Yes, I'm a "top" and you're a "bottom".

Assumed people knew I was talking about HTC.

Geno with the natural hatty after a chirp session with Dominic Moore and a sucker punch by Vinnie Lecavaljoke. Now this is more like it.

Holy shit, right off the rails lately with my picks. I need to pick up my game. I don't think I've gotten more than 1/day this whole week.

by **ShoreSlayer** » Thu Jan 19, 2012 7:37 am

Congrats Chris!!

grumble florida grumble

by **ShoreSlayer** » Sun Jan 22, 2012 5:36 am

Only one question for tomorrow? Very strange! :shock:

by **NuuX** » Mon Jan 30, 2012 2:01 am

Hell yeah, got a HT last night. Almost got it on Saturday as well. Have to say that All Star weekend picks for me were just random clicks

Also, Rob cheated while we were on the boat, he had someone else to pick for him

PS: Rob, hope you took my comments on the boat with a grain of salt

by **ShoreSlayer** » Mon Jan 30, 2012 9:54 am

Absolutely man! All in good fun

I got a HT yesterday too but it's not showing on the league standings for some reason. Hope they're not screwing me on that. Oh and I see nothing in the rules about not allowing friends to make picks for you. I wish it said something about them not changing your nickname for you though

lol

by **NuuX** » Mon Jan 30, 2012 10:33 am

Ye, I saw you got HT yesterday but at that time it only showed 1/3 for me. Later they changed correctly and gave me HT, maybe your picks weren't the same as mine. I picked:

Senators players scores a goal - YES
Both teams combine for at least 20 goals - YES
Winner - TEAM CHARA

by **ShoreSlayer** » Mon Jan 30, 2012 10:52 am

Yeah. No HT for me after all. 1/3 :lol:

No, no, no. We established a while back that Swifty is THE bottom.

What is it about the 'Canes? 4-0 against the Bruins this season. Figured Boston would at least take one. Hat trick denied again :bitch:

by **CaptOblivious** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 1:03 am

if not for the Bruins sucking balls vs the Hurricanes woulda had another HT :cry:

Ryan tell your team to stop sucking vs bottom dwelling shit teams

by **NuuX** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 1:38 am

I got a shut out :oops:

PS: WTH @ Sam Gagner. 8 points in one game :shock:

by **ShoreSlayer** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 4:33 am

Gotta learn to trust my instincts. I had Carolina then switched cuz I didn't wanna be the only one to fail on that question

Gonna have to start rackin' up some HTs or all hope is lost!

No kiddin'! I like how when he was interviewed afterwards he said his teammates were egging him on to close out the game and get to 9 but he just didn't have the legs for it. Anyone can find the legs for a chance at hockey immortality!

Edit: :oops:

Thought the single game record was 8. Nevermind the immortality talk :lol:

by **NuuX** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 8:33 am

mooyagi wrote:Edit: Thought the single game record was 8. Nevermind the immortality talk

The record is 10 points in a single game - Darryl Sittler scored 6 goals and 4 assists in a 11:4 Toronto win over Boston back in 1976.

by **CaptOblivious** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 11:01 am

all i can say is holy balls and grats to Gagner 8 points in a game though not a record is still freaking insane.

Helluva game today between the Pens & Broons. Now, if only they could get Staal & El Sid back... :deathhorns:

That game was frustrating. B's gotta get their offense going soon. Sid was skating around before the game today, so he's on his way it seems.

I think the B's had chances they'd normally convert, but both teams did and that's the case with every game. Who capitalizes on chances and who doesn't.
Both Sid & Staal are with the Pens on this brief road trip, but neither will play. It's just good for them to skate with the S&C coach before practices and good for everyone when they're around the team. Hockey aside, I just want Crosby to recover for his quality of life, moreso than hockey reasons. Brain injuries aren't something to fuck around with..

The B's have had trouble scoring goals for the past couple of games. Agreed on Crosby.

Every season has ebbs & flows, and these are the dog days of the season. The B's were killing teams for a good while, but no one can keep up that pace for a whole season. Boston will be either the one or two seed in the East, they aren't going to lose the NE title, and playing well - and staying (relatively) healthy - come April is what matters.

But of course! We're just spoiled up here in the Northeast so we demand perfection :lol:

Figure they'll break out of the funk soon enough.

Hmmm... I think it was a mistake to mock Rob on the boat about Canucks and his HT. I bet he put some bad mojo on me since the last three days, I got 0/3, 0/3 and 1/3. And to think I was looking for mooyagi to mock his picks as well :twisted:

I'm fast approaching last place. Can't mock anybody's picks. Mocking the Canucks, well I can do that :twisted:

So last night I went to the Minnesota Wild v Dallas Stars game last night for Ed Belfour Appreciation Night celebrating his induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame. He's easily my favorite hockey player of all time, long before he came to Dallas. His well-chronicled alcohol-fueled exploits are a part of his charm to me. Always entertaining, crazy, and crazy good. As for the game, the Stars won a really well-played game in a shootout.

However, the highlight came after the game. Went to the Old #7 bar to let the traffic die down before leaving, and Eddie came in. Since I have several autographs, and I've met him before many times, I wasn't going to bother being part of the swarm of fans around him. (I was really hoping to run into Jere Lehtinen because he was on 70K, and I wanted to talk to him about it.) So as we were getting ready to leave, he came right up to me, and just started BSing with me. I definitely didn't look like I do now ten years ago, so it was baffling to think that he remembered me, so he must have just been socializing. (Though he skipped a bunch of people before and after our conversation.) It was probably because I was wearing a Stars Belfour jersey that I had him sign over a decade ago. It was just weird for him to come right up and start talking like old buddies who hadn't seen each other for a couple of years. Then, he noticed my sister had a huge brace on her leg, and asked about it. Interestingly, it happened during the Joe Nieuwendyk Appreciation Night celebrating his induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame. (Her favorite hockey player of all time.) His reaction was priceless. Oh NO!!! You'd have to see it. Just really amusing.

I've obviously left out a bunch of things, and he was obviously a few beers into the evening, but it was still fun. He's always been fun to hang out with.
