PrintLoser Domi here, being your substitute Princess Game Thread for the evening.
IN honor of the Flames, I'm trying to come up with songs that have flames or fire in the title. So far I have:
Johnny Cash--"Ring of Fire"
Kings of Leon--"Sex on fire"
DragonForce--"through the Fire and the Flames
and this training montage from Rocky 4 to "Hearts in fire":
Rocky IV Hearts On Fire (via Clouz87)
suggestons? thoughts? Let's get this game on

I had to use IE because firefox would not let me sign out of PPP (I had to sign out to use my story making privileges.) It’s very slooooowww and annoying, especially at scrolling.

If you want crap, safari 4, fuggedaboutit. Being on a mac and all limits my options a little more but, god damn, safari is terrible now.
Can’t wait for google chrome for mac!

To be on the safe side I mute it for the duration of the 1st intermission and go for snacks.

I'm glad
Gerber painted his mask. It is kinda funny since he had a plain black mask for so long in Ottawa. I think he’s proud of being a leaf.

Jeff Finger’s intermission interviews have kind of a Bret Hart vibe too them.

What about ...

Strange Fire – Indigo Girls
Did both teams forget to actually bring their goalies along, and just hung empty uniforms in each net? :)

Until I started thinking about it, I hadn’t realized how many songs use fire and flame imagery. It’s an extremely common motif.

Hughson not annoying since he just gave an update on how Braydon Schenn is doing (apparently well, 7th in WHL scoring).

who cares about Schenn 2.0
we wont be able to draft him, as much as i would love too see him as a leaf

It would still sound much better if Bob Cole had said it.

Come playoff time
Gonna need a team to cheer for: Columbus BlueJackets (if they make it)
Disappointed since 1984
the Caps
are generally the back up Eastern team.
by Karina on Mar 14, 2009 8:26 PM EDT up reply actions
Ive been quietly cheering for the blue jackets for a few years, seeing as Nash is one of my fave players. Been saying for 2 years, once they got a goalie, they will be good
Disappointed since 1984
Steve Mason is the real deal. The fans in the area are very excited about their first playoff appearance, which is good to see considering the line of bs that the former GM gave them for so long.

how
McLean kept is job for so long, I have no idea.
Same deal with Waddell in Atlanta. Brutal that he’s still employed.
by Karina on Mar 14, 2009 8:31 PM EDT up reply actions
Whats worse
HE IS ON THE RADIO AND TV! He was awful, he should have no opinion
Disappointed since 1984
Mike Milbury set the precedent.
Pension Plan Puppets*
* Blog contains less than 2% puppet content by weight.
he’s a blowhard. I avoid his stuff at all costs.
He’s also firmly convinced he will be a GM once again, unlike Milbury who’s pretty much resigned to being a commentator for the rest of his career.
by Karina on Mar 14, 2009 8:34 PM EDT up reply actions
The hilarity of Milbury doing trade commentary is nearly unmatched, though.
I wonder if there will be a movement among GMs as with coaches. There seems to be a willingness to go with young, energetic, guys with new ideas instead of just recycling the same old experienced names that everyone recognizes. Just because someone has been around a while doesn’t mean they are a bad idea for a new job, but it shouldn’t be a free pass into another job.
"A vacuum is a hell of a lot better than some of the stuff that nature replaces it with." -- Tennessee Williams
Waddell should get the Old Yeller treatment.
"A vacuum is a hell of a lot better than some of the stuff that nature replaces it with." -- Tennessee Williams
Why would you harbor ill will towards Waddell? He’s the kind of GM that will get us Kovalchuk for Ian White, Oreskovic, Reimer and a 2nd round pick.

My support is with Nashville Preds, but I would love to see them in, too.

Do we need a PPPPoll to find out who to collectively cheer for in the postseason?
Short list:
- Columbus
- Nashville
- Boston
- San Jose

I say San Jose. I’d like to go with a potential winner.
Cheering for boston is almost as bad as cheering for the habs, and worse than cheering for the sens even.

At least until the second round for the Sharks, anyway. :)
It will be interesting to see how this year goes for them.

Sharks will implode most spectacularly and detroit will probably take the west if their goaltending charade doesn’t completely collapse in on itself.
