MISC
The Ottawa Senators have played five games in December and lost four of them. What's more alarming is that in three of the four losses, the Senators were leading in the third period.
That from Silver Seven. That is encouraging, because the Canucks erased a 3-0 lead to beat the Habs on Thursday night. We should pound these guys into the ground right? Well, odds are the Senators are going to put up a hell of an effort against Vancouver. As I am typing this they have fallen out of a playoff spot. But this is a team the Canucks should beat.
In the second half of November, the Senators had a 5-1-1 record before this little collapse in December.

4-2 Nucks. GWG Hamhuis.
Andrew Alberts once had an awkward moment, just to see how it feels.

Keith fucking Ballard FTW. It came to me in a vision. If it happens, it proves i’m a prophet. If it doesn’t, it proves I gotta lay off the psilocybin.

Oh man
I didn’t even notice til now that you blasphemed all that’s cool in the world by using duran duran. I mean, at least it wasn’t coldplay or arcade fucknuts, but really? Duran duran? when did u become a 13 year old girl from 1985?

it's funny
before I found metal and it saved my life, I was a Duran Duran fan. But thanks to the healing power of the riff, I was given a chance at redemption, praise Satan and all that…

I became a Duran Duran fan when I was about 12. And you can’t narrow it down to a 13 year old girl from 1985. DD is more than just a boy band. Musically and lyrically they were groundbreaking genius. I have been a fan ever since.

4-1
Higgins to win. I would have said 4-0 but then I’d be too much of a dick and bad winner to my Sens fan girlfriend.
4-1 Nucks, Kes GWG
- '94 was epic. Nothing but a cup will make me change my name. Kill the bird!
Be kind and give me the points
Yes this vote didn’t get posted until the game was a few minutes old, but I had no foreknowledge as I watched the game via delayed recording :)

your comment: 4:16 pm PST
time of celebration for Edler’s goal to open the scoring on the gamethread: 4:18 pm PST.
time into game of Edler’s goal: 1:10 of 1st period.
yeah, if it were up to me, i’d say you just barely made it in time.
