    Well, Swishy...

    I've knocked off the volume from he game to enjoy some achy-breaky, "Being There". A little of the old Wilco boys on this fine afternoon...

    But, of course, what I mean to say is---"How about them Flyers!?"...I mean, yeah, I don't really bleed orange but what a great cause; the destruction of the entire Penguins machine done so adeptly.

    It doesn't seem that long ago that we were sprechen about Giroux and Coburn and the other kids that have blossomed into such an impactful part of this team. Nice, good...and Cindy has once again proved what a gutless, classless, snivelling little maggot he truly is. I hope you're celebrating appropriately
    So, I broke into the palace
    With a sponge and a rusty spanner
    She said : "Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing"
    I said : "That's nothing - you should hear me play piano"

    How in blazes did they not toss Neal out of the game for the illegal it on Courturier? He wasn't on the puck, and hadn't been, and Neal rose up to put his shoulder into Courturier's head. How could they not even call a penalty?

    Cindy is a little wuss for sure, starting two fights then letting someone else do the dirty work as he skated away. A sweep is in order, but I hope the NHL give Neal the boot, along with Asham. I don't mind hard hits, but not dirty crap.
    I call my bathroom Jim instead of John so I can tell people that I go to the Jim first thing every morning.

    If you say the word 'gullible' very slowly it sounds just like oranges.

    Wilco, beer, and the baseball hall of fame? Sweet!

    I'm not sure how many of you live anywhere close to this locale (I'm a 4+ hour drive away), but Wilco is playing an outdoor gig at the Ommegang Brewery in Cooperstown, NY. The show is on Saturday, July 28th and will be followed by fireworks.

    I've never been there but have heard it's a beautiful little town, and Ommegang makes some excellent beer, especially their Abbey Ale (a 92 on BeerAdvocate.com).

    The show tickets are about $45 plus the junk fees, and they have a campground if you're so inclined. I think I'll be reserving a hotel room but you can get away cheap with camping. We may end up staying 2 nights so we have more time to visit the local shops and the Baseball Hall of Fame.

    Check out the details and let me know if you're game: Wilco at Cooperstown

    I like their "Art of Darkness". Unfortunately, as you know, I'm several hours the other way or I'd commit to such an event. Sounds like a good time to be had by all...

    Having given some attention to the other series in the East I have to say that New Jersey's clutch win has got to put your Flyboys in the driver's seat. Frankly, I thought Florida presented a much worse match for Philly and after watching Brodeur flip and flop I'm pretty sure it should be like exploding monkeys in a barrell...a veritable rocket surgery.

    I like the Fly Boys in 5 too, but I really wanted the Rangers...

    ...to fall. They are the Achilles Heel of the Flyers this year. I realize the playoffs are a different animal, but 0-6 against that team makes me wonder if the Flyers can beat them in a 7 game series with their shoddy goal-tending.

    I suppose I should just hope they get past the Devils first and see what happens.

    They are totally dominating the Flyers, and I can't figure out how they're getting away with the over-aggressive fore-checking. You have to wonder what adjustments the coaches made and why they can't figure out how to counteract.

    Missing two of your best on defense really hurts, but this is the playoffs and everyone needs to step up. Looks like the Devils in 5.

    This is the same dreaded inconsistency that followed the Flyers all year. Bryzgalov hasn't been great but can't pin it all on him. This one's really a head scratcher because NJ isn't that good and aren't skating circles around the Flyers, just getting the wins.

    Flyers/Rangers would be a great conference finals so let's hope they pull off the comeback. Wasn't that long ago this team erased a 0-3 deficit.
