We are those members of the 300 who fought - nay, battled! - our way through the grueling hordes of the Vancouver and Dallas assault squads, numbering in the thousands of shots and millions of hours. We withstood their howling commanders, their jibbering beasts of destruction, and their mindless bloodthirsty soldiers running rampant and held our ground. We are LGW Crewmembers! Wherever there is a dozenfold overtimes to be endured, we will be there, surely. Aye, we will be there, as Athene - warrior-maiden of justice and wisdom - will be there to do battle with Ares and his foolishness!

Nah, you're gonna get erased again. 400x100, sir, your sig survival depends on your reading comprehension. This one's 210x100:

Sir or madame: The bird was pure awesomeness descending down unto the Joe Louis ice level! Birds often are designators of hope and symbols of affirmation. So long as they aren't vultures or ravens, that is. Take a look around the cultures of the world and surely you will see the power that these avians have had upon we earthbound folk, we - aspiring to be amongst the clouds. Bernie takes affront with such an insult and will meet you on the playground at 4pm sharp.

Bert looks rather distinguished with the visor. It's like how many people can look that much more sophisticated if they wear glasses, so it goes with the Beast! I fully expect to see him wearing a robe and puffing on a pipe with some great literature in his hands soon.

It's the Mick. Don't try to understand it.

The more fearsome fact in this is: the longer he waits, the bigger the pounce. He is building kinetic energy in that strong body of his, and WOE to he who receives a gift such as that! As Mick'd say: "It's like he kept squeezin' that tomato can that sat on the counter all the night through, then he finally got sick of holding back and threw it against the wall. And boy'd it splatter all over the place then! Wouldn't want to be the one waking up to that in the morning! Ha, ha, ha!"

As of 4am, we are officially thirty-three hours away from Stage II of Operation "Candle in the Wind" Spread out, crew.

We'll always have the L train. I'm afraid we won't see a game like that for a long time, years even... but I continue to watch the horizon of late starting games between teams. It's become like a fetish: to have a sextupled OT (that's six, fyi!) isn't enough, it must take place long into the night as well. 4/15 | Canucks Stars | 9:30 PM ET 4/16 | Predators Sharks | 10:00 PM ET 4/18 | Predators Sharks | 10:00 PM ET 4/19 | Wild Ducks | 10:30 PM ET

Nah, they aren't saying that at all. That article was just fine. Like, here: "A two-goal lead, they're good enough to sit on it and open up holes in you." ^-- They aren't implying laziness: they're saying "Detroit's good enough to hold their lead and exploit some of our weaknesses." And the next sentence the guy wrote was "Gargantuan holes." Take a look at the whole article again, it really doesn't speak anything ill about the guys.

If that happened... I'd ask Offsides for a Lillypad signature, instantly. There'd be no doubt that Lils would become the MVP of the first round. I'm not sure how he'd come out of an Iggy fight though.

Yeah, that's why my tune's changing about seeing Nash advance to round two. f*** you guys running around playing this kind of game, I mean, really now. And considering this subject... I mean that in the nicest way possible. The only thing that lightens it up, Marcus, is Floppa. to the Preds! Kill them, Maximus!

I know. Two hours of sleep make for a drag of a day. Only bonus? You get to feel your heart beat real hard between the adrenaline and caffeine. Much, much too early, I agree. Nah, just kiddin' yo! I was all at everyone near the end.

A wise decision, grasshopper. I just can't believe that the game went from 10p, to 12:30a, and then all the way on through the night like that. I mean.. that's a lot of watching hockey!

Same here, HC! The only guy I'd care to watch is mister Selanne doing his magic there. And I have no idea who is even on "the Wild". =p The Canucks and Stars have got to be the awesomest so far, riding the virtue of their 2 1/3 game long opener. Aside from our good start with Calgary.

iPods disconnect you from reality, man. Why aren't the Wings playing tonight? I think I'm going out for the night

HoH accused of drunkery and myself of loading up on E, this is an injustice. Remember guys, guilt by association is not valid, and just because Robert Lang dips his hand in doesn't mean either of us do. And ecstasy couldn't have made Z and I's battle plans any better. I would not trade that dream for a KitKat bar, ever. YOU ARE JUST JEALOUS

'cos if you are, hook a lady up yo! Her post was in one of the other threads, but I figure it might be buried by y'all. If you do, Bert will leap off the ice and wrap you up in a Killer Bear Hug! Whether or not you're in row 3 or only reachable through your living room.

IT'S THE PLAYOFFS, SON Help a sista' out!

The Ducks and Wild will act like a magnet to you. We will repeat our glory night of yesteryear! 5OT! 5OT! "It's the hooooooooooook...." "...that brings you baaaaaaack..."

So Iggy, about you getting your balls in a clamp over Hank's "TREMENDOUSLY HARD" hit on you... Or guy's-name-I-didn't-get-'cos-you-suck who put your knees into Cleary's back at the end... Or anyone else I didn't mention who's askin' for retribution.... Bert has your name. He has your number. He has the names of your children. He is coming.

It's funny, I was watching some recaps they had on a late night Versus (in-between watching Enough and Young Guns on a couple stations ) and the guy was talking about the Kipper hit -- you know, "That's a big no-no in the game. You don't want to do that." Thaaaaaank yooooooouuuuuu Einstein! Also, major props for not seeing incidental contact and intentional contact. You'll be soaring out of Versus to a dreamjob V. SOON. =p Hank was playing like it was nobody's motherf***in' business though. It's actually smart he came out physical--I want some more. Apparently Jiggy couldn't handle a little bump without complaining about his nails though

Man, I dreamt last night that me and Z had a great heart to heart, and figured out the way to the Stanley cup down at JLA. We were the coolest dudes who ever bespoke of Stanley tactics. We were the Princes of the Universe!

Say nothing of the sort. CBC featured hats in Vancouver proclaiming "GIT'R'DONE" last night along the same lines AND WE KNOW HOW THAT WENT

What a beast of a game that was. It's got me wired still from hardly sleeping last night. It won't be happening tonight (not like that 4am-approaching monster!), but Game 3 in Calgary? It will, if HoH has anything to do with it. He still wants to get to sixth base after last night's "early" 4rd OT exit.

Remember that next time I pull you off the couch, Miss Thang! Or should I say, Miss Lang? Heeeeyyyyyy, I'm thinking JET'S + CRAZYBREAD tonight! It's ok to do it two nights in a row. I said so.
