You are the ones who are the ball lickers!
Will I ever get to where I'm going?
If I do, will I know when I am there?

I figured out what channel Versus was on here (thanks, Versus, for actually having a “find our channel by putting your zip code” function.) but someone’s watching a movie in the TV lounge thing.

Okay, that was cool. I hate the crowd singing along with the anthem singer, but… when they sing half the song without the anthemist, that’s awesome.

That wouldn’t happen in America…not enough people know it. Even those that are paid to sing it.

With hockey being my favorite sport, sometimes I wish I was Canadian. They’re just so…proud at all times to be hockey fans. Most of our national pride in hockey comes (occasionally) every four years.

Bruins are converting their power plays at a 7.69% rate this post-season. Pathetic.

Whoa. Burrows clearly bit Bergeron in that scrum at the end of the period. That should be a suspension.
I understand why people do not want the Bruins to win here, but I am telling you, the Canucks are one dirty hockey team.

They are. But they didn’t beat us on their way to the Finals. I want Boston eradicated. I want to hear the lamentation of their women.

I was just watching something—Cake Boss, I think—and there was this woman with the most nasal NY accent, almost Fran Drescher-like. Yuck. I feel similarly about thick Philly and Boston accents. They are like nails on a chalkboard to me.

You watch that show? Those fricken cakes are awesome.

Most of the people who would buy those cakes don’t buy them for the taste, I imagine. HOWEVER, I have a friend who makes cakes like that and the ones she makes are freaking delicious, so who knows?

But the people who buy those cakes usually still go in for a tasting before they order the cake, so a lot of them probably do taste pretty good.

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.

Too true. I’m actually really disappointed that I didn’t get to fully enjoy the cake my friend had at her wedding last weekend; it would have tasted awesome if it wasn’t sort of stale by the time I got to eat it the next day. Such a waste…

Agree. I don’t mind his writing and goofy pop culture comparisons and he actually knows what he’s talking about in basketball most of the time…but jumping on the Bruins bandwagon after not following them for years….oh i just HATE that.

Welcome to Boston… everyone and their grandmother has jumped onto the bandwagon. I’m shocked that I’m still alive after watching the first period in Boston tonight…. But then again, I don’t openly say that I follow the Flyers, I just get annoyed when people give me crap about not rooting for the B’s and I’m like “Well, too bad cause I’m not changing.” cause I’m not.
Tim Thomas is Tim Thomas-ing.

OK getting here REALLY late
But in the last 10 minutes of playing time, it seems like Thomas has had the more challenging saves. Has that been true all game?
This is my Cerberus .sig, while the regular one is on the DL.
From what I’ve been seeing, but he’s also getting some lucky breaks.

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.

Sorry about that.

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