Blues At Canucks Second Period

18:44 WE LOVE BOYES! On the powere play. That's his 28th of the year.

17:19 Some guy named Mason Raymond just hit the post. Who?

13:33 McDonald almost deflected the puck in. Sedins using their weird Swedish twin magic.

And the photo of Backe was Gift's idea. And for your viewing pleasure, Dwayne "Call Me Sniper" King.

Keg party Friday night, St. Chas, Mo.

And the Blues have officially jinxed themselves. The Playoff Push Pack includes the frist two home playoff games. If we put audio clips up, we'd have a link to Jim Mora Sr. saying,Â "Playoffs? Playoffs? Playoffs? I hope we win another game. Playoffs?"

Thank you for letting me see the stitches. Being far away from our tv market this kind of makes me feel just a lil more at home.Â
We're here to please. And could I interest you in a Game Time subscription? Just $2 an issue. And if you plead poverty and far away college student or something, Gravy might even give you a break.

Kelly says Vancouver is short another D-man after an injury in the first. Maybe we can deal Backman while weâ€™re in town and save them the shipping and handling.Â
I just checked ebay. He's not on there. Yet. Hopefully a buy it now option soon.

8:33 Yan Stastny justed talked to Jim Hayes' hair. We might have a photo.

5:33 Not a lot going on in the game. The Sedins just put it weakly on net.

Is someone trying to start the wave in the near crowd? Is this Canada?Â
Told you they were morons.

And Rick Bowness told John Kelly the only way you can tell the Sedins apart is because one has his eyes further apart. That's just odd. And apparently Bernie has never seen identical twins because he sounds flabergasted.

The Jack In the Box commercial with everyone saying "Why didn't I think of that" ends with a rip off of another commercial. The guy asks his dog. His dog thinks, "I did." Ripoff of the Bush's Baked Beans commercial. Hacks.

And don't worry, we have a picture of Bernie circling sticks trying to figure out which Sedin is which.

3:13 McKee couldn't clear and I think Madonna's husband "missed the net by three inches."

And an uneventful end to the second period. Here are two pictures for your viewing pleasure. First is Bernie telestrating how to determine which Sedin twin is which...in case you can't see their numbers I gues.

The retarded one is on the right. I think.

And this is Yan Stastny, the next guy who will take turns sitting with D.J. King and David Perron.

Hey Jim, did you keep the receipt from your hair?

We'll have a new thread up for the third shortly. We promise it will be before the period actually ends....but we do have to add this:

so i go to practice one day back in highschool and i hear the coach call the following line chris d. stasny and federko. now one of them is going to be in a blues jersey how sweet is that
That's pretty cool, playing with a future Hall of Famer in Federko.

Oh. You meant his son. Still a cool story.

Henrik’s the playmaker, Daniel’s the goal scorer. Together they’re…CREEPY!!!

Well Done, Brad.

Brad Boyes, Brad Boyes, whatcha gonna do…

Mason Raymond, two first names, two last names. Neither. Both. Any relation to Duncan Keith? Discuss.

tg hinote might be hurt also this should mean more goals and the inability to scratch perron

Wrong goal Andy!

The Blues need to get “shots towards Luongo,” according to Bernie. I think Murray tells Mayers every period “we’re going THAT way now.”

Legace prays, thanking Allah for making the save for him

Playoff Packs? Playoff Packs? Playoffs? Playoffs?

Playoffs?

When I opened and read that Playoff Push Pack email I tasted a little bit of vomit in my mouth.

What in the hell were those graphics?

yeah i’m kinda of skeptical at this point

Gift, we were thinking the same thing. You typed faster.
Playoffs?

Sometimes Brewer really plays well, other times he really plays like Eric Brewer.

Three iron shots tonight, two by Vancouver and one by the Blues.

by Tim on Jan 23, 2008 10:15 PM CST reply actions

maybe the blues could just usher backman to the canucks locker room during this period and throw an extra sedin jersey on him. he’s swedish, they’ll never notice.

the first commercial aimed at being aired during a sports game

by Dooks on Jan 23, 2008 10:17 PM CST reply actions

Stastny arrived “about 5:43 local time.” Give or take a few minutes. I could have sworn it was 5:37ish.

by Gift on Jan 23, 2008 10:19 PM CST reply actions

BTW The Vancouver radio crew is much better than the Nashville gang, but they only seem to be vaguely aware there is a hockeme going on.

