Ducks Gameday -- Sing me a song of Christmas

Anaheim Ducks (15-14-7, t-11th in west) at Phoenix Coyotes (22-13-2, 6th in west), 6 pm
Anaheim Calling and Five For Howling for some actual hockey talk.
No time for anything terribly relevant today, as I've been over at my folks' place for the holidays, which has less computers than siblings. Still, quite the miraculous ending to last night's game, and in the spirit of Christmas miracles and hasty posts, I've included two of my favorite Sleek-choir Christmas pieces after the jump. Enjoy, and Happy Holidays, BoC!
(Rudy, Chen, and commenters: sorry for again gaying up the blog.)
First, a somewhat traditional version of Silent Night, though I really enjoy this arrangement. First verse is choir and congregation in unison, second verse is congregation plus choir in parts, third verse is choir only with men taking the harmonies, and fourth verse the congregation comes back in and the women take the harmonies. Solid.
Next, an interpretation of O Holy Night, which is less traditional. Basically, this composer took one of the gaudiest Christmas carols around and made it even more overdramatic, but I like the effect.
Prediction: I won't be around for comments tonight (play nice!), but miraculously, the entire game is televised.
I'll be back to sacrilege and cynicism after Christmas. In the meantime, Go Ducks.

(O Holy Night is awesome.)
That one we did last year, and it was kind of funny hearing the polarized responses. A lot of people really loved it, and I heard plenty of “best version evah”, but then there was also some folks who thought it was unnecessarily over-the-top.
But the more I hear it, the more I like it. Nothing like a hundred-voice choir going all out for a big finish.

From the Turco Interview
Which player would you most like to deliver a good, hard hit on?
Probably Corey Perry because he’s fresh in my mind. We’ve had some good battles. He plays the game the right way. To lay him out and stare down at him — that would be worth it. He plays the game the right way but he’s still a little douchebag.
Apparently he reads your posts, Rudy. That made my day.

Probably not the intended reaction, but this quote makes me proud of Perry. He may be a douchebag, but he’s our douchebag. And, apparently, he plays the game the right way?

If goalies are picking his name out of thin air, then he’s definitely bothering them and thus doing his job. I’m proud of him too.

There’s definetly a gay joke in there some where.

With the above statement in mind: LOL!
A lot of Ducks fans will be the first to admit that Corey Perry is a douchebag, but like grace said, he’s our douchebag.

RC can be stubborn sometimes, but yeah, I have to think last night was his own lesson in chemistry. I wonder who plays in net tonight, though? Did Hiller even get much of a workout last night?

…..will the Kings ever play again?
Of course, we couldn’t watch half of last night’s game. Sadly, the half that I did watch was the 4 goals in 8 minutes. Crap.
I don’t know who I want to win anymore. Everybody’s catching up to us, and we can’t do shit. Fuck the schedule.
Go Kings! And… Ducks I guess? Maybe the Coyotes? I DON’T HAVE A FUCKING CLUE!!!
Fuck you, Denis Gauthier. You suck at hockey... and life.
Get out of LA and never come back. Or sign with Anaheim... PLEASE??

Fuck the schedule.
No shit — especially since everything is supposed to be Olympics-crammed, and now it figures to be a bit worse down the stretch for the idle Kings.
I guess the only bright side is that a couple of the limping Kings will have full opportunity to return to the lineup, but it’s not as if the Kings weren’t winning without ’em.

Am I the only one disturbed by the fact that “The Fabulous Forum” covers teams that never played at the Forum, let alone teams that have never played IN the Forum?

Wow, I disappear from the blogosphere for the holiday week and BoC goes all choir on us. Sleek, I think you need to redeem yourself with some State Rape cartoons.

Well that’s not gonna happen. The Kings screwed up the Calgary and Nashville series, and I’m pretty sure the Ducks and Sharks screwed one up also.
Goddamnit Sleek, you’re totally gaying up the blog

Yeah, for sure — Ducks definitely blew the hopes of an Ottawa state rape, though I guess I could have counted the 2007 games that truly mattered against the Sens.
Ducks have probably screwed up more than that, but that’s the one I remember.

Really enjoyed this Sleek. I even woke my mom up at 3:45 in the morning to show her, as she’s a huge Christmas music fan.
O Holy Night was ridiculous.

I didn’t catch this game, but damn 4-0?! Fuck. Video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdSTlprY-X8
This is an early short film I did. It’s kind of weird to me to post one of my own videos as the cheer up video, but I really do think this is funny and it’s gotten laughs before. This was kind of an excuse to test out our new boom mic. We were still figuring it out. Enjoy.

I want to see this one, but it just brings me to a blank YouTube page. :(
I missed the game completely, too — coincided perfectly with family dinner — but yeah, scoreboard says it all.

Since I couldn’t catch the game, after I got home at midnight from work, I decided to turn on the replay. Since I can’t stand Hayward, I turned to the FS Arizona feed…… they were showing the Ducks feed also. WHY?!?! It’s like I can never escape Hayward, no matter how hard I try.
On the other hand, hopefully that means Hazy’s gonna become the Coyotes commentator.
Although surprisingly, I didn’t find him nearly as revolting last night as I usually do.

Not fair to tease like that without an (e1) to help prepare me for it never happening.

The great secret of choral music right there — tough in some respects to get everyone on one tempo, but once it happens, then the onus is off individual singers.

this is why i’m not into choir. I dont know what onus means, and it’s way to damn close to anus. i never want my anus to fall off, i use it to shit.
