Wilco question for bobsticks.

[Swish]

Do you think that Thomas Vanek and Ryan Miller will be listening to "Impossible Germany' after packing in the first round?




(See how I did that?) Oh yeah, baybay...it's that time again.

[bobsticks]

Congrats for your team, Swisheroo. From what I've read it's been a good series and I like Claude Giroux and Scotty Hartnell. Mayhap this is the year that Flyin' Brian Boucher can shake the demons of abject failure and take them all the way.

I wish I could offer more specific commentary but time is a finite resource and I've been watching several other series...the ones with teams that might actually win the Stanley Cup.

[Swish]

You just had to get a dig in there, didn't you. Well, we shall see about that Stanley Cup. The Fly Boys have a very good chance, especially with Pronger coming back. I think this could be their year.

...and while some might confuse this face for a CPA, or umbrella salesman at a kiosk in the mall, or even a Hush Puppy shoe salesman, we know that's clearly the gaze of a champion.

Truthfully, I'm not sure that any team from the East matches up very well with Vancouver or Detroit or even the Sharks...

Luongo looked horrible last night... and by 'horrible' I mean 'hurt'. And the rest of the 'nucks flat gave up halfway through the 2nd. They'll still win the series, I'm sure... but I was shocked by how badly they played that one game.

Yeah. I've kinda given up on watching the Hawks if only because I noticed later in the season that everytime I watched a game they lost. Some kind of freaky biorhythm thing, no doubt...and, yes, I am exactly that superstitious.

As bad as the C-nucks may have looked, I'm sure they beat the Flyers.


I don't know if anyone watched the Left Coast feed of the L.A. meltdown last night but it was spectacular. I'd be surprised if that kind of thing wasn't a momentum changer in a series.

OMG! I never realized that Boucher was such a hottie!!! Hubba Hubba.

[bobsticks]

Lol, well I guess we see where your allegiances lie, eh Fall Girl? Then again, there's not a lot of media coverage of Leafs at the golf course so a girl prolly has to take the hotties where she can get 'em...

[ForeverAutumn]

Bah, I'm done with hockey for the season. The Toronto Rock lacrosse team are in the NLL* playoffs. I'd rather watch lacrosse over hockey any day.

GO ROCK GO!!!

*National Lacrosse League.

[bobsticks]

I'm sorry Autumn, I can't hear you...did you say something?

I'm really enjoying listening to 2008's Preset's release, "Apocalypso" while waiting for the Flyers to lose so I can watch the Red Wings...

[ForeverAutumn]

I'm sorry Autumn, I can't hear you...did you say something?

Yeah, I said,

GO FLYERS GO!!!


Oh, I also called you a Jackass...just in case you missed it.

[bobsticks]

...and you're not even the first today to have hurled invectives...stand in line fine lady, stand in line....there will be snacks, there will.

[ForeverAutumn]

...there will be snacks, there will.

Will there be pony rides and dancing bears?

[3LB]

Are you guys talkin ice-soccer or somethin?

...the Flyers beat Buffalo in game 7 last night! GO FLYERS GO!!!

[bobsticks]

Flyers in six. Book it.

The underachieving has already started.

[Swish]

The underachieving has already started.

But I'll take it in 7 anytime. They appear to thrive off the drama. Too bad the Hawks let the Canooks squeak by them in game 7. Now I need T.B. over the Pens and Boston over the Habs. Sounds like a plan.

[bobsticks]

. Now I need T.B. over the Pens and Boston over the Habs. Sounds like a plan.

We're together on this though I suspect that we'll be hearing some muscle-flexing, knee jerk stuff from the HQ regarding Lucic.

[Mr MidFi]

The Hawks losing game 7 in overtime was bad enough. But making me stay up till the small hours on a schoolnight... that's unforgivable.

(At least the Bulls closed out their series handily.)

[MindGoneHaywire]

I have a long list of things I'd prefer to see than have the Flyers win the Cup.

I'd rather sit through a Rush record.

I'd deal with 16 hours of reality television every day for a month.

I'd prefer to see Michigan beat my Buckeyes.

I'd say something about the Red Sox but they've already won twice in the past few seasons. Enough with them already.

The Flyers are a festering sore on the butt of Lord Stanley. May they soon be vanquished, and go the way of the Montreal Maroons, the Cleveland Barons, the New York Americans, the Vancouver Millionaires, the Toronto St. Patricks. Begone.

Where have you been hiding my friend? Good to see you posting, even if it was to bust on my beloved Flyers. You did give me a couple good laughs for the day, especially the reality TV line. Good stuff!

Let's get Flyered up!

[bobsticks]

I'm thinking of someone that prolly won't be on here to talk smack for awhile...


I'll give you 7 guesses but you'll most likely only need 3.

...and they ain't Merry Christmas!

Just remember last year; Flyers down 3 games to none, and 3 - 0 in the 3rd period of game 4. They come back to win game 4, then 5,6, and 7 and end up playing in the finals. Yes, they looked bad yesterday, but it was only one game.

[bobsticks]

I got two words for you... D-A-V-I-D K-R-E-J-C-I

Advantages in SOG, Hits, PP, Faceoffs won...The Flyboys are uncanny in their ability to completely outperform teams and still come up short...almost an art form really.
