They admitted it!!! They finally admitted it!!! Not only did they say "soap opera", but they even graciously included "agonizing." I think our message finally got through.
Posted Wednesday January 07, 2009, About: NHL considers Christmas games
Yes, I've been thinking the same thing about the Classic. We don't have even the Hawaii bowls on Xmas any more, and I'm not going to watch NBA, so I need something to watch. Though with combining families with the upcoming wedding would make sitting still in front of the tv a little difficult.

I don't mind the Classic on New Years, it's a nice, new tradition. I am curious as to how much more viewership the game would get on Xmas only competing against the NBA instead of bowls.
Posted Tuesday January 06, 2009, About: Crosby duped into instigator penalty?
Listen, I'm no huge fan of Crosby, but I can see talent and effort. The Kid leaves it out on the ice. It's not like he did this in a one goal game. He knew his team had no spark and, looking long-term, he did this to try to give his team a spark for further down the line. Say what you want, this was done to help his team--not this game, but to try to work them out of a funk for games to come. Unfortunately for the Pens, it did nothing to help them with the Rangers.

I agree, 20 minutes seemed excessive. But at least the refs didn't give Sid any special treatment in doling out those 20 minutes.
Posted Monday January 05, 2009, About: Crosby duped into instigator penalty?
Oh crap, was I supposed to get everybody? Man, I really dropped the ball on that one. If only I had talked to T Rocks sooner.

Being not much of a fighter, just jumping McLean was a good way to go at it (who knows if McLean said yes and turtled or what). He was trying to give his team a jolt, so good for Crosby. If people want to call Crosby a puss and still give him crap for getting into a fight, by all means have fun with that double standard. I think he does have a bit of an entitlement attitude at times, but Crosby is still a great player that does what he needs to to help his team.

I know, it was a tongue-in-cheek reference to the pictures T&R uses that makes him look like a former mustachioed dictator on the lectern. Conspiracies are better when they can't even remotely be true.

I'm sure they have the best ice technicians (that sounds weird) out there, or they are bringing in thousands of air conditioners to help. I mean they already have all of jerseys made!

"an" E. As in Moe. Why isn't there an edit feature?
Posted Monday December 29, 2008, About: Gaborik to Atlanta?
Mo is the Three Stooges leader. You will recognize him by his distinct haircut. Wait, I think he spells it with and E.
Posted Monday December 29, 2008, About: Gaborik to Atlanta?
It's not to be an insult to either city. They are basically infant franchises (in the grand scheme of things), and I don't think it would be smart for either to risk the amount of money Gaborik is asking, especially tying your franchise's hopes on an oft injuried player. Gaborik is a good player but too much of a risk for either young franchise to try to build around. No smack talk, so please don't lump me in with the Blues franchise.
Posted Monday December 29, 2008, About: Why players union might ditch helmets
What's Reebok, Mission, CCM and all the other manufacturers have to say about this. The shootout already is a halfassed event, so why make it seem even more so? They go sans helmet in the AllStar skills and it looks like they are not really trying, just goofing around. That's how this would seem to me. Plus, I've clunked it off the crossbar before and had it knock of my helmet-less head--nothing too bad, but it hurt like a mother.

Weather issues in Chicago? That's odd.

I actually heard that Bettman found out Wrigley sells kosher hot dogs and the fuhrer could not stand for such things. If you want to create controversy, might as well make a racial firestorm.

From one storied franchise to another.
Posted Friday December 19, 2008, About: Why Sundin picked Canucks over Rangers
Dada daaaaa deh, hey! Dada daaaaa deh, hey! I jumped onto SI's site last night and was going to jump up and down for this headline, but "Red Wings thrash Sharks" was right next to it, so my excitement shifted. Go Wings!

First, do you really think he was going to create all this mind-numbing drama and sign with NY for, what, 3.25 million? Maybe he's a true Canadian, feels real hockey at it's heart is Canadian and would only play for a Canadian team. He is Canadian, right?

Up next on T&R: Sundin still open to trades from the Canucks.
Posted Thursday December 18, 2008, About: Blake's spin-o-rama goal irks Devils
Wasn't the ice shower shootout goal also against the Devils, Brodeur? Why does everyone want to do crazy shi against NJ and show them up?
Posted Thursday December 18, 2008, About: Blake's spin-o-rama goal irks Devils
Can you imagine Holik trying to spin with that big head? It's in the rules, it's in the net, it's over.
Posted Thursday December 18, 2008, About: Flyers crash fraternity party
Yeah, there's no problems here. I read about it the other day, and it included one of the frat guys talking about it. He said they sat there at the bar drinking their free booze and he thought it was pretty cool Flyers were at his party. He also said that one hit on his date, and which he naturally assumed was the reason he didn't get any later. It was a pretty funny story and it sounds like the frat took it in stride.

The pics didn't even have them all over chicks. The just took pictures with people, nothing embarassing. Unlike the pics of David Garrard (Jacksonville's qb) I saw the other day. Did anyone see this? He was at a wedding, wearing a suit, and he was sweating through the suit. Through a suit!
Posted Wednesday December 17, 2008, About: Wild weighs outdoor game
Why does it need the thumb up or down from the Mighty Short One? And why can we only have on outdoor game a year? If I were Minnesota, I'd start planning it and on a different date than Jan 1.
Posted Monday December 15, 2008, About: Ten teams in deep financial trouble
Good gawd...Seabird, they've gotten to you too! We all know that Bettman is just a puppet of Tom Cruise! He's made this new movie as an allegory to the Bettman despotism and the need to displace him, but it's really a red herring for his real goal of putting more clubs in the sunbelt, effectively handicapping our common sense and striking to take over the world while our wits are dimmed.

I think I just lost myself.
Posted Monday December 15, 2008, About: Ten teams in deep financial trouble
"I do not likes zis new movie by the Tom Cruise. It gives ideas of overthrowing zee fuhrer, er, commissioner."

Could there be upheavel and mistrust in the NSL? Bettman needs to be careful of Sather's briefcase in the next meeting.

Posted Friday December 12, 2008, About: Morrow's nightmarish surgery
How long is the rehab for an amputated leg?

Well give him a little break here. Maybe he was clarifying that in his dream it was an actual medical procedure he was doing rather than just hacking it off. So is it more disturbing if he hacked off his leg with say an axe or if he's performing an operation on himself, fully dressed in scrubs, with "She Blinded me with Science" is playing in the background?
