Who eats cupcakes a different way?
Also, it appears I was in the arena for more than half of Louie’s highlights this year, although I attended only 13 games. You can thank me later

I eat cupcakes like this
It doesn’t work with the ones I fill though. If you break those apart the gooey stuff runs out.

I saw off the bottom of the cupcake . . .
eat that, then eat the frosting-topped rest of it.
Because that’s how I roll.
St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.
It was fun watching the Kings punk the Canucks last night
Them arrogant pricks don’t take losing very well.
And for once the war room got a distint kicking motion goal review right. Danke kicked one in and he knew it.

its fun not having a 4-0 series
4-0? heck every series will be 2-1 to start with this other season. even the vaulted #1 seeds have to do some work this round. and that is all good, is it not? also makes every game 4 the important game cos the diffeence between 2-2- and 3-1 is pretty large.

Mmm... cupcakes...
Especially Sandra Lee’s cupcakes (thanks for the swell photo at the CLTS site, Hildy).
I’ve got somethin’ "semi-homemade’ for her…

But what a bummer of a story though.

Ryan Miller gets my vote for the Vezina...

My wife reads "Dispatches" regularly.
If I come home to find cupcakes on the counter, now I’ll know why.

If Mike Keenan can get a job as an analyst on national broadcasts, I should be able to get a gig somewhere spewing opinions, right?
Hell, anybody would be more pleasant to listen to than that asshole

Isn't that what we're all here for?
Or does this not count as a “gig”?
I know it's time for hockey because I've started singing "Don't Stop Believing" with the words "...born and raised in FUCK DETRIOT!!!"
It certainly does count
But I bet the paycheck is better on his end.
Then again, we don’t have to deal with Brian Engblom on a nightly basis.

Was Keenan drunk on the Monday broadcast?
He sure seemed to stumble and bumble a lot. Don’t remember him being that disjointed in his speech.
Seriously. Lot of pregnant pauses and the other talking heads leaned in as if to help him along.
