I may have to play it back and make sure, but I heard it... I think... better play it back... a few times... to make sure. GO LITTLE BIRDS THAT DON'T FLY! |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey: Stanley Cup 2009 (08-09 Season) From: wysiwyg Date: 13 May 09 - 08:05 PM Bobert, as God is my witness, please don't jinx my Pens by bad-mouthing your Caps. :~) These first two goals for instance are a SURE sign we will ultimately lose by pissing it away with a letdown of focus. I mean 3 goals.... ~S~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey: Stanley Cup 2009 (08-09 Season) From: Bobert Date: 13 May 09 - 09:03 PM WYSuzie, Ain't no jinx on yer beloved Penguins, who BTW had beaten the Caps every playoff series, except 1 (that's one) going back to the days of Columbus and the flat earth... I'm not watching the game 'cause it's a Washington, D.C> sports team in a playoff... That means that 99.99999% of the time the Washington sports team looses... Talk about a jinx... Try growin' up around here!!! Watch baseball steal not one, but 2, of yer teams... Watch 30 years of crappy basketball teams... 20 years and counting of crappy football teams... The only good news is that we went 30 years without a crappy baseball team 'cuase we didn't have baseball for 30 years... Or was it 40 years... Prolly closer to 40... So ya'll gloat about how great the mighty Penguins are... Who cares??? I told ya'll that it was gonna go like this... Believe me... We folks 'round D.C. know the deal... The Caps would have lost to Helen Keller... lol... B;~( |

Hate to kick him when he's down, but your only as good as your goalie. Not a good day to have a bad game! Good Luck Pens!!!! .....now 6-2. Too little, too late! |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey: Stanley Cup 2009 (08-09 Season) From: wysiwyg Date: 13 May 09 - 09:09 PM nO, REALLY, i SWAR, aS AN rcf, AT THIS POINT i AM SAYING, WE MIGHT STILL WIN THIS ONE. oops sorry "We might still win this one...." As if we are down 6-1 instead of up 6-1. And just as I said, they're risking pissing it away-- it just went 6-2. We gave them life. I AM glad to see they scored on Theodore, but not 5 goals, eh? You wait and we'll see.... ~S~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey: Stanley Cup 2009 (08-09 Season) From: Bobert Date: 14 May 09 - 06:48 PM Well, there is a silver lining about being a Washington, DC sprts fan and that is alot more time to rake leaves, mow grass, shovel snow or just watch "I LOve Lucy" reruns... Ya see, when yer homies never ever make it to the finals of anything then you just don't get that "final's" mindset so for us, when the last regular season game is over, and usually well before, we have lost interest in that particualr sport... Then we get all hyped up about the next looser and root for it until it craps out and then back to raking leaves, mowing shoveling snow or Lucy and Ethel... Only folks in DC understand this... Actually, it's kinda a blessing... Frees up alot of time... B~ |

|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey: Stanley Cup 2009 (08-09 Season) From: Beer Date: 14 May 09 - 11:12 PM Here is a thought. Time Out is usually taken near the end of a period or at game's end. However no one ever speaks about the time outs that take place for commercials. Right? Adrien |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey: Stanley Cup 2009 (08-09 Season) From: maire-aine Date: 14 May 09 - 11:34 PM Woo-hoo! Go Wings. And the series against the Black Hawks is gonna be great. One of those old-fashioned hockey rivalries.... Maryanne Royal Oak, MI |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey: Stanley Cup 2009 (08-09 Season) From: wysiwyg Date: 15 May 09 - 12:00 AM Beer, that's called the media time out, and it's not charged to either team. Ain't one in overtime tho. ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey: Stanley Cup 2009 (08-09 Season) From: 3refs Date: 15 May 09 - 08:26 AM A-Each Team shall be permitted to take one thirty-second time-out during the course of any game, regular-season or playoffs. B-This time-out must be taken during a normal stoppage of play. Only one time-out, commercial or Team, shall be permitted at any one stoppage of play. (NOTE) For the purpose of this Rule, a commercial stoppage in play is deemed to be an "official time-out" and not charged to either Team. C-Any player designated by the Coach will indicate to the Referee (prior to the drop of the puck) that his Team is exercising its option and the Referee will report the time-out to the Game D-Timekeeper who shall be responsible for signaling the termination of the time-out. E-No time-out shall be granted following a face-off violation. (NEW for 2005-06) When a penalty shot has been awarded to either Team by the Referee, no time-out will be granted once instructions have been given to the player taking the shot and the