  2. Well that's a lot of scoring in this one....

  3. Tech problems caused my feed to switch from Versus to TSN.

    The good news: no more Beninati and Brickley.
    The bad news: Pierre McGuire.

  5. Heh. I guess everyone had a problem with the Versus picture.

    Yay for moving to TSN!

  6. "Briere had to wait for Ville Leino to get back on top." - Gord Miller

    Eww.

  7. Select cable outlets are having tech problems with Versus and are currently getting a TSN feed.

  8. Certain cable systems (including the one my stream is coming from) is having problems with Versus and currently getting the TSN feed.

    Those that did have problems did not see the Bruins goals clearly.

  9. So apparently it is only ESPN America.

    Of course, my stream is ESPN America.

    Yay for more Pierre!

  10. @Justin: What's your problem with Pierre? He was on the Jim Rome Show today and I thought he killed. Very insightful.

  11. The Versus feed is back on ESPN America.

    Thus, it's back to Beninati.

  13. @ Keith: When doing games, he is Captain Super Obvious. He also has a never-ending hard-on for people that participated in World Juniors.

    Mike Richards played in World Juniors. Pierre loves him like he is his first born. It is quite disturbing to listen to.

  14. Hmm, I find Pierre very insightful when he's on Rome's show, especially his take on fighting.

  16. The Bruins are shot blocking machines in this game.

  17. 2-1 after 2.

    I am not going to like the end of this game, now am I?

  18. As disappointing as that Flyers loss was, at least I am not addicted to donuts like the guy currently singing the national anthems in Vancouver is.

  19. That third period officiating sucked. I have astigmatisism, and I knew there were two obvious penalties that should have been called.

    On the brighter side, Phils won 4-rock.

    ReplyDelete
  20. An aside: The Suns won 110-102, keeping Gov. Brewer from forcing Phoenix to wear ¿Dónde están sus papeles? on their jerseys for Game 3 in San Antonio.

  21. @ RJBO: That's good news!

    And if you want to see a terrible picture of me in my once lucky shirt....

  22. That shouldn't be a goal for the Hawks...

  24. Damn. They're gonna count that as a goal for Kane. 5-2 Chicago.

  25. Forsland: "He's got a little Chia Pet action," talking about Patrick Kane going with the playoff mullet instead of the beard.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Wow, John Forslund. Chia Pets?

    Oy ve.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Forsland: "Burrows with a few rabbit punches to Bolland."
    Reaugh: "What kind of rabbits do you hang out with?"
    "...That's what we call 'giving them the business.'"

  28. JFein, let me know if you need me to chart the inevitable Mickey Redmond whine festival during the impending elimination of the Wings tomorrow.

    /not enough characters in cyberspace to cover that

  29. @ RJBO: The way that series has been going, may I answer with a resounding........NO! ;-)
