Good afternoon, gentlemen, ladies, muppets, etc

I won’t be around much for this. I have things to do. That being said – there is no probation period (again) for this opent hread. All lurkers are invited to post, all newbie members can post immediately.

It’s weird seeing Stamkos in red.
I dislike it.

Has the game started yet?

I’m unable to watch it, I’m at work until 5pm and it’ll take me an hr or more to get home.

Not that I’m too concerned, I don’t have a lot of interest in the game, especially since the Bolts only have 1 rep there. I’m more upset I didn’t get to watch the skills competition last night….

Yeah. We’re go. Pregame was painful. Stamkos and Tavares keep getting on the ice at the same time, which is confusing. It’s 2-0 Team Chara right now.

Hey, everyone. Not watching the game cuz I have zero interest in hockey today. I can’t even work up the interest in writing about my trip to Norfolk last night. :o\

hard to be a lurker when there are few people posting. I only have the livescore but is team Alfie playing the numbers game?

Line: 19 91 9

Folled by line: 33 11 22

by Sidicus on Jan 29, 2012 5:30 PM EST reply actions  

I don’t know but for a while there they kept putting both 91s on the ice at the same time.

Also, apparently there are actual children involved in drawing up lines.

So picking lines is like picking lottery numbers? (Now that would be a new way to hit the jackpot).

Why not? As lucky as anything else, I guess.

As an aside, what is this ‘probation period’ John mentions? I know I have been living with my head in a box for a few years now, but didn’t know about that.

When you join an SBNation blog to make comments for the first time

you have to wait a few days before you can post. Like a cooling-off period, I guess. Some sites have them and others don’t. And some are longer than others.

Sorry, I've gotten distracted.

Alfredsson has scored twice now to tie and then take the lead in front of his home crowd. Pretty cool.
