PrintPhiladelphia Flyers (12-5-1) at San Jose Sharks (14-5-4), Friday 7:00 PST
San Jose Sharks (Hopefully 15-5-4) at Anaheim Ducks (7-10-3), Saturday 7:00 PST
(Note 1: A double-gameday post for this weekend, since I'll be running all over the Bay Area today and tomorrow.)
(Note 2: If you've never seen Army of Darkness, you won't understand anything here.)
"KLATU...VERATA...NICK (*cough* *cough* *cough*)"
Um, I think someone said the words wrong when they picked up the Necronomicon because this isn't the way stuff's supposed to be. Chris Pronger on the Flyers? The Ducks in last place? Mellow OC folks beating the shit out of each other for Scott Niedermayer's stick? Man, what the hell is happening?
Fortunately, we've still got Patrick Marleau around to say, "THIS...is my BOOM STICK!" Ok, actually, Patty wouldn't say that. He'd just kind of smile and shrug, and his unibrow would bob up and down a few times.
But I bet Todd McLellan would say, "Listen up, you primitive screwheads" when he's trying to get his team to play smart defensive hockey. Cause the goal is to prevent defensive breakdowns like...oh crap, that's how they lost in overtime against Chicago. Come to think of ii, perhaps he better use some harsher words besides "primitive screwheads." Heard at today's morning skate: "Well, hello Mister Fancypants. Well, I've got news for you pal, you ain't leadin' but two things, right now: Jack and shit... and Jack left town."
Actually, he was saying that to Marleau, Joe Thornton, and Dany Heatley, who played together as a line at the tail end of the game against Nashville. Oh wait, you didn't see that? Well damn, I missed that game too. You'd think with Center Ice these days, you'd be able to see every game on the planet but I guess there are still those rare instances when neither team broadcasts a game. It'd sure be nice if teams coordinated somehow so we were able to get at least one feed of each game. Next time, we'll make sure to tell them to shop smart...shop S-MART...YOU GOT THAT?
Now...WHO'S WITH ME?!?!?
The Flyer I'd Like On My Team: Chris Pronger as a social experiment. I'd love to see what the crazy drunk lady who sits behind me does when she realizes she couldn't boo Pronger anymore.
The Duck I'd Like On My Team: Scott Niedermayer, because the dude can incite post-game riots with the mere flick of a wrist. Next time, before he tosses his stick into the crowd, Niedermayer should call for the sword boy.
Prediction: Sharks 4, Flyers 2. Goals by Boyle, Boyle, Boyle, and Boyle.
Prediction: Sharks 4, Ducks 1. Goals by Boyle, Boyle, Boyle, and Boyle.
What? Eight goals by Dan Boyle? Are all ex-defensemen from Tampa Bay loud-mouthed braggarts?
Nope. Just Boyle, baby. Just Boyle.

You can kind of tell who is funny by asking them who their favorite character in Anchorman is:
Brick Tamland- Average person, probably funny sometimes but then they’ll mention they like 2 1/2 Men
Ron Burgundy- Probably not funny, thinks being an asshole is funny in and of itself
Brian Fantana- A hilarious person that gets comedy
Champ Kind- David Koechner’s mother
The West Coast is the Best Coast.
SHARKS!!!!!!!
and I have to say, the traffic at 2:30pm down in LA area sucks majorly!! man I was doing fine until then. (groans)
Ever get the feeling we are on a collision course with reality? (boycott Hollywood!)

Yeah, 2:30 pm is actually pretty good — wait three hours then try that drive.

The moment I realized I couldn’t live in SoCal was when I was driving back from a KROQ Inland Invasion concert at 2 AM back to my hotel in LA and the freeway was at a dead stop. I don’t know how you guys deal with it and not wind up just getting out of your car screaming.
Well, I’m out of L.A. now mostly, but I cheated — I have a carpool sticker on my Prius. Still not immune, though — L.A. traffic can be outrageous.

so my niece came to pick me up after 4 … took her a while to get here even tho she’s only like 20 minutes away cause of the traffic … and when we went to her place, took forever!!!! (this was at 6) cause of the traffic … Bay Area traffic during commute is a breeze compared to this … ugh!
makes me wonder what it’s like on a weekend and if we should head over to the Honda Center area early just to make sure we get there

Drive should be OK on a Saturday, but the traffic monster can rear his ugly head at any time. Where are you coming from today?

well not sure if we will be coming from my hotel at Ontario Mills area … or her place in Chino area … one of those two places

Hmm, leave a little early, I guess — if you get there too early, you could always come to Danny K’s.

yeah … could always check out what’s around the area … :)

Holy shit, Puck Daddy is reporting that the guy arrested during Niedermayer Stick-Gate was Mike Vallely, skateboarder and pugilist extraordinaire. That’s awesome.
The West Coast is the Best Coast.
Yeah, and the sissy Ducks cut ties with the guy immediately. I’m telling you, there’s a way to solidly promote that guy and turn this into a win-win.
