Soylent Green is people!

 

The person below me had a blankie when they were a baby.




#2402217 WCQF Game 7 GDT - Red Wings 3 @ Ducks 2 - (DET wins series, 4-3)

Posted by 55fan on 11 May 2013 - 08:11 PM

You're warped, Gord.  I'd hate to see what you'd do with Rocky Horror.

 

Wings must win this one.  (Duh)

 

I want to see EVERY SINGLE WING with at least 10 shots on goal (preferably not the one with Jimmy in the crease) and I want to see EVERY SINGLE WING playing strong defensively.

 

I also want to see Bert bite off Perry's head and spit it out, but since that would be at least a 4 minute penalty, I'd like to see it when we're up by no less than 12 goals, although with the officiating we've been seeing, he might just get away with it.

Delightful. Perry makes a perfect Crumb, and while I usually find Getzlaf quite sexy, that vacant look is totally Fortuna-like.

Gold star for you!

Does it make me a bad ducks fan rooting for the wings to win this game so I get to see a Game 7 that this series deserves?

Hey OP, you're forgetting a huge fact ... ABBY's BACK!

He stated in the OP that the lines would be updated as they become available.

 

This is a huge game for us.  Sometimes the GDT has to come up early so we all have a place to come and get our mojo going, even if the lines aren't finalized.

 

Flashy and Mike have it worked out.  It will be updated asap.  No worries. 

 

Until then, it is most interesting to speculate who will be the one sitting.  (There's a thread, but I'm too lazy to post a link.  I'm sure you can find it.)

 

Huge game.  Good to be rocking.  I'm PUMPED!  Go Wings!

Oh, wow.  That's such a huge photo, I think I'll give it its own post.

He deserves it, I think.




#2400601 Abby in for game 6... Who draws out?

Posted by 55fan on 09 May 2013 - 10:01 AM

Bert and Sammy are starting to warm up, going into a must win at home I wouldn't take either of em out. I'd probably go with Emmerton since there's no way Babs will sit Dano out.

Emmerton wouldn't be a bad choice if you had Abby centering, the bottom line, but if Abby's going back with Pav and Z, who would you have on the bottom line?

 

I have to admit, I hadn't thought of Em.  I thought briefly of Andersson, but really don't want to break up that line since they've been so good.

 

If it's Z-D-Abby on top, and Gus-Andersson-Nyquist on the 3rd, who's on 2nd and 4th?

(And why is this starting to sound like an Abbot and Costello routine?  Or maybe an algebra problem.)

 

Emmerton is certainly an idea that merits consideration.




#2398887 Norris Finalists announced: Letang, Subban, Suter

Posted by 55fan on 07 May 2013 - 02:22 PM

I really can't comment on Subban and Letang because I don't watch much East stuff, but as one living in the Wild area, I watch quite a few Wild games.  If anything Suter should get the "most improved" award.  He's looking good right now, but at the beginning, he wasn't anything to write home about.

 

I have to say that the quality of Norris candidates has dropped without Nick in the lineup.




#2397413 Playing Eaves over Tootoo

Posted by 55fan on 06 May 2013 - 03:08 PM

Given that Bert isn't 100%, and how well Toots, Eaves, and Emmy did together, I'd play Toots over Bert.  Sorry Bert.  No offense intended.

Still waiting for a Kronwalling...

Would you settle for an Abdelkading?




#2397186 Leaving a job.

Posted by 55fan on 05 May 2013 - 11:52 PM

I've been there, done that, and am about to do it again.

 

I've been at my full-time job for almost 15 years, but my arthritis is getting too bad and I can't physically do the job any more.

 

I've left a lot of jobs- either because I hated them, the place closed, I moved, I found something better, etc.- and what I've learned is that the people who are important follow through life outside of work.

 

Some people are just great co-workers, but not anyone you stay in touch with.  There's nothing wrong with that.  You miss them at first, but then they become people that you run into at Walmart and chat for a half an hour, but that's it.

 

Others you never see again, and that's ok too.

 

The good ones become friends.  My best friend started as my co-worker over 20 years ago.  We've lived in different towns, miles apart, but she's still the one I can tell anything, and her son is my Godson and the light of my life.

 

Stay in touch with people, and the relationships will follow their natural path.  Some will blossom; some will die.  It's like graduating- you have probably kept in touch with some people and not others.

 

Nowadays you young folks have your tweeting and facebooking and texting and e-mailing that we didn't have back in the day, so staying in touch is easier.  Use these, and let life take its course.  New people will come in, and others will go, but the true friends will be there forever.  Sometimes it surprises you who these people will be.

 

Good luck.
