Hi!
Hello. I'm new here, but I'm Kristin. Big fan of the Colorado Avalanche; only have been following them for a couple months. Had an ex-boyfriend that was a fan since they were the Nordiques. Still waiting to get a nice sweater showing off the love for Mr. McLeod. Big soccer fan as well from my time living in Europe, so you might see some footie related posts as well. Nice to meet all of you.

Welcome!
As a protip, you should really consider using a different email as the one you show in your main profile. Like, strongly consider it.
A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.

Welcome,

A few things to remember/check out:
Make sure you check out the “Glossary” and “player nickname” links on the front page. Others wise you might be lost around here.
As TheRed posted Sarcasm is the main course around here. It’s even more popular than “mini golf” around here, if that’s possible.

She’s due April 12th….so they want to schedule the C-section April 5th, 6th or 7th.
The 5th was her grandfather’s birthday, the 7th is hers….so we’re trying to decide which she wants. Might be easier to just go in between and pick the 6th.

Mini-golf
is our little reference for human reproduction/recreation.
Seems horbayj ducked out of a game day thread a few months back with the excuse that he had to go play mini-golf with the girlfriend. While he asserts that there was in fact a putter, a windmill and a little blue ball (or two) involved, it would seem that other activities occurred at the 19th hole. Given our frequently sophmoric demeanor around here, it stuck.

I see it the other way. He insists there was a 19th hole but I assert there was nothing more than putters, windmills and blue balls involved.

I freaked Highlander out once. In Edmonton I screamed his name and he seemed shocked that I recognized him.
You know, I was thinking and if Guite was still on the Avs, I’d be a Guite girl. I really miss seeing him on the ice. He seemed like such a great guy and teammate.

Just so you know,
Beachie has dibs on Johnny Hot Pocket and occasionally Durno
Sandie’s got Quincey all “wrapped” up
Skatebaker’s got Wilson taken care of.
I’ve got all that right, right?
Should I add in that Hockeymom’s got Boods? But not really in the same way.
Any married players with pulled groins are the sole responsibilty of their wives, but we might have given them some pointers.

k. Sorry guys, I’ll stop now.

Sweet!
Another EPL fan and one that is not a bandwagon Top 4 fan at that. (Blackburn Rovers here) Also good to see another uniform in the bunch. Hope you like it here.
There are two ways of being happy: We must either diminish our wants or augment our means - either may do - the result is the same and it is for each man to decide for himself and to do that which happens to be easier.

Wow. This is going to be fun. Or hell, one of the two.
Getting excited to see the US game tomorrow. Getting awesome with the trash talk on twitter.

Fortunately I don't drink too much any more
Because believe it or not, I can be much more obnoxious. Why the Spurs? Between Ginobili’s flopping and Duncan’s perpetual whining, I can’t stand them.

Welcome Kristin! i’ve gone into hiding after the canada-us game..i might come back when we kick ovie and co. to the curb..
'I googled what the white stuff in a Ho-Ho was, i found out it has NINE cups of sugar..that will KILL YOU, it would turn your blood into fruit punch!'
Nonsense.
If you had gone into hiding after the game, you wouldn’t have posted. And why do you assume she cares anyway? Man, you Canadians and your arrogance. BOY HOWDY.

Well, they do have the entire sharks first line, plus such notable douches as Heatley, Iginla, Pronger, Neidermayer, and Broduer. So I’d say choking is certainly a possibility.
