-Matt Cooke is a turd burglar. He burgles ALL the turds.-
-At least he's not Cam Janssen. What a bag of dicks that guy is.-
I like
the new signature – you’ve made that title your own. A banner day.
"Great story. Compelling, and rich." ~ Ron Burgundy
"...and Gary Cooper slides into second base with a stand up double." ~ Ralph Kiner
are the quotation marks ironic, though?
But when it was suggested to him that Toews v. Kane seems likely to become a sidebar to every future international hockey tournament, he smiled and said: "I'd like us to win something together, too."

Yeah,
I’m getting really tired of the match up crap. Against Vancouver and San Jose there were 2 lines clearly better than all the others. Here, it seems like their top 3 lines are relatively equal, so how about letting them react to us for a change?
I just have a lot of feelings!

I have always been jittery until the moment I (or once coaching, my captain) was handed the big trophy
I am very good at being jittery – it always kept me focused on making sure every possible detail went my way.
Unfortunately, there is now no detail under my control – that leads to pacing, and drinking, and sudden verbal outbursts that make the dog go hide behind the sofa for long stretches of the evening.
Confusion will be my epitaph.

He’s been given the quest and has ups and downs along the way. The only way for him to find it is to enlist the help of the Knights. Sir Lancelot of course is the one to find it so Arthur can finally complete his quest.

Sharp scored in double OT to lead Philly Phantoms to a 2-1 win over Chicago Wolves in Calder Cup Finals. Phantoms got a 2-game series lead for it.
But when it was suggested to him that Toews v. Kane seems likely to become a sidebar to every future international hockey tournament, he smiled and said: "I'd like us to win something together, too."

Sharp could pull a repeat - and even his karma bank by scoring an OT winner tonight?
I’ll take it
Double OT might be rough on my health though – of course I could take a cab home and retireve the car at my liesure tomorrow
Confusion will be my epitaph.
I don't think I want another OT of any sort
just a straight-out win for the Hawks, please and thank you.

any win is a win - tell me I get that and I'll take it no matter how long it takes
hell, a long multi-OT sort of thing might help us in the long run of the series, no?
If that’s what it takes to position us to hoist the big trophy, take it with a smile!
Confusion will be my epitaph.
agony/extasy of OT
all that time waiting for the red light builds up an enormous amount of anxiety. If it goes to extras, please, please, please no reviewed goals again! That was brutal

And Hossa and Toews repeating their performance — with the same team this time around.

I can't say i agree that they Flyers have played their best this series
as long as Richards has been quite. BUT we clearly haven’t been near our best. And maybe i just say that to keep up the worried nervousness that worked so well for me in Games 1 & 2.

"Grumpy Fuck"
No respect
Maybe you should change your signature to “Grumpy Old Fuck”.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene."
Playing their best? Flyers have 10 goals and their top line was involved in one
That doesn’t mean Richards et al. will start playing their best, though. Maybe Chicago has done a good job shutting them down.
Leighton has also been somewhat regular-season this series. Which also may be where he really lives.
It’s easy to manipulate the what ifs so that either team is up 3-0.
My favorite is that if you swap the goalies the Flyers are playing for the Cup tonight, IMSEO. Of course it’s absurd to isolate one thing. And even more absurd because you can’t swap the goalies. But still it’s nice to think that your team is outplaying the other.
You can argue that it has to switch the other way. Based on what, other than a fan’s faith/denial? Regression to the mean doesn’t have to happen in a set with only five to seven instances. And maybe Philly matches up against Chicago better than we all thought.
Chicago’s the better team because they’re leading 2-1. Everything else is an attempt to soothe our anxious selves with statistics, meaning and narrative while we endure the interminable wait for puck drop.
Speaking of which, it appears that I will be in attendance this evening. I’ve been charmed enough by most of you that I will endeavor to shelter and protect any nearby Hawks-adorned fans foolish enough to display their allegiance. Unless it’s a Kane jersey, in which case I pile on.

HELL NO
It’s bad enough to be subjected to Ed Snider’s Soviet-era propaganda tool of having Kate Smith sing while she is lying in state. One of the reasons they must win this year is to hopefully take “That 70s Show” out of syndication.
The Flyers’ lawless, renegade image is one their greatest appeals, so to have 20K groupthinkers wearing the same shirt is confusing and creeps me out.
The guys at the rink also tell me that orange is not a good clothing color palette choice for my skin tone.

Jumping off the walls? Us?
Just because we recasted LotR with Hawks it doesn’t mean we’re jumpy (it means we’re nerds). My constantly twitching eye and shaking foot might be better signs of that.
Also, matchy-uppy is my new favorite word. or hyphen.
We are nerds of the highest caliber though.
Those discussions of “The Trilogy” and its prequels on recent Saturday nights were truly epic, kinda like Dat Horsa Guy – only nowhere near as cool, simply based on the fact that the discusions were nerd orgies, and He’s Marian Hossa and we aren’t.

is if sharp skates would carve out channels in the softer ice and duller (more rounded edge) would compress the ice instead?
There is no try. There's do and there's fu(%ing up royal
i agree
Usually the harder the ice you NEED sharper skates…but if the ice is “softer” then the need for extra sharp skates isn’t as necessary…but you dont’ get an advantage from having duller skates

FNG Here
Been skulking around SCH for a month now. Hawks fan going on 2 years (from South Florida, which as far as I’m concerned doesn’t have an NHL team).
Thanks to everyone on SCH for helping to make me a semi-knowledgable Hawks fan (defined as seeing 50% of what gmh writes about in any recap or comment). Have fun at BL…will be a few blocks East.
GO HAWKS!

