Ok. My misunderstanding. Don't even remember the Oooo La La Pierre calls. Going to have to see if google remembers. I still like Wowie Housley. Not sold on Yeichel. But if he says it 100 more times over the next couple years I'm sure I'll grow found of it.

Sorry, I loved them. Especially the LaFontaine call.

You give the NHL Brass more credit than I am willing to. I wouldn't doubt their logic is *get the long road trips out of the way before the weather turns bad*.

So no kickin her out of bed for have a sloppy burrito?

You old guys are tighter than a band of thieves! Thank you. Sincerely.

MUST WIN!!!

I never thought it was that hard to get games. Just figured the newbie would get the drunk beer league jack holes or worse, the squirt/peewee hockey with the stands filled with the next parents of an NHL superstar. I have no problems with being the substitute ref/linesman. Sounds like the dues/initiation to the good old boys club. As God as my witness, I fell of my 6' step ladder putting up Christmas lights on Thursday as it was so nice onto very soft grass. I did not feel 39, let alone 19 when I was getting up and dusting myself off. There was no bouncing up and ready to go stuff. I did eventually get back up and get back to work. Friday morning was rough, I hurt. My wisdom at this age tells me not to play with the young bucks after being away for so long. The competitive side says now or never. I'm trying to split the difference. Not the worldly wisdom I expected from you, but the other half of the brain thinks we need to go out and have a few beers and see what trouble comes our way! Just so you know, I think I have a good inkling of your speed/distance in a foot race. If we where ever to find our selves trying to out run the young bucks, I'll be as good as I once was. I think I'm getting a bear joke and a country song mixed together here (?).

Any body catch the Crosby mugging of an Edmonton player in over time? Should have been a penalty shot, and was seconded by Pens announcers, not just fan biased. I'm sure Crosby's talk afterward was not constructive to the ref's. The bias is not dead because the fans won't let it die is not completely accurate.

I like the Puck Bunny response. Ssshhhh, Mrs.Racer is sleeping.

I'm Ok with that. Of course I'm crazy, so there's always that excuse. :ph34r:

You should never delete a learning experience. Who knew? It is what it is. You're good.

That was nice because Kane had a better shot than pass. He was *all* team player on that play. The whole team knew it as soon as they went to the bench.

Some guitar player I think.

Your referring to a little glass of booze, also known as a shot here in the states, aren't you? Let us know when your coming over, the shorties will be lined up and waiting! Well, we all learned some words one would think should be censored are not. How ironic the one censored is quite possibly the least *bad*.

Their happy to be there. It's a party/college game atmosphere. Could be that Nashville has a more youthful population?

It's a long story, but .... Would any of you at the age of 49+ consider getting back into hockey as an on ice official? It would be for the enjoyment of being back in the game after a 30 year interruption.

You may be referring the anti Crosby towards fans, but it appears to be on the ice also. He doesn't seem to be a person that gets a lot of *good person/ good teammate* talk when his name is brought up.

All I got was *unconfirmed* starts of Ullmark and Rinne http://www2.dailyfaceoff.com/starting-goalies/

As soon as he started playing, I went, now I remember! Thanks D4rk

Well you better start consuming because the Sam/Jack Conn Smythe Trophy fest doesn't happen without large amounts of alcohol being consumed by you, and we are all counting on you!

Sometimes you have to wonder if there are other factors that weigh heavily on something like this. The job, home life, lack of sleep, who knows what else is wearing on him. Then BOOM, he goes and has a nuclear meltdown over a game played for fun. Maybe time he sits and enjoys just watching his son have fun playing hockey. For his health and well being.

Terminator was on TV last night, wasn't it?

Yaaahhh! Wild is back with real and good GDT openers! Thank you Wild for making sure that dumb azz that started the last GDT didn't get a chance to again! Please, please ,please Sabres, come out at the start of the game playing well and continue for sixty minutes. I'm not sure as I've seen that from you yet this year. I would appreciate a hard fought and well played sixty minutes of hockey. Winning would also be nice.

That was nice. I think he had 2 Pens and the goalie down on one side of the crease. Pass, one timer, open net. Does Dubinsky have a personal thing with Crosby dating back years? I've not seen Dubinsky intentionally try to injure (or at very minimum cheap shot) anyone else like that, even anyone else on the Pens. There's something going on.

Can't say as I feel that was a nice win. They didn't appear to be the better team, just better puck luck in the first two periods. The did own the third period IMO and the Legwand goal was very nice.
