Michael, My dog has more competency then Pierre, and is more entertaining when he sleeps. Damn, it's more entertaining watching Bertuzzi trying to read then it is watching Pierre Mcguire do ANYTHING EVER!

Rob, Cablevision is the devil. Also, and it may be geographical, they are the worldwide leader in Spanglish Advertising. They're the kind of commercials that cutoff a real commercial...so you'll see the first half a second of a Burger King commercial before jumping away to ads for technical school, a soccer game, or a place that will transfer money to South America. It's entirely possible to go 90 seconds without hearing English while watching Cartoon Network. And I don't mean Dora.

Mauvais, excellent job! If you've got that kind of juju at your fingertips, keep them coming. I'll be reading the next pre-game and fully expect another HBOTW pick.

I have to agree that, as a hockey fan, that was an incredible game to watch. I want to be angrier about not winning but I'm just not. Saturday? I was angry. I was so mad that I wasn't sure how excited I would be to watch on Sunday because of my sense of impending doom but come Sunday afternoon, there I was, jumping around my living room and screaming at the television.

Mentally, I had prepared myself for a win against Dallas and a loss against Chicago. Pointwise, it still turned out that way, 2 out of 4, so I just can't be that upset.

Also, I want to publicly take credit for Eaves' awesome game yesterday because he was selected at Hockey Boy of the Week on my site and he turned around and did that. I was swooning hardcore from my living room!

Is there a more Orwellian sounding utility provider than Cablevision? They might as well just name it Big Brother's Regulated Transmissions Broadcasting Corporation Corporation and get it over with.

I can't even comment on the game. Instead I'm resorting to cheap shots at companies I don't have to deal with personally. Seems about right.

Andy, I would love more out of Flip but I love him so I have a hard time calling him out. HA

Matt, I can only assume he didn't REALLY want to break his sticks. Them thangs are expensive!

Kalyn, Pierre Maguire makes me question why I don't do hockey games. I could AT LEAST be as competent and entertaining as that smug little shit.

Why do we allow Pierre to live... Why? My only question. Blah blah blah Canadian hockey blah stupid questions and commentary blah!

On a side note, I always love watching the few Russian players in the league meet up and play each other, so I hope we get to see a little action between Ovie and Pavel.

if the newcomer NBC viewer can't fall in love with hockey after Sunday afternoon, there's no hope for them at all.

I hope you're right, but NBC's production quality might have been a big turnoff...

I noticed Howard slam his stick twice in two games and not break it either time. Where's the RAGE, Jimmy? Shatter that thing...

Both finish and Finnish was an issue IMO. Flip did not have a great weak and his line really got dominated in both games this weekend. They need to wake up.
