WHEE! It's the big day!

I'll just go with plain old penalty box. Take supplements or watch what you eat?

Never! I have fallen asleep during them before, but never chose sleep. Work is another story, unfortunately. The person below me has had dreams where they are flying.

Hole Hearted- Extreme

We failed to score on a 5 on 3. This is our problem. That and CallSam#89.

Hasta la vista, Shutout!

5 on 3 guys. Let's do something here.

I would be open to trading Zetterberg if the other option was having my spleen removed by a chainsaw-wielding rabid hedgehog. I look at the success his line is having. As long as he's part of the success of the team, and the team is being successful, I'm happy.

I'm sure many equipment managers hate Pasha. Crawling in the rafters after a game in search of jock straps is tedious work.

I believe in Conklin. I also believe that the D had best get out there and play. We have 2 points at stake here; nothing more, nothing less. If we win it will help us; if not, it will hurt us. A win will be thrilling; a loss will result in pandemonium and demand for a goalie trade. I hate these late starts on the weekends. I will only get to see half the game before heading out to work.

My mother likes shootouts. I'm not sure we're related. Kidding. We're related. She's a Wings fan and all. I don't mind them except for the way they skew the points with some games being worth 3 points. I'd rather they had overtime for a bit longer (say 5 min of 5 on 5 followed by 5 minutes of 4 on 4) and then went to a shootout. Either: 2 for the winner and 0 for the loser regardless of if it is regulation, OT, or shootout, OR 2 for the winner and 0 for the loser if it is regulation or OT, and 1.5 for the winner and .5 for the loser of a shootout, OR after OT, give each team 1 point, call it a tie, and have the shootout be basically just for fun and bragging rights and to settle bets on who buys beer for the next game. Because beer for the next game is important. EDIT for clarity.

Get well, Sunshine. We miss you.

That was a "leave you grinning" kind of thing. Very cool.

Hard Hearted Hannah- Ella Fitzgerald (among others)

They kept expecting me to know the answers. Unfortunately, I did poorly in school until college, so I really didn't like school at all. The person below me feels naked when they forget their phone, purse, wallet, or other object that they usually carry where ever they go (other than clothes, of course, because then you would be naked).

Memory, unless it's stuff I don't want to do. Then I make a list to make sure I don't accidentally forget. Candles or incense?

Bravo! We're all concerned about Hank not getting the goals, but his linemates are scoring in droves. To me this says that Hank is getting the job done. Also, his shots on goal is still up there. To me this says that he is kind of snakebit (although a minor bite- maybe just one fang) at the moment. I have no doubt that he will continue to impress, although factors such as age and injury do and will have their effect. He is, after all human.

I'm going for New England. I think they have just a bit more to prove. Kind of like the Penis in '09. Bastards.

That depends on whether or not you count going to my parents' house. I prefer to celebrate my 2nd favourite holiday (after Christmas) in solitude or, barring that, in the company of real football fans who are there to WATCH THE GAME rather than socialize. I also prefer it if they like watching the commercials. There's plenty of time before and after the game, and during halftime to chat. The person below me is picking New England.

When I had my old computer, I would freeze and then catch up with the game. Sometimes it would be several minutes at a time. Now I only notice it in increments of seconds due to a better computer. I never thought that it was an actual problem at the arena. I figured it was the computer or tv that was doing the odd clock things.

I just don't go over the limit by that much. I guess you could say I know the cushion. The person below me has plans for the Superbowl.

Coke. Chow mein or lo mein?

I did at the c-store. They found out that due to having 3 different managers in under 3 years, I have not been getting raises, so they gave me one. I had been promised to be moved up to $8.60 in less than a year, but it didn't happen, so now they jacked me up to almost $9.60. I'm stoked. The full-time job gives raises annually on your anniversary date, so I'm not due until July. The person below me has gotten a speeding ticket.

Cool. I've never been to the Joe and have never heard of anyone getting the honour, so I'm glad they have something. I've seen the plaques sometimes on tv, but have never seen them up close.

February looks busy. Thanks, Matt!
