I saw this Yahoo! omg! headline
LeAnn Rimes: ‘People Think That I Serve Coffee in a Bikini’
and I said to myself, “Who the hell drinks coffee from a bikini, anyway?”

GO PENS!
Oh, and check two threads back, Cole. I gave you an answer, somewhat. And FYI, I won’t be checking email until Monday.

@Amir Khalid: Is LeAnn Rimes in the bikini at the time?

C’mon Broons! But honestly, so far the Pens look too good.

WOOOHOOOO!

Love the way Horton can get a hard shot on net while sliding sideways.

Spoke too soon. I forgot about the Pens’ gaping hole in net.

@Narcissus:
If she is, how are you going to get the coffee in the bikini?

Crosby’s a whiny little bitch. Talented, but a fucking whiney ass shit.

Amir Khalid
Oh, by the way: what sport do the Pens and the Bruins play?

Both Hockey and Basketball playoffs take so long, I have totally lost interest because it is impossible for a casual watcher to follow. The funny thing is, I even check Deadspin regularly and still have no clue what stage the competitions are in and which teams are still left. I have to guess that the Caps have been eliminated because I haven’t seen as many people lately wearing gear around town as they were a couple weeks ago.
20.
Cassidy
@Amir Khalid: I think it’s curling or synchronized ice dancing.
Hockey. Which I’m sure you don’t get anywhere in your part of the world. But what do I know?

@the Conster: As opposed to the Boston synchronised diving team?

@geg6:
Curiously enough, there is an ice skating rink marked out for hockey in a mall in Subang Jaya, just down the Federal Highway from Kuala Lumpur. I’ve heard tell a few here do play the hockey of the ice, but they must have to get all their gear specially imported.

Can you decline a penalty in hockey? For the Bruins it’s nothing but two wasted minutes they’re guaranteed not to score.
You mean the Habs. Or the Canucks. Bs don’t dive – Julien kicks their asses for playing that game, and they don’t dive because they suck at the power play – they’re way better 5 on 5.
@Litlebritdifrnt:
Yes, real hockey is played on a field of grass — or of Astroturf, in fancy new stadiums.
ETA: I think that hockey rink I mentioned is the only one in Malaysia.

Doesn’t matter how many “Matt Cooke has changed his ways” stories get written, he’s still a thug who shouldn’t be in the modern NHL.
@Just One More Canuck: There are a couple, and I mean a couple, instances of Marchand diving. How does that compare to a goon who has ended the seasons (and a career in one case) of multiple star players? In one case we have embellishment, in the other we have concussions, blown out knees, a severed achilles…
38.
different-church-lady
How the heck do you get a two on none while you’re shorthanded?
@Time Travelin: I agree with you about Cooke – he’s a disgrace. I was responding to the Conster’s comments about Crosby. The Bruins, led by Marchand (as well as Ference) have raised diving to an art form.
41.
Time Travelin
@Just One More Canuck: My bad, I thought you were comparing those two. But I must strongly disagree with your statement that the Bruins are divers. Why would they? Their power play is almost useless. Not as embarrassing as the Rangers’, but still. As a Canuck fan, which I’m assuming you are, you have no room to talk about divers and baiters. Or even biters :)
42.
Time Travelin
Whoops. Spoke too soon about Marchy. Dumb penalty. Dumb.
This is going to be a long series. There will be blood.
45.
Just One More Canuck
@Time Travelin: In spite of my name, I’m not a Canuck fan – just from Canada. And there is a lot of video of Bruins diving. Marchand is the most prominent, but certainly not the only one
46.
dr. bloor
I expect the Pens in six in this one. The only real question is whether Crosby is actually capable of finishing something he starts for a change.
47.
Time Travelin
Bergeron and Malkin? Boy, that escalated quickly… I mean, that really got out of hand fast.
48.
different-church-lady
@the Conster: Did you see the back of Bergeron’s sweater? There’s already blood.
49.
Time Travelin
@Just One More Canuck: We’ll have to agree to disagree. Wrong of me to assume as well. Who’s your team? Love Canada and Canadiens (not the Habs) btw.
Yeah, not as bad as the Leafs game 3 yet though where they were chipping it off the ice between periods, but we’ve got a long way to go.

Mr Stagger Lee
Watching a little of the college rugby sevens during the intermission, had to go the wikipedia to find who the f— Life University is. I thought it was one of those Evangelical University they are a Chiropractor School located in Raven’s neck of the woods.
@Mr Stagger Lee: One of the biggest assholes I have ever known graduated from there. There is a lot I can tolerate but a motherfucker that lies about having been not only IN Vietnam but then about “everyone but him getting killed” is just more than I can stomach. He was a rugger too and all the guys on the UGA team know what a fucking weasel he is. The fucker lives two blocks away and just sucks seeing his sorry ass.
54.
Time Travelin
@Just One More Canuck: I understand why you wouldn’t like the B’s. As much as I dislike the Habs, they have a great future. And I love their style of play.
55.
Time Travelin
@Just One More Canuck: And also, Mike Ribeiro was on your payroll for awhile. You have to go to the NBA to find a bigger flopper.
56.
different-church-lady
Anyone wanna check on Cole, make sure he’s okay?
57.
Just One More Canuck
@Time Travelin: Watching the playoffs I’ve found that I don’t hate the Bruins as much as I thought I did – I hate the Leafs and the Rangers more. Canadiens need some more scoring and size to be more competitive
58.
Time Travelin
@Just One More Canuck: You’re exactly right. They’ve been one of the fastest and best skating teams for awhile. Add some size and a sniper to pair with Subban on the PP and they’ll be a contender. They’re not that far away.

Vishnu schist
Jesus I hate Crosby, how many fucking slashes does he dish out per game? What an asshole.
60.
Time Travelin
@Vishnu schist: I know. He’s the best player in the world, but his whining and cheap shots really detract from enjoying watching him.
That look on his face when he gets caught slashing – he’s a whiny annoying baby, with apologies to babies. That crap with Rask leaving the ice – that’s his MO. He’s just a whiny dick.

Sports? I’ve got nothin’.
But last night I looked at the WaPo front page (online) and saw this:
“Democracy Threatened in Georgia”
Is it just me or does it say something about the Modern Republican Party that my first thought was not of the foreign country?

@Amir Khalid: I am sure that the only hockey you and I both know about is what they call “Field Hockey” in the US.
Time Travelin
@different-church-lady: That is sadly all too true. I think they score almost as many short-handed as on the power play.
Rob
Chars most overrated player on the ice.
