Puppy Dogs and Sunshine: Avs Win PGT

So, it is happy hockey day or something. Avs have a pretty convincing win against a Mild team that looked sluggish from the start.
So, since it's happy hockey day, and MHH did not really participate, I'll go for it. I love hockey because I'm an angry person. Hockey allows me the ability to shout, throw my fists, and cheer loudly in idiot's ears in an appropriate setting. 82 games per year allow me to be aggressive and happy all at the same time without hurting any one. Oh, and Peter Forsberg. There is nothing better than watching Forsberg hit, score, and demolish the Wings.

Lol
I know we love the game threads but if this works maybe we can continue to post them.
For bigger type games, anyway.
Red Wings Suck
This was a big game
and I made extra effort to be around tonight, so I’m happy the turnout was awesome.
It was all for you Bubblegum.

Over at PPP
Toronto fans get their threads up to over 1,000. I wouldn’t want to see what a playoff game would look like for them.
Hehe
They haven’t made the playoffs in a while so I bet it would be damn crazy with overflows and all.
Kinda like if we had a Stanley Cup final thread.
Red Wings Suck
You and me both, my friend.
I have a framed poster of him demolishing a Wing and underneath it says “Iceberg” in awesome lettering. I take that poster everywhere I move to.
If the Avs
could combine the team they had tonight with the good penalty killing/defensive team we have seen in the bore-fests, they could be a force.
You mean
we’d be an all around team with talent at all positions and enough grit to fight through the playoffs? This is just too crazy of an idea.
Yeah
Total crazy talk.
I do wonder, though, why all of the sudden the Avs are showing up for a couple of games.
What happened to the utter lack of heart?
Red Wings Suck
Maybe Lappy
behind closed doors has been beating it back into them. He seems to hate losing as much as I do.
I loved the fight I saw in the team, especally on offense. Defense they were a little lost………oh crap, the Avs have returned to the team they were at the beginning of the season!
He could just be done.
He really hasn’t looked like he cherishes shutting down the opposing team’s best forward anymore. He used to have that look in his eyes like he couldn’t wait to get out there and dominate, and now he just looks like he’s lost some of that fire.
Honestly
He’s been a sad story since he left the Avs. Something about being away from Forsberg, Sakic, and Roy, kinda seemed to kill his fire.
If I had to play for CBJ, I think I would lose my fire, too.
Red Wings Suck
Yeah
now that we don’t have commercials to lol at together or a game to fawn over, sometimes it’s hard to find stuff to talk about with people you don’t really know =p
Its a more relaxed pace now. But I’m a leo, I don’t care for chocolate much but I like long walks on the beach hehehe.
I'm a Leo, too.
and I can’t stand chocolate. And long walks on the beach are pretty win, though I definitely prefer mountains and hiking.
Leos and Virgos (me) get along well. Bashing on the Avs, anyway (for the benefit of the team).

I like chocolate and hate walks on the beach, or anywhere for that matter. Short attention span and sarcastic and cynical.
"Two roads divurged in a wood, and I took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference"
R. Frost
That was nice
Switching to the game in time for the Leafs announcers to do a little McNab-style slurping of Finger. His ice-time has been tremendous too this season (for the games he’s been in)
I believe in Peter Budaj
So did we get a verdict on Budaj tonight?
I thought his rebounds were a little shaky, but the PK really let him down overall.
I believe in Peter Budaj
That's how I see it.
The last 90 seconds of both the first and second periods really kept Minnesota in the game. I can’t stress enough how huge it was that we end the periods on a solid tone and not get bogged down in going through the motions to get to the locker room.
He seemed to give up a few rebounds but considering we gave so many stupid penalties to teh #2 tPP team then he can be forgiven for the PP goals a bit, some of them he didn’t really have achance.

Rockie gets absolutely pummeled in this movie. Ouch.

I switched over to MNF.
It’s the first time since the NFL came back to Houston that MNF has been here, so i was keeping an eye on the Texans. Now that I’m on Rocky IV, I may go in to work a few minutes late so watch some of this. Dolph rocks.
Texans
Seriously, is there a worse team name in all of sports?

Yeah, it is bad.
The other options were also pretty horrible. They wanted to capitalize on the whole space thing even more (Rockets/Astros/Aeros) and go with Astronauts or some crap, but settled on Texans. It was the lesser of all evils.
Also
This topic can’t go on without the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers. It’s not pro sports, but STILL.
I’ve never seen any of the Rocky’s, nnota big fan of them. I’ll probably watch Die Hard 2, they’re awesome. Watched the first last night. John McLane’s a badass. He saved an office full of hostages from terrorrists all while being barefoot. Thats committment.

Is he barefoot
cause i gotta say, thats a big selling point for me. If he’s got shoes it aint worth it.

Killing a helicopter with a car (in bare feet). Are you kidding???? How awesome is that? Then going the full 8 seconds on a fighter plane while the highway collapses?

