    Are you Superstitious

    For me, there are 2 kinds of superstitions. Type 1 is like the playoff bracelets. It gives me something out of the ordinary to let people know that I'm a Wings fan and get a hockey conversation going. Type 2 is the type that gives me some sort of release. By doing something, or not doing something, it keeps me mentally occupied. I can control my actions even if I can't control what is going on during the game. I also respect the superstitions of others, especially the players themselves. If I know that real live NHL goalies don't want you to say ut-shay out-ay before the game is over, then I won't say it. This is within reason, of course. If an ugly Wings fan knocks on my door and says he has a pregame superstition that he has to kiss a female Wings fan, I will politely decline.

    SCF GAME 1 GDT: Penguins 1 at Red Wings 3

    June 4th was a good day last year. Will it be good again this year? Let's get a good start towards that with a big W tonight. Sammy with a hattie. Hey, don't laugh. He got 2 goals against them in the first game last year. Why not 3 this year?

    This or That

    Do it myself. Just got the boards to replace my floor today. They were on sale, and I saved almost $300!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I just have to get the money for carpet/linoleum. Metric or Standard?

    Popcorn gets stuck in my teeth too bad. If I really need some, I go with puffcorn. The person below me wishes they had a maid.

    This or That

    Tato chips, although tortilla chips are fine if you're out of tato. Mowing or shoveling?

    The offical good Karma thread

    When I was a kid, we burned it in a barrel in the back yard. As did everyone. That which couldn't be burned went to the dump, which was always a festive family outing. I don't think taking out the trash is good juju for a good Karma thread.

    Crosby Pool

    The question I have been pondering is how many times we'll hear "the Detroit Red Wings against Sidney Crosby and the Penguins" or some variation of that.

    Hossa's cup quest garners little sympathy

    Good ask. I was thinking of when Schneider left us for the Ducks (still like him, BTW), but Bert is a much better example. Trade deadline acquisition, and left for a "winner". There were a couple of people crying over Bertuzzi leaving if memory serves me right.

    The offical good Karma thread

    At my age, the only pick up line I get is "Due to the holiday weekend, garbage pick up has been rescheduled for Tuesday. Please have items on the curb by 9:00 am."

    The offical good Karma thread

    Well, it's in a good karma thread, so I'm supposed to be saying nice things. And the Mario story really is a good one (total seriousness there). And women really do think Sid is hot, except during the playoffs when it looks like he had muskrat for lunch and forgot to wash up. And his belly button really is his weak point from an aesthetic point of view (during the regular season). I mean no offense to outies.

    It's after 5 here. Why I'm awake already is beyond me. The person below me hates it when they "improve" a product that they've been using for years and it ends up being inferior. I'm looking at you Phillip Morris- those FSC's SUCK BALLS!

    A bit more info on Lids' injury

    I hope that the Lidstrom injury is nothing to be concerned about, and I'm sure we'll hear all about it when the playoffs are over. On the brighter side, hockey players are, in general, as healthy as horses (or mules) and so whatever is ailing him, I'm sure it will be resolved far more quickly than if it were to happen to one of us. Behold our Fit and Healthy Captain:

    Cup Final Game 1 in North Carolina

    NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!ONEMILLIONONEHUNDREDELEVENTHOUSANDONEHUNDREDELEVEN!!!!! Fargo is doing the same thing! They did this to me in 2007. I was all relieved when I saw the dates this year because I thought that the finals were starting next weekend. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I need to make alternate arrangements. Sunnovabiscuit. I got cable just so I'd have NBC. I'm going off to fume now.

    The offical good Karma thread

    Mario is awesome and courageous. I admire that he has brought the Penguins back from the brink of extinction. It makes the "green" part of me happy. I also think that Sid is really hot except that he has an outie belly button and I prefer innies.

    Hg? I prefer those type of thermometers to the newfangled one. The person below me hates it when they do something to their computer that changes the appearance and can't figure out what they did or how to get it back.

    A bit more info on Lids' injury

    Look out Pens. Rhoid rage comin' at ya. I'm thinking that if he's walking fine, it may be a pulled or strained muscle used more when skating than walking. No idea which ones that would be, but I'm sure they exist- like when you go skating when you're not used to it and those muscles come out of nowhere. Lids, of course, would not feel that way since he's used to skating. I'm just wondering if those muscles are ones that he could have tweaked. Guess we'll know after the playoffs.

    I have trouble falling asleep in my own bedroom. The person below me clenches their teeth in their sleep.

    The person below me game...

    I enjoy weekend games since I have to miss the oned played during the week, but howsabout a Friday and Sunday instead of back to backs? The person below me has had their appendix out.

    No, the song in my head is this arrangement of Danny Boy: It's been stuck in my head for days. The person below me is sorry they watched that.

    Goalie Fights

    Ozzie vs Roy: Round 2. Rumour has it that Roy has met with the owners of the Colorado Avalanche recently, and has been offered the positions of head coach, GM, backup goalie, slush ****, mascot, and the guy who puts the sticks in the pickles in the new Pickle on a Stick kiosk. Roy will serve as starting goalie on Tuesday, Thrusday, and every 4th Saturday. Starting each April, he will also coordinate caddies.

    Stirring the Conspiracy Pot!

    Bettmen does NOT hate bunny rabbits!!!!! He had one for supper last night with penne alfredo and a side salad with a refreshing fruit platter for dessert. I can go with the later start. More time for Lids and Dats to heal. Less offseason.

    Draper out game 5, Nick and Pavel Day-to-Day

    My bad. I had it in my head that Malts was older than Draper, who just turned 38. Thanks for setting me straight without being a butt about it. I appreciate it.
