The Stanley Cup Finals continued last night, as the Senators fell to the Duckzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Listen, hockey, I want to like you. I really do. But it's just not working out. It's not you; it's me. So I'll make this quick: here's the game recap, and some hockey fans will certainly have fun things to say in the comments. And I'll be sure to do another post about this fine sport when those big men skate around with the shiny old trophy.
And now, back to surfing for porn. Or, as the Internet kids call it, "pr0n." Mmmm… prawns.

the fact that a team from orange county, ca named after a movie makes it all that much harder for me to care about hockey. not to mention that i am a bitter sabres fan.
The NFL tag you accidentally put on here will make this post 200% more popular, sadly.
Down 3-1, let's just hope Dany Heatley doesn't do something stupid and drive drunk, crash his car into a tree and kill someone.
Too soon?
Oops, good catch, jimmy. It's corrected. Must've been wishful thinking on my part.
When does football start?
If hockey was a person, it would be the mutual friend who your friends are always trying to set you up with because she has "a great personality."
Also, Xtreme skating would be the friend who everyone knows is gay but who is in denial about it.
BOHP – but will she put out?
If there ain't nobody named Booby playing I ain't watching.
Isn't that a Flying Dragon Side Snap Kick?
She's the type of girl who used to be hot a couple of years back, but then she went away for some reason. When she came back — Yea, not so much anymore. But she's still around, and even though she doesn't hang out at the same bars you frequent, one of these days you'll get drunk and start looking for her again.
People these days are all about "the octagon" and yet no love for a sport that *allows* fighting? You have guys who crushing left and right. You have slapshots faster than MLB fastballs. You have guys who AREN'T getting arrested on a weekly basis. You had a team in the Edmonton Oilers last season who bucked the odds and went from being the 8th seed out west to nearly winning it all (see: better version of the Golden State Warriors.)
I'm not saying people should love hockey. I'm just honestly surprised it isn't that popular.
As for the game last night, its the second time that a star Ducks defenseman was out with a suspension for a vicious hit… and the Ducks still won. The Ducks are one game short of winning their first Stanley Cup ever, and I don't think this series is even go six games. Expect a parade in Disneyland by week's end… with one of them maybe even being for the Ducks.
I'd like to meet the people who say that these days are all about "the octagon." They probably look like these guys - [leehotti.com]
Ty, you should know better than anyone, a flute with no holes, is not a flute; and a sport, without fans, is just the NHL.
it kills me that places like tampa, carolina, and now anaheim will have a stanley cup before buffalo.
1. Heatley wasn't drunk when Snyder was killed, just driving too fast.
2. I thought all posts were supposed to be no longer than 4 lines?
3.NHL posts should be no longer than 4 words. 'Hey, good game eh?'
They need to combine NHL hockey and NASCAR to make a real sport.
Weed Against Speed -
Well, that's the thing. She's the type who you'd see out, and she looks OK, but not really that enticing, so you take a pass. Then the one weekend you stay home, you start hearing rumors that she got even easier and now has impants.
sorry – impLants.
Freudian slip?
@ Hail - I think its safe to say that the strike/lockout (and the resulting issues with TV rights), turned a heck of a lot of people off from the NHL. Folks only have so much disposable $, time and attention, and the NHL fucked themselves w/ the loss of the 04/05 season (loss of season tix holders, loss of income and of course, loss of INTEREST).
The lockout may have been a necessity for the long-term survival of the league financially, but the NHL should have known the ramifications of the worst-case scenario: a completely lost season.
dola,
Hockey is a great sport (particularly live), but its too much of a niche activity to be able to comeback from the lockout. Folks have already moved on to other events (i.e. UFC)
I am still under the impression that there is no puck, and that it is digitally put in during the game.
@ atari
agree 100% hockey is so much better live than on TV
@Co
i wouldnt mind carolina winning if they were still in fucking HARTFORD where they belong, LONG LIVE THE WHALE! but fuck carolina….
@ raymes
this is how i read your post – "i wouldn't mind carolina winning….mmm boobs….but fuck carolina"
RaymesDah dah dah -dunta dun dunta – dah dah dunta dunta dah!
Whalers!
agreed raymes, i went to school with some hardcore whaler fans. the same can be said about the avalanche.
RBD: I believe that's called a "shining wizard."
What the hell was with Ottawa diving like they were taught hockey by Crisitano Ronaldo? Emery got a powerplay because of his diving. Fucking asshole.
Tampa, we can only hope that the Murderer kills someone else, my nomination is Daniel Alfredsson…and maybe himself.
Also, Alfredsson should get some sort of rebuking for that slapshot he laid into Niedermayer (funny that I can spell Nieuwendyk correctly, but not Niedermayer). I hope it comes in the form of a Chris Pronger fist in his face, as he skates past. Maybe then I'll actually believe that Pronger is worthy of touching the Hallowed Hardware.
And now, back to surfing for porn.
That reminds me, Matsuzaka's going tonight against the A's…
@ knuts
yeah thats pretty much what i meant… especially since Matsuzaka is up tonight
What is this sport that we talk about with men on knives playing on a slippery surface?
Man I hate hockey, and it is fun hating it in Canada even though you are outnumbered, 'cause you know you are right that it sucks and there are always smart Americans helping to back you up, America rules.
No its now you, its hockey. Watching hockey as your getting a sunburn doesnt work.
And dont get me wrong: the sport of hockey is way more exciting than golf, baseball, football will ever be but NHL playoffs are about as entertaining as an eastern conference playoff game in the NBA.
Of course, I blame it all on their trophies: the Lord Stanley and the Lady Bing.
Matsuzaka? huh? are we talking about ninjas? i'm too busy watching the hockey finals to worry about ninjas. these games have been great despite only 20 people watching it on TV.
@raymes: aren't all sports better live than on tv? well i guess except for golf and other dozing sports. i love my couch on a rainy golf day…sunday right? golf is on sundays?
@Co: Buffalo lost because they weren't good enough. just like football, baseball, etc. I'm looking forward to Daniel B the free agent being a captain in Philly next year!
@philly
obviously all sports are better live, but football, baseball, and basketball are watchable for 9/10 people on TV. most people cant follow the puck on tv, HD has helped those poor souls, and Fox tried to fuck it all up with that comet puck (that sucked harder than paris on any given day)
also, i dont think even if buffalo made the finals, they would have won a game vs the ducks. they play such a strong physical game that no one in the east can stand up to them.
The only way to get someone in to hockey is to take them to a hardcore game, live. No one who goes to an original 6 rival game can walk away indifferent. Heck, if you're close enough to the boards, even a sens game can be entertaining ;)
also…go leafs. let's at least make the playoffs next year! (she says, pathetic with hope)
"Co60 says
it kills me that places like tampa, carolina, and now anaheim will have a stanley cup before buffalo."
and Dallas
Too soon?
I was a season Tix holder for the Stars from 94-2004. Eff em after the lockout.
Last hockey game of the season will be tonight, bet your life on it.
Over/under of Oilers fans throwing up watching Pronger lift the Cup? 80%
