BigTeddyPaul Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Don't know about the rest of you but I slept three hours last night. I could not sleep for the life of me and now I am paying for it. I am off to take a two hour nap and then watch the Wild win 4-3. Hehehe. I will make God and you Avs fans a deal. If the Avs win the Blues have to win. Only way I accept a Wild loss. Three game sevens and like 7 OT games! What a great playoff year. Ohh and the Wings lost in 4. Hahahahah! EDIT: Life as a Blues fan: The Blues lost 447 man games to injury in the regular season, second only to Los Angeles, and still ran off 99 points. Job, the Biblical victim, has nothing on Joel Quenneville. The Blues coach has weathered every affliction but a plague of locusts. This season, due to injuries and ineffectiveness, the Blues tied an NHL record by using seven goalies. A week before camp, starting goalie Brent Johnson went down with a high ankle strain suffered during a shinny session. He missed the first 27 games, plus another five later with a groin strain, and was mostly ineffective when healthy. With Johnson out early, the Blues won four straight games with an NHL-record four different goalies -- three of them rookies. One of them was Reinhard Divis, the best goalie in all of Austria. He promptly pulled a muscle, missed half the season and was about to be recalled from the minors when he was shelved again ... by a spider bite. Scoring leader Pavol Demitra missed four games with the chicken pox. Center Doug Weight, who missed two games after taking a shot off an ankle at the All-Star Game, missed 10 games after a rival goalie cleared the puck off his face near the net. A bout of food poisoning sidelined five players, weakened up to 10 others and left only 18 players on skates for a December loss in New Jersey. Power forward Keith Tkachuk missed 26 games from injury and suspension, and still scored 31 goals. If he played 82 games he would be projected to have 48 goals!!! Defenseman Jeff Finley was suspended four games for reaching out of the penalty box to stop Derian Hatcher from pounding Demitra, a pacifist, during a melee with Dallas. All-Star defenseman Chris Pronger, the incumbent captain, missed the first 77 games after radical knee and wrist surgeries. Bruising winger Jamal Mayers has been out since November after knee surgery. Winger Martin Rucinsky missed a dozen games with a bum shoulder. Rookie center Petr Cajanek missed two dozen games with a broken leg, got back in gear, missed three weeks with a head injury and just returned during Game 6. Center Steve Dubinsky, who was emerging as the team's best faceoff man, has been out for three months with a concussion. Coincidentally or not, the Canucks are beating the Blues to the draw, 58 percent to 42 percent, the best and worst faceoff rankings in the first round. Decently good article. Lets Go Blues!

BigTeddyPaul Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Not necessarily the Canucks to blow it in the third as opposed to the Blues coming alive in the 3rd. If you look at their record most of the goals are in the 3rd. We wake up as the game goes along but this game is making me depressed right now. A whole season based on one game which turned into three. BigTeddyPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy867 Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Karry Frasier is the one killing the Avalanche in the game... 2 of the 3 Power Plays since the 2nd period have led to Wild goals... But I still have faith that an Avalanche will get the game-winner to pit the Avalanche against the Canucks, unless the Blues get their act together. I still want to argue the Wild goal back in the 2nd period.. the Wild offense guy had a skate in the crease before the puck entered the crease, and I believe Tony Granto should have argued the call, in which case the Avs would have won, but like I said, KARRY *%*%#( Frasier killed the Avs. (pulls out shotgun, races to Denver colorado and pops Frasier in the heart for killing the avs race for the cup.

Andy867 Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 I already called the National Referee's Association and filed a formal complain that Karry Frasier made terrible calls, and didn't call the in the crease, which the representative said that they already heard about which means other Avs fans have called in, and that Karry's actions are being under review due to the high volume of complaints, so. Hopefully the a$%*hole won't be back next year to kill the avs again.. Maybe he will get in a car accident(what's the number for that Voodoo caster person in Tijuana?)

Andy867 Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Ok, so maybe the call to the National Referee's Association was a bit over the edge and hasty, but if it would prevent Karry Frasier from Reffing again, then I am up for any option...

KaBuTaR Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Perhaps, but it's understandable all the same. So who are you rooting for now that the Avs are out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy867 Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 For vancouver to knock out minnesota in 4 games, all shut-outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaBuTaR Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 I second that :D:D but for different reasons, obviously... The only reason I'm happy Minnesota won was b/c the Canucks won. Otherwise, I'm sad the avs are out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTeddyPaul Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 I piss on the Canucks! They go down in 6. Goalies rule! We FINNALLY GET HEALTHY AND WE GET THE FLU!!! We dominated all of 5 minutes yesterday and then nothing. Another year down the crapper. I am actually rooting for an eastern team. I have always liked the TB Lightning. Probably won't win but either them or Philley. I love an American who wins. Go Roenick. I am still wallowig (sp?) in self-hatred/everytihng else that is bad and might not be in a good mood for a few weeks so I spologize for everything in advance.

ET Warrior Posted April 24, 2003 Author Share Posted April 24, 2003 I'm with you Paul, the avs were TOTALLY dominating the ENTIRE game, but we had 2 bad penalty kills which led to those 2 goals to tie, and then in OT we made one bad defensive play at the blue line, and they scored.......SUCK!!!!!

KaBuTaR Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 well i have to say... it was a rather random goal... it didn't look like the type of goal u'd expect to go in... sucks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted April 24, 2003 Author Share Posted April 24, 2003 It was actually a pretty nice move by the Wild player who scored it.....I don't know many goalies who would've gotten that one.....arrrrrrrrrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaBuTaR Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 It was a nice move, but you wouldn't have expected it... it looked kinda choppy from what I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
