Ok boys, you want the good news, or the bad news? The good news is MOL is doing an overnight at the Germ Factory. I love her, but she has not done as well with the playoffs this year as she did last. I think it’s because no one she knows or likes is in it. Obviously, the Bruins are out. With Carolina not getting in, she really has no rooting interest. It’s been hard to watch, and admittedly, I watched some chick flick instead of a game because her constant complaining had to stop.
The bad news? I am unsupervised with the giant Grey Goose bottle Killer brought over. Thank god there is only one game tonight. My liver, relationship, and neighbors can’t handle the double dip tonight. Killer, I am going to need a wellness check around 11:30.
It was quite a busy week on Goonblog. Killer did the heavy lifting from a writing stand point, and K Special, I, and Red Thunder had a lot of comments. One of the most heated debates was regarding a post on a goal or no goal at MSG earlier in the week. From my standpoint, it didn’t go in. Oh, it was this fucking close, but it didn’t go in. Killer sees it a different way. It sparked a debate about cameras in posts, and micro chips in pucks. I am not sure about the micro chip idea, but the cameras would most assuredly work. Those of you that follow the AHL know the Philadelphia Phantoms tested a net this season where the posts actually lit up when a goal was scored. No lights were damaged in the course of the game. If they can do that, I see no reason why two cameras couldn’t be safely installed in the posts with no harm to the cameras themselves, or the game.
The other item of note was a comment KSpecial had made about former Bruins still in the playoffs. He made a fine point about the mismanaging that has plagued the club for years. Think back to when the lockout ended. What team was in the best position to take advantage of the new CBA? That’s right, the Bruins. What do they do? Sign Brad Isbister. A guy that was in the American League with two teams this season. Dave Scatchard (old and bad) Brian Leetch (Probably the only thing they did right was sign him for one year) Shawn McEachern (Demoted to Providence after 37 terrible games) and the traded arguably the best player in the whole league for a bag of used pucks. To say they mismanage, and can’t evaluate talent is the understatement on the century.
Here are some quick picks for the Conference Finals. Wait, before that, has there been a single fight in the second round of note? I can’t think. OK, now the picks.
What would be great for the NHL in the East: New Jersey Snooze Fests vs. New York Rangers for obvious reasons.
What will really happen? Rangers and Senators. I really like the Rangers this season.
What would be great for the NHL in the West: Detroit Red Wings vs. Anaheim Ducks. The Wings are America’s Team and will garner the most TV ratings. I realize that is a huge oxymoron. TV ratings in America for hockey.
What will really happen? Very close series out West. I like the Wings. They have been battling all playoffs, and are getting great goaltending.
I have to make a drink. Killer, let’s move the wellness check to 10?
Hey Chris I was wondering if you were OK. Havn’t heard from you in A couple days. I guess last night was the Rangers turn to blow chunks, I hope they dry out soon.
I am great RT. Bad icing to take with 7.7 seconds left eh?
go sharks!
RANGERS SUCK! Go Red Wings
That was a very entertaining game yesterday. Chris Drury is clutch. I am now rooting for Ottawa. It pains me to say that, but I really don’t like Buffalo.
Hey Chris, the wife got A new toy, (no it does not vibrate) she bought herself A digital camera so I will soon be sending you that picture of the B’s with Mr. Bourque holding the Stanley.
Nice! Bummer it doesn’t vibrate.
The last time I felt something vibrate was the bench I sat on in College after I ripped a good fart. These PST time zone games blow as I can’t keep my eyes open. Selfishly, I am rooting for a Detroit vs. Buffalo Stanley Cup with the winner being the Wings.
Killer, I like the teams you like. Can you imagine that? Your farts were also legendary. I was watching the game last night and the next thing a knew I woke up on the couch with a beer staind tee shirt on and pretzel crumbs all over me. It was 3 AM. Sam Summer Brew is better consumed then spilled all over ones self. GO HASEK!!!!!!
I watched the first period and a half, got a jump from MOL and went to bed. I like Ottawa and Detroit. Wings are your winner.
my wife cuffed me in the back of the head for my non vibrating camera comment, but spilling your Sam Adams made her furious. I guess that get’s me off the hook, thanks man.
Finished the Grey Goose last night. Then got into the Woodford Reserve. I am not well.
The way I’ve always seen it, if you can kick yourself in the ass the next morning you must be doing fine.
hey fellow jar head, has YOL ever ripped your cammos off while you tried to ….. fuck I’ll talk to to you……..good night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shepard to lost sheep…Shepard to lost sheep..come back…RT u ok today?
RT, You eat a lot of paint chips when you were a kid?
Why? are paint chips bad? Is it too late to stop eating them now? Well like I was trying to say last night was the wife was being very very distracting. She said she was gonna blow me up. So needless to say I’m much better today.
Blow me? What the hell is that. I think I had one of those back in 1994 but cannot recall for sure. Big game tonight boys, lets stay on point here. Purdy dropped the ball!!!!!!
Good tilt in Buffalo boys. I like the Sens.
So what happened in last nights game?
Sens went up 2-0 in the first. Buffalo tied it 2-2 in the second. Sens went up 4-2 in the third. McAmmond scored an empty netter to make it 5-2. No fights. Couple of big hits though.
Let’s go Wings
MOL took her last final today. I’m getting her loaded at a bar. I hope there is a TV.
dead ducks?
Hasek looks great and so don’t the Molsons I am drinking. Big one tonight.
Fisher just unloaded a bomb past Miller on a PP. 2-2 in the second. Grey Goose & Lemonade working it’s way through my system.
The secret is out, shoot HIGH on Miller. Another PPG by Ottawa, Redden with a bomb from the top of the circle. 3-2 Ottawa end of the second. Stay the fuck out of the box Buffalo and you might have a chance. Have I ever told you guys I HATE Ottawa? No, well I really HATE them.
Wholly Shit…less than 5 seconds left in the 3rd and Buffalo ties the game 3-3. Good thing I bought the big bottle of Goose.
the envelope please
