It’s A Skate To The Throat Kind of Sunday

I’ve never tried to hide what Game 7s do to me. They make me a wreck, nothing but a shadow of the calm, composed, well adjusted adult I am on most other days.
For fans of other teams, with expectations much lower than ours? A Game 7 can mean opportunity, a new way of life even. If they win, oh the rapture.
Us? All we imagine is horror.
So let’s avoid that shall we?
Let’s go ahead and press down. Slice the mother through and through. Skate to the throat. Press down for the sake of domestic animals from Michigan to Malibu.
13 to 12.
9 until Redemption begins.

Okay, okay, I get it. Just pointing out that it’s not a ‘historical’ style. Sheesh.
Actually you’re dead on. It’s a very recent phenomenon. Traditional English IPA, different animal. But enough of this. Game time!

I wouldn’t count out Jwill just yet. Kenny moves in mysterious ways.

In Foxborough???
And you told me you don’t watch football. I think you’re actually from east Detroit.

No Doan. Custance says he was spotted in a hoodie.
Works for me.
Jwil gone for Happy next season.
Works for me.

Let’s do this. This little one of mine hasn’t yet lived through a Red Wings loss (in three days here) and I see no reason to start today.

I try to, but it’s kinda hard to follow (no time, mostly). But I try to keep up for fantasy purposes.

Kronwall shoulda taken the op to “Kronwall” DC(!)

Wife has decided that now is the perfect time to download Skype, with limited bandwidth and me trying to watch the game. I’ll be in and out.

Feel like Chandler… too… many… possibilities.

Andrew,
It’s Birnie Moss, a highly peaty single malt, which is very unlike your typical Speyside, I prefer that smoky flavor you really only get from the outer isles, and this is pretty good for something from the mainland.

Did Milbury just say that Zetterberg isn’t that good at stick-handling or skating?
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 04/25/10 at 04:12 PM ET
Z doesn’t shoot the puck that well. Holy Christ. Milbury has officially said it all now.

Make it a Cohiba Robusto, and make sure it’s Habanos SA, not that Dominican papier-mache besmirching their good name.

Sonofabitch…an Ashton VSG Torpedo, please.

Except “I’m here to tender my resignation”.

Jeeze thisi Zetterberg guy must really suck ass. Dinglebury sure would make a gret GM huh?
Posted by WestWing from Portland, Oregon on 04/25/10 at 04:15 PM ET
A 2PM game time on NBC and at 2:15 no puckdrop in sight? Who’da thought?
Posted by MarkK from Maryland on 04/25/10 at 04:15 PM ET
No fuching around today - - take the Dogs to the Woodshed early and often.
No Doan - - maybe the hockey gods are pleased.
Lets do this.

Bert’s humping the boards. Does that man know no shame?

Rafalski on Howard: “he’s more solid every game and getting better”
if he gets any better, he’ll start scoring goals.

Pierre: “You guys are older than dick and if you don’t win you’ll die of natural causes before May—how do you close this one out?”

Lets hope not - - wouldn’t it be nice to see him steam-rolling today

Damn these sunday afternoon games! The only thing worse than riding the stress train is riding the stress train with a hangover. What the hell did I drink last night??

Ah, my cunning plan worked.
which is very unlike your typical Speyside, I prefer that smoky flavor you really only get from the outer isles
Erm, if you want a peaty malt that tastes like an Islay malt, why not just drink an Islay malt? You can’t say Laphroaig doesn’t bring the peat. Or do you have an aversion to the saltiness of the Islay malts?
More ads, puck drop nowhere to be seen. Now THIS is the NBC I remember.

*Bert humping the boards, Jovanoski looks over at him disgusted*
Bert: You’re next, bitch. BOOGA BOOGA!
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 04/25/10 at 04:19 PM ET
Jeebus, NBC. It’s already 11:18 am here in Las Vegas and you ain’t dropped the fuching puck already? Commercials, interview by DC with Rafi, and then you cut to the fuching commercials AGAIN???

+19 to the 19.
Let’s roll over this motherfauxing live blog like it’s no one’s business.
