The polls are closed. And after 119 votes, I’ll admit it. I recorded the first one this morning and it went to Triumph. “Magic Power” is easily in the IwoCPO top ten. I’m also a big Guess Who fan and I even dig me some Neil Young when the time is right.
I can also tell you this: I’ve never listened to a second of a Tragically Hip song, I don’t think. But peer pressure’s a bitch so I stuck ‘em in there. It came down to the wire between Rush and Young, with a push from Ronnie Van Zant’s pal the last 90 minutes or so. The selected lyric? Well, that just fits.
Oh, and Subdivisions? Not the song we chose, obviously. But to set the record straight…“Conform or be cast out..” followed later by “be cool or be cast out.”
I’m just sayin’.
It’s a 3-man genius of a Provincial Live Blog bitches.
And if you’re without TV? Yahoo’s got it.

Kopper is on a roll tonight…
I think Homer is wearing Cokeandpepsi’s skin like an Edgar suit. If he asks for sugar water it’ll be a dead giveaway.

There’s your toe! Way to go Happy!

Meech made a brilliant play there with that wide slap pass and Huds gets paid off again for good positioning and heads-up play.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 11/20/08 at 10:37 PM ET
Ummm did Simpson just call him headler?
Posted by ITDeuce from The Land of Ice and Snow on 11/20/08 at 10:37 PM ET
Damn. I knew I shoulda picked up Huds for my fantasy team yesterday.

I think the Oilers get free porn in their penalty box or something. It’s the only excuse at this point to keep taking these penalties.
Posted by Tyler from Lansing on 11/20/08 at 10:38 PM ET
Hudler has been working his ass off. I think he’s really trying to prove himself this year. Good to see.

What a freaking pass my Z.
Posted by ITDeuce from The Land of Ice and Snow on 11/20/08 at 10:38 PM ET
Our boys are entering the zone with purpose again. Even Flip is taking the puck to the middle of the ice and we’re all backing each other up again. We’ve had some lulls in play tonight to be sure, but the trend is very positive.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 11/20/08 at 10:40 PM ET

Couple goal lead seems to help.
Now comes the dreaded 3rd. Which team comes out? Jeckyl or Hyde?
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 11/20/08 at 10:43 PM ET
Man the replay of Draper backing up Oz is amazing.. bouncing puck swatted not just out of the crease but a pass to clear the zone.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 11/20/08 at 10:45 PM ET
Heckel instead of Jeckel.
Sourray ate em both in some humble crow pie.

HA! Hilarious. I haven’t thought of that cartoon in years.
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 11/20/08 at 10:47 PM ET
Personally, I’m rooting for Hyde to show up. I have a feeling that if ol’ parity-one-way-or-another Bettman gets his way, they’ll be forced to play a lot of Je-kill in this period.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 11/20/08 at 10:47 PM ET
I’m rooting for Happy to get the hat-trick tonight. Maybe then Ozzie can cluck to him instead.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 11/20/08 at 10:51 PM ET
Did Chief get into the Yuengling early and pass out?

Hell yeah, free Arby’s

Can we just collectively pretend that video piece just never happened?
Pretty please?
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 11/20/08 at 10:54 PM ET

Something that isn’t worth much to start with being free isn’t really worthy of a hat trick in my less than humble opinion
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 11/20/08 at 10:54 PM ET

No bitch, but good guess.
I’m trying to get some work done and watch the game at the same time.

ARGH… no jinxes. You guys know better than to say things like “shut-out” and “hat-trick” before they happen.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 11/20/08 at 10:56 PM ET
Sorry Gabe, but some horrors just can’t be un-seen. I joke as a coping mechanism.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 11/20/08 at 10:57 PM ET
It’s the tongue thing that needs to really get dumped from my pea brain, really. I’ll never look at Huds the same
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 11/20/08 at 11:00 PM ET
In all honesty I think the labor of printing out the boxscore, de-icing my windshield, meandering through traffic, explaining what “hockey” is to the Arby emloyees, that their restaurant offers free food when a player scores a hattrick, and what a “hat-trick” is isn’t worth the free food.
But yeah they kinda suck too.
Posted by Tyler from Lansing on 11/20/08 at 11:00 PM ET
Anyone else having a hell of a time trying to keep the net stream going? It keeps freezing on me, sometimes every 30 seconds, then sometimes it’s 10 minutes.
All because i’m Canadian, and Little Gary convinced yahoo that I’m an evil viewer who roots for an evil team. Thanks Gary. Ass.

An Oilers fan on another board I’m on is alternately bitching about the officials and chewing his own team out. What kind of life is that?
This team is not as bad as they’re playing, the game would easily be 1-1 if some dumb**** behind the bench wouldn’t have thought Roloson could handle being a full time goaltender. And it shouldn’t even be 4-1, I’m pretty sure a one armed orangutan could score goals off of the bounces Jiri Hudler has been getting

Never heard such a thing?
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 11/20/08 at 11:04 PM ET
I think Happy is gunning to get Happy his trick.
Z slow to get up but looks a-ok
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 11/20/08 at 11:06 PM ET
Shocking. Another Andy Moog story coming right up.
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 11/20/08 at 11:07 PM ET
Damn it, we spent all week with the diggers talking about it, now Ken is going to torture us too. Curse you Andy Moog.
Posted by halomasterd4n on 11/20/08 at 11:08 PM ET
My heart just stopped. Hank, we don’t need this year’s version of February 2008.
Posted by Alex from Innisfail, Alberta on 11/20/08 at 11:08 PM ET
I hear a phone ringing in the near future, once… maybe twice?
Gary.Ass. Burning up the line. Zebra, narrow the lead or eliminate. Do you understand?
Hard to type in a weenie nasal tone of voice….
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 11/20/08 at 11:08 PM ET
So, let me get this right… Chris Osgood looked up to Andy Moog growing up? Did I hear this right?
Posted by HockeyJoe from Upstate New York on 11/20/08 at 11:09 PM ET
whats up h-mos. just got home from work, apparently some genius decided that streaming video and audio would decrease productivity, so its blocked. looks like things are going well

Like Ethan Moreau after throwing a punch in a fight?

Arby’s is awful… whenever I think of Arby’s, I think of the Simpson’s “Das Bus” episode when Lisa and Bart and the other kids are stranded on a desert island. I think it’s Lisa who says “I’m so hungry I could eat at Arby’s”... cracks me up everytime. Though the best line of the show is from Ralphie after he eats the poisonous berries “It tastes like burning”. So that’s what I think of when someone mentions Arby’s. lol…

decidedly not, just induces pouting.

Snot out the nose funny again.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 11/20/08 at 11:11 PM ET
Never have eaten at Arbys, and never will. The last time my dad was there, his meat was still frozen, the bun was moldy, and they screwed up his drink.
I’ll take a Little Ceasar’s pizza though.
Posted by Alex from Innisfail, Alberta on 11/20/08 at 11:13 PM ET

those bastards…
