But enough about the NBA. Well, ok, maybe not enough.
I absolutely hate the 2-3-2 format for best-of-sevens, but at this stage of the Stanley Cup playoffs, the 2-2-1-1-1 is really wearing on the players and coaches and trainers and equipment guys and media and anybody else who is working on the finals. I can tell you from experience. Actually, the players and coaches are probably least affected by it, since they charter everywhere and don’t deal with customs or luggage check or meals on the road or cabs or parking or middle seats or overbooked flights or long security lines or cavity searches.
But I digress. And a couple more things on the NBA finals. Do the Knicks, with two good players—neither in the top 10 in the league—really think they’re close, when the Heat, with three of the best, two of the top five, couldn’t win it? And did we really need to see so much of Mark Cuban? And were both arenas in the series named American Airlines? And who was that comatose reporter doing post-game interviews? Kind of nice when a road team wins and we don’t have to see the confetti and the fireworks and all that idiocy.
OK, enough of that.
As I told youse earlier, I am out of here for a week. Not my choice. Gotta take a week off, can’t blog, can’t comment, can’t do anything work related. So I have scheduled a few posts to go up over these seven days, one of them about the Rangers, one complete gibberish (jibberish), and a few blank canvases? I wish I could review tonight’s Game 6, since it will be the first of this series that I will see start to finish, and Stanley will be in the house. But I can’t. Can’t even do guest blogs, because that would require me to go to my company e-mail and edit and post.
Sorry.
But I can tend to a personal loss my family suffered this weekend, and I can do my lawn, and finally get that ice damage repaired, and maybe see Mr. T once or twice, and watch a whole boatload of the U.S. Open.
So hold the fort without me, behave yourselves within reason, hand out shineboxes if necessary, refresh-refresh-refresh, tell Sally I said “Good morning!” or “Good afternoon!” or “Good evening!” as the case may be, and let me know what I missed when I come back. OK?
See youse next Monday.

Good morning, boneheads!
i miss carp already
Rich (on the last thread)
I’m aware Lucic is Canadian (as is Oreskovich). That was kind of the point…
Enjoy the hiatus.
I hope milbury gets cavity searched
Carp-Great blog you got here. I read it religiously but have never commented. Enjoy your “week off” knowing that your masters saved 25million justifying their obscene bonuses! LGR!!!!!
Enjoy your furlough, Carp…And sorry for your personal family loss.
A week without Carp is, well, a week without Carp. Byfuglien!
Would Carp have been Carped if the Rangers were still in it? Don’t want to think about that, do we?
If there is one thing I can count on this blog for it’s honest reporting. Dirk Nowitzki is, in fact, a europansy. Winning will not change the fact that he is thin and has floppy hair and is, ultimately, a europansy.
miss you carpie. enjoy the time off. go nucks go.
lebum your a loser baby
Enjoy you’re vacation, hopefully it’s more pleasure than obligations!
Peter Nedved is a Canadian, too! ;)
anyway… Carp… have fun vacationing!
I say…we all change our names to “Carp” for a day…or half a day…. it’ll be fun…confusing, but fun!
Hello, guys! Missed me yet? ;)
Good morning, Sally!
CCCP?
CCCP?
no, thank you, Manny.
Hey, is that an imposter?
Yes.
No.
It’s always the links in the names that give things away!
i wasn’t trying to hide ;)
Let’s Go Rangers! Everyone else sucks!
I miss MZA…
Only two weeks until draft day!!! Wooo!
Only 3 weeks until July 1st!!! Yeah, buddy!!!
I am hoping for a game 7. Keep this season moving!
nobody wants to play…fine!!
Carp, enjoy the forced vacation.
Sometimes I wish I had someone forcing me to take off.
So game 6 tonight….GO B’s!!!
How is this CCCP?
I will add a link to cut down on confusion….
Carp,
Enjoy your time off and I’m sorry to hear about the loss in your family.
We’ll miss ya around here!
lol i had to force you to play just as Carp was forced to take vacation!
i dont wanna play anymore :P
Fine. It’s over. No more games!
