Time passes. That's for sure. It seems like only yesterday (but in reality, 1978) when a friend down the street loaned me a record from some British band I had never heard of. Funny name, The Jam.
I've been with Paul Weller ever since. And, it turns out, even when you are the new mod leader, time doesn't stand still for you. Though, for Weller, it doesn't seem to matter. He just damn looks good, no matter what age. Proof?

Go Canucks.
Coconuts? GO!
Ha! Don't bother Jourdan...
ReplyDelete5 - 1 in the third. I've just about had it with this Jeckyl & Hyde team.
Coconuts is about right.
I guess they'll have to do it in the next game, damn! :-(
ReplyDeleteYeah, but even Don Cherry mentioned (not overtly) how full of (*&%&^%&* the officiating was. It's almost like the Bruins have a Double-0 license when they play at home. They can do almost anything they want and get away with it.
ReplyDeleteNHL teams take the game seriously. NHL fans take the game seriously. The NHL itself treats it like Big TIme Wrestling.

ReplyDeleteAnd now there is speculation that Mason Raymond's back is broken.
Broken. On a play in which a penalty wasn't even called.
This is, by far, the worst finals I have even seen. It's terrible. It's got me thinking that there may be something to the "Bettman has the fix in" line of thought.
The Canucks are getting their asses kicked. Bad. Check out You Tube and you'll see videos of Daniel Sedin getting cross-checked, hard, 10 times. TEN FREAKING TIMES.
While a bored looking referee looks on.
Last game, Sedin gets slashed by Lurch. Once, twice, Sedin goes down.
And gets called for Diving.
These damn Canucks better play their hearts out on Weds. They and they alone can win it.
I swear to the hockey gods on high that this series is a disgrace. The media is a disgrace, the refs are a disgrace.
And Boston?
While Raymond was on the ice, the hate-filled media manipulation has their fans in such a frenzy that they were chanting "flop-er!, Flop-er!"
While he is lying there with a broken back.
I'm disgusted. Freaking disgusted.
There was no problem with the Raymond hit. The guy who did it had the right uniform on.
ReplyDeleteDoes Bettmen really expect the NHL to keep any kind of credibility with this crap going on? A Canuck gives a Bruin a concussion and the Canuck gets the longest suspension in Stanley Cup history -- after the league official talks to, among other people the GM of the Toronto Maple Leafs who was fired in 2004 by the, oh yes, Vancouver Canucks and whose current team was fined two years ago for tampering with -- now who was it now? -- oh yes, the Vancouver Canucks. I'm sure he also talked to the CEO of the NHL who is the owner of what team? Oh, yes -- the Boston Bruins. And they also looked at the medical records of the Bruin player. Did they look at Raymond's medical records? No. And never mind that they Canuck who was suspended had his head rammed into a stanchion during the San Jose series resulting in a concussion and the guy who did it did not get suspended.
And the league expects us to believe that Raymond "lost his edge." In other words, he lost his balance. I wonder how many NHL players have broken their backs after losing their edge? The fact that the Bruin hit in and rammed him into the boards when the puck was lonnnngggg gone -- had nothing to do with the injury.