goalkeeper defending the shot. No time-out will be granted during the shootout. Whats the call? An attacking player strips the defenseman of the puck at the defenceman's blueline. Attacking player is clearly on a breakaway when he is tripped by the defenseman. The attacking player is able to return to his skates, still in possession of the puck and continues towards the net. As the attacking player continues towards the goal, still on a breakaway, he is clearly hooked from behind by the other defenceman! No peaking.....what's yer call? |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey: Stanley Cup 2009 (08-09 Season) From: Beer Date: 15 May 09 - 08:38 AM First 3refs, thank you for the explaination. Here is my guess to "What's Your Call?" I would say the answer is a Double Minor. Adrien |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey: Stanley Cup 2009 (08-09 Season) From: gnu Date: 15 May 09 - 08:52 AM My call... dummy shoulda stayed down. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey: Stanley Cup 2009 (08-09 Season) From: 3refs Date: 15 May 09 - 09:31 AM Adrien.....nice try, but wrong! gnu........player was from western Canada and they won't stay down! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey: Stanley Cup 2009 (08-09 Season) From: Beer Date: 15 May 09 - 10:03 AM Lets try this again. Tripping penalty to be called if defending team touches the puck. Ref's hand is up. However the player gets up and takes off again but is hooked. Ref calls a penalty shot. Man in box for tripping even if the goalie is scored upon on the penalty shot. Ad. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey: Stanley Cup 2009 (08-09 Season) From: 3refs Date: 15 May 09 - 10:45 AM Beer.....close, but no cigar! Hint, hint..... both infractions would have resulted in a penalty shot if they had happened at different times of the game, but they happened simultaneously during the regular coarse of play with no stoppages in between! |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey: Stanley Cup 2009 (08-09 Season) From: wysiwyg Date: 15 May 09 - 12:06 PM 1. I'm thrilled to see the schedule for the CF flatters Gonchar's leg healing. It's a huge advantage for us; hope we use it well. 2. I hope my Wings-fan friends here will remember my steadfast admiration of them these last several years. But I am originally a Hawks fan, so.... but I'm OK with whichever team wins that series-- it will be such GREAT HOCKEY. 3. I'm actually OK if the Canes win the Pens series, too, but GO PENS! 4. Are ANY of you coming over? :~) 2009 Stanley Cup Playoffs - Conf.

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey: Stanley Cup 2009 (08-09 Season) From: wysiwyg Date: 15 May 09 - 01:05 PM Subject to change. Come on over! Come on OVERRRRR........! We got two recliners and a couch in the living room plus 4 wing chairs (WING chairs, LOL) with all the pink colors covered up, and two camping recliners and two more upholstered recliners to bring in. And a GREAT pub-dog dog (according to Leadfingers) who hears goals being scored and celebrates with us. Several boxes of treats so each person can reward him for their own teams' goals. Lapcats indoors and out.... Porches.... campers to sleep in for the highly-allergic, not to mention the kingbed in the MuDDorm if any spously fan-pairs attend..... A whole fridge just for beer! A smoker, ready to load..... a grill or two.... at least a gallon and a half of BBQ sauce (two kinds) and wasabi...... aw, come on over! PLAN NOW FOR NEXT YEAR. ~S~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey: Stanley Cup 2009 (08-09 Season) From: 3refs Date: 15 May 09 - 01:21 PM Before it gets lost! Two penelty shots would be awarded. If on the first attempt, a goal is scored, the second penelty (shot) would revert to a time penelty. If no goal is scored on the first attemp, a second penelty shot would be awarded. If no goal is scored on the second attempt, play would resume and no time penelties would need to be served. Reasoning is that you can only score 1 goal at a time during the normal coarse of play, but you can assess more than one penelty at any time during the hockey game! |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey: Stanley Cup 2009 (08-09 Season) From: 3refs Date: 15 May 09 - 01:42 PM PENALTY.....making that mistake for years! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey: Stanley Cup 2009 (08-09 Season) From: gnu Date: 15 May 09 - 02:03 PM Yeah! Fact is, you said he HAD a breakaway but was tripped... penalty shot. Then, he had a second breakaway and was hooked... penalty shot. Now, I did not know that the second penalty would revert to a time penalty if the first penalty shot resulted in a goal. But, since you clearly explained the logic behind the decision, it makes perfect sense... which I sometimes have a lack of. Okay... here's one for yas... if Eddy Shack wakes up in a bed without any floral prints on the sheets, did the "opposing" player clear the track? