the CRASHER line
===============
It's amazing it's the Stanley Cup Finals....I still have tickets but all
I can think about is wondering how the hell I am going to get harassed
TONIGHT at the arena....amazing how that whole thing last game
with the moron and the digital camera has taken the fight from me :p
a win tonight MIGHT help...but that's not happening either :p
Pre-Game Notes:
==============
-- well at least the coach is as upset with the ON ice product as I've
gotten with the OFF ice product (nothing like having to deal with
employees who don't want to be working that night no matter how
badly they need to pay off their trailer park homes :p)...but anyway
Robinson is pissed and prolly another ass-chewing was given....the
problem is Colorado is too DAMN GOOD for this Cybil-Devils team we've
been seeing all playoffs
-- speaking of which...after seeing Gomez/Mogilny and Brylin in game 3
I've decided they get the new name on the team....meet the USELESS
LINE :p

arena NOT the Devils :p)

to Elias cross ice in the dot...and this is one "St Patrick" will see
over and OVER again in his head :P....Elias whiffs on the shot

Devils getting
a pp out of it !!! Skoula (interference)
-- Col pp:

-- and well ANYTIME a team has the damn momentum in this series they
SCREW IT UP !!! GOD !!! NEITHER team seems to want the Cup :p
(2 - 1, Col) Drury[10] (Dingman, Hinote) {13:54}
about thirty seconds after Thorne says what a backbreaker it would be
if the Avs scored...they DO :P...Fidget....to White...fires and missed the
short side...like Colin should EVER pinch :p....Hinote the first to the
puck....chips to Dingman who loses it but it goes RIGHT TO CHRIS
DRURY and DOES HE EVER MAKE SEAN O'DONNELL HIS BITCH
(musta read his lame-o Web Site that still has him in a KINGS jersey :p)
Drury...left....to right....by Sean :p.....looks at Marty and MAKES THE
SAME MOVE IN REVERSE ON MARTY....man that was AMAZING
as Drury undressed the WORLD on that play !!! Gotta give them credit
the Avs scored some SWEET goals in this series !!!!
-- Bourque...through a screen...blocked....Messier behind the net....pokes
in front.....kicked out Marty !!
-- Mogilny...from the blue line....Roy is CLEARLY no Osgood....or Turek :p
-- hey if I look REAL close I can see 244 on the TV behind Al Michaels and
there I am...that tiny white dot *l*
-- Hinote....Drury...BACK TO HINOTE IN FRONT....but MARTY DIVES
AND MAKES THE SPRAWLING SAVE....only 8 shots...but that was BIG !!!
-- and in keeping with NJ Devils brain farts :p.....Stevenson for tripping....
-- Col pp:
Bourque....in front....shot..SAVE Marty...DOWN ON THE ICE...but he gets
the STICK OUT AND POKED AWAY FROM HEJDUK !!!
Creepy seeing Peter Forsberg on the ice with Drury for that Game 5
highlight
with the Kings as I digress :P
Tanguay...in...centers...rolls wide !!
White...nice drop to Madden but Bourque shoulders him off the puck !!
Sykora clears and the pp is over !!!
-- play slows down and the period ends with things NOT looking good....
Third Period
-------------------
-- Mandy calls the cell during intermission...I make fun of Marty she tells
me my phone sucks....I remind her she's calling me on a FAX MACHINE :p
and the kid in front asks me if that was my wife...you know the lady who
came over last period ??? yeah Julie :p....I think Lynsey just got
dissed :p
but I told him no we're not married we just act that way and laughed it off
without involving that poor child in my social/love life *l*
-- Foote...long shot...stopped Marty...hey it's only NINE shots...it's a
mention :p
-- Podein dumps it in....RIGHT INTO McCLEARY !! This place would have
went NUTS if he dunked it into Fraser :p
-- No Gary Thorne say it AGAIN that the Devils have a goal per game :p
(4 in 4...that WILL change :p)
-- Sakic...with Tanguay....pulls up as Tanguay crashes....Sakic...FIRES
MARTY A HUGE REBOUND RIGHT TO TANGUAY BUT THE REBOUND
BOUNCES OVER AND PAST !!!! *phew!!*

posts who love him back you WILL get this now and then :P
(2 - 2) Gomez[5] (Pandolfo, ROY !!!....errrr...Corkum :p) {8:09}
Corkum dumps it in behind Roy....and psycho comes out to play it
....I guess he sees Pandolfo coming and wasn't threatened :p....
guess he's either been reading my propaganda or he missed the
last series and GIVES IT RIGHT BACK TO PANDOLFO WHO
ALSO ENDS UP PICKING ROY ON THE PLAY....and IN COMES
LATINO EAT TO DUNK THE BIGGEST GOAL OF HIS CAREER IN
THAT EMPTY NET AND THE ARENA THAT WAS JUST BEGGING
FOR ONE BREAK GETS IT AND THE PLACE GOES BONKERS !!!!!!!
-- Gomez...Mogilny...fires AGAIN...save Roy...Madden the follow
GOMEZ IN FRONT AND ROY HOLDS ON AGAIN !!! And the fans are
giving Roy MAJOR SHIT in the arena....gotta love it :)
-- and the kid in front of us is wondering why I am STILL laughing my ass
off at that goal....it's PANDOLFO kid...if you were rooting for the
right team
you'd understand :p
-- and this game was beginning to develop and just REEK of much overtime
in this game :p

-- and well the hit leads to motivation which leads to !!!!
(3 - 2, DEVILS !!) Sykora[9] (Elias, Holik) {17:23}
Devils actually change lines twice on the shift before with a good down low
cycle and WORKING it before the Avs ice the puck.....Holik loses the draw
but gets to the blue line to cut it off at the blue line....down to Elias

up over the years and find them fitting...and most of you don't read THIS far
anyway :)...and for the most the quotes below have been here so long that I
prolly don't even REMEMBER what's here !!!!!
"It's not a wide-open game, which they would love. If
we're not allowed to hit and if we're not allowed to
check, I'm going to come back, too. I'm going to make
a comeback. I'm going to play in this league if nobody
touches me. If no one backchecks on me, and if they
let me make plays and shoot on the net and get 2-on-1's
and breakaways, I'm going to go back and play. I could
play for fun, but I know I'm going to get killed if
we play for real."
Wild coach and Hall of Fame former player Jacques
Lemaire responding to complaints by Pittsburgh players
that Minnesota's defensive-style turns off fans.
The Wild, by the way, have sold out every one of
their home games this season.
"For Kevin Dean (who couldn't cut it on 2 different teams this season) to be
on our first pairing of defensemen is pretty scary. While it's nice that he
got a goal, I can't help but be reminded that even a blind squirrel finds
an acorn"

There is a line that many comedians use:
"If you didn't offend someone, you weren't funny"
(I LIVE by this phrase !!)
Too often, we lose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when
someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown BUT, it only
takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and bitch-slap the motherfucker upside
the head...pass it on.....
