Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar...
REMEMBER WHEN?
I know its like two days late, but 29 years later, we're still talking about "that one time we beat Russia in hockey" and I had to pull and old guy for a second...And that video was too cool to only put in once...sry about the mantage thing, my computer keeps copying the wrong address... :-/
2 FRAKKIN AMAZING WINS AND I WAS IN ENGLAND...AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! (p.s. more on England later) (p.p.s. no, toni, this does not mean that I am never watching games again, although I may go back to Cambridge...we won while i was in london, not there, so...)
2 reasons:
1) montreal is french, this was an english speaking week.
2) Flyers suck.
LET'S GO PENS.

CRASH MY NET FRIDAY and Leafs preview.
We know that some of your had some specific expectations for this feature. We're being bitches and not indulging you on the obvious. You'll get it when you least expect it, don't worry. We don't make these executive decisions without reason.
Don't act all disappointed.
This week's CMN is thoroughly deserved.
Ain't no denying it.
MARC-ANDRE FLEURY CAN CRASH MY NET

We only admit these things after the fact.
BEST FEATURE

One of MAF's best features is his undying optimism, his fun-loving nature, and the fact that if you listen to him talk he is really fucking crazy. Like, hiding-in-gym-bags, doing-donuts-in-the-parking-lot crazy. It's the quiet type of crazy, the kind that hides until you really take a moment to decipher what he just said.
That's my take on it. Apparently my mind took a quick vacation from the gutter. Don't worry, Zoe's here for you.
"I think his best feature is inhuman flexibility. . .because seriously. . .I would like to take that groin flexion to bed."
At least one of us has our priorities in line. Shame be on me.
LAST SURGE OF DESIRE
A 2-1 game won in a shootout? That is a goalie's game.
Blocking Dan Boyle in the shootout?
A 97.29% game against the current top ranked team in the NHL?
Marc, honey, come to us.
THE WHOLESOMENESS PART OF IT
We've never actually seen MAF not participate in a Penguins charity event. He is there for every make-a-wish event and hospital visit, he participates in summer sticks, project bundle up, this new Pens and Pins business, and just about every other Penguins event you can find. When he was injured at this time a year ago, he skated with Mario and a handful of other injured Pens to make a 12-year-old's wish come true. They never fucking stop.
And then of course he does these events.
These school situations are always weird, though, even for other teams. Most awkward moment of your life. Love you, Andrew.
Speaking of other teams, we'd like to take this moment to mention something about Penguins charity. And that is that it is fucking insane. As you know, we follow several other teams pretty closely, and we are constantly creeping on most NHL teams. The Penguins are by far the most impressive in the charity department. We are totally appreciative of that. What men.
WHAT HAPPENS THE MORNING AFTER

SIDE NOTE
We are more in love with Véronique than any wife/girlfriend, with the possible exception of Scudsy's wife. Get to it, MAF. We wanna see the fucking adorable wedding photos and hilarious pictures of you being a father.
Such skills with the young.

CONVERSELY, WHO IS NOT EVEN ALLOWED NEAR OUR NETS

-Asshole
-A fattie. And not a Nash fattie. A Hartnell fattie. There is a huge difference.
-Another one shorter than Kim.
-Talentless prick
(not my review of ozzie...im actually kind of ok with him...i just copied and pasted....i love my wings fans)
We play the Maple Jokes tonight...
I hope Pogge doesn't choke...flower sure as hell won't after that article...
On another note:
I'm still pissy...but better...i talked to my mommy and she made it all go away.
Still another note:
Luberon=awesome--most badass part of Provence
Yet still another note:
The flyers still blow.
Philly still sucks.

