03/14 Road Music: @ Minnesota Nor.... Wild


Just for the record, back-to-back road games suck. After an important win in Columbus, we're now off to the woods of Minnesota to play the Wild. They are currently 3 points behind us in 12th place. As bad as we need these points, the Wild need them even more. We have GOT to keep these bastards down while we can. It's funny how, an opponent that we normally couldn't give a rat's ass about, NOW becomes a crucial match up. The playoff stretch run...it's a

Wild, Wild Life / Wailing Souls

We might be catching a break, again, with the enemy lineup. The usual Wild starting goaltender, Niklas Backstrom, is questionable with a groin injury. His back-up, Josh Harding, is very capable, though. He is no pushover. The rest of the team will be trying to get back on a winning track - they are 4-4-2 in their last 10 games, and just broke a losing streak by winning in Buffalo in their previous game.

This is also you pregame pre-party. Remember to set your clocks forward, so you can catch the game on time. The  puck drops at 5:00 St Louis time, the GDT shortly beforehand. Until then, celebrate last night's win, lament the loss of the North Stars rivalry, and watch this fight from the Wild's previous game, where old timer Owen Nolan doesn't just take Steve Montador off the ice, but off of his jersey too!

I was thinking at 3:30am when I got up to pee

this would be a great song for CCR to post for today.
And one that I know!

Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky was in a production of The King and I? Well anyway, before the show, Brasky chloroforms the entire cast, and slowly eats them in front of the audience for two hours. The production got pretty good reviews.

Who else thinks

the wild is the most underrated team in the NHL?

Something to make you smile

03/13: Chicago gives up 2 goals in 2 minutes to blow a 2-1 3rd period lead and lose the game in regulation.

03/14: Chicago gives up 3 goals in 2 minutes and change to blow a 3-0 third period lead. They eventually lose in OT.

not that washington is a one man team

but they did it all without Ovie who got thrown out early in the first. Watching that third period was fun seeing chicago totally fall apart in a 2 minute span.

Head. Ache.

This is not a cure.

I’ll be late due to the NCAA basketball selection show . . . I know, I know. Basketball. I have a perfectly reasonable excuse . . . I run the office “pool” and kinda have to keep track of it. Plus, if Illinois doesn’t get in and some schlub team like Mississippi State does, and Illinois can’t play its’ first-round NIT game at home because of fucking Cirque du Soleil . . . someone’s gonna get their nose broken.

Pekke Rinne runs into the boards and knocks himself over stopping a dump in. On a later play LA just got a goal taken away from bad reffing. Smyth gets pushed going to the net, clips the goalies foot and it looks like the puck crosses the line while its in Rinnes glove. It gets waved off due to goalie interferance though it was smyth getting pushed by the nashville player.

Oh snap!

Actual infererance call on quick, the nashville player full on hooked quick with his skate drug him out of the crease and the goal counts. LA is getting jobbed.
