Having hockey teams in Canada is stupid. They should move the Leafs and Habs to places like Arkansas and Mississippi where people know and care about hockey. And what's up with having our teams go to places like Stockholm for games? Have Swedes ever seen hockey?

That's awesome! I have a soft spot for the Leafs. It's that whole pulling for the underdog thing. Good to see them have a thrilling win like that after the McCabe issues last year.

Sorry, Casey, not a fan of those kind of Wings. The person below me has bought lottery tickets in the last week.

As long as I'm logged in and have found intelligent conversation, I'll just throw this in. Holland is stupid. Our team is stacked defensively. He needs to get rid of some of that extra talent and get a goal scorer. He should trade Draper for Crosby, a second round pick, 3 rolls of tape and a dollar. Then we'd get out of this overly defensive pattern and be the Team of the NHL. We could just move to Bratislava and be the first in the European expansion. All we have to do is get our guys passports since most of them don't have them. Oh, and the goalie situation: Ozzie can't carry a team and Cloutier (sp) could probably be gotten for Lids' salary. Waive Lids and pick him up right away. That's all for now. I need to go look at my Bettman calendar and dream hot, sexy dreams.

I've never had one, but my friend Joe likes them. The person below me has a friend named Joe.

Just me and the hamster. He only gets annoying when he wants out to run and rattles his cage door. I usually let him out, but if I tell him no, he rattles even harder. I'm up late now waiting for him to be ready to go back in his cage. The person below me has had a pet that sheds so much that they have considered saving the hair, carding it, spinning it, and knitting a sweater out of it.

Nope, I'll be supporting extortion. I bought the candy- multipacks of things. Now I'm going to go through and pick out the stuff I don't like so I can be sure to hand that out first. I don't want to be caught with the black licorice stuff. The person below me hates black licorice. <shrugs>

wow. Some optimistic thread we've got going here. OK, Here's to thinking on the postitive side! looking on the sunny side of the egg! the glass is not half empty, it's half-enjoyed! We're not even close to being out of this yet. Growing up as a Lions fan, I used to hear my dear old dad say, "We're not mathematically eliminated yet!" It'll happen. We worried about Hossa, and look where that got us. We'll come into our own and this rocky 7-2-2 start will be nothing but a bad memory. Go Wings!!!

I hate seeing people in pain. I just can't stomach it. Unless it's LeTurtle or Pronger or someone who deserves it, and even then, I hope it's just pain and nothing permanently serious. I'm just soft, I guess. I can't even watch movies. Or even cartoons. I feel so bad for that poor coyote. Oddly enough, I can handle real-life emergencies. The person below me has been on TV at some point.

Um, I like waffles..... The person below me sometimes forgets to empty the lint trap.

No papers on the agenda for today. I am getting ready to do my math homework, which I don't enjoy at all. The person below me has made edible underwear out of fruit rollups.

Nice idea, but the guys who fight are usually the lowest paid guys on the team, and usually when they fight, they are fighting on behalf of a teammate. If I may take your idea and run with it- how about a $500 donation from the team/ fight. Or a corporate sponsorship- you know, like the Belle Tire power plays, only without the annoying tire. They could donate the money in the name of the guy who wins, or in the name of both if there is no clear winner. Possible sponsers: Lucky Strikes Mrs. Blow's Hawiian Punch Blow Pops Turtle Wax Seriously, though, I do like your idea. Good cause, nice tie-in to the sport. Definately original.

Nope. Never. Not even just a pie tin of whipped cream. (Side note to Brandon: I read your post as "Avenged Sevenfold, Buckcherry, Shinedown and Sid Abel concert". Had me wondering.) The person below me has worn leg warmers.

I have watched an entire movie. I've watched movies more than once. But if I hate the movie, I leave before I have to watch it again. This is the advantage of having no social life. I control the remote, except for the time Nik was out in his ball and ran over it and the tv came on to a channel I don't get and scared me half to death. Good times. The person below me has dreamed of being a goalie.

As much as I'd love to help you pay for your trip, I have to save my money for the bare necessities- food, heat, school- you know. Especially since we had our first blizzard of the season. Welcome snow, hello heat bill. The person below me counts on their fingers when doing basic addition/subtraction.

I've never seen Hook. The person below me has spent time marvelling at the versatility of plastic.

No work for me today. Thank goodness. I have too much else to do. The person below me has eaten a kumquat.

Not near the west coast, so not going to the games. The person below me is looking at the person above me's avatar and wondering if the person in the picture is wearing underwear or just needs a shave. The person below me also thinks it is silly to play without pants or stockings.

My SO is a hamster, and I'm at my parents (which means I got to see my first game of the year!) The person below me was born in the spring.

Aside from my teddy bear, I'm not keen on bears. I never watched Battlestar Galactica, but since I'm a Star Wars freak, I bet I'd like it. Beets....ah, beets. I always keep a can in the cupboard. I don't eat them often, but sometimes I crave beets. I know it sounds odd, but it's a thing with me. If I'm in the mood for beets, I need a fix, and I need it now. The person below me owns Legos.

And they complain about octopus matter.

At least we know Wednesday is "probably for sure." Get Well Soon, Lilja!

I have never been able to get a sound out of my armpit, but not for lack of trying. (BTW- Wham!= Wake Me Up Before You Go-go.) The person below me is fully capable of eating with chopsticks.

That depends on what it is and if I can legally/morally/physically do it. The person below me has used a pen cap to scrape out their ear wax.

93 for 93! Everyone will score their jersey number this year, except Datsyuk who will score his squared, and the goalies who will tally their numbers' worth in $hu+ *u+$.
