I woke up at 7:30am, picked up and replaced 3 toilets with duel flush low flows, smashed the old high flows and brought them to the dump with a old water cooler and lawn mower then cut up and recycled all the cardboard boxes, I hate you right now. On a side note I’ve justified drinking tonight alone at home while watching the game.
mike and i are drinking infront of my telly with a plate of veggies and dip. and the remainder of kees’ chocolate.
oh yes, I’m not coming haha. sorry, forgot to text you

beatty is also not coming. BoL is still TBD but i’d guess not coming.

yellow is more rad. which is why nashville is awesome.

slow ≠ bad. last year he was great at pushing the play forward against tough comp. this year the entire team sucked and his stats reflect that

Nice of them to honour him on a CBC broadcast night so he doesn’t have to give up any pay. Did I mention his other business venture: Rallyface?
WI and I are laying bets on which of you guys’ kids cause a real life version of “Contagion”. I took d_p_h’s as the most likely bio-threat.
my little savage is the silent killer, she gets it but hardly shows signs then everyone around her gets deathly sick
we need to figure figure out a name for the next savage en route, at the moment it is refered to as ‘peanut’
thanks buddy, I got a present for you that I’ll give you next time I see you for your next hockey trip to another city. I just recently found it and no worries it didn’t cost me anything but it’s perfect for you.
is it a flames crown ?! lol i’ll prob see you march 4 !!!

probably pancakes, actually. i think penner only ever eats pancakes now.

I still feel dirty every time I see TK on the 2nd line, it feel wrong… On a side note related to the 2nd line, I can’t wait to see Glenx and Cammi weave a magic tapastry for points together
fuck why can’t this team just get healthy already

Re: Daz’s comment about horseshit…

Corb Lund
overheard at my recording session: “i’m more familiar with cowshit than horseshit..” InNeedOfContext
how long do we have to wait this game before we get reminded that we are the only team in the league with no SH goal this year (like we don’t already know that). oh wait, HNIC, we might not get “reminded”
well said… How many times a year do we have a week where HNIC does NOT involve a TO game. The early games could be Van in Win, Ott in Mon and Car in TO and they’ll probably show the TO game.
Vancouverites had to crawl out of bed today for an early morning home game versus Toronto.

mostly whupped. no player on that team right now will ever play in the nhl

by Justin Azevedo on Feb 18, 2012 7:38 PM PST up reply actions
As long as we are going to suck, I think I should at least get drunk. Unfortunately, WI doesn’t want to play redline with me. I think we need to bring Will back from Van for the next month or so.
drinking till someone gives up I would bet.
by Justin Azevedo on Feb 18, 2012 7:41 PM PST up reply actions
Every time the puck crosses the red line you have to drink. Beers go by pretty quickly, typically more than 2 a period.
sweet, sounds like a great game, question is why doesn’t wi want to play, it’s Sat and Mon is a stat holiday?
you say this like you believe i have a job…. :)

I refuse to acknowledge that there is any appealing feature to Kevin Weekes to any person, ever.
he’s not unattractive, i guess, but he annoys me like very few people annoy me

given the # of 3 pt games we’ve had with teams in teh playoff hunt.. I don’t think we can complain too much.
*mike just asked who 21 is. didn’t get the before and after joke. i should’ve said “david hale”

on the jbo thing? no, hrudey’s right on that. joker needs to show he wants possession.
by Justin Azevedo on Feb 18, 2012 8:04 PM PST up reply actions
jaybouw also has a good outlet (generally) and joker has trouble gaining the zone with the puck (oftentimes). so this was maybe not the best example
by walkinvisible on Feb 18, 2012 8:06 PM PST up reply actions
I didn’t check FN as I was… away during the intermission, any idea what the SC tally was for the 1st?
Did I hear that right? Someone hooked the Mitchellfish?
our game thread seems to have gotten derailed from its epicness, or put another way the excitement in the thread went the way of watching the flames play… zzzzz
Sorry dude, we started eating chips and talking about other stuff. Namely, when are we going to Goon. FUBAR directing Stiffler in a hockey movie? Sign me up.
MIKE DOWSE !!!! it’s gonna be more epic than this thread

every time I see a post hit or hear one I always think back to the Grant Fuhr quote: “you hit the post because that’s all I left you”. then again I’ve heard confidence comes in abundance with a rail or two, so you know, theres always that
there is actually a dot before the 08. it reads .08

bad news Justin, I was checking your 20predictions from earlyier this season, it’s not looking good brotha..
I still have the chance to be right on about half of them. ah well, predictions never work out. like ever.

to be fair, it’s sutter that controls those and we all know how odd he is
by Justin Azevedo on Feb 18, 2012 8:49 PM PST up reply actions
I’m going to take a look at the code for your site here and see if I can figure out why it’s putting that white background in.
Hmm. It’s like something in the code got messed up. When I copy it back into dreamweaver I get that white rectangle as well.
it’s only like in that 1920 box, though. my monitor at work is like 2640 and the background was showing up proper in that extra 720p.
by Justin Azevedo on Feb 18, 2012 9:11 PM PST up reply actions
yes. the white was showing in the 1920 area and the 202020 in the extra 720.

some images appear to have been changed to .jpg somehow. Since they all have transparencies they need to be .png

honestly if I did tweet, it would just be friends, I don’t give a flying octopus what Cory Sarich’s day-to-day thoughts are, if anything for that matter
there’s something amazing about knowing derek smith/david moss laughed at something i said, though.

pretty much exactly what I do. only follow/let follow me people that I have interaction with outside of twitter generally

also to me twitter feels like the latest technological version of stocking/harashment (point in case:a certain dallas star / Kim KarIDONTGIVEAFUCKHOWTOSPELLHERNAMEdashian)
i skipped that bit trying to figure out the non hastagged hashtag
by walkinvisible on Feb 18, 2012 9:21 PM PST up reply actions
yeah. and it’s acceptable for some reason because it’s so impersonal.
by Justin Azevedo on Feb 18, 2012 9:19 PM PST up reply actions
thats the problem with technology, people have become so impersonal and free with their personal information, people find it ‘odd’ that I pay for a lot of things with cash still
on a serious note, we talk about “must win games” which till the end of the season is pretty much every fucking game but we are 4-0-3 this month and just barely on the verge of cracking 8th if we win in reg time tonight? just feels like (after seeing Febs #’s to get where we are) how statistically fucked we were pending not having an insane run
every game is “must win”, all season long. pisses me off

I once tried buying tickets to the Kings. I said to the guy, “How much for a pair in the lower bowl”.
Guy looks down at me and says, “Tree-fiddy”
And I was all, like, “You ain’t no scalper. You’re dat goddang Lock Ness Monster.” Then my wife went and gave him tree-fiddy.

if theres going to be a EN goal dont let it be Olli, he doesnt need his stats padded for negociation purposes
you do when there’s a man on top of you and you need to get rid of it
by Justin Azevedo on Feb 18, 2012 9:39 PM PST up reply actions
He didn’t need to get rid of it like that man, he took his time throwing it all the way down to the corner.
you have to get it deep. the draw weight was close. besides, those faceoff plays are so low-percentage it doesn’t even matter.

In Los Angeles, the buzzer only sounds 1.8 seconds after the game is over, so yeah. Class move.

to move into a playoff contention position. apparently the first Jay Feaster call to him, Cammi first comment was “so we are what? 4points out of a playoff spot?”
On a serious note, I don’t know why the Habs never played him in the middle.

Charlie Simmer co-starred in a TV show with Betty White? Fingers crossed it’s a buddy cop show.
