FTB: Ve-sa! Ve-sa! Ve-sa!

Vesa's last three games:
3GP .959SV% 1.30GAA.
- MF37 has a post up about hockey books. I really loved "Tropic of Hockey", it's a nice quick read for a lazy afternoon curled up on the couch.
- The Canucks have ripped off not only Down Goes Brown, but they also besmirched 17 days of Wendel with 16 days of someone who can't be mentioned in the same paragraph as Wendel.
- Torontosportsmedia has a quick recap up for last night (our recap is coming, we're tired and lazy).
- The Wonderful World of Loser Domi (flagged troll: "Calls Tie Domi a loser") has the true story of Steen and Glass Bones' immigration insanity.
- Two Line Pass thinks Brian Burke has scared the Leafs into being good. I sure hope so.
- Tex was at the game and took some pictures.

It is amazing good.
I went to a super high class Sushi place in New York a few years back (the ex was LOADED). It was one of those places that you dont even get to choose what you eat, the chef just makes whatever he wants.
I don’t know what the rest of the stuff is, but when he brought out the Fugu, he said “Just like Simpson show, you eat, maybe you die! HAHA”
It was an interesting experiance

Supposingly
The taste is nothing special, but the idea is that they leave in JUST enough poison that kinda numbs your tongue and gives you a weird sensation since the poison affects your nervous system.
But yea, people still die to this day eating fugu but mostly from unauthorized chefs, they have a crazy strict system of training chefs and licensing them for serving fugu.

I left at the same time, turned the game on in the bedroom, got into my Leafs jammies (I’m not ashamed) and slipped under the covers when the 5 on 3 got called.
Then Stajan scored.
Then Grabovski scored.
I couldn’t contain it. I ran back out to the living room, turned my computer back on and posted. THE COME BACK KIDS HAVE RETURNED.

Actually for the Rangers come back game I was wearing Leafs jammies, a Leafs tshirt, my Steen jersey, and a Leafs toque because I hadn’t left the house yet that day.

Also, on the Somethingawful forums two seasons ago we were convinced that multiple jerseys during the game was the key to success, ie. a different one each period. That naturally led to all of us wearing five Leafs jerseys at once, each, and rapidly spiralled out of control.

From the comment section of Cox’s blog:
hey Down Goes Brown … you really do need a life … maybe you could join up with Roberto and Johnny who clearly are perfect and hockey geniuses to boot!! – they seem to enjoy looking any potential deficiency in any person who would dare say anything negative about the finest sports franchise in the world (if you don’t include winning as being at all important …)
but please don’t ever stop writing … we all need some laughter in our lives these days!
Always nice to get that positive feedback.

Hughson and Cole
Apropos of nothing, but I finally realized on Saturday that Bob Cole just isn’t very good anymore. I used to have to defend him vociferously to Canucks fans who felt he was a “homer” for Toronto, or that he just wasn’t very good.. He used to be awesome, but the long pauses, the mixing up of names, the weird rambling tone he gets sometimes.. It’s really time for him to hang em up I think.
I really do like Hughson although he can be seen as a Canucks homer, I don’t think it is the case. I think it’s more that he has been doing Canucks games for so long he forgets he’s gone national now, and that John “Sloppy Canucks BJ” Garratt is no longer his colour guy. He does get weird fixations on certain players, but the flow of his PBP never lags and stalls like Cole’s seems to most nights now.
Anyhoo just some thoughts on that.
hughson
has an oral fixation on Bobby Lou’s junk.
however, i would agree he isn’t a “homer” per se. He does however hate the leafs, and you can tell that, no matter who the opponent is when he’s calling the game…

There’s nothing as tragic as your favourite commentator slowly starting to unravel and lose the plot.
Whilst there aren’t many that don’t make one want to put your foot through your TV screen in purest naked rage, the best ones take a game and elevate it to another level. When my idle mind winds back to my favourite sporting memories (the ones I wasn’t there in the flesh anyway), it always with those well chosen and apposite words.
For one I WAS present at….“It’s a rather weary one from Viera…”