PS. THIS YEAR, SAN JOSE = GOLIATH OF HOCKEY
but aparently,
PENS = DAVID!!!!!!!!!!
My kind of WEST SIDE STORY (sorry kip)
flowershop win:
Things with IFHSA (Avery). It seems that his going to the Raggers AHL affiliate had nothing to do with NY picking him up. Dallas doesn't have a minor league team, and so they asked permission for the Wonder Weasel to play for the Wolfpack. So far Sean is playing nice with the media (hey, it's only been one day) and saying all the right things. (namely that he won't be making any more statements to the media) and that all he wants to do is 'help these guys win'. (and if you believe that, I've got a bridge that I can sell ya, cheap!) The Stars have really been missing IFHSA only posting an 18-8-3 record since showing him the door. Wasn't he supposed to be such an integral part of the team? I'm sure they'll show it any day now..... yeah right.
Notes on the Sarge (Mostly for you, Free Candy, since you asked when he was coming back):

(you have to copy and paste it...i cant hyperlink the NHL website)
On a not hockey note. Its been a weird week.
I have finally found classes not striking--in the sense that they'll probably happen. I'm really excited about the geopolitics class and the mythologies class--chouette.
Last night, Quinn and I went to a chinese place and an irish pub called "Le Manoir-" Coolest place ever. it was like stepping back into time. We later went to her fav. pub "O'Shannons" to have an aperatif, and made some really cool friends--Andre, Mathieu, and Nicola.
They bought our drinks (plus one other) and we hung out for a while. Totally platonic. They work between here and Marseille. And they saved us from this creepy drunk guy who wanted us to like him... :-/
I think she may have gotten food poisoning from the Chinese, but I'm still okay, so it must have been the beef--they warned us about French cows. "I just don't le-care...i'll make you malade, and there's nothing you can do to m'arretter! Mwahahahahahahaeu (that last bit was a french noise)"
For winter break, I'm going to London and Dublin, but we signed the thingy that says we have UK passports, so i think we're going to get charged. Damn.
LET'S GO PENS.

Malkin, Caputi $1,000 suga' daddys aka. Not bad for an alternate, eh?
BEAST
EQUALLY AS BEAST
props to the flower shop for the following:
EVGENI MALKIN IS A HOCKEY GOD. Remember what happened when Geno got it into his head to drive the team forward after El Capitain went down with the dreaded 'high ankle sprain'? "When the Croz came back it was to a team that believed in itself and the guys almost seemed to will themselves into believing in some sort of hockey 'Manifest Destiny'. It would be good to see that sort of hockey again, but there's a long road ahead and it's a rough one. But don't count out The Incredible Malk (don't make him angry, you wouldn't want to see him when he's angry) and those other guys he plays with if they start believing .....

Somebody said [Malkin] got real mad between periods last night and kinda let the team have it. Is that true?
Yeah, he was upset in the second intermission there, and he came in and he just said, "You know, we gotta pick it up," and put a thousand dollars on the board and we won the game. (Laughs).
What? He put a thousand dollars on the board?
Yeah.
What do you mean by that? (it's madden hence the interruption)
If the team wins ... he put a thousand up. It just goes to like a team fund. Team money, I guess. ... I had money up too, so I gotta pay out, too.
So, this isn't nearly as beastly, but it sure is adorable:
This explains last posts' Gary Roberts video:
Cooke shrugged off Roberts’ comments in the Penguins locker room Thursday afternoon.
“He’s allowed to say whatever he wants,” Cooke said. “At the end of the day I’m trying to help my team. It was pretty predictable what he was going to do. At that point in the game, down a goal, it doesn’t benefit me to go into the penalty box and even up with Gary. If he can put the attention on me from what happened, then that’s what he wants to do.”
Roberts said that Cooke “never really played with any honor.” Cooke was asked what he thought playing with honor meant.
“I don’t know; I never really thought about it,” he answered. “I didn’t do anything wrong. I stopped to have a conversation with Gary and he punched me in the side of the head. If that’s not honor, whatever, he’s allowed to have his own opinion.”
AND FINALLY TO END ON AN EQUALLY BAMF NOTE AS THE BEGINNING:
(I love my boys)
The Penguins held an optional practice Thursday afternoon in which 13 players participated.
The only excitement generated from the practice was when Boucher and Goligoski put a hole in the glass behind one of the nets. Boucher initially cracked the glass with a shot. Later, a Goligoski shot broke through the glass, creating a basketball-size hole.
“I was surprised it went through but it was already broken,” Goligoski said. “It was already cracked. Boucher hit it earlier. It’s not like I could break any glass on my own. It was a team effort.”
Did anybody else think 90's psa's might have been trying to encourage cults??
Ok, so the first one granted was kinda a dirty for yunz via myself...and the second...well, thanks for the...advice, peewee... :-/
WIN
HEY TONI: I'VE GOT A JOKE FOR YOU:
ok... this is random enough...so why not:
Funny how much these guys actually resemble hockey players trying to walk...

