Habs won 5-3 today
for those who were unaware…
Also, I feel it’s noteworthy to point out that the Capitals and Senators are 2 games away each, from a matchup where there could be a winner of 15 straight games (WSH) and a winner of 13 straight games (OTT) playing each other. Caps have the Pens and Habs to play; Sens play the Leafs and Flames.
It’s very possible.
And in the southeast
WHoever wins, we all lose: Florida and the Thrashers set to square off.
9:12. Lights out. Raw Charge.
Panthers loom more relevant
go Thrashers.

Hours
But the point is still solid. She’s getting power back now but there are surges going on
9:12. Lights out. Raw Charge.
So as I pointed out the other night
the last two encounters between these two teams have produced a 9-6 Flames victory, and an 8-6 Bolts victory.
I would anticipate a high scoring game, just as a preparation thing.
Don't know if I am too omfy with a shootout like that
Flames are desperate for an offensive burst.
9:12. Lights out. Raw Charge.
so are we...

for the “before game party” tomorrow at work. 7 layer chip dip and a football shaped cheeseball. Complete with wheat thins, ritz crackers and 2 bags of tostito chips. I am ready for a party… Weird, because I could really care less who wins the damn game tomorrow night…

He was reportedly at the game against the Isles..

He WAS at that game
Maybe he will be there tonight. Don’t wonder much though…
9:12. Lights out. Raw Charge.
I don’t have the game on, and I’m on my netbook so my desktop isn’t subjected to the power surges, but I thought I’d say hi.

Seriously – it’s been six years. Yeah, it was a great accomplishment, but there are only two guys left from that team still playing in Tampa. Move on.

Singing "O Canda" is SO much easier than the "Star Spangled Banner"...
You don’t hafta be an opera singer to sing the Canadian anthem…
I have come to a conclusion... Martin St Louis = waterbug on meth...
I love “O Canada”. It’s such a nice song. And hard to butcher when singing it. So unlike our anthem. But that’s what happens when you take a poem and put it to the tune of an English drinking song, I guess.

I can't carry a tune in a paper sack, but I can manage O Canada without too much trouble.
I’ll sing it at any game I go to that they play it. (and get strange looks from folks around me a lot of the time…)

It seems weird when it’s not sung to me. But then, I watched hockey in Vancouver for years and years. Seems like both anthems should always be sung no matter what.

When it’s sung right, it does for me, too. But when it’s sung badly, then it just makes me cringe.

Not a problem.
I have heard a few Southerners butcher the anthem too. My “cringe factor” is when somebody tries to put their own “spin” on it. Just sing the damn song like it was supposed to be and stop trying to turn it into a top 10 hit.

I'm not against new arrangements
A fresh take on a traditional british bar song (which is the basis for the Anthem) isn’t something to get riled up over. Embellishing the hell out of the song, however, is.
9:12. Lights out. Raw Charge.
And that embellishment is the "cringe factor".
It can be tastefully done and I have no problem with it.

CBC just answered the question on who's left from that 2004 series...
also Cory Sarich (who was with Tampa then) and Craig Conroy are the only other ones that were with the teams back then.
I have come to a conclusion... Martin St Louis = waterbug on meth...
Sarich is a trick part fo that question
Because he switched teams. Worth being part of the answer though

After one, the Lightning are down 1-0.
They’re being out-shot 11-5; five different players have a SOG each. They’re also doing well in the circle, having won 54% of the faceoffs; Lecavalier is 5-3 (63%). And the Lightning are out-hitting Calgary, tho, 7-4; seven different players have a hit each. Three players have a giveaway, Hedman has the lone steal, and Lundin has blocked four (four?!) shots already.

They’re now being out-shot 20-10; Malone has two shots. The Lightning are still dominating faceoffs, winning 59%; Lecavalier is 7-3 (70%). They’re out-hitting the Flames 18-9; Ohlund has four hits.

So, to those Lightning players who happen to peruse this game thread, I have one thought for you:
Don’t wait for the top guys to put you over the top, don’t wait for Niittymaki to bail you out – take control of this game and win it. Because it’s totally winnable, but only if you take control. You can’t slack off, you can’t cruise on by. Buckle down, pull down your helmet, make sure your fighting straps tied down, and run them over. Carry the rest of the team on your back and give it your best shot.
That is all.

real question
just curious – why is nashville in the western conference?
"they’re big. they’ve got big man bodies." lovingthelightning.wordpress.com
The stupidity of NHL alignment...
They set a precedent of putting east teams in the west long ago and they don’t really give a damn about having a true alignment that makes sense.
9:12. Lights out. Raw Charge.
…Since it’s only a four-hour drive between Nashville and Atlanta, you mean? (Which I know because I’ve done that drive.) Because they want the conferences to be spit evenly down the middle: 15 for each conference, five for each of the three divisions per conference. There aren’t a lot of options otherwise.

The "East/West" divide causes that complication
Detroit is not in the west, neither is Columbus. Heck, Dallas is not a western city but becasue the west is not filled with teams, it has to be placed there. That one I can get.
The others I can’t.
The alignment is stupid — the eastern conference and western conference. That regional alignment complicates things.
9:12. Lights out. Raw Charge.
I did a post on this during the off season...
…With a made up alignment that was not popular because I said to hell with the traditional alignment and rivalries:
http://www.rawcharge.com/2009/8/18/992723/east-vs-west-is-not-the-best-nhl
9:12. Lights out. Raw Charge.
My idea is three conferences of ten teams each (West, Central, East), and then each conference has two divisions.

Came late – leaving early.
Thanks for the commentary and the game. May not have been exciting, but a win’s a win I guess.
You all have a great evening.
Have a good rest of the day, Jon! Thanks for stopping by. :o)

Game Atlanta
Not that I am seeing it. Florida won’t match that.
OK, good for us that Florida did not keep pace, bad for us that someone had to win.

Y'know what? This worrying about what other teams are doing and where the standings are this late in the season is fun!

I'm turning out the lights
Bolts persevere a snoozer at Times Palace. Were they bright and shiny? No… But they outlasted the Flames and won in OT — 2-1 the final. Steven “Birthay Boy” Stamkos notched #32 on the season.
Next game is Tuesday versus Vancouver. See you then!
9:12. Lights out. Raw Charge.
