glad I don't have to write sports headlines, #2 in...
well, “Wings shred Jackets” (Columbus getting defeated at home in a humiliating 9-1 game) isn’t so bad, except it prompts me into dumb questions like “if they’d lost 2-1, would it just be ‘Wings Slightly Damage Jackets with Inadequate Dry-Cleaning’?” also, is “down” and “Ducks” a pun, or am I just really coat-fixated right...

glad I don't have to write sports headlines, #1 in...
I’m sure I’ll have many more examples this season (plus a link to a funny piece about headlines, when I figure out proper linkage here—I try and try…). this was Zdeno Chara’s (I guess non-hockey fans would know him as the big naked guy in the ESPN “Body Issue”) first goal of the season, 11/7/09. B’s hadn’t had a win, or a fight, in a few...

at least they didn't say Gary Wolves...
here’s an item from the Chicago Wolves (Atlanta Thrashers AHL affiliate) website. I’ve been to a few of their games this year and keep meaning to post photos or something. as of now they’re last in the Western Conference.
“When fellow passengers witness 23 or so, mostly young athletic men, board a flight there is sure to be some curiosity. Here is how things typically went...

the captain is back!
Toews (and Eager) will play the Kings tonight, and I’m off to the United Center now. was all set to buy the cheapest single-seat I could find ($24) when in the few seconds I searched for my account password, a $17 one came up. nice. someone’s going to splurge on sweet potato fries tonight.

can I really build an entire blog around random...
feeling a bit queasy from the cheesecake in the previous post, here’s something else…I don’t know quite what this is, but it’s from a 11/7 game:
another example of jerseys/sweaters of defunct hockey teams, these fans were spotted at the 11/8 Avalanche @ Oilers game:

it'll be Hockey Night in Canada on a computer in...
it’s a beautiful day in Chicago, and I will go out, but then I’ll be back for HNIC. long story, but I’d never seen it until last month. and once you get used to watching live feeds of Canadian TV on the internet, you’ll NEVER WANT TO WATCH ANYTHING ELSE. or maybe that’s just me.
I mean, I’ve been to Tim Horton’s (in Buffalo and Providence), but never...

I hate shootouts.
I hate agonizingly long shootouts that the Blackhawks win against the Avalanche and I hate agonizingly long shootouts they lose, like tonight. I watched the Leafs win!!! and kept reading their very active SB Nation blog thread without ever delurking. I made extremely minor contributions to the Hawks blog thread, and checked in on the Avs one. then I saw one of the Leafs bloggers pop into the Avs...

while I wait for the Hawks-Avs game to start...
I’m watching the Maple Leafs (1-7-5) play the Hurricanes (lost their last 10 games), somewhat amazed to think that technically one of these teams will win this game. (p.s. I hope it’s the Leafs)
I’m also following along on the Leafs’ extremely active SB Nation blog. when the Hawks game starts in a while, I’ll be simultaneously watching two games online, listening to...

first hockey road trip
for 2009 was Tuesday, so I missed a day (or two) posting here. I didn’t actually have being somewhat loopy on Molson and waiting around at the Detroit Greyhound station at midnight while reading a book about hockey fighting on my life list, but—it’s checked off now! oh, and the Red Wings won, dammit. so did the Yankees, dammit.

“consumers” as distinct from “ladies”? I understand ladies’ wear is a separate category on many sites, but aren’t they “consumers”? odd. screenshot from a site I probably found through a blog ad.

Blackhawks-Canadiens game recap
we started off pretty good against the fucking Habs but those goddamn dirty Canadiens had to tie it right at the end of the second period but then we scored with 4 minutes left and oh those fucking dirty Habs fans were crushed when we won
uh, I got into hockey via a Bruins fan, it might affect the way I discuss certain teams. anyway, this was a satisfying Original Six match, and I’d like to...

but mostly I’m just cracking up. warning: adult language and juvenile insults ahead.
so, THIS was a really good idea:
that’s the censored version, you should have seen it 5 minutes after it was posted. let’s check in later in the thread:
none of these comments are mine, btw, and I certainly don’t endorse some of them, but I give a “I like this” to the...

great moments in Canadian journalism
so I got home from the Blackhawks vs. Wild game Monday night and immediately found the Maple Leafs-Ducks game online. I’m not a Leafs fans but there are Leafs blogs I really like and they were getting really depressing, so I’m glad the team finally got a win, 8 games into the season. (there go the Detroit Lions jokes I was working on…) I quickly Googled “Toronto news”...

somewhat disturbing reCAPTCHA combinations found...
the first I ever took a screenshot of is above…quite appropriate because on Oct. 30 the Montreal Canadiens (i.e. the Habs, but you surely knew that already, unless you’re here because I foolishly said “oh, you don’t have to know hockey to enjoy this blog!”) are playing the Blackhawks, and I’m going.
and I’ll throw the second one in as a little tribute...