10:49 in the Third: "LETS GO PENS! LETS GO PENS!"
TAMPA BAY 3, PENGUINS 4
thank god. Game 53, over and out.
Oh yeah, and France is still on strike and canceled my class permanently for the third time yesterday.
But that's not what matters right now: PENS WIN.

THIS JUST IN: MALKIN OWNS YOUR FACE-
"Malkin showed us what he was about. He ignited the crowd. He ignited his teammates. His third-period and OT performance is on the periodic table of elements."<--don't see it? look under the radioactive shit!

Point made ---->
Malkin's Heroics Resurrect Victory
The Pittsburgh Penguins playoff hopes were dimming as the team trailed the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-0 after two periods Wednesday night at Mellon Arena. With Pittsburgh’s postseason on life support, Evgeni Malkin came to the rescue. The Penguins center scored two goals and added an assist for a three-point night as Pittsburgh flipped a 3-0 deficit into a 4-3 overtime win. Malkin capped his heroic evening in overtime when he buried the game-winning goal.
“It was 3-0, and it went 4-3, and I scored two goals,” Malkin said. “Every player thinks, ‘I need (to) score and play hard.’ I try because we (were) losing and because we need to play playoffs.”


Pittsburgh opened a crucial four-game home stand with a monumental victory. The Penguins improved to 25-23-5 for 55 points. Pittsburgh currently sits at the No. 10 spot in the Eastern Conference but the win puts them only one point away from the eighth position - thanks in large part to Malkin's clutch performance.
“He really took the game over,” head coach Michel Therrien said. “It’s what you expect from your best players at crucial times and you could see the fire was in his eyes. He was ready to do everything that he can in his power to try to win this hockey game and he was a true leader tonight on the ice.”
Malkin showed leadership before the start of the third period when he addressed his teammates in the locker room.
“He kind of just said, ‘Let's go boys; let's get these two points,’” defenseman Brooks Orpik said. “He doesn't say much in terms of getting the guys going. He kind of just leads by example. But he came in and said something before the third period and obviously that kind of gets you going when he says something because he doesn't say it very often. His actions spoke a lot louder than that did because he was about as dominating as you can be in a single period.”
“We talk after second period and say ‘Let's go guys, play hard and shoot the puck,’” Malkin said. “We didn’t play hard and shoot the puck and do the job (in the first two periods). After second period we talked in locker room. The guys understand what’s going on and played hard.”
Malkin, who was anointed as the Penguins alternate captain, has matured into one of the team’s young leaders.
The game appeared over with the Lightning ahead by three goals in the third period. The Penguins’ fate looked sealed, but Malkin refused to let his team go quietly into the night. He was a force on the ice for the remainder of the game. Malkin played physical – evidenced by his four hits – skated harder than any other player and put on an inspirational showing to resurrected Pittsburgh's postseason hopes.
"Tonight it was Geno when he decided to put everybody on his back," Matt Cooke said. "He can score more than anybody on this team. He controls the pace. He controls the tempo. He's physical and when he has the puck, it's like no one is going to get it off of him. Even if he loses (the puck), he's going to get it back. That's contagious."
Malkin jump started Pittsburgh’s improbable comeback by netting a goal 2:25 into the third period. He intercepted a breakout pass by Tampa Bay’s Paul Ranger at the blue line, batting the puck out of the air with his stick. Malkin skated towards the Lightning net and made a drop pass to forward Pascal Dupuis. Malkin’s momentum carried him around the net as Dupuis unleashed a one-timer off the post. The puck died in the crease and Malkin alertly reached to poke it across the goal line.
“Geno made it through on the first goal,” forward Petr Sykora said. “He got us going and we knew that we had a chance to come back.”
Mark Eaton made it a 3-2 game with his second goal of the season. Malkin then set up Sykora for the game-tying goal with 3:29 left in regulation. The Russian native had the puck along the goal line and tried to made a backdoor pass. Sykora fought his way through a scrum in front of the crease to bury the puck and force overtime.