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey: Stanley Cup 2009 (08-09 Season) From: wysiwyg Date: 15 May 09 - 04:26 PM Is that Shaq the basketball player? Who's Eddie Shack? ~S~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey: Stanley Cup 2009 (08-09 Season) From: gnu Date: 15 May 09 - 04:54 PM "entertainer"... hahahahahaaaaa... heheheheheheeeee |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey: Stanley Cup 2009 (08-09 Season) From: gnu Date: 15 May 09 - 05:01 PM Who indeed! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey: Stanley Cup 2009 (08-09 Season) From: gnu Date: 15 May 09 - 05:08 PM Oh my... Beer... the video voiceover said "entertainer" at the end of that video! Hehehehee. Could not find a version of "Clear The Track"... here comes Eddie Shack. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey: Stanley Cup 2009 (08-09 Season) From: gnu Date: 15 May 09 - 05:12 PM BTW... part of that video shows Shack "avoiding" fights. Not quite what the man was all about... quite to the contrary... quite comical for those that remember "The Nose". |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey: Stanley Cup 2009 (08-09 Season) From: Beer Date: 15 May 09 - 10:23 PM Just got back form an evening of blues. Next week it is Celtic music featuring none other and my sidekick accordion player from the Rock(Newfoundland that is.). Gnu, Eddy was one heck of an entertainer, although it was not fake like wrestling back in those younger years of our imagination. If I recall correctly there was a big media build up in a game that was going to take place between Montreal and Toronto featuring a great fight that would involve John Ferguson and Eddy. I think Eddy got punched in the nose that night or he took off on a run and Fergie chasing him into the dressing room. 3refs, that was a great quiz and as Gnu said, the explanation makes sense. Well thought out ruling. Thanks for opening your doors Susan but I'm afraid it would not be possible for me. Great invite though. Adrien |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey: Stanley Cup 2009 (08-09 Season) From: gnu Date: 16 May 09 - 06:20 AM John Fergusson! "Never throw the second punch." I can see why hockey has such a bad rep. Hard to explain the violence to someone who never laced up. Kinda hard to "explain" it at all. I stopped watching hockey when it got real bad back in 70s and only watch the playoffs to this day. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey: Stanley Cup 2009 (08-09 Season) From: gnu Date: 16 May 09 - 11:00 AM Will the Hurricans blow away the Penguins? Will the Blackhawks clip the Redwings? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey: Stanley Cup 2009 (08-09 Season) From: wysiwyg Date: 16 May 09 - 11:34 AM I think both series will be nail-biting toss-ups. It will not surprise me if the teams with more experience eventually spot weaknesses to exploit-- and exploit them ruthlessly. But I think it will come down to coaching strategic adjustments, as I have said in past years, in the end-- and depth of bench. On that note, look out for the Pens' bench. Their farm team is scary-good and, because of injuries earlier in the season, a number of their best have logged bigtime playing minutes with the Pens. Bylsma didn't see them in P'burgh.... but he coached them. :~) Chemistry plus skill.... scary good. ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey: Stanley Cup 2009 (08-09 Season) From: wysiwyg Date: 17 May 09 - 11:34 AM ^ A toast to all the refs, linesmen, off-ice officials-- and MOST 'specially the War Room personnel-- that every decision be confirmed from the rafters (hockey gods) and be Right Hockey Thinking. | And if they don't act as described above, then this is what I wish them. (Hint: it has a fingernail I can't type.) Let the games begin. GO HAWKS! ~S~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey: Stanley Cup 2009 (08-09 Season) From: gnu Date: 17 May 09 - 01:05 PM Chiiiiicago, my kinda town. Chiiiiicago, shoot them Wings down. They call it the windy city. They're gonna be sittin pretty, When the kick the Wings in the rear. And youuuu know whooo will be cryinnnnn in his Beeeerrrrr. I tease you because I l... l... like you, man. |

|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey: Stanley Cup 2009 (08-09 Season) From: wysiwyg Date: 17 May 09 - 03:58 PM Great start to a great series, taping hi-def and reg-def here! No spoilers, please-- gonna see half after 8PM. ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey: Stanley Cup 2009 (08-09 Season) From: gnu Date: 17 May 09 - 04:01 PM Can the Hawks continue to set the pace at "too fast"? Is that a good strategy? Too fast and maybe get a goal and wear down the more experienced team? In the end, even though I am cheering for the Hawks, I ask, what would Scotty do? |
