17 Apr 10 - 11:46 AM (#2888574) Subject: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup MWH Benefit Auction From: wysiwyg Hey. This is the thread to have fun chatting about the 2010 NHL playoffs and Stanley Cup Final series. In past years the amount of posting has warranted a new thread when the playoffs start. I forget who was the first of us hockey nuts to do it. (At the time I didn't like it. Then I saw how much better it was to re-thread, so thanks.) According to Max the Auction is s'posed to be fixed and usable as of tomorrow, which as you know is a crazy-busy day of the week for me. But as soon as I can I will start an AUCTION I've been WAITING to start-- to benefit our MWH's cancer recovery. And what could be better for a hockey fans' auction than a Genuine "Lord Stanley's Cup"?!?!?!?!? No one who bids and contributes need lack for merch, either. I have a whole bagful of hockey merch right here as consolation prizes to the LOSERS, LOSERS, LOSERS ("You wouldn't MAKE it in the NHL!") Sorry, no golf clubs-- yet. :~) That's right boys and girls. Even if you do not win the CUP ITSELF, you too can get a prize, if you send in the highest amount that you have bid. Be the first one on your block to own a piece of hockey history! ;~) In honor of the graciousness of MWH to acknowledge Sidney Crosby's worthiness, BTW, let's suspend the "Mr. Nice Guy Rules" for this ONE THREAD (heads-up newbies-- we usually leave the trash talk in the Tavern). BUT, for every trash post-- please go fine yourself with a bid! :~) Don't MAKE me send 3refs after you to enforce that! :~) OK, now the annual list of who is rooting for whom so far (with trash): Susan - Pens (thanks to Pseudolus for the first hockey thread here BTW) MWH - Wings, because I know you must My best recall from the past, from them as hain't hockey-posted for awhile: Becca - Caps Pseud - Flyers? (God is gonna getcha for that!) Mick - Wings, of course (pay up sucker) And wasn't some poor SOB actually for the Maple Laffs? Rest of you dozey lot-- go ahead and post your druthers. GO MWH! Go Pens! ~Susan |

23 Apr 10 - 12:09 PM (#2892829) Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup & MWH Benefit Auction From: GUEST,999 The Habs are a long shot, but that`s my team. When I lived in Alberta it was the Oilers, and if I lived in Ontario it`d be the Leafs. (Calgary isn`t REALLY a part of Alberta which is why I took the Oilers. Of course, had I lived in Calgary, I`d be saying the same about Edmonton.) I hope to catch a few games and see some good hockey. No offence to the pros, but I hope the hockey they play matches in quality the games the Canadian Olympic gal`s team showed us all. AND, if the Cup doesn`t come back to Canada after 17 very long years, I`ll be cheering for an American team. Next to football, hockey`s the best team sport in the world. |

23 Apr 10 - 12:38 PM (#2892842) Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup & MWH Benefit Auction From: Becca72 Let's go Caps! Of course, my number 2 team has always been Les Habs so I'm in an awkward position right now... |

23 Apr 10 - 09:13 PM (#2893155) Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup & MWH Benefit Auction From: wysiwyg I got some great PMs from some past thread-players, and guess what-- MOST of them have backup teams they never admit to having in the thread! Damn Pens, I'm ashamed of them. Time to go back to Chi-fan-mode. For those who will understand what I mean, I am taking the weekend off from CRAP and have no plans to read or respond to PMs till next week at least-- weekend church services are in full swing for us from tomorrow's wakie-time till Sunday night, and this is my only day OFF and we are still IN it. Hockey and gardening and church, oh my! ~Susan |

Could be arranged pregame to put a needed rest-delay into the mix-- don't tell me THAT kinda trickery never happens in the playoffs! :~) ~S~ |

25 Apr 10 - 03:41 PM (#2894121) Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup & MWH Benefit Auction From: wysiwyg I hate to brag, because we're still resentful that they held us hostage first to a double-overtime game they pissed away-- but the Pens have advanced. Today we are watching ydy's Hawks game. Go Hawks! Tonight we will watch the Wings game. Go Wings! And then-- GPO PENS! So who-all else is still in, in the West? ~S~ |

26 Apr 10 - 07:30 PM (#2894917) Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup & MWH Benefit Auction From: gnu I have made a lot of "donations" in the auction in the past... a LOT. And in personal donations outright for specific Mudcatters. I did because I could. Now, I can't. I find your post rather rude. This is a hockey thread, right? And I still don't understand why you can't click on the "d". Why do you have to start another thead? What's the logic in that? Everyone else can load that way. Why can't you? Yes, I am. |

26 Apr 10 - 07:58 PM (#2894934) Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup & MWH Benefit Auction From: Beer I also think that was a low blow Susan. I know that Gnu contributes a lot to Mudcat. I'm on the other thread from here on in. We all know that what you are trying to do for Michael is noble and generous but that was a no, no. Ad. |

26 Apr 10 - 08:37 PM (#2894958) Subject: RE: BS: Lord Stanley's Cup & MWH Benefit Auction From: gnu We're cool, Susan. No woories. But, I shall stick with the NHL thread, if just so future searches by hockey freaks can search for it. As far as your auction or auction thread, perhaps you could promote that without messing up the hockey thread. Your call. |