Good morning all! Carp, sorry to hear of your loss and I can’t believe there are more furloughs!!!!!!! Hartnell! We’ll miss you here. C3, I think you’d make a good designated shine-boxer!

A week without Carp is like a day without sunshine, and a day without sunshine is like night.

Just wanted to let youse guys know that my daughter and son in law are going to the game tonight. Please pray for their safety!!!!
Sorry about the loss Carpie, thats a sad way to start off a forced vacation
Ah… It’s a profit deal. Takes the pressure off. Get your weight guessed right here! Only a buck! Actual live weight guessing! Take a chance and win some crap!
F you, F you, and F you! Who’s next?
Sorry about the personal family loss, Carp.
As regards Miami losing, had they been named “Florida,” and with it had better regional support, they would have won. “Florida Heat” – coming to an NBA franchise near you. And how tragic that “The best basketball team that money can buy” didn’t quite make it, this year. Maybe if the Yankees lend the Heat the Texiera’s, the Granderson’s, the A-Rod’s, and the Sabbatical’s of the world, they could do better. I mean, whoever heard of investing 500 billion dollars in a basketball team and not at least being able to fix the final result? Something is wrong with this picture. What, the NBA is out of dishonest referees, already? What kind of story is a pedestrian team like Dallas winning it all? Jason (are you Kidding me) Kidd on the way out the career door, that is all we have to fall back on until training camp? These are hard times.
I am down for “Manitoba Mush” (as in “Mush, you huskies), as the new, exciting regional name for the transplanted Atlanta franchise. Can’t overlook the regional support factor, it being so critical to a team’s success. God forbid the “Winnipeg Jets” name from resurfacing. I mean, the 15 people living in igloos up north of Winnipeg would NEVER attend a Winnipeg Jets game, we just know it.
Dr. Hfuhruhurr: But there’s only one other person I’d trust to perform this operation — Beckerman!
Dr. Brandon: Well Dr. Beckerman was murdered in Europe! You know that!
Dr. Hfuhruhurr: Exactly! Not only is he dead, he’s six thousand miles away!
CALLING THE “CLEVELAND NATIVE AMERICANS”:
Will you please just mail in tonight’s mesmerized, robotic, spaced-out, zombie-like, going through the motions, losers-complex loss to the New York Yankees, instead of showing up for the game at Yankee Stadium (physically – we know not mentally or spiritually) so that a few thousand die-hard Yankee fans can actually spend an evening at home with their family?
Thank you.
Ahh – got it, just figured out the problem with the Cleveland American League baseball team – the name is all wrong! Let’s go with…
“Ohio Native American.” Screw this politically incorrect Cleveland Indians garbage.
How about the politically incorrect Detroit Tigers?
Boom Boom
now tell us how you REALLY feel about regional team names!

LOL NYR_FAN!
Best movie ever!
Hahaha! Yup, C3, best movie ever! A favorite!!
One wonders had the Heat won if it would have earned the title of this blog…
In a sport where momentum means nothing from game-to-game, it shouldn’t make a difference what the finals format is. That doesn’t change the fact that I prefer the 2-2-1-1-1 as well. The 2-3-2 is fine for the NBA though. The games are fixed. Who cares?
wow this is Jason Kidd’s first NBA title! Hard to believe… seems like he’s been around forever!
Second all-time in the NBA in assists, and third in three-point field goals made and in steals. He could pass the great Michael Jordan in the steals category if he comes back for the 2011-12 season.
Carp, if you need/want a gofing partner, I am available to play hook-ee and join you.

Morning ILB and all!!
LW
no chunnel love on yesterday’s post eh?
Carp
best of luck with everything and sorry about your personal stuff!
Go Nucks Go!!
I hope the Nucks close it out tonight just to see Rome hoist the cup in Boston after that total BS suspension.

Chunnel love, wicky?
btw, LW3H, nice job on the write-up although it could have had more Brodeur jokes…just saying. :D
Sad tidings, Carp. Hopefully you will get some serenity over the course of the week and rejuvenate yourself for life back at the blog. All the best.
