Happy B-day, Stranger!

My chest is hairier on the left side than on the right for some weird reason.

This is getting a bit frustrating. The Oilers let in late goals in both the first and second periods while their divisional rivals grab late winners. Oh well, at least Lupul scored his first goal.

Those 'Nucks are starting to annoy me. They're supposed to suck and they come back with a late Sedin effort. I watched New Jersey-Carolina and took some sort of perverted comfort in seeing the 'Canes shut out. I really have a hard time liking that team for whatever reason.

Pittsburgh will be a roller-coaster and so will MAF. I saw their game and even if he played well and shut the Flyers out, he wasn't perfect and it was a lot down to sloppy finishing from the Flyers (the way Forsberg handed out sitters to Knuble and Gagne in one of their PPs you have to feel for the guy; Knuble couldn't have got a clean shot on a beach ball last night). The Pens looked more enthusiastic and their quick goals in the first ensured they won this one pretty easy, but I suspect they'll get mauled over the long haul.

I suspect a large chunk of those are from situations where Horcoff got kicked out of the circle etc.

Yeah, I like Cohen too, but his version of Hallelujah just sounds really bland next to Buckley's. Regarding Tim Buckley, I must say I find Gypsy Woman the least interesting song on "Happy Sad".

I have a really good live version of Jeff doing Hallelujah. Haven't heard Wainwright's interpretation, but I know Cohen's original isn't special at all.

I ain't living in the US... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Neither is Alan.

I smell something fishy about this trade. The talk of JJ not wanting to sign in Carolina becomes all the more plausible with this lop-sided little affair. I can buy that Carolina wanna improve their win-now window, but Gleason and Belanger??? Sure, they also get to dump Tverdovsky's contract ($2.5m for a 7th defenseman somehow isn't so great value), but still there's something here that doesn't quite add up.

Er... I actually thought it'd be way cooler the way you guys talked it up.

I don't want to jinx anything, but I too think the 'Nucks will be in big trouble. That Kesler thing hardly eased Nonis' headache either, so they'll be in for a rough ride. I doubt Luongo will steal enough games for them to finish in the top eight.

I've been to Manchester. Actually, I've told you a bit of a lie there, as I've only been to the airport in Manchester, but still... I've been to London. Actually, I've told you a bit of a lie there, as I've only been to one of the airports in London, but still...

The Jeevas - Masters of War

From what I gather the Oilers took the third period off being 5-2 up, and the Vancouver rookies were simply hungrier going into that one.
