At first, I thought the ice girls were a good idea. Hot chicks and sports. Nothing wrong with that right?
Well not only are TDS ice girls not very attractive, they also appear quite conceited and stupid as well.
But the really dumb thing about them, is this incessant cleaning of the crease ice. I have no love for opposing goal tenders. None at all. But holy crap, just leave them alone stupid girl. The girl pictured above on Wednesday night would skate up to this poor bloke, and then linger and wait for him to move. So then he tries to avoid her glance, and eventually awkwardly skates to the corner.
He's a professional athlete, you stupid little girl. Leave him alone. Those creases managed to make it about 100 years of NHL play without "Ice girls" to take care of them. Something tells me that it's going to be ok.
- -Yankees...suck it. Go Cleveland
- How about some drama in these baseball playoff games? I'll watch playoff baseball, but when I turn the game on and it's 9-3...I'm not that interested.
- -Thanks for Marty Reasoner for taking a stupid penalty last night so that the Sharks could points out of a game they shouldn't have. Brilliant. Moron.
- -Diamondbacks = good? Do I care that much? Not really, but I'm still from Phoenix and I reserve the right to root for them if they get further...
- -Why do people complain about the NHL teams wearing white on the road? Most NFL teams wear their whites on the road (Broncos, Steelers, Colts come to mind). The NHL does it so that the teams can wear their 3rd jerseys (which are always darker) at home. It's marketing. It's not hard to understand.
And what are the Mavericks going to do withour Damp to start the season? Did Diop learn how to not get 2 first quarter fouls over the summer? I think that's going to be really bad. Eddie Jones and Trenton Hassell aren't going to help not give up gobs of points in the paint.
Here are some stats from game 1:
- 34 shots on goal
- 2 power play goals scored
- 3 goals total
- Only 2 penalties taken
In my estimation when any combination of 2 or more of those things happen on the same night, you should win your game. You should win it easily. When all 4 of those things happen, and you don't win, you can pretty easily point the finger in the right direction.
Apparently all you have to do to score on Marty this year, is just back Zubov in and use him as a screen.
What is wrong with Zubov?
He was a -4. He was on the ice for EVERY Avs goal, and on none of the 3 Stars goals. He had similar numbers in the pre-season. His buddy Daley was -3. Think that pairing is going to work out? Sure it's just one game, but I've been saying all along that Zubov should be with Norstrum. Tipp doesn't want to put all of his good defensive eggs in one basket, but guess what?....Zubie might not be a good one anymore.
The Hockey season returns today, with basketball season close in tow.
And so the blog starts again as well.
Enjoy, all 4 of you, my thoughts.
Official Stars Prediction:
- The Ducks will be good, but not as good as last year. Not in the regular season anyways.
- The Sharks will be better. A lot better. I think they will win the division.
- The Kings will be improved, and annoying, but not deadly.
- The Coyotes will be the Coyotes.
- And the Stars....3rd in the division. 98 points, and a 7th or 8th seed playoff birth.
So there it is in writing. I predict the Stars will suck, but not bad enough to not get the chance to lose to Detroit or San Jose in the first round. And then it's out with Doug Armstrong, and out with Dave Tippet, and rebuilding while watching Mo and Zubie waste away. That's cheerful.
