On frozen pond: The hockey item
| 
Mar 22 08:23 UTC 2001 |
You know it, you play it, you watch it, you love it. It's hockey, it's
everywhere. If it's hockey, it belongs here. If it's not hockey but
it affects hockey and it can be brought into a hockey discussion, it
belongs here.

pavel bure has scored 56 goals this season (so far). Anyone care to guess
where he may end up?

He's reminding us of how far scoring has fallen. Early in the 90s, 50 goals
*might* be enough to get you in the top ten if you got enough assists. With
Lemieux's torrid run of form, offense might just be on its way back in.

The Final Four is set. UM, MSU, North Dakota, and Boston College.
UM-BC and MSU-NoDak in the semi finals on Thursday, April 5, with the
winners meeting on the 7th, in primetime. It should be a great final
four, and I (as of right now) get to go! :) :) :) :)

You suck.
Good hockey games this weekend. The highlight was probably in a sports bar
in the Amway Grand after Saturday's games. College hockey dominated the
place. The Maine-BC quarterfinal was on most of the televisions, fans from
a number of teams participating in in the west regional were everywhere (and
at least unified in something; after a neutral playing darts broke a glass,
everybody in earshot dropped what they were doing and began yelling "Sieve!
Sieve! Sieve!" in unison) and personalities were everywhere. Prominent
visitors included MSU coach Ron Mason, former Minnesota coach Doug Woog, and
most of the local media members.
Beating St. Cloud was a pleasant surprise, too.

The Wings beat the Blues last night, making the Central Division title a
virtual lock. Further good news arrived later that night when Edmonton beat
Colorado, giving Edmonton a two point-and-tiebreak advantage for the fifth
seed over Vancouver. Keep them away from us.

heh. I*really* enjoyed the oilers-avs game. Very high energy, and it always
does my heart good to see Forsberg get manhandled. Go Oilers!
Does it seem to anyone else that the Wings are getting a little lazy? After
watching the two games back to back I was disturbed by the comparatively
low-energy game against St. Louis. Seems like it should have been much
more intense, given the stakes. Maybe it's just the average age that
everyone keeps whining about.

Tie Domi (anagrams to Idiot Me) got in a fight with a fan tonight.
Domi was apparently in the penalty box, when this fan spilled pop or
beer on him. Domi squirted him with a water bottle. The fan was
leaning over the glass and the glass broke, leaving the fan in the box
with Domi. Linesman Kevin Collins rushed into the box to break it up.

heh. I saw in on TV last night...most amusing. :)
Domi claims that the fans were throwing things at him more than once before
he started squirting water. And "the glass broke" means only that the
panel of plexiglass got knocked over, not that there were shards of glass
all over the penalty box. I think I'd believe Domi on his claim--you
could tell from the background noise that the crowd was *really* unhappy
with the Leafs.

Of course, it's Philly. Both parties are sort of at fault, really. The
league has said that it is going to begin punishing activities like squirting
the crowd, which establishes a nice precendent.
I want the Wings to hold a little bit back. No reason to exhaust themselves
or get hurt now. Save it for the playoffs.

well, you got your wish...I wasn't expecting them to lose to Philly, of all
teams. Hopefully tonight's game against the Caps will be both exciting and
victorious. I'm impressed with Lidstrom's dedication to the team--I saw his
face after the stitches, and it wasn't pretty. Did anyone see the details
of him getting slashed in the face? Was it a stick or a skate?

North Dakota beat MSU-- which one would assume greatly improve UM's
chances to go all the way

The UM-Boston College game was good, close game....Boston College vs.
North Dakota should be an excellent final.

Finally, Detroit is scoring again! As well as kissing each other. (I'm
just mad I missed it :)) Here's hoping that tomorrow's game against
Colorado is a good one.

That's going to be a great game to watch. I predict CO will spank Detroit.

Hah. I refuse to believe it till I see it. And there's always the hope
that Holmstrom (or whoever, really, I'm not picky) will smash Forsberg's
ugly face for him. Mostly I'm worried because I heard rumors that Scotty
was going to scratch Lidstrom for one of the last two games, and he played
against Atlanta. I *don't* want to watch a game against Colorado without
Lidstrom or Chelios.

In other sports news, the Rock'em Sock'em Robots continued their unbeaten
streak last night, defeating Playdoh in a hard-fought game 3-0, despite a lack
of scoring by either Greg Fleming or Mike "Woody" Woodroofe. (I can't believe
they call him Woody. I can't do it. I think I could manage Mike if I had
to, but Woody is right out. :| )

I can't either. Although I have to admit that the idea of calling my dad
Woody is slightly less ridiculous than the idea of calling my *mother* Woody
(which is the login or nickname that she picks given ANY opportunity). It's
just wrong.
Congratulations on the win!
