I Went To Church Incognito.  Why?  For The Live Blog.

Oh yes he did.  The Chief whipped out a Vincent Furnier lyric for a live blog.  That, in itself, should indicate just how important I (back to the first person, thanks) feel tonite’s game is.

Why is it important?

Because I have to invent reasons to stay up for the late, late games.

Don’t know Vince?  Oh alright.  Alice Cooper.  And he’s from Hockeytown bitches.

It’s a Live Blog and your objectivity, tact and mild manners are more than welcome.

A couple of insider notes from Mike Chen at Battle of California:

-Joe Thornton’s groin injury seems more obvious with each game. He simply doesn’t use his legs or lower body to protect the puck the way that he normally does, and assuming he didn’t just revert into a craptacular player over the off-season, I’m assuming this is the lingering effects of his injury.

-For all you King fans…um…well, I see what you were complaining about with Rob Blake.

I think that’s an appropriate theme for tonite. Here’s hoping NHL.com doesn’t *#$%@& up and lets me watch my game.

Almost game time. Let’s roll Bitches.

That was me Osrt… and I don’t hunt for virgins either… unless I know they are worth being a long-term relationship they take too long to train (and I am not being derogatory or misogynistic).  Young girls have a lot misconceptions and psychological barriers to fully enjoying sex… so unless I am in for the long run, I’d rather find a woman more in touch with herself and her body.

Hey, this is a hockey blog bitches… let’s keep our heads up and our sticks on the ice!

Anyone know the lines tonight?

During pre-game they showed that Datsyuk’s first goal scored in the NHL was against the canes.  They interviewed him about it and commented on how he scored it and Ketting asked him where the goal is now and in his normal humor Pavel said he sold it for $3.50, lol, nope it is really in his basement. thought is was classic Dats humor.

I am here, no crashing or moving anything for me, no vicodin high either, I’m sorta back to as normal as I get aside from the boo boo ankle.

lets go wings!!! a solid tough effort!!!!!

Anyone catch the prospect camp special Under the Lights? It was cool!

Hey Chief, I’ve done some sailing for work but the cruise ship variety… more prime targets among the staff and the passengers.  Working as the audio guy in the production shows meant many of the sexy female dancers and singers were my best friends in more ways than one.

And for the record, when younger I was far less concerned about the things I look for in women now… I have had a lot of fun already in my life so I now prefer quality over quantity, unless we’re talking about simultaneous quantity.

Chief, I am glad you found some nubile Filipino women to keep you comapany, some are not so lucky.  From what I’ve heard, if you find an “18 year old virgin girl” in the Phillipines while on shore leave, she usually has a pimp or a penis.

‘First’ is SOOOO Pensblog…

It’s CinciNasty football while I wait for the game to come on the air—I woke up at 3:30 AM for this?  Oh, they’ll pay.

And did I ever mention that I’ll miss screaming ‘MUUUUUUULE!’?

From what I’ve seen of Blake (hasn’t been much) he’s been pretty decent.  Fish fans have been spoiled with good blueliners in recent years.

Time to show ‘em their sh*t still stinks…

Later Gabe, Chief and the A2Y 19!  So far it is quite with just a few of us addicted to methamphetamines.  I’ll quit next season, I promise, or whenever we’re back in the Eastern Conference.

What are the lines before I close the page??

I am making a list of all the red Wing winter classic items I want, jersey, Z t-shirt and hat. now who wants to buy tem for me?hehe!

A few nice saves thus. Could really do without the turnovers and i am sure conks thinks so too. 

So what is the benefit of having mac again? to protect our superstars and thus end up getting macs but beat like last night. taking one on the nose for the team!

Clear the puck please!!! A strong third for a change and hopefully fatigue doesn’t caught up with them!

Fer crap’s sake, the game has started.  Any time they want to switch over from these overfed Cincy kids would be fine with me.  After all, the listings DO say that this is supposed to be the HOCKEY GAME…

False advertising.  Don’t make me switch over to the Lithuanian women’s honey wrestling…

Oh well.  Least the Dive are trailing the BJs, of all teams.

Earth to friggin’ NASN…the football game is over.  Time to switch to a hockey game ALREADY IN-PROGRESS.  I don’t need to see them interview the Cincy coash while he gets his ass patted by his players.

Now a commercial for Pardon the Interruption.  I don’t want that blowhard Kornheiser—I just want my game!

I don’t have the bandwidth to keep up with an internet video feed either.  Man.

I’m sure The Chief appreciates me coming on the liveblog to bellyache.

Aaaaand…Finally!  Only took ‘em HALF THE FREAKIN’ PERIOD…

We look pretty sloppy tonight. The Sharks do too though. Why do I get the feeling that this game is gonna be one of those “every goal is a deflection off a skate” games?

And come on Babs, give Z some talent to play with, not mile-wide and blurry vision.
