Off-ice entertainment? Maybe.

Of four. Maybe five.

We're on pace to match the '06-'07 Flyers at 56 points. I take solace in knowing that our season was intentional and theirs wasn't.

Today we invoke Ronan Tynan to inspire the Irish tank. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEyEI_fy2QA ONWARD!

Those look nice. The gaelic font and the clover leaf stitched over the number are nice touches. Hopefully they don't look atrocious with the pants, socks, gloves, and helmets.

It's a good thing our season is on pace to score 28.2 in those 15 games.

I wasn't thinking that, but when I read that, that video popped in my head, and I lol'd. Probably because of this bar story: I was at a bar with some friends. And some ginormo dude (6'4, 250+) was visibly livid about something, maybe the insinuation from the undersized bouncer that he was drunk and it was time to go, I don't know. Something set this guy off. So he starts yelling and stomping around the bar, like a bull, chest puffed, just stomping around and yelling about not drunk he was like an enormous three year old that wants to kill the nearest living thing. Everyone in the bar's watching this guy, on edge, because he's the biggest guy there and no one seems to know what his malfunction is. His friend diffuses him a little and he stops stomping around, as the bouncer steps aside to ring the cops, just in case. Just then some random guy runs to the middle of the bar, and spreads his arms palms up and screams at the top of his lungs, "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?!?!, then ducks back into the crowd. Everybody in the bar busts their gut laughing. And the big guy goes ###### ballistic. He starts running around the bar, screaming, "WHO THE ###### SAID THAT!? I'M GONNA ######IN KILL YOU! WHO THE ###### SAID THAT!?! WAS IT YOU?!" So then the guy who yelled it points to my buddy, the second biggest guy in the bar. The big guy runs up to him, real angry like, and I'm like ohshit herewego. And my buddy's like "naw, man, wasn't me." The big guy sizes him up, then continues on his way to run around just ears-smoking angry for a bit until his friends notifiy him of the police presence outside, and he leaves. I still ###### with my friends by reminding them of that ###### by yelling it, which was very funny to us. So thank you for that reminder. It sucks to have to watch bad hockey. The only solace is that the worse we are, the better chance we have at being better later on. I know it doesn't make it easier when the bill comes. Don't be the guy that stomps around the bar, be the jackass that makes everyone laugh despite the ###### situation. Or just enjoy your beer. Take it easy, Eleven. Enjoy the 'Flix.

I read it. Be mad at them because they're bad. As I bantered with Sick, that's perfectly warranted. Don't be mad at them because they said they'd be bad and you bought tickets with the expectation of them being good.

That's what you get for buying Islanders season tickets.

VICTORY! ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: "Son of a bitch is dug in like an Alabama tick." (Achievement bypassed: "Strategic Retreat")

I agree, I believe that there are owners and presidents in the league that believe Regier's a good GM. And as I personally place more of the blame of the current predicament on the poor execution of the players and less on the specific performances of Ruff and Regier, it wouldn't be difficult for me to agree with them.

Yeah, I'm pretty excited to see the kids grow up. Risto, McCabe, Zadorov, Compher, Fasching, among others. There's a lot to look forward to, even before we execute the ridiculous number of first and second round draft picks coming up in the next two drafts.

For the record, I heard Rob Ray say "yeah, you're right" on the air.

I know, I'm ######in with you. Everybody's earned the right to bitch about how bad the team is. Stick with it though, you'll be glad you did. We'll be good again, and you'll have a sincere appreciation for how bad they aren't.

Sabres are nine points out of second (last) but with two games in hand over Edmonton. Islanders are 4th last with Calgary and Florida on either side by two points. No matter the outcome, we don't see DEFEAT here. If the Sabres win, the possible Islanders pick gets better. If the Sabres lose, our first round pick gets even more cemented. Therefore: TANK HAS AUTOMATIC VICTORY!! If anything, I'd like to see the Islanders lose, just to smash their confidence, drive the fans nuts, drive up the value of that pick, and drive away any free agents that may make them better next year. But I'm not married to that.

I count nine. Buffalo, Minnesota, Philadelphia, Toronto, Calgary, Colorado, Edmonton, Vancouver, Rochester.

Shapley indices. Bleh.

Honor in battle. That's all this is. No way to know if it was staged or not, or was warranted or not. Two guys wailing on each other, then recognizing they gave eachother what they had.

VICTORY!

Brian Burke doesn't have the cojones to tank, tries to mask it as character: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=446131

Tankin'!

I'll take the over.

It's my mission to see that, unless they win the lottery, they'll be taking our leftovers.
