Oh wow, A Bullocks Oriole just landed on my Hummer feeder to siphon a drink of sugar water. It could be the same pair that first arrived last spring and nested nearby. Didn’t have the camera set up, but they are beauties. Here is a pic from last year.
I miss Gary Thorne too. Definitely the best play-by-play man in hockey. Mike Emrick’s not bad, but he’s no Gary Thorne.
I’m agnostic on Habs vs. Pens, rooting for the Habs because they’re not the Canucks.
But Die, Redwings, Die.

Gimme Pat Foley any day for play-by-play.

Its an open thread..so I’ll throw this out. It seems to me that so many policies enacted by our friends the repubs have centered around “socializing losses and privatizing gains”. After thinking about it, even our immigration policy (or the lack thereof) is another example. We have socialized the losses (that is the social safety net providing services to the children of illegal immigrants, and ER care) and privatized the gains (that is american biz owners getting the increased profits associated with low wages, and depressing wages/benefits of legal citizens). It is so diabolical that so many policies would end up transferring wealth from ordinary taxpayers to the Oligarhy (ala GB). As thick as many right wingers are, they have leaders that are as dangerous and brilliant as any external enemy ever in the history of our republic.
Cup will get raised in June. Then they let the ice melt for 90 days before the camps open for the next season. Hockey is one of the few VERY GOOD THINGS the GOP, Arizona, Mississippi, or BP hasn’t ruined for everyone else.
I would love to see the Phoenix Coyotes publicly denounce the “breathing while brown” law.
Fight! OK, sorta of a fight. Not like the good old days but dayam that stick upside Crosby’s head was a cheap shot. I don’t think that was inadvertant.

Good God, that Sharks game was a nailbiter. I remember leaving the bar saying “That’s it, they’re down 3-1 with 12 minutes to go in the third, there’s no way they’re going to win this” and getting home just in time to hear Marleau put them over the top in overtime. Seriously, what the hell.

That was a hell of a game! Pens/Habs is going seven and I don’t dare predict the winner. Awesome matchup.
As far as the Wings/Sharks goes… holy hell. Hey Sharks, you’ve built this rep for melting down horribly in every post-season, it’d be nice if you could go back to doing that again before us Wings fans begin jumping off roofs, kthxbye.

Let’s go Habs. Things are hopping at the Bell Centre right now.

How the hell is hockey not done yet? Hockey during the fourth week of baseball season just seems wrong.

‘Habs’ comes from the French “les habitants”, the original settlers of the region.
Unless you were joking. Go Rangers, lol.

This post is incorrect. It should be titled “Sharks v. Red Wings, Game Three”, and the content should be “Let’s Go Sharks!”.

Are the fans as retarded in Pittsburgh as they are in Montreal? Because I want Pittsburgh to win as quickly as possible.

@Crza: No thanks, we prefer these Sharks out here in the Bay Area. You’ve had your fun.
@Sirkowski: Hockey fans are retarded everywhere. Moreso on Dallas and Denver.
