I had hoped the Orr-Carkner V would go down last night so I could have posted the fight video here, but alas, no fisticuffs last night. I guess I'll just have to drown the sorrow I have from not seeing a fight with some green beer and Irish whiskey. If you didn't have the good fortune to be born Irish, fret not, today you are all honorary Irishmen. So grab a pint, chug it down, and throw some fists.
Erin Go Bragh!

Fun with stats
Since February 1st, the Kulemin/Bozak/Kessel line has been up there with some of the best lines in hockey
Sedin/Sedin/Burrows: 44 total points
Ryan/Getzlaf/Perry: 40 total points
Kulemin/Bozak/Kessel: 39 total points
Marleau/Thornton/Heatly: 38 total points
I knew they were good, but I didn’t feel like they were THAT good. That’s awesome.

Also, don’t look now but our second line has 14 points in 5 games since Grabs’ return.

And 25 of those 39 points—including all but one of Kulemin’s—have come in the 8 games since the deadline. In other words, they’ve improved their points/game as a trio by 0.8 since the deadline and Kule’s full-time promotion to the top line. They’ve basically been on a Sedin-line pace since the deadline.
I have a feeling Kulemin has made himself a LOT of money on his next deal in the past month and a half. Not that I’d want it any other way, but starting to worry about just how much it might take to sign this guy in the offseason.

Love the BoO post about leaf fans needing kleenex, way to divert attention away from the fact that the *snes got spanked

Agreed on the Shamrock Shake
I stopped at a McDonalds inn Brockville on the way home from the game last night hoping to get one and they didn’t have one. It would have capped off a great night.

“…It’s one of those hits we’re trying to take out of the game and it happened again tonight. He asked me if I was alright and I said ‘What do you want me to do? I’m alright, but it could’ve been a lot worse.”
Don’t let Sens fans get a hold of this, less they start with all that “Alfie is so classy” crap
Wendel Killer Joseph
sens fans must be waking around in a daze this morning. getting smoked by the leafs just messes with their heads so badly they dont know what to do with themselves.
Thats why the are defending the hit from behind and trying to call us ‘whiners’….

Don’t think there’s any risk of that given his classless post-game comments.

Apparently Alfie asked Beauchemin if he was alright…I know a few Sens fans who will latch on to that shit and give me the “he knows he was wrong, he’s so classy crap” ick.
I missed Alfredsson’s post game comments.

Said it was just a “nudge”, implied it wasn’t a dirty hit and Beauchemin was a big baby. He said nothing indicating he knew he was wrong.
I’d like to see how he likes getting drilled from behind head first into the boards. Where’s Hollweg when you need him?

Dean Brown’s brain must be rotted from too much exposure to the Snes. No other explanation for how anyone can defend that hit.
Bottom line, the Snes are a team full of gutless pukes with whiny fans; they make me sick, and it’s always a pleasure to kick their asses.

On sunday I had green everything including one of those “irish” hats that was a giveaway at the last bruins home game.
Today I’m rocking the northstars zipperhoodie, but I took it off at work (because the office gets warm)

St. Patties suck when you have a job and can’t get drunk in the middle of the day. It sucks even more when you have to work overtime for the same job and can’t get drunk in the evening.
