I slid through the oncoming lanes and into the opposite ditch without hitting anything. Needless to say, if I had hit a vehicle or any solid object on the side of the road, I would've died instantly. That accident shook me up for a long time (and made me slow down, obviously).
 
a couple funny notes:

one guy on yahoo had a great point after game 2 when talking about the series being over. "What's it say to you that the Wings are hoping that Pittsburg splits at home so that they can win the cup at home in Game 5?"


also, anyone post this yet? I guess it's almost locked-- Redwings vs Blackhawks, outdoor game at Wrigley Field on Jan1st.
 
"I love how the Wings were up 2-0 and the series was over. Then suddenly the Pens eek out a victory, still beoing out shot like 106-65 and outscored 9-3 and the media is all doom and gloom for the Wings and wondering if they've blown it.:lol "


Pittsburgh has been outshot a lot during the playoffs and has a tendency to sit back when they get a lead, like this past game. I haven't really heard any doom and gloom about the red wings but I guess I haven't been listening to the same stuff. Game 3 for the penguins was played so much better than the first two I guess they think they don't count as much? I'm not sure but what I do know is GO PENGUINS! :D

The average fan probably won't watch if there isn't some drama... It's commonsense.

Shit man, that is good fortune right there.

I lost control of my car once and spun across 6 or 7 lanes of traffic on an interstate highway (near the Port of Los Angeles so it's very busy) and nobody hit me at all. I took me probably a good 10 minutes to even realize what had happened when my car came to a stop in the dirt.

For most hockey fans, the death of Vancouver Canucks defenseman Luc Bourdon on Thursday in a motorcycle crash was a sad but distant tragedy. For Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kristopher Letang, Bourdon's death meant the loss of a former roommate and good friend, someone he had spoken with merely a few days ago and had planned to train and vacation with this summer. Bourdon, 21, was killed when his motorcycle collided with a truck near his home in Shippagan, Canada. He was Vancouver's first-round pick and 10th overall in the 2005 entry draft.

Letang said that he and Bourdon had discussed the motorcycle in their last phone conversation and that Bourdon had gotten the bike only three days ago according to the Los Angeles Times.

"We know it was dangerous, but he had fun with it. I know he didn't speed with it," said Letang, who roomed with Bourdon on the Val d'Or junior team and the Canadian national junior team. He just had, like, a bad move or something. Those things, you have, like, no second chance."

I didn't know Letang was a teenage girl, though it makes sense him being on the Pens and all.
 
Oh man, I'm feeling nervous. This game is HUGE. I hope the Pens come out firing and hitting, and can even this thing up.

Are you even watching the game?


Fuck, Hossa just hit the crossbar.

It's just that I didn't watch the first 3 games, and I heard the Pens were getting ALL the calls. And then surprise surprise, they get a power play off the bat.

HELLLLL YEAAAA. This game is gonna be good.

Bullshit. Go take your whining elsewhere.

Wings have had more PP's this series. Anyway, nice shot by Lids. Back to even.
 
"It's not my fault I had to choose between basketball and hockey.

And if anything, I'm a Patrice Bergeron fanboy. The Redwings are just doing God's work by knocking down Crosby."


Bullshit. People were making fun of how much the penguins were complaining about bad calls against them and red wings getting all the calls. What the hell have you been listening to?
 
the Pens are doing a great job skating to loose pucks and setting up chances so far, and Malkin looks great out there.

Wing fans should be a little worried...(for this game at least).
 
Pretty good first period by both teams. I'm just happy to see the Pens finally getting some shots on goal, and I hope Detroit continues the march to the penalty box.
 
Great first period by both teams.
Now if Detroit can just give Stuart, Draper and Lebda a decent slapping in the locker room maybe they can stop giving away pucks in their own zone.
I mean, Stuart in particular is a security risk every time he's on the ice, and Draper had like 4-5 missed passes in one or two shifts and then topped it all off by taking a completely unnecessary penalty.

Hossa has been fantastic this game. I would love to see him net another one tonight.

Yeah, other than both goalies, he's been the best player on the ice tonight. And Roberts is such a fucking beast for an old man, that hit on McCarty was hilarious. Malkin needs to relax or something because he just looks out of it. Possible he's playing with an undisclosed injury maybe?

I would like to believe that is the reason he has been playing so average, but I think he is likely just "out of it" like you suggested.
 
orpik rules. i think he may be my second favorite pens player now. you've been bumped eaton!
 
I've always loved Orpik. He had a rough go of it when the strike ended, but so did Gonchar. People are all over Gonchar's wang now, but Orpik is a rock defensively for us. It sucks we're gonna lose him.

Yeah, not looking forward to the inevitable loss of him, but we will have Eaton again until he gets injured and misses most of the season. :(


LET'S GO PENS!
 
Are you fucking kidding me? What the fuck are they doing, dilly dallying with the puck in their own zone like that. FUCK.