They are entertaining though.

by Rich Horton on Jan 23, 2008 10:19 PM CST reply actions

What the hell is “hockeme”?

I could have sworn I typed “hockey game”.

Is someone trying to start the wave in the near crowd? Is this Canada?

by pdub on Jan 23, 2008 10:22 PM CST reply actions

Somebody explain to me how in the hell Toronto gets changed to “Cha-ronno” when translated into Canadian English?

by Gift on Jan 23, 2008 10:22 PM CST reply actions

haha Henrik’s eyes are further apart. This is EXACTLY the kind of thing I like to learn watching these games.

by pdub on Jan 23, 2008 10:23 PM CST reply actions

“Di-Cho-ronno on the rocks, please”

by Dooks on Jan 23, 2008 10:23 PM CST reply actions

So if the kid’s eyes are far apart did his uncle knock his mom up?

They also wear different numbers on their sweaters Bernie!

by pdub on Jan 23, 2008 10:26 PM CST reply actions

DID ANYBODY EVER THINK THAT THEY’RE WEARING DIFFERENT NUMBERS?

by Gift on Jan 23, 2008 10:26 PM CST reply actions

beaten by Kelly.

by pdub on Jan 23, 2008 10:26 PM CST reply actions

sedins are getting too much air time, especially now that bernie is “telestrating” their sticks. i’m officially creeped out.

by Jessica on Jan 23, 2008 10:26 PM CST reply actions

The Vancouver radio crew is wondering why they didnt play Sanford against us. After all, its only the Blues.

Ouch.

by Rich Horton on Jan 23, 2008 10:27 PM CST reply actions

Maybe Jamal Mayers has a twin brother that goes out there with his stick blade down and scores all the time.

by Gift on Jan 23, 2008 10:28 PM CST reply actions

word of advice to Blues defensemen: when making the first pass out of the zone, pass it TO a teammate

by Dooks on Jan 23, 2008 10:28 PM CST reply actions

Wow, the Canucks really look terrible.

by pdub on Jan 23, 2008 10:28 PM CST reply actions

Counting his goal, I’ve heard Boyes’ name mentioned six times tonight. That’s not enough. He needs to be more visible.

by Gift on Jan 23, 2008 10:28 PM CST reply actions

Seven times.

by Gift on Jan 23, 2008 10:29 PM CST reply actions

Brad, not only is the end of the commercial a rip-off, the rest of it I’ve seen in a Beetle Bailey comic strip several years ago. the yelling-at goes from the top of the chain-of-command on down to the private (Beetle, who then proceeds to care less)

by Dooks on Jan 23, 2008 10:33 PM CST reply actions

I wonder if we’ll ever see a “band of brothers” line of RJ, Yan Stasny, and Marty Kariya ?

by Tim on Jan 23, 2008 10:33 PM CST reply actions

Would that be the first Beetle Bailey reference in the history of GT?

by Gift on Jan 23, 2008 10:33 PM CST reply actions

I hope RJ, Yan and Marty hold their sticks the opposite of Craig, Paul and Paul. It might confuse Bernie.

by Gift on Jan 23, 2008 10:34 PM CST reply actions

Nothing from Skeletor yet tonight, Dooks?

by Gift on Jan 23, 2008 10:36 PM CST reply actions

so i go to practice one day back in highschool and i hear the coach call the following line chris d. stasny and federko. now one of them is going to be in a blues jersey how sweet is that

You gotta love Red Devil hockey.

by Gift on Jan 23, 2008 10:40 PM CST reply actions

Well I am a poor college student going to a school in western NC. Tragically no hockey of any kind until you get to Winston-Salem or Knoxville and well it’s possibly even worse than the old UHL games. Worst thing is the only chance I’ll get to see my Beloved Team this semester (unless we make the event that I dare not speak of) is in a couple weeks down at Nashville. So any mercy would be greatly appreciated :-D
