Dear Scottrade, notice the WORKING ESCALATOR! Dear Louie, notice YOU'RE NOT WEARING ANY PANTS!

Ugh. The only game on at the hockey bar last night was from the National Basketball Association. Yes, two of the most riveting teams in the history of riveting teams - The Washington ~~Bullets~~ Wizards and The ~~Team Formerly Known As Yao Ming's Tall~~ Houston Rockets.

I ain't bitter. I just am stumped for things for you to read, especially with everyone road tripping to Peoria.

The No. 1 song at the time of Chris Stewart's birth: I just played this song.

The No. 1 song at the time of Jason Arnott's birth: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Great, now it's stuck in my head.

DRUM ROLL And the No. 1 song in the UK at the time of this stupid girl's approximate birth. Only chicken nuggets and fries for food? For 15 years? Of course she was hospitalised. See what I did there with the UK spelling and everything? I shit you not.

Day 4 of my no BLOOZOCKEY depression

I got dressed, I think I’ll go down to the park and let the pigeons shit on me.

Just a chew toy for the hockey gods

It could be worse.

You could be a Blue Jackets fan with nothing to look forward too after the break but more embarrassment.

All-Star Games, in any sport, suck.

That is all.

All rules go out the window if the play in question occurs during a game including the St. Louis Blues franchise. All ruling shall go against said franchise.

6'9" and 260#

of torque.

Why is it that the hardest shooters are Dmen.
Chara, Weber, MacInnis, Souray, Aucain, Iafrate
In the KHL skills comp the hardest shot was won by Kulyash a Dman at 110 (taken with a grain of salt but still)
The only winner not a Dman is Federov.

Dear God.

Picture MacInnis with a graphite stick. He’d have to nickname his twig “The .88 Magnum”.

by BleedBlue42 on Jan 29, 2012 1:55 AM CST up reply actions

No, no, no...

…it’d be the “Ma Deuce,” as we Army types refer to the M2 .50-caliber machine gun.

M2. Macinnis 2. It’s a natural.

My theory is...

…the hardest shooters are defensemen because they spend the most time practicing the one-timer and the big slapper from the point.

I think more people

were saying the Chara team was going to dominate the skills competition.
That’s why you play.
Team Alfredsson wins going away.
Elliott did great and looked like he was having fun at the same time.

Let’s hope he does good tomorrow and no one gets injured.

I plan on playing a drinking game today

Take a shot for every goal scored.

This should be fun.

I suggest having a group of three and each pick a person – Crosby, Ovechkin, Lidstrom. Drink every time your guy is mentioned during the periods – not intermission. Tally your scores at the end, or whoever is left standing, wins! YAY!

Rock – Paper – Scissors – Lizard – Spock or Ninja – Cowboy – Bear to figure out who drafts first.
