After listening to my boss babble endlessly about 'Shadows of the Colossus', I decided to pick it up today, now I should get to it as soon as I'm done eating supper...

Actually it was a PM I sent to Mkreku in response to your latest addition to our (nearly) spam free on topic thread "

very carefully

Well the Oilers gassed a chance to move past Colorado and come withing a point of division leader Vancouver tonight. You have to play the whole sixty minutes boys. But at least we scored two more goals than Calgary did tonight. And Mike Peca (hopefully) got the monkey off his back by scoring his second goal of the season . All this and Martin Havlat goes down with a seperated shoulder. What a **** day for my hockey pool.

I'll vote for Visas.

And the monkeys won't slowly hold their arms out while you 'get ready' to do a move.

Be carefull you two. The Canadian military in response to the disposition of the government today took a second mortgage to purchase another catapult from the chinese. It's armed with beef infected with MadCow disease, SARS and Celine Dion.

Speaking of bad songs you can't shake, now I'm humming 'holiday road' by LIndsay Buckingham. TFN the lot of you.

I'm sick of this life, not that you care poignant words from one W. Axl Rose. Me myself, I liked the balls out rawk of Appetite for Destruction better. And the PA at work has quit playing top forty songs from five years ago. Although I shouldn't bitch, because hearing 'sometimes' by the Strokes and 'hows it going to be' by 3EB is better than the non stop christmas songs. I'm never at a loss when I hear five different versions of 'deck the halls' in less than an hour... But right now I just finished listening to 'don't leave home' by Dido and the next song that just started is 'blasphemous rumors' by Depeche Mode

Here's a beautiful shootout goal by former Canuck Marek Malik. And Oiler netminder Mike Morrison picked up defensive playa of the week! As for Kovalchuk, yes I'm regretting not having him in my pool. Savard and Hossa make up for it somewhat, but they aren't half as consistent ( that sounds really weird when we're talking about Kovalchuk).

Ha! I posted that in the original thread eons ago, but its still just as cool. *looks to the heavens for signs of the chimpocolypse*

Hey I'm just glad I didn't lose points for overuse of the ...

Here's a completely biased view on (D)ick Pounds comments. There are what, maybe three players from the league who have admitted steriod use. Andrew Peters comes to mind, as does Rocky Thompson. Like stated in previous posts, I don't think that steriods should be the major concern. Drug use exists in some form or another in every pro sport. But until standardized tests are introduced for all players ( covering performance enhancers as well as the juice) and the entire league is tested, Pound should not be making those kinds of statements. Olympic hopefulls are under the microscope this year, and Team Canada has admitted that in the past the odd player has failed his test. But where do you get a third of the league from that? What access does he have to medical reports, blood samples and a players history? Next to zero. How can he come to any sort of conclusion without evidence. Pound is a lawyer, which pretty much exempts him from rational thought ( sorry Gromnir). He's probably making a killing from the IOC or whoever pays him. Plus deep down don't you feel like he's a shlump just trying to make sure he gets himself some airtime? Now you having me wondering about Mats Sundins incredible healing abilities... edit:and I just about forgot to ask how was the Caps/Pens game Commie? You know I'm starting to come around to the fact that you're not Eldar.

Awww, thanks Eldar :"> .

I missed every single game tonight between work and our X-Mas party. Looking back I probably should have stayed home for HNIC, but two free drinks was just too tempting to pass up. And maybe Mkreku you should repost your arguement with Volo about clutch goals with thislink. No Oilers till Tuesday, thats just lame.

That seems like just a little too much work for a game system. But thank you both anyhoo Meta and KotorKyle. I'll just save myself some hassle and buy each seperately in town.

I am confused as well. Maybe I should have said (D)ick Pound is an attention grabber who has nothing better to do but create headlines in an attempt to lift his own public persona. Better?

By the flipped side of the same coin: The Oilers beat Calgary Buffalo keeps on winning? And Peter Forsberg suffers a mild ( hopefully season long) injury " I held 5th and 6th in my work hockey pool, and was in first place in the Sportsnet pool with the Edmonton Oiler forum guys. I'll call this day even.

Thanks KK. Can you do my X-Mas shopping as well?

Don't worry about it KotorKyle. To quote two famous Canadians 'thirty bucks is thirty bucks'

Futureshop is kind of lame. I thought I made a mistake when I reread that. But the EB games in my town is worse. I hate to say it but I buy most of my games at

Unfortunately the little sign saying ' Ships to U.S. addresses only' is a bit of a turnoff. And looking further into the first one shows its not available in my local store.