SUP, BONEHEADZ?!?!?!?!?
LW
you seemed to be slamming all the French Canadiens on the nucks yesterday (ala milbury cherry esque) and was wondering if the chunnel had really high tolls all of a sudden from the UK going into France?
The writeup was good! I am a bit concerned about the quantity of energy drinks you are ingesting though…
Today I got a spun salad at Hale & Hearty Latona. Broccoli, Tofu, Onions (red), Cucumbers, Corn and Carrots (shredded) topped with a honey mustard vinaigrette. One the side, you guessed it: PopChips – Cheddar Potato.
Family Love Michael.
The tofu kind of ruins it for me. The tofu kind of ruins it for me. But I’m giving you a point.
Alls I know is that we’re having a Lebanese (my favorite cuisine) feast for my birthday this weekend! Woo-hoo! Food!
lunch for me was two chicken samiches and a diet coke along with some sour cream and onion chips!
yes, they had mayo on them!!
Wicky, you get a point anyway. Free points day!
Anyone who posts what they had for lunch gets a point regardless of the quality of their meal!
FREE LATONA LUNCH POINTS!
Oh.. wicky.. why did you have to say that?
I DESPISE MAYO. But, you’re wicky. So you still get a point. If you were anyone else, your points would have been rescinded.
Marinated chicken panini with tomato, arugula, mozzarella, roasted red peppers and pesto mayo/side salad with ranch dressing. Yum!
Mama point! Mama point!
Btw, go Nucks!
I will happily give my point to the very deserving mama!!
I will give MY point to Mama also.
She gets 3 points! She’s catching up to Sally.
hey, it seems I got two points from Latona! That gives me 4!!!
uh oh, tied with me now!
4!?
How many does Sally have?
According to my table.. only one!
This must be a mistake!
Lost case…..Sigh…
I would like to introduce a referendum to give Sally an immedaite 300 points.
ilb – what happened!?
You said mama point twice. That’s two. That’s my story and I’m sticking with it.
Sorry ilb…:(
lost case? courtroom? luggage? glasses?
I was referring to this place as a lost case, lol….
No, no, Mama. You get your two points. I was saying Sally only had one point.
The referendum needs seconds and thirds in order for it to pass.. but even if it doesn’t, I’ll give Sally the points anyway.
LOL! ilb, you mean lost cause!!!! I thought you lost a patient!!!!!
Thanks Latona. Heck, I say Sally 400 points, even if she doesn’t eat lunch!
ilb! I thought you lost a patient too or were headed to jail. Either ORR.
Latona. I second and third the referendum. I also second your motion to change the rules and do whatever you want regarding Sally.
No, mama, I meant LOST CASE. As in MENTAL CASE.
ilb, I love ya, but nobody knew that’s what you were trying to say :)
There are lunch contest rules? I must have missed that memo.
motion tabled…motion passed
ilb – are you the mentalist?
Mama, don’t tell me how to live my life. I knew that was what ilb meant..
No slamming of French-Canadians here, wicky. The place of birth of Burrows and Lapierre is completely independent from their jackwagonnery.
Mama – don’t get all angry because you didn’t know about the rules. They were clearly laid out on that day when we made up the contest. Since then they have been memorialized somewhere in the collective brain of this blog. If I wasn’t so lazy I would find the post for you. But I am lazy so you will have to find it yourself.
Main Rule – Sally wins.
Latona, take a point away from you for being a liar! :)
Holy hysterical, check this chick out…...’I want to put them on rainbows?” WTB!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTTwcCVajAc
LW
I know, I was just giving you the business because you are my favorite LW3H here!
Now you accuse me of being a liar?
NO SOUP FOR YOU!
Also, no lunch points.
How am I supposed to find that post!!!???? LOL at “the collective brain of this blog.”
I like earlier when Latona said “Don’t tell me how to live my life.” That was awesome.
Fine, I’m going to start my own dinner contest then!!!! Bwwa haaa haaa!
It is a collective brain. Ilb uses 6%, Latona 1% and the rest of us share 1%. The other 92%, like all brains, remains unused.
