So after taking seven to beat a team that lost four starting defencemen, now Carolina plays a team that loses its number one, conn smythe candidate goalie to injury. The day before June 6, 2006.

Draw your own conclusions.

k. yeah. that fucking sucks.
BUT
let's try to stay positive
they can score on Ward when he's not getting lucky.
MARKENIN can win us some games (FUCK CONKLIN seriously)
AND
quite honestly, i think Rollie's streak was coming to a close. a goalie who is on his game will not let in 4 straight, breakaways or not. admittedly Mac-T made some very bad defensive decisions tonight (spacek with Pronger) and that REALLY did not help Rollie. plus Smith put in a surprisingly bad game tonight. i counted at least 3 uncharacteristic turnovers. he'll be better. so will Pronger.

we can still win. they were hungry with 15 secs left. if we start game 2 strong, we're still in it. otherwise, we're fucked. carolina's not THAT good a team. seriously. Buffalo with a shattered defense core STILL almost beat them, us with an uncertain goalie, could still win.

FUCCCCKKK!!!! MAC-T JUST SAID ROLLIE IS OUT FOR THE SERIES!!!!!!

ARGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

shit, that is heartbreaking for Conklin. That has to be the harshest thing to happen to you in that position. I bet you he's going to go back to the hotel, lock the door and cry in his pillow. That's what that kinda shit does to you.

Poor fuckin guy.

To be less of a smartass than Alison:

Pete = peter. haggard @gmail.com
Melissa = melissa. kastelic @gmail.com

Again, just take out those spaces like alison did. I will now eagerly wait beside my inbox pondering what sort of new news may come my way.

Does anyone have Melissa or Pete's email addresses?

And I think I will join you, Paras and all, for the movie, but I have already made game-watching plans. See you there!

Quoting Scotty:
"Does anyone have alison's e-mail address?"

oh! oh! me! I do I do! um, it's uh... wait a minute... oh, how does it start again?? hmm.... let me think... crazybitch@hotfemail.com nope, damn, wrong again. why do I always forget? let's see... alison_ lennie@ yahoo.ca that ought to do it for you Scott. just eliminate all the spaces and you're good to go.

those HUMAN TSN losers never chose Edmonton for winning any round of the Playoffs - do these guys know any SHIT about hockey? kay, San Jose we probably SHOULD have lost- but Anaheim? are you SERIOUS? there is but one medical description to describe those dudes: RETARDED.

Yes.


Hmm... that's three monkeys picking the Oilers. I leave you to draw your own conclusions about how this bears for the outcome of the series, superstitious and anxious Oilers fans. (One might point out, though, that, regardless of the outcome of the final series, Maggie the Macaque has already out-prognosticated the rest of the TSN panel; only Bob McKenzie has a shot of going better than .500, while Maggie's 9-5.)