<---Eaton your heart out...
“I think the second and third goals, (we) just put the puck toward the net and just go battle for it,” Sykora said. “When you do those little things you are going to get rewarded with those big, important goals.”
The exuberant Malkin flung his stick aside and threw his body into the glass in a demonstrative celebration before he was mobbed by his teammates.
“You saw how excited he got after every single goal we scored,” Orpik said. “Whether he was getting a point or if he wasn't getting a point, he genuinely get's that excited. It was great to see. We definitely needed those two points at the rate we were going, that's for sure.”
Malkin added:
“It's a great game and I feel great. I think it's next game now. We need to make playoffs and we needed (to) win (this) game and next game, too.”

Captains agree: THE NEW A RULES!!!!!!

PROPS TO THE FLOWER SHOP FOR THE FOLLOWING
The TFS Award for broadcaster of the night goes to Bob Errey for telling Paul Steigerwald to 'Suck on it!' during last night's game. Then they both laughed like a couple of 10 year olds when one of them has said something 'naughty' in front of the adults.The only thing that our FSN dynamic duo have going for them is that neither one of them is Mike Milbury or Doc Emmerick. I keep waiting for Mike Lange to burst into the booth, slice both their throats and take over the broadcast.... Mike, I'll loan you my knife. Seriously, it's sharp and everything.
The TFS award for goal of the night has got to go to Luca 'You'll sleep with the fishes' Caputi. 1st game, 1st shift, 2nd whack at the puck and his first ever NHL goal. Yes, in case you missed hearing it during one of the 16 times someone mentioned it, the last Penguin to acomplish this was Les Manifique' himself, Mario Lemieux. I'm not sure how far Caputi is going in this League, but he'll always have that to brag about. Well that, and his name makes him sound like he's in the Mafia. He'll have that too.
The TFS Looney Tunes Lennie imitation award goes to: The Penguins for saying "Which way did he go, George?" so many times trying to find out what happened to the puck or the Canadien they should have been watching. I feel for the Flower, he made 31 of 35 saves and sometimes seemed to be alone out there....
Ratt note: I hope sometime tonight to see Maximus, TK and Caputi on the same line. I'd like to call it the Scrappy Line. I can only imagine what the three of them could do out on the ice all at the same time..... Are you listening Therrien?
Bash those Bolts: Tonight's game is against the Bolts of the Bay at home. Their goalie, Mike Smith is out with an injury and they have an AHL call-up Karri Ramo and a new guy, Mike McKenna to choose from, but they're not saying who it'll be as of yet, although one 'insider' is betting on McKenna. Tonight is the night of the return of Gary Roberts. Scary Gary has just come off IR (injured reserve) and will be in the line-up tonight. I wonder if anyone is going to be playing those 'Gary Roberts' songs?
Je suis d'accord, Flower Shop...
Oh, and in case you were wondering...the answer to WWGRD is as follows:
the question is, how did Error resist talking about Robert's "fiji water" for like two periods?
OH. and just for the hell of it: i would like to remind all of you:

just in case you forgot.
sorry about all the duplicates...my comp. did something weird.
LET'S GO PENS.

