Rabbit Season....?

It's definitely not Duck season.

Ducks win again, even after blowin ga 2 goal lead twice to the struggling Blues. (How much you want to bet the Blues take it out on the Stars on Wed night?)

The Stars beat the Ducks in their first and only meeting this season. And yet the Ducks are a far superior team. The consistency they have shown already through 12 games is outstanding, and the Selanne line hasn't even really started dominating yet like it can.

The Stars, meanwhile have absolutely looked like they were skating in mud the last 4 games. True, they won 3 of those, but against better teams coming up soon, that isn't going to fly.

The Ducks have the Rangers, Coyotes, and Penguins coming up AT HOME, and can easily extend to 12-0-3 giving them 27 points out of a possible 30.

They rank 4th in the league in goals allowed, and 5th on the power play.

If that doesn't scare Stars fans on Halloween I don't know what will. Unless you want to remember that crappy Red Wings game on Friday.

Yuck.

We're having fun here, no?

Lee Corso....you've been had. Again.

Why is merkin humor so funny?

top of the merkin to you.

good merkin.

get in touch with your merkininity

look it up in the merktionary.

I think I left my merkin over at your place


Either way....the P1's who pull this off EVERY week are so awesome. To put that much time and effort into a "1310 The Ticket" bit, shows real dedication, and not just a little bit of stupidity.

More good what?

(That's what she said?)

These 3...maybe shouldn't stand all in a row like that.

Arkansas Razorbacks. (thanks to Drbio for pointing this crap out)

Stars 4 - Ducks 3 (SO)

Why does Barnaby feel the need to always fight with people who's arms are about 6 inches longer than his arms? Not to mention he's giving them about 60 pounds too. Dumbass.....

Stars win though. Again. 5-0.

I'm tired. So let's say this....this was a good win when you've played 3 games in 4 nights. They should not have given up a two goal lead, but they looked dead tired from last night and so I won't complain about winning a game.

Did you see that move that kid put on in the first shootout round? Holy crap! and then Marty saved it...double holy crap!!

Also, I predict Sharks win on Tuesday, 4-2. Not cheery I know, but it's time.

Go Stars.

Sports of all Sorts.....

Maybe we'll never know what the heck happened with Cory Lidle today, but how weird is that? Heck of a way to go, but as I understand it, small planes are allowed to fly that low on the east side of Manhattan and get away with it on a regular basis. Maybe something broke on the plane? Maybe he ran out of fuel? R.I.P, man. He'll most definitely be remembered for the thing he probably wouldn't want to...

But how weird was it when we were all at work opening our browsers and you see "Plane crashes into NYC building." Weird coincidence? As it turns out, yeah it was. Pretty freaky when I first saw it though, got a little feeling in my stomach that wasn't so good there for a second....


And now.... Football.

Cowboys lose in Phili. Let me just say, Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. But seriously, you people who are calling for Tony Romo are idiots. Bledsoe is a much better option. Putting Romo in, is giving up on the season. Plain and simple. Coach Parcells "The New Jersey con man" coaches every season for the now. He has no interest in building something for 4 years down the road. It wasn't Bledsoes fault. It was his freaking O-line, and the lack of the shotgun and max protect, letting those hungry Phili line-backers break through there and rape him.

Funny Stuff though. I just hate Cowboy fans who can only rag on the quarter back and ignore the fact that their beloved Roy Williams blew coverage twice, and pretty much single handedly gave up 14 points. Idiots....Go Eagles.

Hockey???

So far... the Ducks and the Sharks are undefeated, and the Kings are of to a good start. This doesn;t make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. The good news is, if the Stars would like to keep pace with them, they have a lovely 4 game road trip all against division teams, and they can do it then. Still, I see a rough winter ahead for the Stars. Look for them to be 3rd in the division, and 6th or 7th in the conference through January before they push ahead, kind of like last year.....I hope they push hard anyway....

TV....

I don't watch a lot of shows....but the ones I do watch I am very happy thisthis fall. The Office is greatness, Earl is funny. ER is ok I guess.... Studio 60 is the best new show since....The Office I guess. But already there is news that Studio 60 is under performing.... PLEASE WATCH IT. Preferably with a Nielsen ratings box attached to your tv. It's so great, but like Sports Night, it's probably doomed to 2 seasons, or less given the volatile nature of tv execs these days. Heroes is also intriguing, though a little strange.

Maybe one of the most underrated shows though is not on network tv...watch "The Colbert Report" on Comedy Central, 10:30pm CST. It's greatness.

Can't wait for 24 and Scrubs in January though....

And Lo! Marty did thrust his killer two line pass upon them...

And the one called Sydor did shelfeth thine puck above Jose Theodores now slumping shoulder.

And it was good. Stars win 3-2.












Alright Alright, it wasn't biblical proportions or anything; but for this team to have to go up to the evil thin air and the evil pepsi can where the Avs gutted them last year, and open the season on the road with an overtime win on a breakaway goal (is this sentence long enough for you yet?) was pretty much the greatest thing I've seen since game 2 of the NBA Finals, which was the last time one of my favorite teams made my sports pants dance.

Take a breath now.

And now, Brads simplistic game breakdown:

Period 1: awful, too many penatlies, and they gave up an entire games worth of shots on goal.

Period 2: Slightly less awful. No one scored. Marty was great.

Period 3: The Stars took some kind of crazy brain steroids and came out a completely different team, and matched Colorados performance i nthe 1st.

Overtime: Penalty kill, home run pass, breakaway, ball-game.

As if I weren't already as excited as a girl could be about hockey season starting....
