I’d still put LA as the overall favorite, being they haven’t lost anyone. Their defense overall is still better than the Rangers as they have more offensive ability. They also have a better 3rd line as of now, unless Doan comes to NY or they add another C.
Yup – Kings should be number 1 in odds.
The Islanders will never have a better record than the one they have right now. :)
Morning folks,
How about an over under game…based on a 60 game lockout short season
Richards points 55
Nash goals 27
Kreider goals 20
Hank shutouts 5
I got under, under, over, over
Book
How about an over under on Mike Rupp individual lockeroom player pep talks.
I got 1 ( himself ) .
Odds to win Stanley Cup without Mike Rupp 100/1.
Good morning, Sally!
Good morning, boneheads!
LMGO @ Rich!
Rupp = Cup(p)
I dont believe it! Serena and the Fed man are just wondrous! How awesome would it be if Feds and Serena both win Wimbledon, then Olympic gold at Wimbledon. Its the last thing Feds needs to complete his resume.
Fedotenko is in London?
Hah, ilb! It was a total typo. Rich :)
Maybe we should have an ascending order: Rick (me), Rich, Richie, Richest.
“Columbus Blue Jackets 100/1”
LOL
Tiki – is Serena playing federerererererer for the men’s gold?
It’s a man baby, yeah
Test her! And test your spell-check, “freind.” I’ve been looking at that abomination for 6 months.

Cooscoos, my Brutha – what be the werd?

Wow! Just checked some posts here and some squeamish and fastidious came up…
So much for low rank “spelling police”, who can’t spell right his/her moniker, “cousecouse”? However, it doesn’t matter really, – as an all food, this one also inevitably turns to carrsillo anyway… Already did, I believe.
“this is imported polyester”
kooz-kooze
Wow. Carolina went from 50-1 to 22-1 for getting Semin. Maybe the Rangers picked up the wrong guy?
“i wish that i was jesse’s friend…why cant i find a woman like that?”
Oh, and if you insist on deliberate use of double “coos” as it is, you should know (you do, of course), that meaning of coos is murmuring sound of a dove or pigeon when carsilloing, or a sound resembling it, yours is like double drop. So, it is appropriate too…

Am I missing some hockey news? Or is it still the worst blog out there?
ilb – it was never the not worst…..more like liverwurst….
if you were in 4th grade, what would be funnier….randy johnson, harry johnson, or jimmy’s johnson?
if you find none funny, that’s fine two….Reuben Fine
e3, among all your obvious talents, gift for poetry – The most amazing and useful here…
Harry Johnson. Easily.
think i will go gallop on my pummel horse
4ever – i am a modern day robby shakespeare…..thank you for your kind words…
uncle moe – i am partial to the ex-cowboy coach….. Jimmy’s johnson – he always seemed to shrink in cold weather games…
Not to compete e3, but rather to dedicate to you for the love of high poetry and Shakespeare:
Alas, poor Coos! We knew him well, oh, Eddie, my half brother.
Clown, of infinite jest, when comes to art of bother.
He hath bore hated blog on his untiring back,
But was advised to go, hope never will come back.
His real name was Couse,- with borrowed brain from goose.
“he always seemed to shrink in cold weather games…”
Excellent.
4-ever – its all a ruse, i be your muse, reading the news, singing the blues, tellin the truths, taking a snooze, my brutha cooz….big john tooz…..pay your dues…
anyone see my floor exercise?
i just dont know where to begin…..accidents will happen, its always hit and run…....there are so many fish in the sea….
Alas poor Yorick. Knew him well. Tried to score, but tripped and fell. Very mellow, fourth line fellow. Can’t light the light, but maybe he can fight.
there was a man from nantucket…...
up against your will….thru the thick and thin…..you will wait until, you give yourself to him…..
i am falling in love, why does she say…..hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry…...i tried hard not to get upset….
What is that rag sticking out of Valdespin’s pocket? Or is it a pocket turned inside out? Is it a fashion statement? Is it toilet paper? Tell the truth!
beat boy, beat boy, hit that perfect beat boy….
coos, do you know anybody with that affliction? because if you did, you wouldn’t think it was funny, trust me.
ilb, worst blog on the internets.
To the best blogfather of the worst blog on the internet ever, my unsolicited piece of advice: do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with that idiot’s life experience.
I cant, I cant, I cant stand losing…....i cant, i cant, i cant stand losing…..your brother is gonna kill me and he’s 6 ft ten….......
i tried to discover
something that would make me sweeter
dont refrain
thank you, 4ever.
Oh, I missed the affliction part. Incidentally, there is no plural for Tourette, spellmaster.
ilb – what would prescribe for a sore throats?
what would you
here’s a news flash walter chronkite