I have to agree Manny…:) I give credit where it’s due…..
mama
whoa! WTF on that chick? I wonder if she loves cats? Even the “different kind of cats” torts always refers to?
Mama,
I’ll give you all your points back if you play in my contest.. :)
Hey, I use at least 2 percent of mine!
Then again, I’m here discussing this gibberish with you all, so maybe not. Sigh, this just ain’t my day :)
Accusations are flying! FOOOOOOOOD FIIIIIIIGHT!!!
Mama – you use 2% of the 1% that we all share. Just for reference I am using .00000001%. That makes you smart.
OK, Latona, I will, but only if I get an extra point :)
wicky, I know!!! I can’t believe she’s left it up! I love cats, too, but I don’t want to be within 50 yards of a guy who finds that attractive! It only makes it better that her voice is like a 3-year-old’s!
Manny, LOL! OK all, I need a pre-game nap. See you all later and Go Nucks!
Anyone see the adorably adorable momcat-kitten video? They spoke of it on a radio program not too long ago..
a wicky…..Latona, I did. Played it about 70 times….:) And it’s gotten about a jillion hits!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw4KVoEVcr0
He’s a male bimbo…He’s a mimbo!
That video just made me forgive you all for today’s mishigas…
Go Nucks Go!!
Anyone home?
Let’s Go Timmy Thomas!!! Conn Smythe baby!
NYR, you get a lunch point for the hell of it.
I would also like Thomas to win the Conn Smythe. In defeat, however.
Thanks Latona!! I had a turkey sandwich with mayo, though…LOL!
mayo rocks!
Go Nucks, go!
It’s Go Time! (almost)
Looks like Malhotra & Higgins will hoist the Cup tonight or in a couple of days. Glad for Manny but Higgins can kiss my carcillo.
Latona: You might be interested to know that my ex-girlfriend hated mayonnaise. So did her brother. Luckily I inquired as to why….the reason was that when she and her brother were little their father told them that mayonnaise was made from native americans. Their father was an evil genius.
Lol. That’s pretty funny though.
My hatred for mayo reaches so far that I cannot eat anything with melted white American Cheese; it reminds me of mayo.
And ride on, ilb! Go Nucks go!
The Cup is in the house.
OK, let’s get this party started…..My heart can’t take a game 7. Go Nucks!
just fyi, I used to, still kinda do hate mayo, but not the really good fresh kind, just the bottled glop.
here boys and girls.
go nucks go. end it tonite.
prediction bruins 4-1
LOL @ eric and his bipolar prediction
Are we going to hear more Thornton worship tonight?
cccp
what am i suppose to do. i believe the nucks cant win in bost but i am rooting for them
Hey everyone!
Go Nucks! My dad and friend are both fans of the Bruins, but I’m routing for Vancouver. I told them both that no way is Boston winning tonight. The Cup will go to the Nucks!!
Loved that mama cat and kitten video Mama! It was so precious.
Looked like Rene Rancourt was trying to sell a stash of fake Rolexes just then.
that sure seems like an awfully bushleague move right before singing another country’s anthem. what a dope.
its all good, eric… it always makes me laugh the way you approach predictions :)
Anyone see the guy in the Rangers shirt during the anthem?
think it was sather?
Bush-league? Is that you, Miami?
John Amirante’s better…
I hope Ace Frehley is still lined up to do the anthems in Game 7.
WTB was that?
Classy Boston. Real classy…
knee injury
its all on the sedins
oy. not a very promising start.
Let’s Go Bruins!!!
Let’s Go Canucks!!!!!!
I said BRUINS!
There’s one!
Nice shot
pull luongo
Luongo’s glove don’t work so well in this time zone.
oy vey… here we go
Good guys score!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1-0 Boston
cant get beat short side
Thomas is probably thinking “I could stop that”.
Luongo was on his knees way before the shot was taking…
There’s two!
Wow, seriously pull Loooooooo
luongo is a freaking loser
WOW…. no words.
Oh. Dear.
BOSTON BREWIN!!
