That almost made me fall off my chair laughing.

Well, gee I'm so glad we could provide such Sunday funnies for you. But remember, it isn't over yet.

I think he's finally learned that you can show your true emotions and we won't think you're terrible for doing so.

I was on the phone with my friend Jon, and I had all I could do not to scream in his ear. That was the wildest 1:24 of my life...all I could do was pray that we would hang on. The Joe just erupted like I haven't heard it in a long time. It was wonderful.

I absolutely love that picture...it's so wonderful to see him show such emotion. It's like he's saying, "Take that you SOB's!" I know in Russia, it's like you're not supposed to show your feelings when you score a goal, but he's slowly starting to come out of his shell, and starting to show some passion and emotion. I remember a game this season when he walked into the dressing room after missing a shot, and threw his stick down with this look of pure anger on his face. I'd never seen him show such anger before and I knew when he came back out on that ice, things were gonna be different. And you know, he went back out and scored the game winning goal. I'm so proud of him. I don't think there is a person on the face of this planet who is happier for him than me. Unless it's him.

Kudos to Maltby...still and always one of the most unsung heroes on the team. And to all of the critics who said Pasha would do a disappearing act during the playoffs, guess what suckers? You're dead wrong.

All I can say to Mother Russia is Spasiba for giving me the best reason to watch hockey that I've had in ages!

Trust me when I tell you we'll do our best to fulfill your wishes, sir.

I was on the phone when Pasha scored and I had all I could do not to scream in poor Jon's ear. Forgive me my friend...I was just too happy.

Happy Birthday Nick and here's hoping you get a belated present - the Stanley Cup!

Really! So much for the theory that he would do a disappearing act under the pressure of the playoffs. Guess what, suckers - you're dead wrong.

I don't think there is a happier person on this planet than I am that Pasha got the game winner...unless it's Pasha himself. I'm so happy for him. So much for the theory that he would do a disappearing act during the playoffs. Guess again, suckers!

My faith in Pasha has never wavered...never ever. I knew he would come out shining. Faith above all.

I was listening to some music last night and one of the songs was from the late Stan Rogers. It had a perfect line in it for the guys... "Turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain... And rise again" Sounds like good advice to me. GO WINGS!!!

4 hours and 20 minutes...I'm getting nervous. Happy Birthday Captain Nick! It is if they don't send him back again. My friend just came back from Korea a year ago, and now this.

I just found out a friend of mine is being deployed to Iraq for 15 months come July. Now I have even more of a reason to want this war ended as soon as possible.

10,000 Miles by Mary Chapin Carpenter. I am in a blue funk.

I have a very dear friend who is a Boston Bruins fan, and she said to tell you all that you are clever, creative, and you gave her the best laughs she's had in a long time. She said to thank you all, and give yourselves a pat on the back.

Well, that was nothing to write homa about. Let's hope that things get better in the second.

Are you alright?

Damn it all to hell. Alright, that's it...it's time for war.

Pasha why did you wait?

Yeah Dommie!

LET'S GO SHARK HUNTING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about! That absolutely does it! Wish Pasha would have been one of them though. Oh well. How about something along the Mythbusters theme? Where they keep telling people "Don't try this at home. We're professionals - we know what we're doing." I just had one cross my mind, so let's see how creative you are with Goldfish - you know the little crackers? Like maybe Pasha eating a handful of Goldfish that look like Sharks? Good luck!
