I just saw the empty net goal in the New Jersey game. That had to hurt. Cleanest face off win in your career and you win it straight back into your own empty net.
You didn't need to watch the game to see that. It was on TSN non-stop for about two days. If you had seen any NHL coverage the day after that was pretty much all that was talked about.
I disagree. Ottawa's problems in the first round didn't really have anything to do with Gerber. Gerber played well for the most part and was at times the best Senator on the ice. Ottawa's problem was that they couldn't score. A shutout, 2 one goal games and a three goal game.
If it wasn't for that 15-2 run at the beginning of the season, they probably would have had Stamkos...
Because only one person here has been watching the New York/New Jersey games?
That doesn't count damnit! First you come rain on our parade with your "Oh the bug count isn't a countdown to release!" crap and now this "Well actually, we've already hit 1000 bugs..."
Stop ruining our fun!
I just spent all night studying for my accounting exam this morning. Staying up all night and being only slightly tired is much better than waking up 30 minutes before the exam and stumbling out of the house at 8:30am while still half asleep.
After I get home I'll have to do that assignment that I've been putting off for weeks. Need to do a quick write-up about audio casts, audio books and such and e-mail it to my prof by 7pm tonight.
Ron Maclean was saying Avery should have gotten a 10 minute misconduct for it, because he was warned once by the ref and then kept doing it.
EDIT: And the Flames come back from 3-0 after the first three minutes or so to win 4-3. :D
I did the same thing, but it still wasn't late enough. Why is it that when you want to sleep, everyone else in the house seems to take it as their personal mission to wake you up, but when you want to get up, they are no where to be found?
There are so many jokes that came to mind when I first heard that, but I refrained from sharing and now all that I've got are the really crappy ones...
It's about freaking time that Ottawa got a couple goals. They were down 3-0, but picked up 2 goals for 3-2 going into the third. They are finally starting to show some life!
I really don't think you can compare Gretzky and Avery, but I have to agree with Volo on the rest of his statement. Avery is an agitator with some skill and he does his job very well. The fact that he can score just makes him all the more effective. He's no Datsyuk, but then not many people are. There are far worse players in the league than Avery.
Then Calgary take 3 penalties in under 2 minutes. Somehow Kipper has managed to keep the puck out of the net so far. He's been pretty damn good so far.
EDIT: San Jose just scored. Took them long enough. 4 minutes or so on the powerplay with almost 2 minutes of 5 on 3.
There was one mission that I remember giving me fits. Can't remember the setup for it, but you don't start with a base. You have to go in and clear a section of the map first. In the middle section is a group of bunkers that act like banks which are your only source of income in the map. There is a group of air fields in the top left hand corner that constantly send bombing runs at you. In the top right is a big base that likes to constantly send M1A1's after you before you get anything really set up.
I've been using yeepeekaye to great effect (fires off a strategic weap where ever your looking.)
I eventually managed to beat that mission without cheating. It's been some time since I played though, so I can't remember how.