Aha aha I LIKE IT!
Luongo really gives them up in bunches. Like grapes.
Luongo should probably start walking back to Vancouver.
2-0 Boston
:)
Score some more…
Shawn Thornton was the catalyst for both those goals.
I guess Luongo had all his saves in the other stick.
just like the pens did the bruins will win game 7 on the road after home team dominated
luongo and lebum james two freaking losers
Good to see Horton out an aboot.
Dumb penalty
Moron Edler.
Horton looks great
Shoot that puck!!!!!!!!!!
Bunches.
LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!
he never gave them a chance what a loser
Ginger Jesus coming in.
So Longo Luongo!
3-0
LMAO @ Edzo! “you gotta get him out of there!
Aha aha I don’t like it! Aha aha I fuggin love it!!
He should honestly wear a brown paper bag over his head now.
unreal…
Nobody on this Canucks team deserves a Conn Smythe.
Cory Schneider? Hello?
Were people really serious the other day talking about Luongo for Conn Smythe? LOL!
Kabs!!!
LOL Kaberle’d
DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES!!!???
Looks like the same guy.
Put Luongo back, lol
Ping!
4-0
Beautiful!!!!!!!! 2 more and Luongo comes back.
Put Looo back in
what a disgrace blow up the nucks they have know mental fortitude. they suck how are they 117 pt team. no depth and the sedins who do crap
I’ve never seen a team play this bad in multiple games in the SCF.
I’m gonna boudreau.
Nice deflection. I wonder if Ryder will do that for us next season??
How long before they start burning cars in Vancouver?
Wow, what a game….
Wow..
Nucks benefitted from a weak division. I did a study earlier in the playoffs about how #1 seeds have tended to be overrated.
Now, they’ll go back to Vancouver and Luongo will have a 50 save shutout in a 1-0 2OT win.
Glad I wasn’t reviewing this game. I’d have missed three goals writing stuff down.
Manny, e-mail.
Trade everybody, eric…
CT,
Care to share the findings of this study?
It’ll be hilarious when the Bruins continue their trend of the past couple of years and end up missing the playoffs next year.
Latona, in short #1 seeds tend to come from weaker divisions with less playoff teams. Cup winners come from stronger divisions with more playoff teams.
How did you determine this?
- good morning my neighbors!—ahh F you
– YES! YES! F YOU TOO!
Sorry for the loss Carp… Both of you for a week and for your family. Hope the meetings with Mr. T go well.
P.S. To mock the Sedins like Lebum and Wade mocked Dirk, the Bruins will not score goals in front of reporters.
when you play oilers flames wild and avs 6 times that adds about 25 pts. should be a 95 point team.
either way i want to punch the daylights out of luongo. hes a loser
go rangers sick of all these other teams
Anybody know where Roscoe, NY is?
Latona. Email!!
I looked at the # of teams from the #1 seeds division that made the playoffs and likewise for Stanley Cup winners. I think Cup winners on average came from divisions that had 1 more team that made it. More thanna couple of #1 seeds came from divisions where they were the only playoff team like Vancouver this year and the Caps last year.
Thomas = Vezina Conn Monster
CT – I think it would be that #1 seeds usually don’t win. They can’t be overrated. The system isn’t designed to choose who should won in a best of 7 series against BLANK. the system just selects teams based on seeding. Which is based on records. So they can’t be overrated.
If you used a strength of schedule multiplier/deflator it would show that #1 seeds would tend to be overrated.
Just passed it yesterday, Julie. It’s about halfway up Rte 17, between Monticello and Binghamton. Famous Roscoe Diner on the right.
CT, I recall a certain team in ‘94 finals sucking for multiple games (5 and 6).
Thomas is so tits, you guys!
conn smythe if anyone but thomas there should shut the sport down
So, Roscoe is probably around 2 hours or so from Albany then? I’m invited to a wedding down there in August.
Not doubting that the NW was pretty weak this year (though part of the reason the other teams were non-playoff teams was because they played the Canucks six times each). But it’s a bit redundant to suddenly claim the Canucks are way overrated when they are still currently one game away from winning it all, no?
