Saw this referenced on a sports blog: Biggest Surprises in the playoffs and What will define the 2010 playoffs? http://bleacherreport.com/articles/390171-top-10-stories-that-define-the-2010-stanley-cup-playoffs?utm_source=nhl.com

Ahhhh .. decisions decisions decisions

RIP Jim Henson was pure genius in his ability to bring together important people and messages and deliver them to people of all ages. This video brought back a lot of memories. Incredible performance.

Amazing performer, and an amazing woman. Watched the Muppet Show episode with her hosting just last week with my kids. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/10/arts/music/10horne.html

No kidding! It was awesome. I haven't watched last night's episode yet. I can't wait. First gotta get through work. My favourite show right now (i haven't started Treme or Pacific yet )

It's the playoffs ... never believe anything you read/hear regarding player health. I hope Gill didn't get hurt too bad. That looked like it could have been severly nasty.

Wow ... that three minute song felt like at least nine. Glad there were some visuals to help the ride

LOL ... at one point in the game she was holding up a sign. She's known as "Knitting Lady". Wonder if those are her season seats? Had to look her up. Fun story: http://www.pittsburghmagazine.com/Best-of-the-Burgh-Blogs/Pitt-Girl/April-2010/Five-Questions-forMichelle-The-Knitting-Lady/ I remember by grandmother telling me that she used to knit at The Forum in Montreal ... in the 50s when they had season tix! Oh shit, she saw some mind boggling hockey back then.

nice take:

AD, as soon as you speak in 'general terms' about any reaction by sporting viewers that is a subject of conversation, you MUST preface it by stating that it is NOT about any comments/ideas raised by members in here (that article didn't quote anyone in here so therefore one would be a fucking "retard" for mentioning it). It is automatically received as a direct attack otherwise and you shall be chastised for it. You want to talk conspiracies? The NHL is experiencing the Schwa. Conspiracy right now. He is the reason the Habs are 2-2 in the series!! Gawd, i can't wait to enjoy some :bonghit: and then watch the game tonight. High + retarded + NHL Playoffs = Epic

Don't fret Booche, i'm still here and enjoying the read As the article said, it's nothing new really. The game the other night was brutal. Was it being swung to assist the Pens to win? I don't think so. They were simply BAD refs. Shit like that then dictates the play of the ensuing games. It sucks, but it seems to be a reality. I'm not going to argue about who's the biggest whiner (there are plenty out there and, aside from the last couple of games, i think Cros has really cleaned up his act) in the NHL but I think it sucks when referees don't simply enforce the rule book. Too many unwritten variables as to when an infraction gets penalized and when it slides. Refs should be repremanded/suspended/fined just as the players are when they fuck up. One bright side for the Habs ... they have the series tied 2-2 and that the officiating hasn't caused them to loose the series. That really sucks. I hope that tonight the refs allow the players to know what the limits are in the game right from the start, and stick with that until the final buzzer. btw - i think Maxime Lapierre tends to look to the refs wayyy too often ... and he better stop his frequent "acting" (he does some great things, but that other shit has got to go)

Awesome news for those who got shut out the first time. I wouldn't be surprised if they sellout the second night too. Gonna be a helluva lot of fun.

Hey, what about the 12 states that aren't protecting animals from THIS kind of cruelty: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/07/florida-anti-bestiality-l_n_568042.html This dude could have gotten off (in more ways than one) if he had only lived in Florida: http://www.jambands.ca/sanctuary/showtopic.php?tid/256862/ Florida ... where it's ok for a man and a woman to have sex ... where it's ok for a man and a goat (female or male?) to have sex ... but whoa stop, homosexuals are not allowed to!

I didn't know Grant made it to the NHL. what a handle. http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=78651

From Hipster to Hippie http://www.boingboing.net/From%20Hipster%20To%20Hippie.jpeg

Come on down Al. We'd be happy to see you again! haha ... me too. Just got accepted to the Buffalo, Ottawa, and second Toronto show now I think that they got FLOODED with requests, yet only a smaller portion of those that applied to get access were really intent on going (or didn't understand the rules about picking up tix the day of show). Thus, the first round they sent out links to simply didn't have enough 'serious' buyers for that specific show. I guess they'll simply toss back in any of the presales that are not sold by the end of the weekend into the general on sale pool that is released on Monday. I really don't think that you're going to find any cheap seats the day of for these shows. I remember the first time Roger came around with the DSOTM tour and played the Molson Amp ... there was NOTHING to be had outside the gates the night of the show. Maybe Ottawa will be different?

Haha! Right on Ollie. I'm now going to be sitting in almost the exact same seats. Row 32. My buddy just called and "upgraded" me for all the help i've given him over the years with shows. Next ... i want to win the lottery tonight :D

Shiiiiiiiiit' date=' I guess that means I can brag about the glorious Hab teams from the 70's. Thanks! [/quote'] Fuck that ... go for it Booche. Pull up a wheelchair because I'd love to hear it I may not have seen the early 70s, but the late 70s are my first and fondest memories

What section did you get? Seriously, this is such a huge production that just about anywhere should be good (except side/rear stage). Just gotta wait FOUR MONTHS now for the show. Oh well, summer time come and gone my oh my.