Nothing brings a team together more than having to go to Antarctica for a game...
Maybe the strike will be not happening in my class today. I doubt it...but its worth a shot... 16h00 hours...Violence and tragedy...will it happen? Or will the power of Sarkozy distaste spread so far as the famous tragedians?
I guess we just have to ask ourselves: What Would Tyler Durden Do?
MCR's Bob Dylan remix for Watchmen is the #1 video on ITunes...good jorb, guys:
watch this:
My Chemical Romance - Desolation Row
yeah...i think that worked...P.S. scar?
Their Lyrics:
They're
Selling postcards
Of the hanging
They're painting
The passports brown
The beauty parlor
Is filled with sailors
The circus is in town
Here comes
The blind commissioner
They've got him in a trance
One hand is tied
To the tight-rope walker
The other is in his pants
And the riot squad
They're restless
They need somewhere to go
As Lady
And I look out tonight
From Desolation Row
Cinderella
She seems so easy
"It takes one to know one"
She smiles
And puts her hands
In her back pockets
Bette Davis style
And in comes Romeo
He's moaning
"You Belong to Me I Believe"
And someone says
" You're in the wrong place
My friend
You better leave"
And the only sound that's left
After the ambulances go
Is Cinderella sweeping up
On Desolation Row
Now at midnight all the agents
And the superhuman crew
Come out and round up everyone
That knows more than they do
Then they bring them to the factory
Where the heart-attack machine
Is strapped across their shoulders
And then the kerosene
Is brought down from the castles
By insurance men who go
Check to see
That nobody is escaping
To Desolation Row
Right now I can't read too good
Don't send me no more letters no
Not unless you mail them
From Desolation Row
(They left out):
Now the moon is almost hidden
The stars are beginning to hide
The fortunetelling lady
Has even taken all her things inside
All except for Cain and Abel
And the hunchback of Notre Dame
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
And the Good Samaritan, he's dressing
He's getting ready for the show
He's going to the carnival tonight
On Desolation Row.
Now Ophelia, she's 'neath the window
For her I feel so afraid
On her twenty-second birthday
She already is an old maid
To her, death is quite romantic
She wears an iron vest
Her profession's her religion
Her sin is her lifelessness
And though her eyes are fixed upon
Noah's great rainbow
She spends her time peeking
Into Desolation Row.
Einstein, disguised as Robin Hood
With his memories in a trunk
Passed this way an hour ago
With his friend, a jealous monk
He looked so immaculately frightful
As he bummed a cigarette
Then he went off sniffing drainpipes
And reciting the alphabet
You would not think to look at him
But he was famous long ago
For playing the electric violin
On Desolation Row.
Dr. Filth, he keeps his world
Inside of a leather cup
But all his sexless patients
They're trying to blow it up
Now his nurse, some local loser
She's in charge of the cyanide hole
And she also keeps the cards that read
"Have Mercy on His Soul"
They all play on penny whistles
You can hear them blow
If you lean your head out far enough
From Desolation Row.
Across the street they've nailed the curtains
They're getting ready for the feast
The Phantom of the Opera
In a perfect image of a priest
They're spoonfeeding Casanova
To get him to feel more assured
Then they'll kill him with self-confidence
After poisoning him with words
And the Phantom's shouting to skinny girls
"Get outa here if you don't know"
Casanova is just being punished for going
To Desolation Row.
At midnight all the agents
And the superhuman crew
Come out and round up everyone
That knows more than they do
Then they bring them to the factory
Where the heart-attack machine
Is strapped across their shoulders
And then the kerosene
Is brought down from the castles
By insurance men who go
Check to see that nobody is escaping
To Desolation Row.
They be to Nero's Neptune
The Titanic sails at dawn
Everybody's shouting
"Which side are you on ?"
And Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot
Fighting in the captain's tower
While calypso singers laugh at them
And fishermen hold flowers
Between the windows of the sea
Where lovely mermaids flow
And nobody has to think too much
About Desolation Row.
Yes, I received your letter yesterday
About the time the door knob broke
When you asked me how I was doing
Was that some kind of joke ?
All these people that you mention
Yes, I know them, they're quite lame
I had to rearrange their faces
And give them all another name
shorter, but equally as epic...it had to be movie-length. How amazing are those Dylan lyrics? I'm not even really a Dylan fan...man.
Mikey Way's freakin' awesome guitar for the video...
All the work done on the guitars and drum kit was by G, Frankie, Mikey, Bob and Ray. Total ownage. Art. 360 degrees. If your gonna make a song...make everything it entails...cause that makes you mind-blowing.
Okay,