CT: Is a multiplier deflator the thing the doctors use to shock your heart when It stops?
Well, that was a wild first period!
They could be overrated and still win. But being a 117 point team probably overstates their quality.
i would say a minimum of 2 hours:
http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Roscoe&state=NY
lw3h
of the 16 periods played so far they have been outplayed in 13 exclude the 3 3rd per in games 1 2 and game 5.
the sharks in game 1 and game 5 outplayed them. if the sharks dont blow 5 consecutive pp in game 4 and tie series who knows.
i am not saying the nucks are bad but the media has this team on pedastal like they couldnt lose this cup. i picked bruins in 6 so i may be game off but my point is the sedins are no shows and there goalie is whole career has been a headcase. when things go bad they spiral out of control always
Hey youse, did they get outscored collectively 16-1 in 7 periods of play (in Boston).
CT,
What about dynasties, such as the Islanders and the Oilers of the 80’s? They were more often than not at the top of their division. Calgary won the cup as a division leader in that decade as well.
Roscoe looks quite a ways from Albany. The directions say around 2 hours and 27 minutes. How are the roads down there? Are they your typical mountain windy roads?
So CT you’re saying the ratings for the Cup seeding should be similar to the way bookies make odds? I like it this way because then you get more upsets.
Latona I used the current 1-8 playoff format only, in place since 1994.
Good First Period.
Keep scoring…
peverly=dive
love how rome can throw a late but clean hit DURING PLAY and get 4 games, but the bruins can use constant after the whistle stick work and not even get a penalty…WHERE THE HELL IS TIKI?
LOL!!
http://oi54.tinypic.com/xbae74.jpg
Wow! What a first period! Looks like Luongo has a mental block about playing in Boston.
Looks like we may our 7 game series after all – then the long, hot summer begins…..
home ice advantage mean much??
jimbo
summer sucks
Tiki?
May get our 7 game series…..
OMG!!!!! LMFAO!!!!! CCCP AMAZING!
Aside from all the girls in their skimpy summer outfits – yes, it does!!
wholly crap cccp, that is LMFAO HILARIOUS!!
eric
Are the Canucks what you might say is a “true” 117-point talent team? No.
Do they suck, have no depth, no mental fortitude, a complete headcase in goal and have been completely outplayed for 95% of the last two series (which they won 4-1 and are not yet tied 3-3)? No, no, no, no and no.
wicky
Hope you’re not talking about the Edler hit with the Peverley=dive remark.
lw
as much as a dive as sedin when chara knocked him over in the first!
as much of, not as much as…sorry
Schneider hurt again?
wicky
You are joking, right? Not a huge hit per se, but it was an icing race and Edler made solid contact while Peverley was reaching for the puck. Even Don Cherry could see that (even if only because it gave him the opportunity to call a Swede a chicken).
If that was a dive, I’m Brendan Witt.
so you think sedin “dove” when chara hit him?
Ping
We’ve got a little pulse
my point is sedin didn’t dive on the hit from chara, chara knocked him down but it was called a dive, so everything must be a dive!
LW: did you take a nap today? what time is it GMT? 2am?
lw
couldnt disagree with you more.
whos the depth higgins who couldnt do crap for us lapierre torres tanner glass oreskovich
Boychuk getting away with one there
aha aha I like it aha aha. Winner Winner Stanley Cup Celebration Dinner. Ovah. 7..8..9..10 out fer count. Dam it feels good to be gangstah. a real gangstah ass nigga play cards right. Real gangstah ass nevah runs fuc kin mouth cause real gangstah ass niggas dun start fight.
Sing a happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, song..
Can’t we all just get along?
um….......Carp?
“Hey kids it’s me….you thought that I was dead…but when I fell over I just broke my leg and got a hemorrhage in my head!” – Clown, Billy Madison
No nap for me. Might explain why I missed the point of wicky’s slightly obtuse argument. (Hard to tell when you say Rome’s hit was clean in the same breath, but apologies…)
eric
The 4th line ain’t much (So what? It doesn’t play.) Higgins, Torres and Lapierre (to a lesser extent) are NHL 3rd liners who have contributed as such.
