goalies

well jose has been useless in the playoffs, he went from solid gold free agent to used bag of pucks almost overnight.

nabby should be elite though, he looked decent so far and is poised to make it into the second round with top 5 stats.

no ones doing anything in montreal at the sec, so again i think theis is were the fans who want a habs goalie have to vote for the caps to stack on 7 or 8 more goals to loosen them

I wonder..

WTF Dave Poleck is and how he got my photo.

I’m guessing because Hildy used it in one of her articles, that it then gets dumbed into the hockey writers picture database for all to grab.
No worries, as long as DanGNR/SLGT is referenced when used.

I wonder if “loss three” is supposed to be “lose three.”
I also wonder if “9o” means “90.”

and no, I don’t think I can ~~right~~ write any better.

Thanks for the mention joe.

PC Load Letter? What the fuck does that mean?

I just did that!

I don’t know why, but it came to almost one per page that I posted – anything with the subline: “I know it’s” was me.

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!!!"

Dammit.

I kind of backed off writing for them because a) writers block blows and b) I have my own stuff to worry about – I guess when I uploaded it for the article they snagged it for their stock images. :(

No matter who wins the Chicago-Nashville series . . .

let’s face it, we all lose.

Which is great, because my favorite football team just drafted . . . Tim fucking Tebow. Good God, kill me now.

St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.

saw that last night

and they did some wheeling and dealing. Tebow would’ve been there I think.
Gotta say though he’s a winner and a worker and a straight laced guy that doesn’t seem prone to trouble.
You may be surprised.

And Denver is my favorite team unless they’re playing the Rams, then it’s a hard decision.
Hubby is a Green Bay fan, we have a few awesome football fights each season