I've been to a Panthers game with my uncle
I actually quite enjoyed it. My cousin plays in a youth league down in SFL too I actually thought hockey had a chance there. Maybe it still does?

Maybe Tallon can turn it around
I left for college soon after they came into existence, so I never formed a bond to the team. SFL will support a winner, but that’s about it…at least IMO.

Killer instinct, R.I.P. 'em
Gotta think like that cuz forever I be needin ’em;
Plan flawless, mistakes never repeatin ’em
Well it’s time to lay the hammer of the gods down and take that insurmountable 3-1 series lead. You {the Flyers} might have pulled a fast one on Boston and comeback to win that series, but you will fail here. Flyers fans may live ’til their 100 and never see that again.
The key to success is simple: Our best player {Jonathan Toews} must be our best player. He must be dominant, not just noticeable, and angry to the core willing to rip their hearts out just for a taste – Kano style.
Oh, what it would be like to score first and have a 2-0 lead after 1 period of play? Imagine is all I can do for that hasn’t happened yet this postseason. In fact the ‘Hawks have trailed at some point in all but 8 of the 19 playoff games to date, and only 6 of them has seen them lead from start to finish with 3 of those 6 coming with the ’Hawks opening the scoring in the 2nd period. Yah, I know I’m asking for too much but I’m a greedy son-of-a-bitch.

NICE WRITE UP!
Love that track. That shit is BANGIN’!
I agree, Toews has to be our best player tonight but I also think he along with one of our other top-6ers will be on fucking fire tonight! We saw a preview of sorts from Kaner last night and if we can keep forcing breakaways on the flyers (which we have been this entire series) i see either Sharp, Hossa, or Brouwer making life hell for Philly fans! Plus, you know Niemi wants an airtight game tonight after letting 5 in Friday, and so far, from what i’ve seen from him, whatever Niemi wants Niemi gets. Lets make it so boys!
LETS GO HAWKS!!!!!!!
I just feel like this is the big F U Game
Hawks 5
Flyers 2

that would make me quite happy

Puck Daddy some funny quotes from Burish on Niemi
Burish even tries annoy his own teammates, which we all probably know already. The article talks about how cool and calm Niemi is. Here’s the link
And to those that can’t stomach going on PD, here’s Burish’s quotes:
“In practice, I’ll score one on him, and I’ll taunt him a little bit. I figure next time down he’s going to say something about it, and he doesn’t say anything back. He just kind of looks at me, shakes his head, and goes back and stops another one. I try to mess with him, and you can’t,”
“It’s really dull. I hate it. I can’t stand it. I want him to yell back. It ticks me off. I wanna have some confrontation, and he doesn’t give me any. He just stands there with a crooked smile and gets ready for the next shot.”
Burish scored a goal?

Lemme tell you how it's goin down, it's on now
My gut feeling tells me that DLR may be warming up in the bullpen as Leighton gives me those Luongo ‘meltdown @ any moment’ vibes. Know who else does? The whole fuckin’ Flyers squad. Every playoff series that the Flyers have been involved in since the lockout has seen at least one game of a Flyers meltdown and that means resorting to “fight if all else fails” technique that has failed them since 1975. Buffalo, Washington, Montreal and Pittsburgh twice can attest to this. Fuck, they even lost their composure in Game 2 against the Devils, who make dead people look like party animals. So it should suprise nobody if it were to happen tonight.
Just my long thoughts but they’ve done well so far this postseason. May they not fail me this late into the postseason.

To prove to myself that our fans aren’t being homeristic about this, I went around looking at comment sections of articles about it — and sure enough, fans of practically every other team agree that he’s getting away with stuff.

I like the quote...
but the government might want to look into the amazing cloaking properties of Flyers defender Chris Pronger. Apparently everything from his shoulders down is invisible to the prying eyes of officials.
I didn't expect Bettman to say anything against the refs
I did the same thing you did and yest most had comments even during the game like “how is that not a penalty”. This is just cementing my hatred of Pronger even more. I could give a shit less about the puck stealing. I don’t really think that was really bothering any of the Hawks. The media blew that one out of proportion. I’m just sick of reading about how wonderful Pronger is for the media.

I mean sure, I’m annoyed at what’s happening on the ice but I don’t want to complain about it. I feel like our guys have to be able to deal with it and win regardless. Plus, we all know our Rat gets away with some stuff too.

I’m over in Scotland, and I see the goal a few seconds before people start posting on here. Not entirely sure what forces at at work, but I’m not complaining.
Btw, just finished d/ling Game 3. You think the hit happened in the 3rd period (their goal on the right hand side of the screen)?
It's just

As much as I DO love DDN, I think breaking them up for some shifts might be a good idea.
Make Laviolette adjust to OUR lines. We’ve got equal or better depth, and making them decide WHO to put Puckhogger on is to our benefit.
Do you want him trying to tie up the McNuggets, or attempting to slow down Crazy 88, or interfering with the Captain – I bet the CPT would draw some calls.
