The 2013 NHL Season Thread

Smoking IS disgusting and I loathe it personally, but if I'm watching a hockey game I really don't want to see some lady stick a cigarette into her neckhole and puff away. Seeing the smokehole is one thing, but taking a drag out of it was just a tad bit much for ol' Andy.

I recently had an issue at a Lightning game where a lady was smoking one of those 'electronic cigarettes'. She tried to defend herself by saying that there was no harmful smoke produced by the device. It's not my health (in this case) it's just a nuisance. Go do that some where else, not sitting in front of me where I am paying to sit.

BigMac's posts make me want to punch babies.

Hockey is weird and I love it.

Every time those commercials come on, I have to change the channel immediately. It's grating on the ears and disgusting to look at. Those commercials are quicker remote-grabbers than the Sarah McLaughclan (whatever) PETA commercials.

Ducks dominated most of the night. Dubnyk was awesome for Edmonton, but the Ducks fighting and got the W. Radek Dvorak has been nice little addition to the squad. Some added depth scoring thats proving useful. And It sounded like Justin Schultz enjoyed his evening in Anaheim.

I was off with my math yesterday, but with the win tonight, the Ducks magic numbers are thus: 1 pt for the playoffs (ANA +1 or DAL -1) and 8 pts for the division (+/-8 from SJ, +/-7 from LA)

I mean, seriously, I'd rather be subjected to timeless loops of Kevin Ware and Joe Theismann breaking their legs than watch those damned commercials. There's really nothing worse than hearing people talk about their neck holes or their decaying body fragments.

And these commercials come on without any warning, either.

I would probably be okay with it if they had Francois Beauchemin firing a slapshot into her neckhole, saying "SCORE - for not smoking!" and have a "more you know" ending of some sort.

So the Flames take the final edition of the Seth Jones Bowl. Either way we've all but nailed down a top four pick, our schedule is straight bonkers the rest of the way.

If you all loved ignorant LA sports media during the Kings Stanley Cup run last year, they're rounding into playoff shape for the Ducks now:

- Ducks acquire Matthew Lombardi from the Phoenix SUNS.

- Ducks/Stars highlight graphic reads "PHOENIX vs Ducks"

- Ryan Getzlaf scored in the 3rd QUARTER

...Sighhhhhhhhh. I'm sorry, you guys.

To me, the Channel 4 sports department (Roggin, Solis) does the best job of delivering hockey to the southland, with a close 2nd to the Channel 2 people (mainly Gary Miller since Jim Hill has a gravitational pull to the Lakers 24/7). Channel 11/FOX does the absolute worst at their NHL coverage (matter of fact, their GDLA show is a celebrity gossip fest compared to the other networks).

There's one they air during Blue Jackets games where the woman shows what it takes to get dressed. She has to put on her wig, and then hide her trach tube with a scarf. I can never watch it. It's basically Roald Dahl's 'Witches' in reverse.

Witches-Anjelica-Huston.jpg

This is a kid's movie that I saw when I was 6 years old that shows up in my dreams about once a year. Anjelica Huston and a bunch of perfectly normal women go to a witch convention then take off their faces and wigs and they all appear like the picture above. Then they turn a little boy into a mouse. Then they chase another little boy. It's almost like the movie was specifically engineered to terrify 6 year old me.

Getting off track, don't smoke. Smoking is dumb.

Isn't the rule "hockey makes no sense"?

Watch Steve Mason end up being the guy that ends the Philadelphia goaltending curse because hockey makes no sense.

edit: There's actually two steadfast hockey rules at play with Stevey Mase in Philadelphia. 1 - Hockey makes no sense AND 2 - Every player who leaves Columbus gets better.

Over the last 9 games, the Sharks looked better against the Ducks, Wings, Canucks, and Wild, and have struggled against the CBJ, Yotes, Stars, and Flames. At least they will be playing the teams I listed first if they will make the playoffs.
