I like how you tried to be positive, but then it all fell apart by the 10-ton sarcastic:
Meanwhile, our 18th ranked PP will go up against the best PK in the league. Happy Monday.
Hey, but at least you tried. That shows that you’re growing as a person.

Here’s my positive thought for the day: I won’t be able to watch the game tonight! …..crap, I’m not very good at this either.

Do we still have to be positive in the open thread, I mean I’m usually sarcastic and cynical when they are winning.

My positive thought is i get to watch this game, but that is also directly related to the negative of possible injury and mental trauma as a result of watching said game.

I gave away three free tix to watch the Kings-Leafs game to stay home for this game. In my defense: (1) I get free Kings tix all the time and (2) it’s the Kings people. I stand by it being a positive love-fest for the Avs.

Boods gave up a rebound but why was no Avs defense shadowing Bouchard ready to level him when he got near the puck.
Is it just me or do the Minny helmets look more Teal than green. It’s really annoying me,.

Speaking of A's
Is it Lappy, Stastny and Hejduk wearing the A’s and no one wearing the C? Still beats the stupid rotational captaincy Minnisota has.

Wouldn’t it just devalue the captaincy. With the one captain like most teams you at least know, hey Sakic’s captain or Lidstrom but with the rotation it’s like “Who’s captain today, oh it’s Johnny. Thought he was captain last week” “Nah, that was Jimmy”

Megan Fox is all right
but her “acting” job in Transformers was excruciating to watch, despite my general enjoyment with the movie. I hate that Michael Bay got his grubby little hands on my Transformers.
by SlamDunkTheFunk on Dec 1, 2008 6:47 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
Transformers was pretty cool. Shia LeBouf was pretty good in that, as well as Eagle Eye. I vary between thinking he’s a douche and thinking he’s not. As for Megan she didn’t really have to do any acting, just look hot and wear small clothing, altough the acting she did was shocking. I’m sick of having the chicks in movies being all tough and rebellious. Screw female empowerment.

When I first saw it
I went in thinking it wasn’t going to be at all related to the Transformers I grew up with, so I really enjoyed it. When I saw it again, Megan Fox’s mere inclusion in the film was baffling, but I like the job Shia did in it. I think he’s a typical young, Hollywood star. He just happens to be in some movies I like (I love love love the book “Holes”, so the movie was naturally awesome for me). You’re right in that she didn’t have much to do, but when she took a stab at the little work she was given, she fell flat on her face.
by SlamDunkTheFunk on Dec 1, 2008 6:59 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
Pretty much the same for me
When i watched i was like, “this is awesome, I can see why everyone made a huge fuss about it” but the second time I think I fell asleeps towards the end, I do that frequently, doesn’t help that I watched it at about 11:30 at night after playing sport all day.

I was just thinking the exact same thing when i saw him on the ice in the last minute. My guess is Harding will start the 3rd, less embarrassing to be pulled between periods than it is during the game.

Here's the issue
If you could actually make a difference by dumping season tickets, I could see not booing, because you just stop going, but here there are thousands of people on the waiting list for tickets, so it doesn’t matter what we say.

Then enjoy booing your team.
I guess some things just aren’t enough for fans anymore. You could have done this, should have won that, but instead of enjoying what you HAVE, you lament over things done and gone. Do you even ENJOY hockey or were you just born into it and never got away from it? You’d think with your rapidfire posting about how poor your team has been that you’d much rather be doing other things than watching your team play.

Boods gave up on the play once he heard the buzzer anyway.

Awesome finish. Neide, I can tell you and I aren’t going to be friends. It was fun. About time Minnesota lives up to their name.

BUHAHAHAHAHAAA
That was a total Roy move by Budaj. He just stopped once the horn sounded.. fine by me, but it made me laugh
I believe in Peter Budaj

he seems to have a bit of an attitude now that he’s playing well, snapping at stupid reporters and stopping once the horn sounds, hopefully he can keep it up but it’ll definetly get a negative mention from Dater.

True
If theres one thing i hate, its people like her wearing band shirts because it’s “cool” Not that i like Motley Crue or anything, i actually hate them, but it annoys me seeing people wearing their shirts or Ramones shirts while they know nothing about the band.

Oh yeah.
Just because Hot Topic started selling Kurt Cobain shirts all over the place, kids in the US suddenly became obsessed with Kurt Cobain all over again. I hated people wearing shirts with him on it and knowing nothing about Nirvana.

You shouldn’t wear a shirt from a band unless you actually went to the concert.
I liked Motley Crue, then they came out of retirement.

Nice
Engblom saying “Minnesota just doesn’t score a lot” so it was great by them to get out and score all those goals. Uh…right. We totally weren’t in the same boat or anything =p

Depends how you take it really. Thats the great thing about me. It could be a compliment, a subtle insult, a backhanded insult or a straight up insult. No-one knows, not even me.

I probably will be towards the top
because I got crazy defensive when the Wild blogger dropped in and started bawwwwwing

You’re always at the top anyway. I’m always in the middle due to my laziness and ability to somewhat restrain myself from making stupid comments on forums, unlike in real life, to the detriment of my social life.

I'm just talkative
because I spend most of my time isolated from society because I just get pissed and annoyed when I’m around people out in the world. This is a place to just kick back, and let myself enjoy some hockey with fellow Avs fans.
by SlamDunkTheFunk on Dec 1, 2008 8:56 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
Yep
sums up me pretty well, although when i’m around mates I’m slightly less pissed at the world and capable of having a conversation.
