    4/10 GDT: Red Wings 4 at Blackhawks 3

    Kopecky questionable. Wings win.

    Vancouver new tradition

    And what does one say when being frisked for a golf club? "I have a pin in my leg that keeps coming out" or "Oh, yeah, that feels good"? I do think golf balls would be funny if you're beating a team that you are knocking out of the playoffs. Not to cheer on your team, but to razz them.

    Why not? I have a short name. Wings Win.

    I am always attuned to the food situation. I will eat if I don't think that there will be anything there, but I might just eat something small, like a piece of fruit. T1T2BB or SMACT1T2BB?

    Lots more. I get rid of cups regularly. The person below me re-uses bags or has a re-usable one.

    Just icky. I worked at Denny's for years and the food is good, but they came up with some stuff that I wouldn't eat. Go to bed when you're tired or go at a set time?

    I knit, but I haven't done it for years. The person below me likes chicken kiev.

    I would most like to see them in person. After that, I'd love to have them on the tv. Online is a last resort. Unfortunately, that is my only option. Nachos or potato chips?

    This or That

    I never thought of the second option and I don't ever want to use your shower. I wait. If I can't wait, I dry off and go in the toilet. Cold cereal or pasta?
  10. No more games for you. Seriously. Stay home and watch with us.

    Turco making bets during game

    Or one could say that it is "doing good" if it was donated to a worthy cause. The placement of the "really" throws that option out, unfortunately. If Turco gets community service for this, he will be doing good, doing well, and doing time.

    Well, I guess it's better than throwing actual dead Canucks on the ice.

    4/8 GDT: Blackhawks 4 at Red Wings 2

    Got razzed by the Hawks "fans" at work (one guy who doesn't follow hockey, but is from Chicago and defends his city, and another guy who wasn't aware for the last two years that Chicago had made the playoffs until I mentioned it to him in the second round). I explained that Detroit had clinched and had nothing to play for, but they said that didn't matter and that there would be Wings blood on the ice. Go Wings! Shut the Hawks up!

    Thanks for the memories. Lots of good times at your expense. Retire well.

    Turco making bets during game

    Gambling is against the rules. Period. If a fiver is ok, how about 10? 20? 50? 100? 1000? 3,127.46? Even if it is Canadian money, it's still currency. The fine should be the same as the wager. He should be fined 5 Canadian dollars upon which he must write "Turco rules". Upon collection of the bill, Colon Campbell shall cross out "Turco" and write "Campbell". The bill shall be passed through the glass to a random Habs fan. In the meantime, Turco must have an evaluation for compulsive gambling, and must refrain from any gambling of any sort. I hear he's giving 10 to 1 odds that he never bets again, and will go double or nothing during the playoffs.

    Head. My heart is stupid. Well-meaning, but stupid. Text or call?

    Oh, yeah. I've mis-read people and responded to what I thought they were like instead of getting to know them and being nicer. The person below me has had crabs. Like, you know, as pets. Or for dinner. Or whatever.

    Nope. Both times I was with dad, but one time our seats were apart so I sat alone. (Dawn: Rule 1 ) The person below me edits their posts whenever they find any sort of error.

    4/6 GDT: Red Wings 0 at Hurricanes 3

    Have a wonderful time! The Wings are so much better in person than, say, in animal or vegetable, although Wings in sweet and sour is mighty tasty. Wings win 7-3.

    The person below me game...

    Nope. I'm non-Catholic. I gave up fish for Lent. Just kidding. I gave up chocolate, but I'm not Catholic so I don't have to eat fish unless I want to (thank heavens since I generally don't like fish). The person below me has been pleased with the new pictures in the Hot Wings thread.

    Not particularly. The person below me hates spring.

    Better than listening to it rain inside. Actually, I don't if I'm home. I have a metal roof and it is annoying. Not as annoying as squirrels running about on the roof. They sound like there's a herd of Irish Setters running amok up there. The person below me likes camping.

    Kayleigh Lynn Anderson

    Now that April Fool's Day is over, I should preface this with a warning. The whole "article" is utter bunk. I read this from the Boston Herald and found it to be quite interesting. Basically a high school girl is playing on the boys' team as a defenseman and is widely considered to be the best player on the team. The full article can be found here, but I quoted the parts I found interesting, and it ended up being most of the article. (Skip cute anecdotes on how he never let the children score- they had to earn it honestly.) (Skip stuff about her classes and schedule. She has a 4.0 GPA and wants to be a marine biologist.) (Skip parts about how the guys accepted her once they saw her play. Extra note: she's 6 feet tall and 190 pounds.) Now we get to the really interesting part! So, what do you think? Is this girl being scouted? Would a team actually scout a girl if she was that good? Could a girl really make it in the NHL? I say if she's got the talent, go for it. If she can't make it, then she will be cut, just like every other player. She should get the same chance, but have to live up to the same standards.

    Babcock healthy-scratch decisions

    I had heard that Mo was listed as a healthy scratch, but that he was sore. I took that to mean that someone had to be a healthy scratch, and they chose him. The soreness was a side issue that would have not kept him out. I could have read that differently than was intended. I read the two things as being unrelated.
