Poor Jussi. He doesn't get many chances, and when he gets them he doesn't give this team a chance to win. The Oilers were destroying this sorry-ass St. Louis team for the best part of 60 minutes, but when you let softies like that 2-1 goal in your team is forced to chase the other for the whole game. I really liked the effort from 94-10-34, and if they can keep that mojo going things will only get better. This was just one of those bizarre games, but the Oilers played a good game today and that promises a lot.

Oh, I see. I'm listening from the NHL.com link which has a different window. It's simpler to access for me since I virtually never listen to Ched outside of hockey games. I think he's been known to do it from time to time. He'll always be a better scorer than goon, though. Svitov actually did get a 5 min major, but it wasn't cleared up until after the commercial break. Funnier still was that Patrick Thoresen got a combined 19 minutes in penalties from the ensuing scrap. Sounded like the Oilers got ripped off when Shelley interfered on Roli and Reasoner got a non-existent hooking penalty instead, though.

The elimination game? Anyway, yeah I agree about the opposition, but at least it'll give the team some self confidence. Hopefully they can build on that against the Blues (a game I hope to see) and come out of this road trip looking pretty decent.

I'm listening to Ched, and it sounds like the Oilers are playing a lot better. Too bad about Carter's goal, but at least they kept them at one until the intermission. It's always scary being shorthanded 3-on-4, though, so hopefully they can ride out that storm to start the third.

Yes. Also he's actually worse at hockey than the English language now. Imagine that...

Bob Dylan - Joey I actually always found Desire one of Dylan's most overrated albums, but it's still a pretty decent record I suppose.

I'm happier to see Hatcher struggle. I already said that. I'll say it again; I'm really happy to see Hatcher struggle.

I would not like it if Tigh got visions of Ellen since those kooky visions that Baltar (and #6) has are one of the more annoying elements on the show in my opinion. Ellen might have been a cylon, though; remember episode nine of the first season, where Ellen was first introduced? At the end, Baltar's own little personal imaginary cylon babe asked him what the test really showed, and he replied something like "I'll never tell." As someone suggested these models may be unique, but why would they waste a model like they did Ellen in that case? Then, on the other hand, why would they imply that Ellen was a cylon and leave it dangling at that? There's obviously going to be more plot twists with cylon revelations up ahead, so what usual suspects do we have? Starbuck? Gaeta? Dualla? Starbuck would the obvious let-down. They'd have to come up with a really good explanation. *scratches off list* Gaeta. Well now there's a thought. Some friends of mine have argued that he has no real connections to anyone and remains a bit of a loner. Having had his reputation redeemed following those collaboration accusations (I hated that witch hunt and it made me sick seeing what Starbuck had become - good television, though), he's the perfect guy to bring out of the closet now that people will be less prone to expect it. Dualla had some bad business with Roslin's pet Billy, which obiviously shouldn't go unpunished. She might be a cylon agent. I'm just thinking that maybe the other five cylon models can age and stuff like that, which would make virtually anyone a possible cylon, including the Adamas and others. Can't wait to see.- Pet Peeves

Too bad Magoo wasn't very successful fighting his own spastics. That's the worst call I've seen in any sport; the only thing that comes close was in a football game here in Sweden where a player on my favourite team got booked for diving when he was on a stretcher with an injured shoulder.- NHL
I got the impression they'll be free if you watch a crappy stream with commercials, and it's only the downloadable version without the ads that costs money. The problem is that games only come up after 48 hours, which kinda eliminates the whole point of them to me. I can't bare myself to watch a game that I already know the score of, and have never understood that perversion in people, and I'll very rarely stay away from all NHL-related news for that long just to catch a game. - The Music Thread - Currently Listening To
