From one armpit of the east cost to the other. Jersey is one of the few places that is actually a downgrade from Central Florida. Let's get back to form like the last trip here and drop a 6 spot on them.

I feel a goal for Balls in this game.

[mikeford]

Newark is lovely this time of year.

[The Four Peters]

I'm actually in NYC this week so I might try to head out to the game. Any idea if it's cheaper to scalp there or buy tickets online? It's not even close to sold out.

[mikeford]

You probably wouldn't even have to resort to scalping but The Rock is retardedly expensive considering the Devils have no fans but yeah, you don't need to buy a ticket online, its a Thursday night game in January... even if it is against the defending champs.

[Smiling Joe Hesketh]

I want Tuukka to start.

[Haunted]

Fire Clode Thomas Corvo.

[kenneycb]

I hope you mean that in the literal sense too. Nothing like a little ole burning at the stakes.

Fire Clode Thomas Corvo.

Out of a cannon.
Into the sun.

Supposed to be taking a pointless but required Spanish exam right now. Lady put me in a room to await instruction. Lady disappeared. Pre-test adrenaline is gone, and I'm worried about possible alien abduction.

[TheStoryofYourRedRightAnkle]

Enjoy your anal probe.

[Jed Zeppelin]

Bitch stepped out of her office. What the fuck, I set an appointment for this time. I'm going to rampage if I don't pass. This is bullshit. I'm citing a hostile test environment and finagling myself a goddamn degree.

[TheStoryofYourRedRightAnkle]

Shit on the floor. Leave.

[kenneycb]

I believe you should have gone with "Caga por el piso. Vayate" or something like that. My Spanish is admittedly rusty.

[TheStoryofYourRedRightAnkle]

Mine is non-existent. I suppose Google Translate could have helped.

[Jed Zeppelin]

Shit. Needed a B to fulfill the requirement. Two parts - first part was translating with a dictionary, second part without. Whoever wrote the test completely overcompensated for the use of the dictionary in the first part and undercompensated in the second part. Didn't finish the first part and what I did finish was largely incomprehensible - clauses all over the place. Second part was laughably easy and finished with 15 minutes to spare. Of course, they left me alone in the room after taking my dictionary away so I just used the translator on my phone to look up the words I wasn't sure about. I'm hoping that, much like a Bruins 3rd period outburst, the second part was enough to make up for how badly I Corvo'd the first.

What I'm really pissed about is that I don't have a friend who is completely fluent. They didn't even look at my ID to make sure it was me. Should have called in a ringer.

[Terras]

I've spent 20 minutes reading the MBPC pipedream rebuild thread and my God there is no imagination in that thread. I'm assuming that's because the NBA has really miserable salary rules that make trading difficult, but shit. Around here while something like Caron+Hamill+3rd for Yandle+Doan might get lit up, at least it's a fun fuckin' idea and certainly far-fetched enough.

That said, Corvo, Hamill, Kelly for Iginla, Bouwmeester, and a 1st. No, I didn't look up the salaries, yes, that will never happen, but goddammit it makes me happy in the pants.

[Haunted]

Ugh, updating osx. I mean, in no longer running tiger which is good, but what tedium this is.

[PedroSpecialK]

I was just on Marchmont Road in Edinburgh. He pots two tonight.

[jsinger121]

NHLBruins Boston Bruins




Bergeron led the stretch. Thomas is the first goalie off...^BISH

Thomas should be getting some rest not starting tonight.

[Myt1]

I think you'll see the Buins go Thomas, Rask, Thomas, Rask before the All-Star game. You get Rask in the tough NYR matchup and Thomas against Philly.

[Smiling Joe Hesketh]

I can't see Claude starting his ostensible backup against the Rangers on Saturday though. I'll bet he gives Thomas both starts. Which is poopy considering how awful Thomas looked in Florida.

I don't know... The recent usage pattern seems to show that they look at Tuukka as a 'backup' in title alone, more like a #1 and 1A. Does anyone feel like we're losing anything by having Tuukka in there as opposed to Thomas? With this crazy stretch of games (and then Timmy having to travel to the ASG whether he gets used or not) they HAVE to build in some time off for him. I will be really disappointed if they go to him on back-to-back days.

I'll be stunned if Thomas starts the Rangers game. Claude went to Tuukka at home against Detroit for the high profile, national TV game on Black Friday. So I think he's got no problems going to Tuukka in big games.

Thomas has had success in New Jersey over his career, as well as in Philly (I honestly can't remember the last time Thomas lost in Philly). Tuukka, albeit a SSS, has done well against the Rangers. There is a method to Claude's madness here.

[mikeford]

I don't think you guys need to worry about who starts in goal for you in this game.

Brodeur is in net for NJ.

Enjoy another 6 goals.

[JimBoSox9]

From one armpit of the east cost to the other. Jersey is one of the few places that is actually a downgrade from Central Florida. Let's get back to form like the last trip here and drop a 6 spot on them.

I quibble. Much of central Florida is, as you say, an armpit - but the one exception is Tampa itself, which has a nice downtown and water and shit.

I feel a goal for Balls in this game.

Well, that would be only appropriate tonight.....

[Salem's Lot]

Plenty of seats available for this one I see.

[Manzivino]

Another strong start for the Krejci line.

[Nomar813]

Pouliot has to score on Archer premier night, right?

[Salem's Lot]

Kelly had an open net. Fuck.

[NickEsasky]

Woo i can post on my Fire again. Also Horton looks disinterested tonight.

[SoxFanInCali]

I hate when all the feeds are the opposing announcers.

[MiracleOfO2704]

Is it weird that I feel bad for Ference for being saddled with Corvo? 2007 me would've never said that.

[FelixMantilla]

Please Campbell. Never drop the gloves again.

[Blacken]

Campbell: ready, willing, utterly unable.

[Salem's Lot]

Its bad when you lose a fight to a bench coach.

[Jed Zeppelin]

Devils color guy is out of his mind.

[Jed Zeppelin]

First line is on the ice for every goddamn goal against.

[MiracleOfO2704]

Another shitty period...

[NYCSox]

Pathetic effort by Seidenberg.

[SoxFanInCali]

Ugly

[Manzivino]

Horton with the bold decision to play neither the puck nor the man behind him.

[FelixMantilla]

Weak goal.

[Salem's Lot]

Fuck

[Jed Zeppelin]

Winning the faceoff but giving up a goal two seconds later anyway is so shitty.

[NickEsasky]

Horton with the bold decision to play neither the puck nor the man behind him.

from his effort tonight it seems he got his two goals the other night and can coast for a while now

[Salem's Lot]

He's had a couple scoring chances tonight too. I know he fucked up on that play (along with three other guys) but he hasn't been horrible tonight either.

[Blacken]

The Krejci line (hereafter known as the second line) is maddeningly 'tarded this week. Month.

[FelixMantilla]

Corvo must go.

[NickEsasky]

He's had a couple scoring chances tonight too. I know he fucked up on that play (along with three other guys) but he hasn't been horrible tonight either.

lazy on the penalty and he's floated a bit too. Wasn't just one thing.

[Jed Zeppelin]

B's are getting badly outworked. Should never happeen.
