If you can't make it out to the Puck Daddy/Japers' Rink viewing party tonight, feel free to pop open a cold one and hang out here to discuss all the evening's goings-on.
Norris or Hart? Both.
Enjoy.

Murray did well with not that much, but I think when you take a team that really hasn’t been that dominant at all and put together the kind of season the B’s had (without really any proven franchise players except maybe Chara), that’s pretty impressive.
That said, none of them would have been undeserving, I just think Julien did the best job.

And from Vogel:
Joining them on that squad are the Bruins’ Tim Thomas and Zdeno Chara, Pittsburgh center Evgeni Malkin and Calgary’s Jarome Iginla.
Interestingly, Green led all balloting for defensemen for the First All-Star Team by 584-566 over Chara. Green led Chara 107-97 in first-place votes. Ovechkin got 130 of 132 first-place votes at left wing.

At least the Russian alphabet is one that’s analogous to ours. In a way, translating between the characters in our alphabet to the Cyrillic alphabet is like translating the letters to the codes we used to represent letters in the secret messages we wrote as kids. We would use different symbols to represent each letter.

Similar in many ways. Then the Russians have a single character to represent the “ch” sound and the “sh” sound, not to mention the “ts” sound.
At least, there’s a system for transcribing.
It would be even harder to translate to the characters in Asian languages, like Chinese and Japanese.

Cyrillic really isn’t that tough once you get used to it. But they def have words we don’t use and their sentence structure can be very odd at times. Not to mention they just do things different, like “Tu tu tu” thing that Pasha did, that’s basically like the “knocking on wood” thing you would do if you were honoring someone, to start an applause.

I wonder how close the Polish (not to mention the Czech or Slovak) language is to Russian. They’re all Slavic languages that use the Roman (i.e. our alphabet) instead of Cyrillic. It seems that many of the same last names occur in both Polish and Russian. Of course, they’re spelled differently in this country. And most Polish last names are mispronounced in this country. They use the “c” character to represent the “ts” sound and “cz” to represent the “ch” sound.

Actually No, Pens fans are pretty happy with Malkins Art Ross, Conn Smythe and Cup title. Look at thepensblog for more rational.

Hmm, but what you admit via blog, and what you really feel are two very different things at times.

I believe the word your looking for is “rationale”.

I love my boys over at thepensblog, but that may be the first time I’ve seen their site and “rational” in the same sentence (even if unintentionally).

I live on the DC MD border, and don’t really do Virginia much, so I Mapquested Bailey’s Pub and Grille and got great directions. To the one in Crystal City. Had no idea it was a chain. I managed to find my way to Ballston by the time they announced the Hart, so not much time to mingle or meet anybody. Sorry I missed (just about all of) it.
