Stop shitting on my team. Start shitting on my finger.
Can I just repeat how hilarious I find PITB?

Led by a two-point night from Mason Raymond, who can never do anything right, the Canucks scored more goals than the Dallas Stars like idiots, winning the game and giving everyone — the Department of Player Safety included, unfortunately — the impression that they might survive without Daniel in the short-term. It was an unacceptable effort, since the team was supposed to be playing without any effort at all. Instead, they screwed up big-time and played a sound road game[...]Here’s a sentence I never expected to write: with Daniel Sedin sidelined, Mason Raymond replaced him and the line didn’t miss a beat

You guys are in a tough spot with, what, 6 games remaining? Sharks have their destiny in their hands. Queens I think will take the division and hopefully get bounced in the first round again.

It will take very very specific circumstance for us to get a spot. We can earn it and after thinking about it last night I guess that's the best situation to be in as a young team. We're in control to a lesser extent.

Anyway, if King Henrik didn't vanish I'd pick whatever team faces the rangers first round. And then the second, etc.

If the Sharks can play well down this stretch we take the division I think.

If we keep alternating wins and losses then it's 8th/9th for sure.

I'd much rather play the 6th seed than the Blues. Hell, I'd rather they play Nucks than the Blues.

You want a guy w/ 792 points in 985 games? We'll trade you for Zetterberg.

You can keep Hejduk.
I actually knew who you were talking about without having to google it

Funny enough, I did sign him in NHL 12 when he was an UFA and he was pretty good, until I traded him because he started to suck.

Exactly why he should stay in Colorado.

Might as well take out the loser point while you are at it. Yes I know you can't really have no loser point if there are ties and what not.

I mean there is just so many things that would changed if we would speculate on no SO or no loser point, etc...

Believe it or not I was a fan. I'm wearing a Pens shirt from 1993 right now. They used Ed Belfour's image and placed a different mask on him for every team. Looks nothing like Barrasso.

I'm more comfortable with ties than SO's but I've always thought OT should be handled the same way it's handled post season. No loser points. 1 point for the winner works fine.

Hitchcock lies to himself and those around him about the trap just as he likely lies to himself about the shitty way he eats and takes care of himself. The best way to commit to anything shitty is by deluding yourself and others.

Anyway, not sure I'm gonna watch much tonight. Not a whole lot to get excited about. Maybe the Caps-Winnie game?

Buffalo-Rangers and Winnipeg-Washington sound pretty interesting IMHO.

Also, I keep refreshing twitter but NOTHING IS HAPPENING. "Duncan Keith" is trending in Canada LOL.

I actually thought last night's 0-0 game between LA and St Louis was really exciting. Good hitting. Lots of chances. Great goaltending. It was evenly matched.

I've been having a good time with Kid Icarus today actually. Picked it up on my way home earlier. Controls do suck though. It actually makes it good for breaks because you enjoy what you play, but don't want to play for very long.

Further fuel to keep the Duncan-Keith-News-hungry crowd going, a quote by Vigneault:

"We got a big two-minute power play off that hit from the same referee - remember last year when Daniel got punched six times in the face in the Boston series?" Vigneault said. "I seem to remember it was the same guy."
That guy was O'Halloran, who made no call when Boston forward Brad Marchand used Daniel's head as a punching bag in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup final.

OF COURSE YOU WOULD! AND I BET YOU ENJOYED THE VICTORY TOO!


Goaltending made it a good game. Sucks about the result though.

Boo! Do the controls break the game or is it something you'll eventually get through?

O I'll definitely get through it and it's fun. The only thing is it isn't really comfortable for long periods of time and it's definitely a handheld at home game, which can be annoying sometimes. I keep it at my desk in the stand next to the computer at home and every once in a while I take a break from writing/reading to play a stage. I think I'm on stage 4.....
