My apologies to the Lightning fans

My apologies to the Tampa fans who eventually will be coming here to discuss the keys to the game or something of that nature. The key to tonight's game is the Lightning arriving at the arena before the scheduled start time. This will assure a Tampa victory. Let the Cam Barker watch continue.

I'm going to the game tonight in my road (white) Giguere jersey with the SCF patch on it and will be sitting behind the goal, a few rows up with my dad who got me the tickets for xmas. :D I just hope the Ducks put on a better effort and come out with a W tonight. Though I fear for the worst as weve sucked lately and hopefully the players only meeting did something to spark this club. Prospal comes back to Tampa where he'll be booed, hopefully we play better than when Fedorov went back to Detroit.

Don't forget: Prospal's nickname in Tampa according to Craig Johnson was Lou...so if you hear the crowd chanting something like "Looooooooooooooooooooooou!" you'll understand.

LMAO. That was on the front page of todays tribune along with a story about Prospal's return.

Lou Prospal. I like it.

Louie's got a couple shots so far. We need to stop taking penalties.

God I wish Jiggy would just stay in net.

The Lightning announcer keeps calling Holmqvist "Holmstren" or "Holmstrom". Hard to tell. Either way, it's not even close.

Jiggy looks awesome again. It's safe to say he's all the way back I guess.

Too bad the D is still out to lunch.

Now he's Holmchris :(

Great shift by the 4th line.

Vish bounces off Cibak at the blueline on what was supposed to be a big hit. At least he stopped the rush.

Once again the Ducks started strong and then faded. The last half of the period was all Tampa.

i see we are really sucky in the face-off in the first period...
chistov didn't clock any minutes.. 2?? wtf... give him more dammit..

Babcock needs to pick some line combos and stick with them for a while. How are they going to develop any chemistry when you play with a different player every night?

I had 8 cheeseburgers for lunch.

It seemed to me that he had more than that. He looked pretty good out there I thought.

edit- Chistov I mean. Not me eating cheeseburgers.

:lol: i was about to say... you must have been in the bathroom..
yea.. Yahoo clocks him in at ~2:5 mins
EDIt sorry it says 3:33

Not only are these annoucers rivalling the Av's for the biggest homers in the league, but Willis was holding Pahlsson the whole way up the rink and actually grabbed his jersey and slingshotted past him which is why Pahlsson had to hook him.

:lol: 8 cheeseburgers. Better check your cholesterol level.

D'OH How close did Feds come to scoring on the delayed penalty? Damn not having Centre Ice sucks.

These announcers are pretty bad. You're right about Willis ****** Pahlsson up the ice.

Whatever, they're all whores.

4on4 for the millionth time.

Who is Cam Barker?

Excuse my ignorance.

It was sort of a spread out, 3 hour long kind of lunch. I knew I wouldn't be having dinner.

If Feds had moved it a bit to his right it would have been in. Khabi's legs were wide open.

Who is Cam Barker?

Excuse my ignorance.

Defenceman for Medicine Hat. Huge guy with awesome intincts. Best Defenseman availible in the draft, expected to go within the top 5 picks.

Who is Cam Barker?

Excuse my ignorance.
6-3, 212lb, 17yo defenseman out of Medicine Hat.
47 points in 64 games last season, 32 so far in 39 games this season.

I'm guessing he's just a rung down from the Ovechkins and Crosbys of the draft coming up.

More homerism from the TB announcers. The defenseman was trying to push Johnson offsides (which he did) and he accuses Johnson of setting a pick.

Crosby isn't eligible untill 2005.

What surprised me was the annoucers saying that the reason that Fedorov doesn't have any points is due to the lack of puck moving defenseman. I guess Ozolinsh isn't a puck moving d-man. I'm not sure they're aware of Ozolinsh being on the team though due to the fact that when they talked about injuries all they mentioned was Niedermayer.. no mention of Ozolinsh or Leclerc.

Really? That's horrible. We're going to be listening to people cream over him for that much longer?

dam i wish i was watching the game... stupid work... blaaah

Took him a while to come up with that, too.

"They have some big injuries....umm.......Rob Niedermayer."

Nice shot, Nic!

Havelid!!!!

We're going to have to really dig in if we expect to lose this game.

GOAL! Havelid gets his second. Not sure on the assists.

Havelid scores.. an ugly goal but that's the kind we need. Everyone went to the net and the puck went in.

Great pass by Pahlsson.

Now he mentions Ozolinsh. Dork.

And now Leclerc. Are you logged in here, homer? Bite me, if so.

Pahlsson's under-rated. Too bad we would be lucky to get conditional dog poo for him in a trade.

chistov and sykora got the assist

HELL yes. Where's that Pahlsson is God avatar?

That boardwork was awesome.

Sykora!!!!!

Go Ducks.

Great pass by Pahlsson.

Now he mentions Ozolinsh. Dork.

And now Leclerc. Are you logged in here, homer? Bite me, if so.
which homer are you talking about??

GOAL! Sykora gets his 12th. Pahlsson got an assist, I think.

EDIT: Chistov got the other assist.