Not Bad for Rick Nash…He went from a team dead last in odds to 2nd best odd to win the Cup.
well, its the addition of Nash that made us second best…or so they say.
line combos anyone?
(NBC spoiler alert)
Silver medal for Rupp!
The British are done on PKs again! It never ends well for the Brits in PKs! Thank goodness it wasnt Cleverley or Giggsy that cost ‘em!
Yes, as a matter of fact I do know two people with Tourette’s. One of them I play golf with occasionally which can be mildly disconcerting. I got used to him and do not avoid him when we meet at the course and he invites me to join him. Newcomers, assigned sometimes to fill out a foresome, are forewarned by him in a friendly way, and most oblige.
Another Tourette’s sufferer whom I know better, and not through golf, recommended a novel to me which has a main (first-person) character with Tourette’s impulses, “Motherless Brooklyn,” by Jonathan Lethem. And it IS very funny, in addition to having won the National Book Critics Award for Fiction.
cooscoos
this is a hockey blog! keep your sophomoric posts to yourself! :)
Since it is almost September, I now consider myself to be a Junior!
yeah “almost” September… “almost” time to plan for new years party! you’re absolutely right!
OK, coos. Point taken. As long as you’re not mocking those poor people. As you can tell, it’s pretty close to me.
Another lame-o. You and ilb should have a shootout to see which one is lamer. Are you aware of the indisputable fact that half of the people you know are below average? And of that group, half of them are below even THAT meager average. Fight it out for Village Idiot.
Not mocking poor people with afflictions not of their own making, or anyone at all so long as they are somewhat polite. As I said before, Tourette’s does not affect intelligence. And that IS a worthwhile book.
The nature of this flowing blog can sometimes make it look like the blogger is responding to an intervening blog. Know that my last comment was directed to the Ruskie.
half of the people i know? how do you know who i know? and if i know half of the people you think i know – do they know who they are?
cooscoos
a-hole… you seem to be the only one who has any sort of problem with this blog… you have been rejected by every single poster on here. deal with it, Rod… say thanks that you even get any responses…speaking of which… i am going to go ahead and start ignoring you from now on…
don’t be a jackwagon, coos. I was making a fair point.
or maybe i should just flush you if you can’t play nice.
Not going to get into peeing contest. Your posts are self explanatory. And it started to sound awfully familiar. Lastly, for someone who’s constantly complaining about absence of cogent hockey discussion, I’m yet to see anything hockey related from you. Even once. Of any substance.
FLUSH!
ADDITION BY SUBTRACTION! OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT…
Hockey is for losers…. I am a winner
My my my my my my boogie shoes
Hmmm, my post is too short?
That is so not true !!!!
Strange as it seems, his musical dreams ain’t quite so bad….
Maureen – at least be clever….
Watching other people’s infinitive stupidity is very inspirational sometimes…as well as to see a pathetic brain’s work more reminiscent of bowel movement.
There is a fine line between clever and stupid.
4ever – 1 divided by 0 is a lot of stupid
What are the odds that Doan is a Ranger come camp?
I wanted them to trade for Ryan over Nash, but am glad we have Nash.
Doan would help the team, however, I still hope they don’t sign him and give Miller, Yogan, Thomas, etc. get a chance.

Seldom is heard a discouraging word about hockey.
Sorry, Steve C…
It will be a better time, a better time it will be…
I think cooscoose is very entertaining as compared with most. So, sue me.
Walter, you request will be granted in Nurnberg.
Ha!

Just home from the annual family reunion. Lots of e3 vibing excited about the Nash and the kreider. A little bit of pimping too with the clown show bush league nonsense. Kept it together though.
Is this thing on?
Messier for Callahan
Leetch for Sauer
Not bad, Sather….
Can’t we talk about hockey??.
Yeah, E3, thing is on, just barely (no pun), but Carp killed it with the incomprehensible bookie stuff from the outset, of course he will respond that I hate everybody. that’s easier than any real response, but he is the blogfather and I must defer.
I have my favorites here, like ilb, NYR, tiki, sally, misterD, manny and others to numerous to mention, who are inviting each other to a remote area of the US where they live in a NYR monasteries, to meet and eat. Other things that Jonathan Swift would have noticed here is Manny’s non-sequitur cry : Politics alert !! Why, Manny, oh, why? After all this stuff about Mr Betman and Mr Fehr, it seems we are in it up to our necks and it will set the sport back a decade.
Just saying…
Hello, Newman…
Cant sleep again.
Was just thinking about Super Bowl XLVI again. What an enormous game with enormous ramifications. I just remember being sick for the 2 weeks leading up to the game. Was even sick during the Giants/49ers game because I knew it just had to be New York and Boston again. And in the end, all the sickness, the worry, stress, it was all worth it.
I just sat and stood in the same spot all game, never said a word. Had one brother to my left sitting in a chair with his legs kicked up on the desk, another brother sitting to my right on a reclining chair. Barely a word was spoken for the entire 4 hours. Nearly complete silence. We all knew what was at stake. I dont remember which brother did, but one started cursing out Ahmad Bradshaw for going into the endzone.
Memories that will last a lifetime.
And then, when that final throw from Tom Brady was in the air, it felt like a lifetime. And then it hits the ground, and I just start crying, and my 2 brothers get up yelling like maniacs, walk over to me, and embrace me.
Odds that a guest blogger will write something worth reading: 100/1
Odds that one of you boneheads tells them “great read” : 5/1
