Game Two
1 - 0
Yeah, we can basically skip to the third period of this game.
The first two periods were mud.
One or two flurries in front of the net that made broadcaster Mike Emrick have a vocal orgasm is all you need to know about the first 40 minutes.
It was easily comparable to a game of soccer.
Except for the fact that athletes were playing in this game.
A third period starting 0-0 is always interesting.
But when it's in late May and in the Stanley Cup Finals, wear a jock 'cause your testicles will fall off.
Ed Olczyk is a big-time performer. What a color commentator.
It almost makes us forget he was such an awful coach.
Eddie Olczyk sulks after Mario tells him,
"Yeah, that play you just drew up, it's not going to work."
Under 6 minutes to play in the 3rd period of a Stanley Cup Finals game, the defense is tighter than Big Ben's arm in a home playoff game.
Six.
But here comes the Ducks' Sammy Paulsson streaking down the right wing,
cuts inside, uses Lee Malvo as a screen, and snaps it past Ray Emery.
Give yourself up, pee on the guy, do something.
This guy is your captain?
You can have all your goals.
Give your body up, dick.
Wow.
Hey, at least you made it there, Dan...fag
The best chance that the Sens had to tie it came a little later.
Paul Schaefer stared at a wide-open net.
The entire nation of Canada on his stick.
But he takes a huge dump, hitting the side of the net.

Game #14
November 10, 2006
Ouch. PENS LOSE
Five minutes into the third, Peter Schaefer strikes again, this time with a goal to make it 5-2. About three minutes after that, Maxime Talbot scores a shorthanded goal and it's now 5-3. I'm not gonna lie; that goal perked me up a little bit. We needed another goal before the 15-minute mark to make it interesting, but it just wasn't meant to be. Dany Heatley, his hands still covered in blood, scores again for Ottawa with five minutes left and that was it.
Box Score
Crap we said:
- What is wrong with Colby Armstrong this year? Crosby hit him with a perfect pass in the slot, and Army didn't even have his stick down.
- How awful was the officiating? We'll complain about officiating even if we win, so we're not just finding excuses here. What happened to interference penalties? And that terd hooking Crosby when he was on his way to the net? What a joke.
- On the play where Whitney blindly cleared it to the point, Steigerwald said that it wasn't like Whitney; that it was a panic play and Whitney never panics. Has he been watching the same games that we've been watching? He consistently makes plays like that, but they don't always end up in a goal being scored.
- Steigerwald also said in the broadcast that Whitney is our break-out pass defenseman. ok.

Solid piece.
Pens signed winger Tim Wallace.
Who?
A Notre Dame alum who was in the Pens training camp last year.
A million dollars there is a golfer on the PGA Tour with the same name.
KC is one step closer to the NHL.
He's coaching in the Minnesota Wild system.
Speaking of Minnesota...
How pathetic was Jon Casey.
Have you seen a more deflated human being than Jon Casey after Larry Murphy scored the 8th goal in Game 6?
This picture is the reason the internet was invented.

Featuring Phil Collins.
How dominant is Phil Collins --
You search "Genesis" in Google, and Phil Collin's band's Wiki page is a higher result than the first book of The Bible.
We planned to only have five Phil Collins videos.
But we couldn't contain ourselves.
Here is ten Phil Collins.
You can't rank them...because they all are sick
Thanks to:
Karri, Tiff, Phill, J Schiff, Anyomous, Phil, Dying Alive, Pete, Jason ,Tee, Joe, Dee, CJ,
and to everyone else who we forgot for submitting videos.
.............................
First up:
What a song.
"Another Day in Paradise"
A few people put this one through.
It may have already been on Musicblog.
Phil Collins had sex with every woman in the bar after this:
"Sussudio"
"Don't Lose My Number"
This video makes no sense.
It is awesome.
"Take Me Home"
It doesn't get much better.
Phil Collins does have a weird-shaped head
"Doesn't Anyone Stay Together"
Live performance.
It is what life is all about.
"That's All"
As Tee said:
"I dare you not to think about your ex-gf while you listen to that."
So true.
Almost speechless for this one.
If you had a time machine...and you didn't go back in time to see the Ultimate Warrior wrestle, you're gay.
"Everyday"
What a relaxing song.
"You'll Be In My Heart"
What a tear-jerking 4-minute ride of a song this is.
But when you talk Phil Collins, you talk this song.
Stunning video.
"In The Air Tonight"
One bonus track:
"Can't Hurry Love"
We need to start a petition to get Phil Collins to sing a National Anthem at the Mellon.
Could you imagine Gary Roberts, Mark Eaton, and Phil Collins in the same building?
Other unreal Phil Collins songs:
"Two Hearts"
"Invisible Touch"
"Land of Confusion"
"Jesus He Knows Me"
"In Too Deep"
"I Can't Dance"
"No Son of Mine"
The more you think about it, the more it comes to realization that Phil Collins is under-appreciated in the world.

Game #13
Discontinued Chevrolet Car Scores In OT. PENS LOSE.
"But then Ryan Whitney reminded us why we have a love/hate relationship with him. In the middle of an excellent shift, he tries to get a shot through three Lightning players. It hits a player's leg and bounces to the boards. I saw what was coming in slow motion. I saw Lecavalier breaking; St. Louis getting the puck on the boards; St. Louis springing him on a breakaway with an unbelievable pass and Vinny undressing Fleury like he was an altar boy at a Catholic priest weekend retreat.
Game."
The only thing Ekman did all year.

- Crosby-Ekman-Armstrong looks solid
- Malkin-Recchi-Staal will be dominating within the next two games
- Pens did an OK job staying out of the box tonight
- You gotta love Ekman smiling on the bench after scoring his third goal
- If you didn't stand up in your living room as soon as Lecavalier got that puck in OT, you're not a hockey fan.

Yea, I just looked it up. It is interchangeable with Nils. Not that I didn't believe you guys.
Malkin was only gonna survive for so long as a winger. He's adapting to smaller rinks...and then he has to learn a new position. I bet it's tough.
I really like the potential of the recchi-malkin-staal line.
and F the 'Ning.
Wow, AC really thought the Recchi-Malkin-Staal line was gold.

GAME ONE
.........................................
3 - 2
What more could you ask for the opening game of a Stanley Cup Finals?
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.
What a first period.
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.
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.

The rest of the first saw more hard hits than Warren Moon's wife.
NFL Hall of Famer.
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.

It was nice to see the Sens scrambling for a change.

"When we had the chance to go back to Minnesota, we did. Because it made sense, the right ownership, the right building situation," said Bettman. "The market was strong and vibrant. We haven't studied Quebec City or Winnipeg or anywhere else in Canada, but the notion that if it could work to put a franchise back in a place where one was lost, feels good - provided we don't wind up in a situation where we've created a prescription for another failing franchise.
-Gary Bettman.
...Bettman also addressed some things in his State of the NHL:
.....Some guy is the new GM of the Coyotes.
.....Andrei Markov gets a huge deal.
-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

Game #12
November 6, 2006
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.

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.
-
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
