Tuesday links: Holy jumpin'! Seven goals! edition

by averagejoe on Dec 22, 2009 5:00 AM CST

Seven goals? Since when does this team score in bunches? You know what, I'll take it. Seven goals is awesome. Best part? It was on the road so Towelie didn't get to do his shtick.

My husband walked thru the room last night and saw 7-2.
He wanted to know if we could just bank 4 of those for next time.
That Garfield comic is great.

Quote of the day:

From Puck Daddy:

Also, the Blues’ power play (4-for-5) is no longer set to “suck.”

I hope that last night wasn't just a glitch...

… and we return to normal the next game.

Panger say what?!

He did that fucking ‘gave ’em the old nine of hearts’ line again when the Blues tic-tac-toed the one-timer to McDonald.

What the ’F does it mean, Pang?!?!?!

I once shot a man just to see him die...then I got distracted and missed it.

(got the Edmonton feed on GameCenter Live), but in both games so far on this swing, the Blues played with “snarl”; they kept hitting Vancouver, and they kept hitting Edmonton. Calgary’s more physical than either of those two teams — somebody’s gotta pound that (bleep) Dion Phaneuf every chance they get!

I’m thinkin’ the scoring will improve as the hitting becomes more consistent… draw penalties, and put the puck on the net!

Ditto.

That asshat was knocking us around like ping-pong balls last game. I’d like to see him broken, por favor.

Best. Sunday. Garfield. Ever.

And I’m all jacked up about last night’s performance. They need to score, like, 10 on Cal/Gary tomorrow.

One day, David Backes and Albert Pujols will combine forces to become the most awesome piece of violent force known to man.

i was pretty

That was the first Garfield I've laughed at in years.

The Blues must check to succeed

It’s what makes them hard to play against.

Let’s pull a Number Six on SJ.

As much of Blues honk as I am,

When somebody posts their 104th career shutout, yeah, they should get more attention paid to them than a blowout between two small-market teams.

I saw those Roloson saves last night

And was almost positive that the puck crossed the line at SOME point. But watching the video again today, I’m now convinced that it didn’t. That’s two of the best saves of the year done by the same goalie in the same game within two seconds of each other. Ridiculous.

wtf

steeners got snubbed from the nhl 3 stars last night.. how do you put up 4 points and play as solid as he did and not come away with a star

If you have a donkey and i have a chicken and youre donkey ate my chickens feet what would you have.... 2 feet of my cock in youre ass!! haha

I actually sent an e-mail to Wysh about the Frankensteen snub.

Yeah, Marty deserves a lot of recognition for setting a goaltending record that not even Patrick Roy could set in his career. Kudos to him. He’s a stud goaltender.

But I do agree that this was a blowout and maybe wasn’t as impressive. They were practically giving us goals and assists after awhile.

by Liut! on Dec 22, 2009 1:05 PM CST up reply actions

not complaing about the first two stars

but come on Marc-Andre Bergeron getting the third over Steen is kind of crap . . . but then can the NHL really ignore Canada for a whole day in their choice for stars . . .

Glengarry Christmas

So torn. Great idea, and pretty well done, but I kept finding myself cringing when he’d rush through a line: “THAT’S not how you deliver it!” Add the neutered for NBC language and it felt like an old-timer’s game when you realize your favorite old players are old men with walkers.

But really, one can never have enough Glengarry nods.
