 at 9:06 pm Schnookie

So, people watching the game, is Bryzgalov really sucking? Or is this just dumb luck? Or do the Flyers overall blow (so far)?
on January 22, 2013 at 9:09 pm Schnookie

Marty just ignored him but it started a scrum.

For all that I complain about him, I have to say I appreciate how much he annoys other teams. Heh. Heh heh heh.
on January 22, 2013 at 9:11 pm suenj97

Bryz has had some horrendous luck. The first goal, Zajac was all alone in front of the net. The second one, it bounced off a Flyer skate. The 3rd was a Kovy penalty shot. He’s actually looked pretty good here in the last half of this period.
on January 22, 2013 at 9:12 pm suenj97

The Flyer defense has been pretty bad, although they did well killing the 5-3 PP NJ just had.
on January 22, 2013 at 9:16 pm Schnookie

although they did well killing the 5-3 PP NJ just had.

Based on my previous experience with the Devils, that might be damning the Flyers with faint praise…
on January 22, 2013 at 9:45 pm suenj97

It’s a Jacques Lemaire sighting!!! He’s in the building. I wonder if DeBoer would let Jacques do the post-game press conference. I like Pete, but Jacques’ pressers were much more entertaining.
on January 22, 2013 at 9:54 pm suenj97

I am firing Zidlicky for the third time. He doesn’t take a hint, does he?
on January 22, 2013 at 10:02 pm Schnookie

No one has ever accused Zidlicky of being quick on the uptake.
on January 22, 2013 at 10:04 pm EJGRgunner

That’s a weird thing to accuse someone of.

ADMIT IT! YOU’RE QUICK ON THE UPTAKE, AREN’T YOU?! CONFESS!
on January 22, 2013 at 10:07 pm Alix

Is everyone drinking cocktails out of acorns to celebrate? No just me?
on January 22, 2013 at 10:10 pm Alix

By the by, I don’t write for Canucks Hockey Blog anymore. Back to good ol Humming Giraffe…when I take off my lazy blogger hat anyways. Just thought you should know for blog roll purposes because who wants to read about the Canucks not from moi anyways? Heh.
on January 22, 2013 at 10:15 pm Schnookie

ADMIT IT! YOU’RE QUICK ON THE UPTAKE, AREN’T YOU?! CONFESS!

Zidlicky, blinking in the glare of the interrogation light: “No! I’ll never!”

Hey Alix! I would be drinking out of acorns, but I still haven’t seen Acorns with my own two eyes, so I’m not convinced it’s all real. (And what’s all this about updated our blog roll? HAHAHAHAHA! That thing’s a museum piece. Heh. That said, I hope your blog changes have been made happily and for good reasons!)
on January 22, 2013 at 10:17 pm Schnookie

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! GO DEVILS! Clearly they don’t need us watching.
on January 22, 2013 at 10:36 pm Alix

Do you want me to send you some acorns in the mail? ;)

My blog roll is very much the same. Museum piece. LAWL. My blog change was done rather abruptly in sort of a rude way but in the end I’m happier this way so it’s all good. Writing your own blog is more fun anyways!

Go Devils Go. The Flyers really may trade for Luongo at this rate. El oh EL.
on January 23, 2013 at 11:44 am Mike in Idaho

The Devils power play was terrible last night! That’s about all I can complain about, can’t even complain about Brodeur when he gets a shutout and played well. And yes, my glass of water is half empty.
on January 24, 2013 at 10:18 am ohsofancy

My brother just sent me this, had to share.

http://www.imfromohio.com/post/39897562398/blue-jackets-fans-when-the-players-and-the-league

I’m still conflicted about Nash. I think the best option would be if he scored a lot, but the Rangers still managed to always lose. A tall order.
on January 24, 2013 at 11:04 pm Schnookie

Oh my god, that gif is HILARIOUS! And yeah, I can’t help but like Rick Nash, but I think that blue sweater will cure me of it.
on January 25, 2013 at 7:29 pm EJGRgunner

I realize I’m probably talking to crickets. But I think JJ the Jetplane just gave me the vapors.
on January 25, 2013 at 7:36 pm suenj97

I’m not a cricket. I just didn’t think anyone else was here. The vapors??? Do you need some smelling salts?
on January 25, 2013 at 7:40 pm suenj97

DiPietro’s playing his first NHL game since December 2011 tonight. I wonder if he’s gotten injured yet.
on January 25, 2013 at 7:53 pm A Nonny Mouse

Maybe that’s all DiPietro needs – smelling salts. Or a fainting couch in the locker room?

(I’m a very quiet cricket – third season of reading this blog, first time posting)
on January 25, 2013 at 7:58 pm EJGRgunner

Welcome to the club, ANM. Clever name. I actually started to google “nonny” before I figured it out.
on January 25, 2013 at 8:13 pm A Nonny Mouse

Thanks!

