Bandwagoning: Night 1

in 2009 Playoffs
Email
PrintHoly smokes! Did you know that the NHL Playoffs started tonight? Well, long story short: I'm cheering for the Capitals. So are some of you. Capitals fans are happy too. J.P. even made us our own special logo:
Brian Burke is already in negotiations to get them to cheer for us next year when the Leafs make the playoffs. All they want is a few # 19 - Tavares jerseys. Be sure to check out both SBN sites. They are great gateways to the rest of their communities (Rodosphere and PotvinSucksosphere?).
So what are people saying about the series? Well, James Mirtle makes an un-terrorist-like prediction and says that the Rangers are done in five. TLP has five scary words for Capitals fans regardless of their vintage. Puck Daddy predicts that the sheer volume of Capitals blogs will bury the Rangers but if not it'll be the fact that no one on the Rangers can score. Of course, they do have one secret weapon with knees forged deep in the mountains of Kazakhstan! I think that he actually matches up really well against the Capitals. Do I have any proof? Well, in 25 career games against the Capitals he has put up 7-10-17, +6. Not bad.
Wondering what games are on what channels? It's easy here in Canada (Except for those that are with Rogers, good riddance, and can't see TSN2) but Puck The Media has everything sorted out. But are you wondering how to keep your levels of alcohol consumption up to Maple Leaf fans' standards when you're watching a good team? Well, Barry Melrose Rocks (the site does, the person blows) has your answer. What other ideas do you have for prompts to drink? I suggest the tiniest sip every time McGuire says "MONSTER!". Anything else and you might die.
So gear up! Consider this your open thread for tonight's games but you can jump into the other game threads throughout SBN via the Playoff Hub.

I was incredibly confused that there was a GDT.
Then I remembered… GO CAPS!
Although, I really want that extra pick we get if the Rangers get to the eastern final. Damn that Glen Sather for being a cheap bastard!

He didn’t touch it with his stick. At least not on any replay I’ve seen.

physics seems to indicate it went sideways, and then managed to get angled towards the pipes. bounced off the pipes, onto biron’s foot and into the net.

The ref ruled that it was no distinct kicking motion not that it touched his stick.

so
now we trust what refs say…?
the angle i saw, which admittedly wasn’t good, didn’t seem to show the puck moving towards the net at all, it went in off of Biron…

where do you guys do your bracket? i started a pick-em pool of my own about 6 years ago, but i just do it on a spreadsheet.
I do a round by round bracket – spreadsheet as well. Also I offer a bonus question-pick the teams in the finals and the winner(# of games for tiebreaks) Been going on 4 years with that.
My second year of running a multiple player pool. Pick 2 players from each of the set groups, and then you pick 4 players who are not represented in the groups.

mine i resend the sheet out each round and you make new picks. a bit more labour intensive than i’d like, but unless you really make bad calls, you can still generally be in it in the conference finals, which isn’t always the case in playoff pools. i give a bonus for picking the cup winner as well (picked at the start, you replace them for less of a bonus if they’re eliminated).

I wish it was a joke. I can’t wait.
Someone please please please post the comment!
Pension Plan Puppets: A Toronto Maple Leafs blog and a group therapy session.
Damien – if you ever wondered why people have a problem with the way you do things you need to look no further then this quote:
“Now, understand Varlamov is no Justin Pogge.”
Did this really need saying? Could you have not made the point without dragging Pogge into it, or making some sort of snide, anti-Leaf remark? If you’re going to write about the Capitals, write about the Capitals. Don’t drag a Leafs prospect into the conversation in a disparaging way when he has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
Maybe you could do some actual research and find out if a situation similar to the one you’ve proposed has ever gone down, then compare it to this, providing us with some sort of apples to apples comparison. Don’t you think that might give your analysis some actual depth?
I guess not.
Damien here. . .responding to Chris Hunt. . .no, I don’t ever wonder why people “have a problem with the way I do things.” Some like my style, some don’t. I’m okay either way. I believe in the ability of people to think for themselves, and not for me to figure out how they’d like me to write.
Regarding the reference to Pogge, let me spell it out for you. I work for the Toronto Star. Most of my readers either in the paper on the web are GTA-based. So I used Leaf references often because it makes sense in the market in which I work. That’s just common sense.
It’s not my fault Pogge hasn’t yet proven he can play in the NHL, or really even in the AHL. The point was to make it clear Varlamov is a much brighter NHL prospect. Sorry if that upsets your Leaf sensibilities.
THANK YOU
hahaha ‘responding to C.Hunt’ is how a real blogger would have done it.
Of course Cox doesn’t care. He’s obtuse!
Pension Plan Puppets: A Toronto Maple Leafs blog and a group therapy session.
This comment from Damien?
Highlights exactly why I don’t read him. He’s a hack. Pure and simple. And I’m very sorry he still has a job.
"I’m tired of trying to find happiness through lies and self medicating. If you need me, I’ll be at the bar."
If I cared about Damien Cox this would boil my blood. But realistically, is anyone, and I mean anyone, surprised by this response? It’s bad enough he opens with the arrogant “Damien here”, but he uses the GTA-excuse to hide his myopic viewpoint. Cox really does take full advantage of “can’t sue a columnist” rule every single time.
Supporter of the Sergei Berezin "Give and Go" - You give me puck, then you go to hell
hahaha
Yeah. As if he couldn’t just write “Varlamov is young but he has shown during his (x) regular season appearances that he is an NHL-quality goalie” because Leaf fans need a Pogge reference.
That’s what happens when people assume everyone is as dumb as they are.
Pension Plan Puppets: A Toronto Maple Leafs blog and a group therapy session.
What bothers me though is that as long as you write for a column, you can essentially write anything you want and you’re pretty much protected from every kind of libel. it’s frankly rather pointless to ever achieve accountability when your opinion is passed off as fact because you’ve achieved national readership.
Supporter of the Sergei Berezin "Give and Go" - You give me puck, then you go to hell
THANK YOU!
That is my massive beef with giving him a pass because it’s an ‘opinion’.
If he fudges facts then he should get punished.
Pension Plan Puppets: A Toronto Maple Leafs blog and a group therapy session.
But he’ll never be sued, so he’s got free reign unless he corrects himself or at leas acknowledges it. And when he does, he makes it a huge deal and somehow equates this as a “Get Out of Jail” card for oh, 100 more columns of misconstrued facts.
Supporter of the Sergei Berezin "Give and Go" - You give me puck, then you go to hell
Yeah, like the Bobby Ryan trade!
First, it never happened and we were all in dreamland.
Then we were idiots for repeating that it had ever been discussed.
Then, it got discussed but wouldn’t work for whatever reason.
Wait? What? Turns out we were all right?
Pension Plan Puppets: A Toronto Maple Leafs blog and a group therapy session.
Plus, Cox can badmouth anyone he wants to, true or not, because it’s a column. That’s also why we got such ridiculous reports like the infamous “White Jays” a few years back in TorStar because they omitted many facts relevant to the study and didn’t explicitly say JP and the Blue Jays were racist. But a columnist can say they’re racist. I just see something really wrong about the whole scenario, but I’m aware that’s probably just me overreacting.
Supporter of the Sergei Berezin "Give and Go" - You give me puck, then you go to hell
Oh man
That White Jays thing was fucking horrible.
No, it’s not. It’s endemic in the media. Look at the reporting around Tea Day and it’s build up.
