Well That Was........ Something.......... Disappointing But Something............

Well there goes the season. Once again neither of the SCF teams from last year make it out of the first round. I don't know who to root for now that Ducks are out. Maybe Philly or Montreal. Definitely not Detroit or Dallas or San Jose or really anyone in the west. Except maybe Colorado.

This leads to some questions:

• Will Scott Niedermayer return for one more year?
• Will Teemu retire?
• Will they add some scorers? Cause if you haven't noticed they need some. The leading goal getter this year had 29. Granted he was hurt late in the season.
  
• Do they lock up Hiller for a couple years? I hope so.
• Was letting Penner go worth it? How about the Macdonald for Dougie Weight trade?
• Will Parros come next season with a mullet?
• That last one was to relieve the tension.

Well here is to next season.

This Guy Must Have Something On The Refs...........

I mean seriously. Turco has repeatedly dislodged the net whenever he wants to usually when the Stars have a delayed penalty coming to them. He got a away with a bear hug on Perry last night. Repeatedly high sticks opponents. And then there is this which it totally illegal. I am just surprised with the way the calls have been going that Selanne didn't receive an interference penalty on this one.

Anytime You See This Headline You Just Gotta Be Happy..............

Perry Likely to Play in Game 4

Especially when he is your teams leading goal getter. Now I am really excited for tonights game. With Perry in the lineup and Robbie Nieds still out the lines should be I think.

Getzlaf/Perry/May
Carter/Selanne/Kunitz
Marchant/Pahlsson/Moen
Weight/Bertuzzi/Parros

With Prongs and Scotty paired up. Also anytime you have players the calliber of Weight and Bert on the fourth line. Look Out.

Ummmmmmmm.............

I am not going to completely blame the refs on this one. Although they did call a few bogus penalties. But the Ducks had no life tonight. They were always going for the big hit instead of protecting the crease on the penalty kill. So Boys here is something to get you pumped to beat up the Sars on Saturday.




- I meant to write Sars. It is kinda like the queens.

What A Day.........

So this starts Friday when I found an almost closed auction on Ebay. I saw that it had 6 minutes left and noone had bid on it yet. It was Angels tickets for Wednesday April 9th game. Opening bid was 99 cents so I put a dollar in my max bid. Six agonizing, painfully intense minutes go by. I won at 99 cents. Four dollars for shipping. The tickets should be here by Tuesday, plenty of time to get to the game on time. Tuesday comes along. No tickets. Gasp. I e-mailed the seller and he tells me he has the option of "e-mailing me replacement tickets." So I say ok lets do that. Sleep time. Wake up. Seller has e-mailed me. "Tracking number says they were delivered yesterday." Uh oh the mail person delivered to the wrong address. (assuming). So I e-mail seller saying they were delivered to wrong address. He says ok will send tickets. It is 10:30 with a 12:35 game time. So I see if Nick wanted to go. He did and I am still waiting for tickets. sweat, sweat. 11:30 comes around, Nick suggests that I pick him up and maybe the tickets will be there when I get back. I do, then stop to get gas. I get back. Seller has e-mailed, but no tickets. "Trying to get a hold of my account rep. to leave tickets at will call." More pain and agonizing. 12:00: "Tickets will be at will call I will email you to confirm when they get a hold of me." Game starts in 35 minutes. 12:12: "Tickets will be at will call under you name." Rush to my room because I wasn't proactive in getting ready. Had to get socks, shoes, and the all important Angels Jersey. Get in my "Big Green Machine" start heading to the stadium. Knucklehead drivers out today. Get to the Stadium. Pay for parking. Game has started by now. Had to park in the furthest possible place. No exaggeration. Walk 15 miles to the front of the stadium to go to will call. Finally get my tickets. HALLELUJAH!!! Stopped to get something to eat on the way to seats because Cleveland was batting and I was hungry. I walked all the way up the ramps. So I got a hot dog (theoretically), nachos, and a beverage. Lets just say I haven't had a soda since Friday. Get to our seats. Angels have the bases loaded and Napoli is up. Ball, Monster Grand Slam to left. (I did not spill my beverage on the poor unsuspecting people in front of me like Ryan and I were the victims of on Sunday). 4-0 Angels. End Game, Angels win 9-5 hooray. Walk the 25 miles back to the Machine after the ramps again. Sit in parking lot for 30 minutes get out and the only way I can go is towards the "Ponda"(Pond+Honda Center= Ponda). Make U-turn. I think I will be able to get back on 5 easier from Ball st. WRONG! Take Ball all the way home. Takes an hour. Get home, and tell people about the Monster Homer Vladdy hit. O I forgot listened to Dave Demeshek on the way home dud is an idiot but had good point today. Wanted one person to call and tell him why he should watch womens besketball over anything else. No one could. Ok back to being home. Turn on some playoff hockey. Pittsburgh and Ottawa. Pittsburgh up 4-0 turns into a slug fest. Start watching San Jose lose (knock on wood). Still going on Calgary up 3-1 with 6 minutes left. It would be great to see The Sharks lose in the first round.
New Paragraph. The Ducks start their quest to their second Stanley Cup tomorrow and I am excited. Well as you can see it was quite a day.

