Oilers San Jose squee! Post

[shaina]

Come one, come all...here's the place to discuss the game...yes, sxeraven, this means you...*g*

The CBC used Rush's "Closer to the Heart" to open their broadcast...cool.

"Closer to the Heart"
Rush

And the men who hold high places
Must be the ones who start
To mold a new reality
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart
The blacksmith and the artist
Reflect it in their art
They forge their creativity
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart

Philosophers and ploughmen
Each must know his part
To sow a new mentality
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart
You can be the captain
I will draw the chart
Sailing into destiny
Closer to the heart


Update:  My Yahoo Messenger is on freaking CRACK, people...so If you can't get me, you'll know why.  AAAUGH.  Sorry acostilow...

my yahoo messenger infected yours!

HAH!

Well not really. *pouts* I tried messaging you and it didn't want to cooperate.

*cries*

Stupid Edmonton! I can't beleive I'm pulling for San Jose.

[lady-shain.livejournal.com]

grr...It keeps telling me I'm logged on somewhere else.

*accepts tea gladly*

Why the FUCK are you calling Edmonton, when you completely SPACED on the two elbows Thornton threw???

And, why, for the love of the gods, are you rooting for San Jose????!?

[sxeraven.livejournal.com]

Bleh... probably mostly because I think San Jose might be able to better beat Anaheim.
And um... Erhoff... but Hemsky... and other random Sharks ... and other various Oilers...

*wails*

Saturday. :) Saturday I will be happier.
Buffalo!

OOOH! Speaking of BUFFALO! Hehe!!! HEE!!!!

The hubby wants to know why you think Edmonton can't beat Anaheim.

[sxeraven.livejournal.com]

*g*
Well, not that San Jose is doing a much better job of scoring at the moment, but Edmonton doesn't seem like a scoring-heavy team. And if Colorado (granted, power play during that series for Colorado = shit) couldn't beat Anaheim...

Well, they always did say goaltending will win you a game, and sometimes (case in point, Montreal a couple years back) a series...

Seems San Jose's more of a scoring threat than Edmonton.

Anaheim's scoring = Teemu Selanne, so I guess so long as Roloson's on, they're good to go. *L*

Hee... I'm used to watching Eastern Conference Hockey and the Red Wings. *L*

[lady-shain.livejournal.com]

so basically, you've got more confidence in San Jose's ability to score, and you're not sure Rolly's going to stay on his game?

Hubby says....Edmonton's grit will keep Anaheim from playing their game. Edmonton won't let them get their speed...

[sxeraven.livejournal.com]

Believe it or not, Anaheim didn't strike me as an overly fast team. Not as fast as Ottawa (against Tampa they were eating up the ice)... and not as fast as Buffalo (they FLY).
They're very defense-oriented. The shots that often get on net aren't quality (not that it matters, enough garbage goals are scored and they count just as much as any other goal)... Not even so much that they block a lot of shots (like Buffalo), but they're always in position, and Niedermayer (Scotty) eats up ice time the way Pronger does for Edmonton. And he is fast. Even though he's old enough to be a Ranger now.

Roloson is playing INCREDIBLE hockey. If he stays on his game, Edmonton/Anahaim might be amazing.

I really am looking forward to Carolina/Buffalo. That strikes me as a very even series. Both teams are big, though I think Carolina gets a slight edge on size, becuase their forwards are far bigger (Staal / Cole (still hurt I think, right?) vs. Drury/Briere there's really no contest size-wise actually. Speed I give to Buffalo... and goalies I think they're about even too. Both teams have excellent goaltending.

[sxeraven.livejournal.com]

and you didn't ask about my "ooh! and oh! Buffalo!"

[lady-shain.livejournal.com]

You're right; I didn't. Remiss of me. So...spill!

[sxeraven.livejournal.com]

I got a call from my buddy Steve, who runs the local card/comic shop... and this is what he says:

"So I seem to remember you like this kid... Daniel Briere? on Buffalo? You should come visit me."

and so I call him back... and he says "Come see me Friday or Saturday. I have a card you might like."

Me: "Which is?"

Steve: "That Daniel Briere kid? I pulled a 4-color patch autograph."

Me: "Uh yeah. that card's coming home with me, you know that right?"

Random side note... I went surfing Yahoo for pictures... and it'd be nice if the Yahoo people doing the captioning looked at the pictures and read the names on the jerseys in those pictures.

They just showed a picture of USA #41 and called him Brooks Orpik, but the name on the back of the jersey starts with an "A"

and then there's the goalie, who they called "Anderson" of the Blackhawks, and the letters I can make out on the back of his jersey are "CAS" and they come right in a row. There is no "cas" anywhere in Anderson.

Okay, shamelessly butting in here, but HOMG I LOVE YOUR ICON. Peter Wingfield owns me.

Shaina!
I was going to say that I have NEVER ever seen so many comments on any post before, which is true, but then I saw that you and sxeraven basically started using this as your IM, so ... not so much, I guess.

on another note, sorry I STILL have have sent you your answers. My bad. Busy as sin. Maybe you could post them on my site? I'll post a "Talk to me" note that you can reply to.

Otherwise, how the hell are you?

ciao for now, beauty!

Re: holy reply volley , Batman!

[lady-shain.livejournal.com]

Hee. Yeah, the Hockey game Squee! Fest has become a tradition, and sxeraven's connection tends to go wonky, so...plus, this way, anyone who's a fan and watching the game (or in the case of acostilow, who's not a fan but likes to laugh at Raven and I)can chime in...so feel free to join in if you're around and online some night...

Don't worry about the questions - get to them when you can...real life gets in the way, I know.

Other than the freakin' migraine that's on day three, and being waaay to busy at work, I'm fine.

How the hell are you?
