I know y’all didn’t stop watching after our game, so here’s to it.

Fight, you time-wasting figure skaters!

Wings are stumbly. Can’t be fun in the Birdie house.

life in the Bird Cage is TEH SUCK.

Mr. B: “Jimmy fucking Howard! 45 freaking seconds!”

Me: “Theo did that last season, remember? I made my peace with it. You will too”

Mr. B: “I’m not making any peace with Jimmy fucking Howard! How much does McPhee want for one of their baby goalies?”

at 2-0, we turned off the TV. Sigh.

Two Swedes and a Finn.

Maybe play with an edge, be a little more physical -- maybe be more of a prick out there.

About to watch Vancouver / LA. Should be fun. I have a sneaking fondness for Vancouver.

I’ve got NHL on the Fly on in the background. Stamkos had a monster night for the Bolts.

I wonder how long we all let this Wings slump last before there are serious questions about them. Sure there is a lot of time left, but last in the division and 13th in the Conference after 10-12 games is a fairly big hole to climb out of.

But Filppula’s broken wrist will hurt them big time. I’m not one to write off the Wings (as I was born in Detroit), but I don’t think they’ll be a Cup contender this year.

I’m shocked at how brutal they’ve started. This is baaaaaaad.

When playoffs roll around they will be Cup contenders again. Mark it.

the playoffs need Detroit, if only so we can have Death Stare Babcock do great impression of penalties in press conferences.

Edmonton isn’t quite able to choke away a huge lead. Once again, the Oilers fall short in this season’s Battle of Alberta.

Right on – which game are you watching? BOS/EDM or PHI/CAR?

I have as many wins in a Capitals uniform as Michael Belhumeur does.

Probably PHI/CAR, but I’ll flip back and forth.

BOS/EDM here. Always like catching the Western Conference teams when I can.

Apparently, Brendan Morrison rolled into practice today wearing a Chewbacca costume and scared the hell out of Gabby. I hope photos come out of that one.

Also mentioned by Knubs and Gabby in the Caps video… I bet he makes a cute little Wookee.

Wow. What a pretty pass from Bitz (I think, no. 60) on that Wheeler goal. Great job in the corner and great pass.

Sobotka makes it 2-0. ’Bout time that game got some offense.

And somehow EDM D prevents it from going 3-0. Real great play by the D. (And I think maybe Paille got that assist, not Bitz, but I’m still not sure).

Someone please to be explaining how Goligoski didn’t end up with a double-minor for his high-stick on Belanger?

On the other hand, incredible game by Niklas Backstrom in net to get the Wild a regulation win in Pittsburgh.

by Knee high to a duck on Oct 31, 2009 10:02 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Addendum, Brent Burns was horrifyingly bad in the neutral zone and in his own end. He was supposed to be the next big thing on the blue line, what the hell happened?

by Knee high to a duck on Oct 31, 2009 10:09 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I don’t know but I’ve wondered the same thing. He played a little bit of F last year (Move Green to the Wing!) but I thought that was due to blue line depth. Part of me wants to blame Lemaires for killing his offensive instincts but he’s just been dreadful this year (as has most of the team). Maybe he’s just adjusting to the new coach and system? I really like the guy so I hope he turns his game around.

That’s the thing, he looked pretty good in the Pens zone, or at least for the parts I saw. It’s his defensive and neutral zone play that was awful – he was terrible when pressured with the puck and was consistently out of position. ONe would think Lemaire would have killed his offense, but it seems to be the opposite.

by Knee high to a duck on Nov 1, 2009 1:54 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah his defensive struggles are the bigger surprise. It looked like Burns was going to be the guy everyone used to measure Mike Green against. Not so much anymore.

Time to watch BOS/NYR. I really don’t want the Rags to win, but I need the W from Lundqvist…

E. Staal left the game in the first period with and upper body injury. I wonder whether CAR even noticed his absence for the rest of the game. It’s a classic “if a tree falls and nobody hears it” phenomenon.

snOMG! snO-T for Snomadggedon II: Snoveckin's Revenge
Not sure on the date of this. May have been posted before. I think after the Pens game on Sunday it's been thrown out into the open about media bias. I actually don't mind McGuire, but I can't stand Milbury. At least they know our feelings towards them.
Video of Mike Milbury's "Hey Ovie, I'm still your daddy" comment (~4:55 on the clip) during the first intermission of Sunday's game.  Thanks to YouTube user HockeyHaven76.