This Is Awesome.............

So the NHL Playoffs start tomorrow. (Ducks Thursday). I was on ESPN.COM today and this was their first round playoff graphic.


Front and center Parros roughing someone up. Hope he gets to play a little more than last year. Even if he doesn't at least if the Ducks take it all again he will get his name on the Cup. Cause last year he didn't.

Updates..........

Here are some updates on various things:

• Apparently AD Movie is being held up by a single cast member holdout. They won't say who it is, but we do know who it is not so far. Jason Bateman, Jeffrey Tambor, Michael Cera, David Cross. That leaves a lot of people to choose from.
• Also Arrested Development is now on Itunes. All three seasons now on Itunes.
  
• Also AD is on HULU.COM. Just in case you want to watch for free and not support AD.
• I just tried to guilt people into buying AD.
• Apparently The Office will be back on April 10th. Not April 3rd like everyone thought.
• You mean I have to wait another week.
• Yes
• X-Files Movie is tapped to be released in late July. A new one that is. They brought everyone back for a second movie.
• I am going back to The Office. Don't you just feel bad for Toby sometimes.
• I was just thinking. The last thing we saw from The Office was Dwight and Mose playing table tennis.
• David Wallace hates his HR guy too.
• Oh I think everybody needs to check out the show Airline. It is on the Bio channel everyday at 1pm pacific or 4pm eastern. They follow around Southwest Airlines and all the knucklehead passengers.
• Andy it is KIT-KAT BAR!
• 
  
• I just put a blank line in and then told you about it.
• Oh I was noticing last night that Conan has been on The Tonight Show a lot since the beginning of the year. Maybe they are trying to familiarize him with their audience.
• While watching I saw a commercial for Tito's Taco's. I have been kinda craving that for a couple days so that did not help me at all.
  
• I am supposed to post something for small group thing Tuesday but haven't got the info yet.
• I wish that MLB would get a channel like the NFL and NHL have. Cause then I wouldn't have to watch the Eastern Sports Propaganda Network. Except for the sporting Events.
• The Angels open up on Monday in Minnesota.
• Dodgers open up on......... I don't really care
• I have a fourth ticket to the Ducks game on April 6th. If anyone wants it I'll sell it to you for what I bought it $20.00.

If Only We Could Turn Back The Clock..............

"You certainly can't blame Jonas Hiller, who was thrust into net before the game when J.S. Giguere came down with back spasms. By the way, how scary was it when Hiller went to the bench in the third with a cut on his forehead and Giguere clearly not available to go in there? Randy Carlyle said after the game, that if Hiller couldn't go back in, "There was some mention of George Parros" donning the equipment. Now, that would have been a sight."
-Ducks Blog


Oh how much I wish that would have been the case. Only if Hiller ended up being ok. Cause Parros in net would be the funniest sight ever. Now if ever there was a guarantee of a goalie fight. I can't find a video of the shot off of Hiller. Here is a sampling of Parros' work.

This all happens with under two minutes left in the game.......

I haven't really posted since...

THE DUCKS WON THE STANLEY CUP!!!!!!!!!!!

Ducks, and The Real LA Team

I did not win my bid for the tickets so i will be watching the old fashioned way. which is really the new fashioned way because tv are newer than going to games.
Also how 'bout them ANGELS they spanked the doggers in a three game series over the weekend. I mean the doggers didn't even show up to play. and then after it was all over Kent was all whining and crying like he usually does. (no wonder no one likes him) . WILLITS FOR ROY MVP

Here Come The Finals?

The ducks play tonight in Anaheim. it will be game 6 of the western conference finals. the ducks lead 3-2 after their great come from behind win in detroit sunday. The game starts at 6 local time and will be on VERSUS. I am very anxious for the game. If they win it will be the second time in four years they have made it to the finals. And the Senators look beatable. Right now while i am writing this I am watching to see if my bid holds up to go to the game tonight. It has under thirty minutes left. I will post again when it ends.
