Berglund.

First 2 shots, first goal of the YoungStars game.

And Emrick has already used the phrase "or some such nonsense"

describing what happens if a puck goes out of play. No faceoffs in this thing.

Berglund gets interviewed on the bench.

And drops like three “I don’t know”s in 20 seconds. Conversations at the Oshie/Beglund condo must be mind boggling.

Versus coverage blows it.

Perron involved ina 2-on-1 goal that we heard but couldn’t see. Vs was showing Marc Staal. On the bench.

Berglund gets an assist.

Feeds Schenn for a breakaway goal.

One period away from bragging rights over Frenchie.

Wish the hell I had Versus...

Sounds like Frenchie and IceBerg are playing well.

9-5 Rookies.

TechnoViking gets 1 G, 1 A.

Perron gets a nice slash in on the hands of Berglund duringa 1-on-1.

Trying to goad him into that fight, I guess...

Man, it sucks to be poor...

…and be married to a lovely woman who hates to spend money.

Well, on second thought, that second part isn’t too bad. At least she’s not out blowing our wad on shoes and purses and shit… :-D

Berglund was 2-1, might have been 2-2, Perron might have been 0-2, but was for sure 0-1. So our boys tallied atleast 4, maybe 6, if the stupid fucking replay shit wasnt so poorly done we’d know for sure. How about no replays next year, or atleast save them for period breaks or something…

I could hardly see the YoungStars, so, sorry – not much coverage. Think of the worst seats in a 20,000 seat rink and then push them over into the middle a bit. That’s where I am. And it’s dark up here. And cold.

is that why you keep whispering to me in French?

Also explains why I couldn’t understand the rink announcer tonight.

The director...

tonight was terrible! There were so many cuts to nothing while action was going on during young stars. The director deserves to be hip checked by a Plager while Shanahan steals his wife.

for reals. they needed to do the replays with a fucking inset. epic fail

Iceberg and Perron were fucking awesome! And I can’t believe that Iceberg didn’t win the MVP… what the hell?!

I don’t think they were counting assists or else he might have. I’m still not sure what either of their point totals were b/c of the shitty producing or directing whichever was in control of what was on the screen. Both of our guys did very well, though. What was up with Tkachuk in the shoot-out? No move, shitty shot, I know he’s not Mr. Hands or anything, but come on Walter give it a better try than that. Fun night though, wish Chopper had the hardest shot record, but I guess 7-time winner (straight, if I’m not mistaken) isn’t too shabby though.