Tiki? err….Teddy?
We rule the world the world ours. rejoyce to sky we are king. 6 champions N.H.L. hub
I think it’s pretty obvious wins the Conn Smythe.
How many energy drinks have you had LW?
Who wins….
Brad Marchand?
Marchand playing like he has is how I imagine Callahan would play in the finals.
Todd White
Timmy Thomas Smythe Boblongo lose Lundquist lose Cup we win aha aha i like it aha aha
Mrs. Eminger?
lw
no reason to apologize, just though calling a dive on sedin on that particular play was as ridiculous as calling peverly for one. I do feel the rome hit was clean, just late. he got 4 games because of the praying mantis.
how many games does boychuk get for riding a defenceless player into the boards? I mean if we are pansifying the game this badly.
ilb
you ok? you mentioned todd white!
LOL! I love that “Loss Of The Ring” picture.
Nucks are playing so bad they’re making Kaberle look good.
Wicky if you are saying the refereeing stinks and the consistency on disciplinary action is bad, well then there is nothing new in the NHL.
Just part way through my only energy drink, Manny. The picture was actually a whole playoffs worth.
There’s a balancing act between staying awake and being able to get to sleep quickly once the game has ended. OT really messes things up…
What I meant to say is that Todd White has similar chances of winning Conn Smythe As anyone on either team, excluding Thomas.
Really Doc, you think the Bruins would do the Kaberle trade again?
Me too, Orr! I was hysterical laughing when I saw that!!
speaking of oreskovich, isn’t he the one who fought gilroy after he hit prospal I think a couple of seasons ago?
An open letter:
From: The Bench
To: R. Luongo
Message: In the words of Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters, “Tonight, you belong…to me.”
Oreskovich? Isn’t he from Swedonia?
olga
that is exactly what I am saying
ilb
sorry, now I get it (I think I need one of LW’s energy drinks)...check your phone messages
LW
can I have one of your energy drinks?
Well, the good news is that hockey season will be extended to the latest possible date, June 15th.
Timmy thomas Cup smythe Champ Brew in Bruins. Let go BRuiNS. fe fi fo fum Bruins chew Nucks like gum
sorry if I botched the spelling
ilb
that is good news
June 15th is so late, the Islanders have already been mathematically eliminated from next year’s playoffs.
Isles are already on their 4th choice goalie for next season.
lw
LMFAO!
and ctb
And June 16th is the start of buy out period. Should be fun. No breaks this year, eh..
Gilroy vs Oreskovich: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13eoyEC8RmI
Prospal clearly dived…
this could be the first series with no handshakes at the end
Messier on CBC right now.
Julie, windy, hilly, dark roads, lots of dead animals. go in daylight if you can.
isn’t anybody going to hand out a box to the asshat Bruins fan who was nowhere to be found around and since Game 5?
when was the last time the Stanley Cup finals ended after the NBA? anybody?
lw
thanks for the link and clearly this ref would have called that a dive (lol)
If the Canucks win, this is arguably the 3rd team Messier led to the Cup, since he was captain of the team that stunk badly enough to allow them to draft the Sedins.
were there NBA playoffs on?
Think I read somewhere that 2002 was the last time the NHL season ended after the NBA’s.
I think it’s a special situation, youse. This one would a waste of a shinebox
I thought the penalty on bergeron at the end of the 2nd was a pretty weak call as well.
nucks are done.
lose game 7 2-1
Would be….geez..Can I have some of that drink, LW?
Just texted you, Wicky
how about a mulching?
The 2002Red Wings were a true #1 seed.
ilb
got it and response on its way
I thought the 94 rangers were a true number one seed
Them too.
And the 2002 Stanley Cup Final only went five games. Must’ve ended after the NBA Finals because of the Olympics extending the season (and the NBA Finals being a sweep).
would have been nice at 0-0 after you fanned you loser
Look who’s arrived from Swedonia.
