Early morning greetings and salutations from the Great White North (where man-on-Moose love is still (mostly) legal in many provinces; true hockey fans sleep in their favourite team’s official NHL issued asbestos pyjamas/underwear; and Canadian lasses enjoy watching puck and stick almost as much as they do shopping for * insert local team’s name here* kinky tapioca flavoured edible lingerie).
Hope everyone is having a great start to the week (notwithstanding that we’ve witnessed the wraith of the Hockey Gods in the past few days, as demonstrated by Anaheim’s last !@#@%@# minute meltdown a few days ago against Les Habidon’ts and, just recently, witnessing the Washington Caps boinking the pooch in a heavily favoured match-up against … wait for it… the Dallas Satires…. (oh Lawwwws, why done ya’all spite us fine hockey-lovin’/gamblin’ folk? Done we not worthy n such? Huestas, git me my prayah beeds and vape-ez..….). But I digress as usual…
Yes, today is another day, the Sun continues to rotate around the Earth ;), American Idol still @#$@#% bites large bovine sized hindquarters, and Paris Hilton’s coocheenska retains its own gravity and a full walk-in closet).
Alas, that aside, onto some hockey and prognostications for Tuesday.
Firstly, however, as a brief recap, despite the ugliness of the aforementioned two games, my YTD totals are 21-9 (which, as I indicated in my last post, would be pretty decent; however, given my propensity to pick willy-nilly (what the hell is a ‘nilly’ anyway?) vis a vis NCAAB and NBA *please, someone H-E-L-P me with said picks or I shall be forced to continue living in a van-down-by-the-river and snorfing down Government cheese * most of the winnings have been negated accordingly. Note to self: stick to betting on hockey, lawn darts, midget (errr little people, I mean) tossing, and roadkill eating contests.
Early leans:
Philly (Islanders) – Philly is obviously the far superior team and pretty much all stats back this as a bet as good as any on the menu tonight. Islanders have been a bit of a spoiler, however, especially when Roloson stands on his cranium. Nonetheless, we’re talking Philly at home, in the thick of a play-off race and playing fairly decent the past few games. It might be closer than people think but I believe Philly prevails.
Anaheim (Columbus) – for some background please see above comments. If that fugly loss to Montreal wasn’t a major wake-up call for the Quacks then they might as well start booking tee-times and buying spring doilies for their final team barbeque mid-April. Additionally, Columbus is ugly-ass in back to back games and was bitch-slapped nicely by LA last night. Throw in the fact that Nash was injured (and looks like he won’t be available for tonight’s game), this should be a no-brainer for Anaheim.
Minnesota (Florida) – Minnie, like Anaheim, has also boinked the pooch the last few matches so it’s not a stretch to suggest they are going to be looking for a major bounce back on home ice (where they have been fairly dominant). Florida seems to be fading (surprise surprise, yes) and are not exactly road-killers; hence, the Wild should be taking the W after all is said and done.
Sleepers:
Vancouver (Colorado) – the cardiac/come back kids – on a road trip from hell – have been getting the job done for the most part. Several come-from-behind wins against teams that are not exactly Tier 3 Uzbekistan’s One-Legged Women’s League material shows they have the mental toughness required to persevere (now, if only they could maybe, just maybe change it up and actually lead after the first period for once?). Colorado has been playing very well all year – and of late – but I just have a feeling the Canucks take this one.
Allrightie then, perhaps some further comments to come later. Time to get some zzzz’s (but first, as is customary, I’ll be perusing the lingerie channel and mainlining aqua-velva shooters ;) ).
BOL to all and as always love to hear your comments/thoughts (unless they involve either latex ‘companion’ adventures/love-ins or reminisces of how you won a blue-ribbon in the amateur county state fair phallic kumquat/gherkin eating contest)
Cheers
! When will i ever learn!!!
