Around SBN: Bracketology 2012: Duke Finally Steps Up To The No. 1 Line

OT: Avs win, 3 Stars debate rages on.

Really? I have to post at least 75 words? This sucks.

Regardless, the Avs snuck a nice 2 points from the former division leading Canucks, though the gain ultimately ends up at 1. Nonetheless, we won, and they didn't. So ha.

Because I have a word limit, I'll mention that Dater is supposedly the one who selected the 3 stars of the night and managed to leave Budaj off the list, despite making several great saves, including a game-saving stop on a breakaway towards the end of the third. Not only that, he was so inclined to select Bernier as the first star, whose two goals weren't enough to drive the Canucks to victory.

Some of us are still here, so this is where we take it.

Game saving stop

There was a post save in OT but the save/breakaway that has been referred to was in the waning minutes of the third, no?

Compensating. You feel the need to descredit the goalie because you realize you can never be as awesome as me. Don’t feel bad though, no one is as awesome as me.

I'll be honest.

I have no freaking idea. My nights mostly consist of watching tv shows/movies online, playing my DS, talking to ex girlfriends on the phone (blechh), and setting up wakeup calls. I just turn the hotel computer’s financial clock over a day, and make sure all the charges are correct and there are no double charges and whatnot. It’s a cake job, and the OS the hotel uses is pretty failsafe, so my job is caketown. Sorry for being fail =[

I’m just really shy and also look like I’m either really angry about something or like somethings wrong, but I don’t have the whole vulnrable look that girls tend to gravitate to.

Ahh, emo. Well, growing up I had red hair, glasses, head gear, braces, looked like a dork, etc, and No one, not even guys, liked me. I probably should have been a goalie, but hey. I just said f it and now I’m a reasonably well adjusted person with lots of friends and a good life. Still terrified of girls, but practice makes perfect. My current GF is a nice hot lesbian bartender (her words) and really, they aren’t that unlike guys, you just have to realize they want a lot of the same things you do, and if you (cliche alert) be yourself and don’t give a flying f, things will work out. / end unsolicited psych advice…..

I'm not emo

I just have no social skills. I get on with guys pretty well but my whole attitude apparently doesn’t appeal to woman, they think I’m a jerk because pretty much everything I say is sarcastic.

You know

Will Smith is awesome, but the ending to ‘’I Am Legend" broke my heart. It was the worst possible ending to that movie. His reputation took a big hit with the release of that movie (and “Wild, Wild West” and "Hancock") with that ending. The first ending they had made for the movie didn’t go over well with test audiences, but test audiences are usually idiots, so they changed the ending to one they liked more. I couldn’t believe it. The original ending was fantastic, and tied up the story well.

Also, just grab a pal and go skate. Seriously. The blades on the ice, the blades on the ice! Think about that sound! Just block everyone else out. ’’Clear the mechanism", as they say. Just enjoy being out there. Everyone else sucks.

If you can convince someone else to go it’s pretty sweet. I wanted to play hockey for about 6 years but never had the money and 2 of my mates who like dHockey didn’t want to so I never did. Then One mate, the wings fan, went over east to join the Army and my other mate became a drunken drug addict I’ve spoken to about twice in the last 3 years. Eventually I just said Fuckit, I’ve had enough of people telling me to do it and signed up to play and it was the best thing I’ve ever done, met a couple of great guys who became friends and just started having fun and became slighty less of a loner. The first steps always hard but you’ll end up thinking it’s one of the best decisions you ever make.

Honestly, that’s what I keep thinking. Someone to skate with or not, if I want to do it, I just need to go and do it. It’s just getting over the inertia, so to speak, to take that step. I can roller skate, use to take ice skating lessons, it can’t be that hard, right?

Thats the funniest thing about goaltending. you have to be an incredibly good skater because of all the pads and quick movements you need to make. I’m sure there’d be a few beginner clinics for hockey in Colorado, thats what I signed up to do. There’s a few adults doing the clinic with me so age shouldn’t be a problem. Just talk to some hockey clubs about it. they’re bound to have a social team for people who just like playing hockey and aren’t ultra serious about it.

I love the Galleria. It’s just such a loaded mall (there are four whole buildings to it, I believe), that I can always find stuff to do/buy. Just last week I bought some RC cars to play with when I got one of those “to be a kid again…” feelings. RC cars are cool. Shut up.

You don’t understand. This mall is not four stories. It’s four buildings which are not all built on top, next to, or arranged in any logical fashion. We had to walk like three blocks just to find the escalator that went down to the skating rink.

I missed this post
