GAME ONE
.........................................
It was why hockey on its highest level is great.
All the sports writers will say, "Oh, well, no one gets Versus anyway, so who really cares?"
Blah Blah.
Can we retire that joke?
Fact of the matter -- we got Versus and some other people probably do, too.
If you don't have Versus, get a job or just watch the NBA like ESPN wants you to.
In between a TV timeout, cheerleaders dancing, players blatantly traveling, and someone complaining about a foul, Tim Duncan scores against some white dudes.
The NBA is a joke.
Both teams looked fresh and ready to roll.
It was hit or be hit.
We know everyone's precious football is rough.
But at any given time in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, if you're not paying attention, you could die.
Ottawa opened up the scoring on the powerplay.
Mike Fisher's shot got deflected. Typical lucky Senators crap. 1-0.
But the Ducks are solid.
They jobbed around, and the puck found its way to the Finnish Flash(TM).
He passes it to Old McDonald.
Old Macdonald had a goal.
Bitch.
1-1.
Too bad Frank Reich owns.
On to second....
The Senators lucked into some Powerplays.
Giggy doesn't know whats going on.
2-1 Sens. It might be over.
But the Ducks are sick.
They just keep coming.
They stay the course and ready themselves for the third.
You know what is coming.
Ryan Getzlaf gets the party started with a cheap goal to tie it.
Give the Sens credit. They fought back.
It was end-to-end action. Good times.
Finally the Ducks went ahead, thanks to Travis Moen.
Giggy shuts the door.
Game.

-Gary Bettman.
...Bettman also addressed some things in his State of the NHL:
- Bettman said he expects league revenues to have increased between 6.5 - 7.0 % this season, which means the $44-million salary cap will likely rise to between $48 million or $49 million for next season.
- More games in Europe or an increased presence in Europe will also continue to be a focus for the NHL
.....Some guy is the new GM of the Coyotes.
.....Andrei Markov gets a huge deal.
Nat King Cole.
He just dominated.
We'll start in the 80's as usual.
Don't dream It's over

From now on Tuesdays will be top five of a certain Artist/Band.
Tomorrow is Tuesdays with:
Phil Collins.
Just so we can get him out of the way.
Let us remind everyone that love wouldn't have existed in the 80's if it wasn't for Phil Collins.
He wrote the book.

Tough, But We'll Take The Point. PENS LOSE.
Never have I thought about sympathizing with the Seattle Seahawks fans, but now I know how it feels like to think a game that you could've easily won was tainted by questionable officiating. We're not complaining because the Ducks didn't really do anything to merit trips to the penalty box, but a couple of the Penguin penalties were questionable calls. Either way, you don't have to be making excuses when the best team in the NHL squeaks by you in overtime.
Box Score:
Crap we said:
- Strong performance by Thibault tonight. You can't go on and on about it because there were no highlight-reel saves, but he kept the Pens in the game. He looks weird in net, and that's probably because we're used to Fleury this year.
- Orpik had a huge hit and a solid game. Anyone remember who Welch laid out in the first period? Wow. Welch had a nice game but has to cut down on the penalties.
- Maxime Talbot is a maniac.
- Apparently, doing a Super Fly Jimmy Snooka into a player from behind and choking him with your stick only merits a two-minute minor for roughing. We are talking, of course, about Pronger flying into the zone to lay out Ekman. Ekman had it coming, though.

I don't care if it makes me petty, after how badly the Sens fans and the Canadian media made fun of the Pens for being soft in the first round, I enjoyed the hell out of watching the Ducks bitchslap the Senators up and down the ice last night. I still have a smile on my face.
All of Ottawa has to be nervous as hell. They got owned last night.
I don't care what anyone says, Phil Collins' version of Groovy Kind of Love rules. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6k-J5l1d_A

giguere is sick, probably the most underrated goalie in the league...maybe not to hardcore hockey fans, but i really doubt the casual fan gives him enough respect.
p.c. in the bone thugs video is hilarious, he's just standin around lookin like a badass.
are these videos being restricted to his solo career or can we throw in some genesis?

and heres some phil without genesis

That was an awesome game last night. To my surprise, I actually took great pleasure in counting how many give aways Jason Spezza made. I think that will have to be my new drinking game. I was actually kinda rooting for those Canadians too. Oh and where was Daniel Alfredsson? He totally lived up to his reputation and completely disappeared last night. I also still completely hate Chris Pronger. What a douche. But I have to admit Getzlaf = Awesome. Him and Selanne were just on every puck last night. They were huge.

Bottom line is this game was in Anaheim. The Ducks were supposed to win, and had to pull out 2 third period goals to do it.
This series goes 6 games MINIMUM. - This comment has been removed by the author.

I agree, the game last night was fantastic. 3 things that would have made it even better:
Pronger knocking out more of Heatley's teeth
A Ric Jackman goal and the subsequent toothless grin that would have followed
Brad May jobbing in a goal
That first Sens goal reminded me of that cheap ass garbage goal they got in Pittsburgh that floated up high in the air and landed in the net....credited to Chris Neil, I think!?
Lee Flowers....didn't he make that "paper champions" comment!? :) -
Awesome Game 1. Doesn't quite match up to last year's Finals Game 1 (remember the Canes coming back from 3-0?) but still hell of a great game to watch.

(not phil collins, just Phil) -
...and yep, the videos I suggested can be put on WEDNESDAY's blog, since Phil Collins dominates tonight.
hahaha -
I don't think I'll ever get sick of the Mighty Ducks references. I love District 5 pee-wee hockey!
Seriously, Ray Emery is going to cost the Senators the Cup. Bet on it. -
Yo dude! You obviously in the wrong hood. This is my dominion, and it's a drug free zone. You understand? Now I'm feelin' generous today. So I'm gonna let you get your sorry vanilla booty out of here before we be usin' your eyeballs as hockey pucks!

Gangsta's Paradise reminded of this little piece of excellence from the mid 90s.
1,2,3,4
Coolio had some bad, bad videos.
Also, how good did it feel to see Ottawa getting tossed around last night. How awesome would it have been had the Ducks scored on that play where Alfredsson bobbled the puck at the blue line and then got jacked and turned it over? -
You're all a bunch of Phil Collins jobbers. Best song he ever did was with Genesis, and it's a little diddy called "That's All"
http://youtube.com/watch?v=gKUkZcI0pD8
I dare you not to think about your ex-gf while you listen to that. My dream (pre RATM-reunion news) was for Audioslave to cover that song.. how sick would Chris Cornell's vocals have been? - This comment has been removed by the author.

1st thing's first.....QUACK, QUACK, QUACK!!!
2nd thing.....I was just listening to Gangsta's Paradise the night before it was posted. Then 1, 2, 3, 4 was posted in thecommentorblog, which reminded me of Fantastic Voyage....craziness.(Btw, Amish Paradise made me laugh from beginning to end...haha.)
3rd thing.....it’s gonna be hard to pick just 5 songs sung by Phil--whether he was with Genesis or not. But my favorites (in alphabetical order) are Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now), Another Day In Paradise, Easy Lover, Everyday, Groovy Kind of Love, I Don’t Care Anymore, In the Air Tonight, Sussudio, Take Me Home, That’s All & You Can't Hurry Love.

Things I learned last night:
the definition of highway robbery - the pens getting out of there with a point
Move over Orpik, Welch is the new landlord of the sin bin
Ryan Whitney hates the game of hockey
I want to donkey punch Pronger (I wonder if he pads his vag like he does his small feet)
and yes, talbot is a maniac hahaha