I didn’t realize it was that easy to enter the IPB club. For some reason, I thought it would involve an interrogation room, the beady eyes of Boxworthy watching every move, while asking: ADMIT IT! YOU’RE QUICK ON THE UPTAKE, AREN’T YOU?! CONFESS!
on January 25, 2013 at 8:24 pm EJGRgunner

That’s just crazy. Boxworthy left. Also, could you tell me if this rag smells like chloroform?
on January 25, 2013 at 8:28 pm Pookie

Oh my gosh, I’m sorry, I didn’t realize there were crickets here! Friday nights are usually so quiet in these parts! Welcome, ANM!!!! We’ll administer your interrogation… later. ::sinister laugh::

The Devils look so spunky tonight! All my bitterness and crankiness about this lockout and that stupid blackout the other night are gone!
on January 25, 2013 at 8:28 pm Schnookie

Whoa, who let these crickets in here? And a STRANGER cricket??? ::faints dead away::

(Sorry to be so slow on the uptake here. We’ve had a disjointed evening, but you know what? The Devils are on our television! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!)

Oh, and JJ the Jetplane gave me the vapors, to, Gunner, and I was like, “That’s so strange. How is he not on IR? Isn’t he always on IR??”
on January 25, 2013 at 8:28 pm A Nonny Mouse

Go ask Neuvirth that question – he’s being annoying right now.

I think Patty just did. I think he had a chloroform rag attached to his stick there.

That was some awesome chloroforming teamwork there, Gunner and ANM. You both can stay.
on January 25, 2013 at 8:39 pm suenj97

And then FIRED!

I was going to, but they never listen to me, so I decided not to bother tonight.
on January 25, 2013 at 8:41 pm Schnookie

I’m a moron, by the way. I was staring dully at the graphic on MSG telling us the upcoming events at The Rawk, and I was like, “GODSPELLFEST? Is that a festival of songs from Godspell? Why not just do the show??” Oh. Gospelfest. Right. Carry on.
on January 25, 2013 at 8:47 pm EJGRgunner

Oh my gosh, I’m sorry, I didn’t realize there were crickets here! Friday nights are usually so quiet in these parts!

I just assumed this was part of the lockout. Mr. Chausette told me that it seemed like progress was unlikely.
on January 25, 2013 at 8:51 pm Pookie

Mr. Chausette told me that it seemed like progress was unlikely.

Nah, progress was just slow to shake off the workweek dullardliness.
on January 25, 2013 at 8:52 pm Schnookie

Did Chico just tell us that Marty’s getting a shutout tonight?
on January 25, 2013 at 8:53 pm Pookie

Chico also seems to be working his way down the entire Caps roster to say “[Insert next name on the list here] is having a really disappointing season so far”.
on January 25, 2013 at 8:57 pm suenj97

Well, the entire broadcast team seems to be having one of those nights. In the pregame show they did a feature on the nice start by Travis and Clarkson and tried to tell us that it was because they were both such intelligent players. OK, Travis, I’ll buy that. Clarkson? Intelligent?
on January 25, 2013 at 8:58 pm Schnookie

OH MY GOD FIGURE SKATING CHUCKLES!!!! Okay, that started to warm my heart a bit after his foot-dragging.
on January 25, 2013 at 9:00 pm Schnookie

and tried to tell us that it was because they were both such intelligent players. OK, Travis, I’ll buy that. Clarkson? Intelligent?

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Perhaps we’re overestimating the rest of the Devils roster?
on January 25, 2013 at 9:01 pm suenj97

Someone needs to remind Ovenchicken that throwing a NJ player into Marty’s net isn’t a goal….
on January 25, 2013 at 9:07 pm suenj97

I fired Zidlicky 3 times last game and still he doesn’t learn. I will admit, he seems to be stupider than Clarkson, which I thought was impossible.
on January 25, 2013 at 9:12 pm A Nonny Mouse

Did someone brainwash the Devils into thinking that penalties are now a good thing?
on January 25, 2013 at 9:13 pm suenj97

I suggest we fire them all.
on January 25, 2013 at 9:14 pm Schnookie

WTF? I feel like we’ve all gotten into a time machine to back when Jacques first came back that most recent time, and it was just a “too many men”-athon.

How nice of NJ to try and hand the game to the Caps.

This has been an impressive stretch of stupidity.

In fact, such an impressive stretch of stupidity that I’m beginning to believe that Clarkson really is one of the smart ones.

He’s just infected them all with Clarksonitis…you fall down, take stupid penalties and argue with the refs.

Ahhh, there’s that feeling of loathing that my life’s been missing during the lockout…

I refuse to you-know-what, even though they won in OT. If they’d been playing a real team they’d have gotten their brains beaten in at the end of the 3rd.

It was a pretty OT goal by Kovy, though.

Eh, this was my first Devils game of the season, so I’ll do it — WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Um, if Kovy is ‘From Russia With Love’ does that mean he’s a Bond girl?

Yeah, I’d rather not see Kovy in a bikini…

Congrats on the Devils, not so awesome, win. We had the Caps feed. I missed Chico. With 5 3rd period penalities including 2 for too many men, you guy are being too kind to the players about their intellectual abilities.

I’m predicting this 48 game season is going to seem really long if you are a Stars fan.
