Blues at Sharks - 2nd Period

I guess the good news is that the first period of tonight's game didn't have any Celine Dion music in it. Is 8-0 after two periods out of the question? I don't think so, either.
Back in a few...
A storm blew through Atlanta and ripped two holes in the roof of the Georgia Dome. The roof of the Georgia Dome would have done a better job in goal than Toivonen did.
19:06- Backes on the Power Play, and another assist for EJ. I wonder if his foot hadn't been "broked" at the beginning of the season and the Blues hadn't been so "victory challenged" if EJ would be getting more talk for the Calder Trophy.
17:32- Nice pileup. Just a reminder, if you like grown men hugging each other trying to gain an "advantage," the NCAA Wrestling Championships are at Scottrade Center next week.
17:12- Good music choice of INXS' "It Ain't Pretty" during the pileup. Carl Middleman, please take note.
16:08- The more I see Joe Thornton play, the more I realize three things: A) Yes, to answer his question from the NHL Network's commercials, those pants do make his butt look big. Second- The guy can play- flat out play. I don't know what happened in Boston, but since he was sent west he may be the best player in the league. Finally, much like Vancouver acquiring Roberto Luongo for an aging power forward (Todd Bertuzzi) when the Blues had one of those also (Walt Tkachuk), where were the Blues on the Thornton sweepstakes when he was on his way out in Boston.
13:40- A line of King, Perron, and Boyes. Sometimes I really wonder about the line combinations on the ice.
12:13- Gallagher, all of the fans are texting their hyphenated last named friends, asking which player Pronger is, that they are supposed to boo him, but they can't find him.
11:12- I'm getting to the point with Federko where his voice comes across to me as the same as Charlie Brown's school teacher. I don't know what he's saying, I could think of a better thing to say, and I don't need cabinets.
11:00- Yes, I posted in the comments. No, Gallagher, I didn't mean to put it up here.
10:10- Is "riccochet" Federko-ish for "deflection?"
9:19- Nabakov has played in 67 games. The one game he doesn't start, Brian Boucher shut out the Blues. Put that in your teal beer and slam it.
7:10- Anybody else feel like it is just a matter of time until San Jose puts another one in?
6:15- The 16th Round? Are you reading Rubin "Hurricane" Carter's book, Brad? It's 4-1, but according to Federko, a "riccochet" here and there and the Blues could be winning 17-4. But Manny wouldn't have seen any of them.
6:15- Doesn't "Warf" have an H in it? "Wharf," right?
6:01- The Blues flew in after the game on Tuesday, and boy are their arms tired.
5:33- "You have to give them credit, John." Why? For what?
5:15- Okay, the toughest Blue thing is nice and all, but how about a funnier one: The Least Toughest Blue. Any suggestions? Daniel Corso? JD Drew?
4:17- I know that the HP Pavilion is an "old school" building, and the visiting team's goalie doesn't fit on the bench, but has Manny been on camera at all tonight? Maybe he's out looking for Sharkie's britches.
3:43- Sandis Ozolinsh- have a drink on me.
3:34- "Toivonen hasn't had any work this period." He wasn't exactly painting the Mona Lisa during the first.
1:06- Didn't see much of a hook there on I, Robot.
0:44- So what's the book on Toivonen- when he sucks, he really sucks, when he's decent he still isn't very good?
0:00.00000001- Great save by Toivonen. We could have used four more of those in the first period.
We're going to take a quick break, remember to tip your waitresses and bartenders.

It’s weird, but if you listen hard enough, you can hear the whole Sharks crowd clicking away on their Blackberries.

Gift: I just read this - Milo, I have no problem giving players that aren’t the worst player in the league nicknames. So, no "Tofu" for me, or no "Ears." We, as a community, need to concentrate on getting Toivonen deported.

Who the fuck brought their novelty train whistle to the game?
Seriously, be better than that, San Jose.

1:14- What is it with mascots not wearing pants? Sharkie is going al fresco much like our little loveable Louie does.
Maybe it’s the skank with microphone effect.

I think Murray just might be making his line combinations by pulling names out of a hat…

This crowd sucks. You can’t add another syllable to the word Sharks for cheering purposes. “Let’s go Sha-arks.”
Quite lame!

Milo, I’m sure there is an Angella in San Jose. She’s probably there with her life partner, enjoying a glass of wine and some sushi.
by Chris Gift on Mar 14, 2008 10:47 PM CDT reply actions
Gift: the silliest part is that the return for Thornton was Sturm, Brad Stuart (who’s gone already) and the lesser Primeau.
There wasn’t a better deal out there for that fucktard GM? No wonder he got canned.

Kinda makes you want to be sushi, huh?

Hi. It’s the 16th round. My brain is mush. What’s the score?
by Brad Lee on Mar 14, 2008 10:49 PM CDT reply actions
did the NHL minor officials count that puck that hit the goalpost for SJ?
by Pierre Chastenais on Mar 14, 2008 10:49 PM CDT reply actions
Brad, the score is 66. Did you draft Ankiel yet?

Dear Roenick,
You still suck

shots that hit the post do not count as shots on goal unless the puck hits the goalie first.

That’s not to say the Blues took a penalty when the game started. It’s just more or less an advantage for San Jose at all times.

Don’t want to make it any worse for the bluenotes. Blues need a 2nd, then 2 more to tie…
am not panicking yet.

Yeah, Gifter, you get seafood at the Wharf. You regurgitate bad seafood when you Warf.

Pierre,
Do people about to go to the gas chamber panic? I’m in the same feeling with this season.

Least toughest Blue?
I nominate Valeri Bure, both in name and playing style.
by Poor College Student on Mar 14, 2008 11:00 PM CDT reply actions
Meanwhile, isn’t the cabinets place that Federko shills for the same one that puts a giant inflatable gorilla on the roof of the building?
How the fuck does that make any sense anyway?
“Honey, it’s time to update the kitchen. I know, let’s go to that fucking place that has a giant gorilla on it. You know, the one where Bernie Federko must shop since he does their commercials….”

Val Bure and Candace Cameron Bure/DJ Tanner went big time Jesus on us. They make Kurt and Brenda Warner look like Black Sabbath fans.

Valeri Bure has a brother who has gotten his wick dipped with way hotter wax than he has.

Rick Ankiel was just taken in the 18th (technically 22nd round). And it was not me.

Eric Brewer makes a good play. Brad Lee makes a bad play and lets No. 66 go to a competitor.
Will Leitch thinks you fucked up.

Sneaky Pete got into a fight with 5 foot 0 Tony Hrkac once, and The Circus put him to sleep with one punch.
Lights out, fogging up his visor, lying on the back of the goal net.
THAT is Glass Jaw Joe if I ever saw it.

Holy shit! Apparently the Blues are still in this! Who knew?

Toivonen didn’t face too many shots, but he somehow held the fort together…
now it’s up to the attackers to get open and blast some pucks past Nabokov!
I’m taking a break. See you in the third.

If current trends continue, Toivonen will let in negative four goals in the third. Winner!
