I have no idea what those mean. U and you and ewe and eww are all different words. They don't mean the same thing. It's like saying I would like you to come into my horse. It's only one letter different from house, but I'd rather not subject my hypothetical horse to the trauma. It's just hard to figure out what people mean when they switch up words at will. As far as Lilja goes... I hope he keeps it up into the playoffs. It will be a treat to see what it is like from a player's perspective.

Could live on noodles. The person below me likes Arby's.

Tomato. Not fond of fishy soups. Spend or save money?

Not fond of either. I'm a French gal, although I do like a nice raspberry vinagrette (or however you spell it). French fries or mashed potatoes? (I originally wrote masked potatoes, and now I'm giggling over the mental image of baked potatoes with little masks holding up a cow and saying, "Give me all your butter and sour cream!")

Not really. I work nights, so I sleep better when it's cool and cloudy. The person below me is contemplating lunch.

Give Me That Girl- Joe Nichols

I had difficulty with that, but I pretended that "u" is Swedish for "you" and went on with it. I know it isn't, but it was the only way I could get through it. I don't know if he just doesn't know any better or if he is still suffering effects of the concussion.

My rule book is a year old, but I don't think this has changed. If I'm wrong, I'll certainly welcome correction. The phrases in all caps are as printed in the book. Rule 39.4 The following situations are subject to review by the Video Goal Judge: (blah, blah, stuff that doesn't apply) (iv) Puck directed or batted into the net by a hand or foot or deliberately batted with any part of the attacking player's body. With the use of a foot/skate, was a distinct kicking motion evident? If so, the apparent goal must be disallowed. A DISTINCT KICKING MOTION is one which, with a pendulum motion, the player propels the puck with his skate into the net. If the Video Goal Judge determines that it was put into the net by an attacking player using a distinct kicking motion, it must be ruled NO GOAL. This would also be true even if the puck, after being kicked, deflects off any ofther player of either team and then into the net. This is still a NO GOAL. See also 49.2. 49.2 Kicking the puck shall be permitted in all zones. A goal cannot be scored by an attacking player who uses a distinct kicking motion to propel the puck into the net. A goal cannot be scored by an attacking player who kicks a puck that deflects into the net off any player, goalkeeper, or official. A puck that deflects into the net off an attacking player's skate who does not use a distinct kicking motion is a legitimate goal. A puck that is directed into the net by an attacking player's skate shall be a legitimate goal as long as no distinct kicking motion is evident. The following should clarify deflections following a kicked puck that enters the goal: (i) A kicked puck that deflects off the body of any player of either team (including the goalkeeper) shall be ruled a no goal. (ii) A kicked puck that deflects off the stick of any player (excluding the goalkeeper's stick) shall be ruled a good goal. Any time the puck has been kicked, makes contact with any stick, and then deflects off any player (excluding the goalkeeper) into the net, it will be ruled a good goal. (iii) A goal will be allowed when an attacking player kicks the puck and the puck deflects off his own stick and into the net. A goal cannot be scored by an attacking player who kicks any equipment (stick, glove, helmet, etc.) at the puck, including kicking the blade of his own stick, causing the puck to cross the goal line. Nothing about forward kicking motion in these sections. Only whether or not it is distinct.

I didn't read it at first since I was pressed for time, and don't live in MI, and have no idea what/where Cobo is. Then later when I read it, I figured it out. Of course, everyone else had too. The person below me thinks that people shouldn't "out" other people's April Fool jokes (like the threads) until the end of the day.

House if I can afford it. Carrots or broccoli?

Only because Sammy wasn't playing. If Sammy would have been there, he would have been shooting so much at the Kings' net that they wouldn't have gotten a shot on Looooooooooooo.

He has good luck reporting it this way. It's good mojo. Confusing to us mere mortals (yeah, I have to read it 2-3 times- or maybe 3-2 times) but it works for the Wings, and that's what counts.

Sindy. And dibs on Solnyshko's Peeps. Blow up and get it out or glare in stormy silence forever?

I Can't Fight This Feeling- REO Speedwagon

Too bad we have J-Willy now. He would have been an easy pick for Columbus Detroit: Pavel Raffy Homer BJ Boys: Nash

Oh, I would. He hasn't lost a playoff game in years.

Sort of. I get off work tonight at midnight from one job and go to the other one Friday night at 11:00 pm. It's almost a day off- 23 hours to be exact. The person below me has matching luggage.

Don't Stop Thinkin' About Tomorrow- Fleetwood Mac

Edicius is in contact with him now and should reverse the condition by nightfall.

Rob, Jack... here is a spot for you boys. It's much easier to stand up for yourself if you know that someone has your back. It's also easier to stand up for someone on your side if you know that someone else on your side has your back. It is also easy to get your side and your back mixed up when you stand up and sometimes you land on your bottom. Enforcers are good. Winning is good. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Great. Now I have to get THIS out of my head.

New name: The Fighting Hamsters! New colours: Puce and chartreuse If it's Octopi, wouldn't it be Walri? Go Detroit Fighting Squid!

Fruity Pebbles! Also, dibs on Solnyshko's frosting. Run in a ball or in a wheel?

I doubt it. Bert seems like the type who takes exactly the right amount of time in the bathroom. The person below me wants to kick someone's butt.

That was me. We have a thing going, me and Lilja. I pick, he scores, we split the prize money.
