Yeah, but like I experienced when shopping for a wedding cake—the sample cakes you eat in their store aren’t necessarily what you get in your final cake. They are giving you their best stuff at the tasting. My wedding cake looked beautiful, but ended up tasting rather meh. The place went out of business about 10 years ago.

I was about to post “I saw the one off the post” and then Torres scores.

This is my Cerberus .sig, while the regular one is on the DL.

Raffi Torres? That’s… troubling.

Goal, Canucks. 1-0. Kesler.

That would be a real back-breaker. What, 18 seconds to go?

Were the Canucks offside? What do the rest of you think?

As long as that skate was on the ice, he held up enough for the puck to beat him in.

Hard to tell. NBC did not give a great angle of it.

Some SCoC folks reviewed, said barely onside.

by VorAbaddon on Jun 1, 2011 11:12 PM EDT up reply actions  

Versus showed a good replay

It was close, but clearly, it was onsides. Canucks fan missy watching the game on CBC says CBC showed an angle that showed the game thing. Onsides.

Dear Boston,

Sorry about that.

Sincerely,
Raffi Torres

(P.S.: Not really sorry. That was fucking sweet.)

Keslurked

VERSTEEG never got "called up" to play in the NHL, he called up the NHL and the league jumped at the chance to play hockey with him.

Every time i see Kesler play i think why couldnt the canucks not have matched that almost 2 million dollar qualifying offer the flyers made to him back in 06. Kind of think the flyers were hoping jeff carter might be that overall player like him. Carter is good but he’s just lacking that umph but then again he’s been hexed the last two playoff years.

Right before Torres scored I said “I don’t think I will be able to handle this game if it goes into overtime” and boom…. goal!!! That was an intense game (even though I missed the 2nd and half of the third while trying to safely get home from Boston because of the thunderstorms).

And for the record….. wayyy too many fairweather/bandwagon fans around here.

by JLS89 on Jun 2, 2011 12:30 AM EDT reply actions  

For me, it was more like Torres scored that goal immediately after I convinced myself it was going to overtime.

by DragonGirl0583 on Jun 2, 2011 12:33 AM EDT up reply actions  

You and the entire Bruins team. :p

I was thinking OT but with the way the game was going, I just had bad feelings about it. I thought that the B’s would win if it went to OT.