If only he could be the Wings GM, and sign Phadouche and Douchetuzzi . Then our hate could be centralized on one team and one team only, thus allowing us to truly hate them

COME ON
Why did you have to go and do that? I like to pretend this part doesn’t exist! Kind of like how I pretend Rocky V doesn’t exist…
But it makes Rocky a better person…
or something.
FWIW, I loved the new Rocky movie too.
Red Wings Suck
How could you not?
That movie was so cool. It featured awesome casting choices, Adrian was dead, and Rocky really looked old. Plus, the fight was cool and Three Six Mafia got to make a name for themselves. It was fun all around!
It was bad,,,but definitely better than watching “Tommy the Machine Gun” in V
Now and then we had the hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be PIRATES.

Bad?
No freakin’ way Rocky 6 was bad. Rocky 5 was way bad but 6 made up for it plus some.

We are live blogging Rocky IV! When has that ever been done? LOL.

We have lives. It’s just that between 6-10 pm, we happen to have free time to devote to a hobby. Or studying… which I should be doing.

La’s new 3rds are just hideous. Not really hideaous but completely generic. It feels like it should just say “Los Angeles” and be a generic hockey team for a video game too cheap to use officially licensed team names.

Are you saying you don’t love an underdog? Avs for the playoffs is an underdog story at this point and it would just be glorious if we made it.
Red Wings Suck
Yeah
I love an underdog story, and to be fair, Rocky was probably more revolutionary when It first came out, and I didn’t watch it until I was 18 or so the formula that Rocky established had already been worn out, so watching the original didn’t have the impact, but yeah. It was pretty boring.

Injuries? I don’t follow the East much but I have seen that Finger has been a healthy scratch most of the season kinda like the playoffs last year.
They really did mistake Finger for Sauer. I’m sure of it.

Funniest trade i had in NHL 08 was Arnason and Brisebois, the originally wanted Boods to the Dead Wings for Lilja and Kuselis. Only time I’ve ever traded with the Dead Wings. In my NHL 09 BAP The panthers traded Skrastins back to the Avs for Salei and then traded Salei to the Flyers for Nittymaki.
"Two roads divurged in a wood, and I took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference"

traded my 123 point scoring wing to the Panthers for spare parts that played the entire season in Lake Erie. I’m still not over it.

So far the Panthers haven’t traded me and i just passed the deadline. We’re #1 in the Eastern Conference and have had a few 5+game win streaks.

I stuck with the Panthers in the off-season because they offered me the shortest contract and I wanted to stick it to the Eastern Conference a bit more. We have a crappy team that dominates. I love video games.

He did seem to have a good attitude, apart from the small Boooing argument.

In hindsight
I probably got too worked up over that, considering in sports nowadays if the product isn’t great every single time out, people feel free to boo. It’s sad, but I suppose it’s the trend. Which means I’ll always hate it.
by A.J. Haefele on Dec 1, 2008 10:22 PM MST up reply actions
I thought the booing was odd too but then again, I don’t watch every Wild game. I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt. For now.
In all fairness
The Wild were playing awfully in their own zone. They had a bunch of awful turnovers, and Hejduk’s goal was a direct result of an awful clear. We all know that frustration. I might boo too.

But there’s so many stoppages they have time for large conversations without missing any of the so called “action”

That's definitely true
You’d think with over a thousand comments for a hockey game, no detail or play would get missed.

I maintain
that despite all that, we hold our own because the smaller number of people we have posting. Of course, I haven’t spent anytime over there seeing how many different posters they have throughout a game.

The Leafs are the center of the hockey universe ect. ect….
Therefore, they crash SBN.

"Two roads divurged in a wood, and I took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference"

I dunno...
Johnny Mac has some help in his movies, whereas Rambo is just a certified badass who can magically multiply the number of arrows he has for his explosive crossbow. I think it’d be an epic throwdown, though.

But Johnny Mac has no shoes. NO SHOES, it’s not even a contest
"Two roads divurged in a wood, and I took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference"

Dude.
Rambo in First Blood would dominate McClane in the first Die Hard. After that, the series evens out more, but I don’t see the first ones even being a contest.

Haven’t seen Rambo, If he does it barefoot and wlaks on glass then i may concede, If not…

He's more hardcore than that.
He shreds an entire town’s police force without really using much in the way of weaponry. The scene where he walks into town holding his life’s belongings in his duffel bag just looking for something to eat remains one of my favorite cinematic scenes ever.

The feet are the toughest skin, so to speak, if conditioned properly. So the feet are not a tip-top argument, IMO.

but Rocky/Rambo are so cool and awesome. John McClane is absolutely in the same class as they are. I just love how “one man army” all of those characters are. It’s like they made the movies based on video games that weren’t released yet.

Awesome is one word for it, certifiably insane is two words for it, and bat-shit crazy is three words for it (I think, do hyphenated count as one word or two?).

Yes, yes they are
along with ‘Invisible when not wearing a goalie mask’ Which I know for a fact is true. I was at hockey with one of my mates who jacked his arm and couldn’t play for a couple of weeks and had finally come to hockey to watch our other mates triumphant return after a few weeks as well. I was standing next to him talking to one of the instructers who said “Why haven’t you three been here the last few weeks” which i replied “I’ve been here every week” Which was met with a short pause before she said “Oh, yeah. you have, I’ll give you that” Thus proving someone who sticks out like a sore thumb is invisible whennot wearing my mask.