Europansy makes it 4-1. Do not plan a funeral for the Canucks. I’d still give them above average chance of winning game 7 on home ice..
Stars in ‘99 were a true #1 seed…
Was it in?
Hold the phone….
Nope.
Where’s Joe M saying That’s In!!!
As I do not expect a miracle on ice tonight, I’ll calling it a day. Tired and cranky…...blech!
Hansen could’ve shot that again if he didn’t stop to celebrate.
It’s ok, mama…We all get to do it together again on Wednesday
LW

Isn’t June 14th also the day that Vancouver comes out with their new uniform?
Now I have seen it all!!
Olga,
Vancouver has ANOTHER new uniform? This will be their third since the lockout..
EPIC!!!
Now I have not seen it all!!
17 down 37 more to go! I’ll be over 70 years old next time the Rangers win the cup!
Olga,
Vancouver has ANOTHER new uniform? This will be their fourth since the lockout..
Whatever happens in this one, it’s been another damn good Final series, as have all of them since the lockout, other than the Ducks’ win (which was OK, since I had money on them…)
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Really hate the geico caveman
How old will Lundqvist be when you’re 70, CCCP?
Bruin on high Bruin dun cry Bruins got eye Bruin gun fry Bruin see bye
Yeah, this time it’s going to have an older nude female posing on a SUV on the front of the jersey.
They will change the name to the VanCougars.
Do I even need to say anything about the 10:47 post? Didn’t think so!
Really hat the geico caveman
lol LW
Hank will be around 69 ;)
Wholly old
Hate not hat
Nah, Wicky, it’s pretty obvious. It’s going to be a long week. Goodnight, ‘heads…
That puck was in! I think it was in!
Night, ilb.
Hat not hate

No handshakes
Sedin was just taking the punches?? EUROPANSY!!!

The Boston guys are all starting to resemble the Geico caveman.
Night ILB and yes it is!
BUSHLEAGUE!!!
Best of 1 on Wednesday.
Seven it is
The “morn” comment was not me. We have an imposter.
I’m afraid, not only one..
I’m afraid, not only two..
Nuks in 7. Bruins will be shaved by dull ax. Rangers will get what they wanted at drafts and July, 1. Life is beautiful, once again!
As soon as Carp away, we get a poser
Yeah, what was Sedin auditioning for, the part of a speedbag in a gym!? What’s with taking all those punches without even trying to throw one back!?
Hmm,.. where is Carpovski with an ax or shinebox, when is really needed…Fingers are itching.
4everanger June 13th, 2011 at 11:21 pm
I’m afraid, not only two..
Not so obviously, but it’s not me. What a pathetic, impotent cowards, taken our nicknames.
I’m not at home, so I couldn’t comment at all during the action, except for between periods.
Carp should have assigned a “deputy” who would be able to do what’s necessary while he’s on enforced leave…
I thought Blogmama with sunday newspaper and all rights is our enforser. Isn’t she?
Somebody “shot the sheriff”, but they didn’t shot a deputy… did they?
I did not know that – is that still the case? Mama?
Hello-o-o! Hey, behind a counter!
From an impeccable source, the asshat Bruins fan has been banned.
It never fails. Every one of these jackwagons eventually breaks the rules and gets his sorry aasen banned. One of those rules is “no imposters.” So long, jackwagon.
Now go get your shine box.
Ooops. Forgot this:

How can those Yanquis lose to the Ohio Native American, 1-0? The fix was in. See the magic of those regional names? They make Charles Atlas out of Woody Allen.
Good news from the impeccable source!!
Shinebox 1, Aasenhat 0!
Oh God, my lady friend in Vancouver is going to fertilize the entire provence of B.C. if the “B.C. Canuck” blow it. She goes to all their home games. This is one home game coming up, she might wish she missed. Bruins got me worried. They look like they are on an emission.
Happy anniversary – New York Rangers, Stanley Cup Champions. MATTEAU, MATTEAU, MATTEAU – And the Rangers have one more hill to climb, baby. Still amazing. Never gets old with the passage of time.
Hey youse for PRESIDENT!
Get your shinebox!
