Tonight just following my fantasy league players...

[Aeryn]

I've got 20 minutes left at work....just killing time.

I'll watch the Sharks game though - my boy Toska should be in net.

[Khan]

right now its 6-0 Nashville...Sullivan with a hat trick already...kariya with 3 assists...

[Aeryn]

Holy ****!!

I left the office 28 (real time) minutes ago and it was 3-0.

[ahtikullervo]

Sullivan had the most natural hat trick possible: 3 goals in a row in one period. Classic stuff! Took him 5 minutes and 56 seconds...

He is member of my squad in AD Rotisserie league!!!

[Marshy]

I am watching Lupul and Sykora lose to the Wild 1-0 in the first. Todd White with the goal.

[Aeryn]

Geez, looking at the boxscore you'd think NSH was only icing like 8 guys...

S. HARTNELL (12) P. KARIYA (22) M. ERAT (21
S. HARTNELL (13) P. KARIYA (23) M. ERAT (22)
A. RADULOV (10) S. WEBER (14) P. KARIYA (24)

S. SULLIVAN (10) J. DUMONT (16) J. ARNOTT (11)
S. SULLIVAN (11) J. DUMONT (17) A. RADULOV (3)

Hartnell - 2
Kariya - 3
Erat - 2
Radulov - 2
Weber - 1
Sullivan - 3
Dumont - 3
Arnott - 2

I am watching Lupul and Sykora lose to the Wild 1-0 in the first. Todd White with the goal.

And how is it we're 40% through the season and division rivals are just meeting for the first time?!

[Aeryn]

Gave the Oilers a 5-on-3 for 1:40....

But the Oilers suck, so it's all good.

Oi vey....Sharks are gonna take this one.

Cloutier injured during warmups, Brust in.

[Aeryn]

Better late than never

[GLOVESAVE35]

Oi vey....Sharks are gonna take this one.

Cloutier injured during warmups, Brust in.

And what is with the funky echo on the TV broadcast?

Heh. If it wasn't bad form, I'd LMAO. Another injury for the Kings - what else is new?

Better late than never

True. Can't help that I'm a slave to my work.

[Aeryn]

They just said something to the effect of...."what does it do to the team when they find out that the guy they THOUGHT was going to be in net, suddenly isn't?"

Aeryn thought...."Are they REALLY that comfortable going out there knowing Cloutier's in net?"

Better late than never

True. Can't help that I'm a slave to my work.

No worries.

Though....is anyone worried that DTP was held in contempt of court or something?!
________________

I suppose I should be happy that Kopitar just scored....from the mathematical standpoint. But I really like Toska.

_______________

OMFG!

Kopitar with a SH goal. They are playing in front of Brust the way we played in front of Wall.

[GLOVESAVE35]

Yeah...it's 2-0 Kings at the Shark Tank.

Cloutier, who needs stinkin' Cloutier?

[Aeryn]

Well, strictly from a mathematical standpoint, GO KINGS!

[Cassie8236]

My boyfriend said I should root for the kings....for your reason...a mathematical standpoint...but it leaves in icky taste in my mouth that not even cough syrup can get rid of.

[Aeryn]

So......the guppies shall be a bit cranky come Saturday.

Cammy makes it 3-0

[DropThePuck]

Though....is anyone worried that DTP was held in contempt of court or something?!

Hey now ... what sort of civic-minded U.S. citizen do you think I am??

The trial ended, and we reached a verdict. I'm free! I'm free at last! Well, for at least 12 months anyway. I was so glad to be out of there, I didn't grump at the OC Animal Services when I found out they screwed up so now I have to pay late fees.


Anywhoo ... here's a laugh:

Cammy makes it 3-0

...from his knees...


Hopefully, the Ducks will overcome guppy crankiness.


Sharks goal waived off - high stick.

[Aeryn]

Cammy, from the knees? That's like, what, 3 feet tall?

Bummer I missed seeing it (just heard it)...Cammy is one of the least offensive Kings for me.

_____________

EDM with two goals in 14 seconds and a 3-1 win over MIN

Wow, I watched the first and part of the second...MIN was in control, EDM must have gotten REALLY pissed off in the third.

Wanted MIN to win (lesser of two evils) but they were tied in points so math goes out the window here.

They set up Vokoun's gear, even though he ain't there?
