Abel to Yzerman

Do You Have The Fire Down Below?

Because that’s what will be required tonite.  I see overtime in our immediate future and all that does is suck. 

Your tax dollars have done me no favors this week as comms off the warship have been non-existent.  And I don’t have the right kind of thumbs to post consistently from my phone.  This serves as an exception. 

OT tonite.  Guaranteed. 

Also: a belated thanks to all who showed up for last weekend’s west coaster.  Game 6 may be a redux. 

Live blog it bitches.

there needs to be a new Internet rule.  we already have Rule 34.  what number should we assign to:  for every female sports broadcaster, there is a slutty picture of her SOMEWHERE.

I think Hand.Jobing.com arena needs to run Hockey 101 psa’s during stopages in play.

They can start with “the two syllable razzing goalie name chant” shall only be performed after the opposing goalie gives up a soft goal. Performing said chant while the goalie is pitching a shut out makes you stupider than the fan that doesn’t understand icing.

The wings could use some puck possession time in the offensive zone.  Outside of the powerplay, their offense is coming entirely off the rush

not sure if this has been mentioned yet, because i havn’t had time to read the whole LB yet, but what the hell is that “clinking” noise that happens ever 15-20 secs or so? it is pissing me off…I emailed VS about it a week or two ago, but of course no answer.

You guys have me wrong, the archers best weapon is stealth. If you hear the bow string stop after its forward trajectory it’s too late.  grin

Helm has fanned on at least 2 shots and wiped out twice. Lots of effort, but he’s all over the place, and not in a good way

Think it’s been answered already—it’s Howard tapping his own posts while play is down in the other end to remind him of his positioning.