Chistov and Phlasson with the assist

First goal:
Havelid (2) from Sykora (10) & Chistov (12)

Second goal:
Sykora (12) from Chistov (13) & Pahlsson (6)

HELL yes. Where's that Pahlsson is God avatar?

That boardwork was awesome.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Check it out!

BTW I'm taking requests for my avatar.

Great pass by Pahlsson.

I guess in a way I'm a bit luckier than yourself. I may have to listen to NHL radio, but at least the announcer is an Anaheim one. He's no where near a Tampa homer.

which homer are you talking about??
Sorry, I was talking about the Lightning announcer. Not you.

Pahlsson did his wandering up and down the boards thing with the puck, dragging various defenders around before finding Chistov on the near wall.

That was Chistov who found Sykora in the slot.

If this team is going to make the playoffs, Sami Pahlsson is going to have to put the team on his back and carry them there. ;)

Sorry if someone allready put this, but i couldn't find it..... What are the lines tonight???

If this team is going to make the playoffs, Sami Pahlsson is going to have to put the team on his back and carry them there. ;)
He can do it!

The lines I think are
Chistov-Pahlsson-Sykora
Prospal-Fedorov-Johnson
McDonald-Rucchin-Lupul
Bylsma-Krog-Holmqvistchrisstrenstrom

Pahlsson is the real reason this team even has as many wins as it does.

Maybe a little Pahlsson=God will turn our karma around.

In the past hour, the radio guys have mentioned at least 4-5 times that the Lightning scored 3 shorthanded goals last game. Enough already.

God I hope I didn't just jinx us.

Maybe someone should remind the radio guys that the Ducks haven't given up a shorty this year yet.

To start the game! League record! Whooo!

Sammi Pahlsson could score three shorties in one penalty if he wanted to.

Chock up a short handed goal for the Lightning.

2-1 now.

lol I guess I jinxed us.

Sami Pahlsson = short-handed God.

Sammi Pahlsson could score three shorties in one penalty if he wanted to.

Sammi could score three shorties on one shot.

Sammi with the steal and the break! He took pity on Khabi and didn't score, though. He's a benevolent god.

Khabby got lucky that Pahlsson took mercy on his soul.

D'OH Sammi almost scores!

You can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him.

Forechecking? I forgot what that is, what the hell is it?

Put Sammi out shorthanded. It's almost like it's our Power Play.

Another awesome save by Jiggy.

Let's see if Jigger can keep from choking.

Why didn't they have this meeting a few weeks ago?

Why didn't they have this meeting a few weeks ago?

Maybe they were too busy buying xmas presents for their love ones?

Now comes the whining about equipment.

I'm sure Khabibulin's good games are never because his, although he's just as big.

Retards.

Simpson just lowered the boom on someone.

I've found him! Look, the Hindus already know about Sammi, except they call him Vishnu.

See? Never SHORTHANDED.

Get it?

Any chance the Ducks can blow this game so I can spend my night editing, deleting, and warning visitors about trolling?

Be careful what you wish for.

Vinny with a terrible penalty. He had a point, but you gotta be careful with what you say.

I can't believe we had an empty net for 2 minutes and still couldn't get a damn goal.

When was the last time we got one I wonder.

Could this be the start of the turnaround?

I don't know, but Pahlsson is the man.

I don't think we have scored an empty netter yet this year.

I don't think we scored more than 1 or 2 last season.

Anyway, that game was all Jiggy and the Pahlsson line.

Fedorov and Propsal looked good also, even though they didn't score any points.

Is Havelid going to play in the next game?

I think he plays until his wife gives birth. He needs to sit a while.

phallson played well in the last period that i got to catch..
too bad he couldn't get the empty netter... same as rucchin.. oh well

We won?!

Interesting note from ESPN recap:

In an attempt to change the Mighty Ducks' road fortunes, coach Mike Babcock had assistant Greg Carvel make out the lineup card for the first time.


Maybe we can get the monkey from tsn to do the next one.

lol

I didn't know we had an assistant named Greg Carvel. You go, Greg! Whatcha gonna do when Nieds gets back, huh? Huh?

:lol:

Is Wednesday's game on TV?

Doesn't look like it's televised in either city. Too bad.

Although according to my Center Ice guide it's on channel 421 at 4:30. So who knows.

Doesn't look like it's televised in either city. Too bad.

Looks like another radio only deal for me. Although I will be playing pick-up at Disney Ice from 2-4 PM on Wednesday. Maybe they'll have the satellite feed on.

Yeah right. :lol:

The game's on after that. Unless you hang around or something. I dunno how pathetic your life is, hanging around Disney Ice on New Year's.

This from a guy who ate 8 cheeseburgers today.

I'm thinking about doing it. How pathetic is that.

Well I'll raise a cheeseburger in your honor. *belch*

Well I'll raise a cheeseburger in your honor. *belch*

I have center ice.. so i'll be watching that game.. tee hee...
it would be nice to end the year with a win...

That's right. He's saying "here's to you, Chock, you magnificent son of a b!tch."

He likes old George C. Scott movies.
