USA-Canada Hockey Thread

PrintYes, I'm pissed off about NBC shipping this game to cable so they could show freakin' ice dancing on NBC. I also can't watch their video online since, yeah, I don't have cable.
I did find a radio feed online, so there's that.
Anyway, enough of my bitching. The US is up 2-1 at the end of the end of the first period (random question: are hockey and baseball the only sports to do things in threes?). Discuss.

I am seriously considering dropping cable

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
i use my tv 1-2 hours a day
I watch The Simpson’s every night, as kind of a break. I may watch The Daily Show and Colbert Report, but I don’t even watch those religiously anymore. I can watch The Simpson’s over the air, and The Daily Show and Colbert are put online. I also watch the Office, but I usually end up watching that on nbc.com, because I am usually focused on work when it actually airs.
That changes during baseball season, but up here in Chicago I can’t watch the Reds game on cable anyway. So I probably would cut cable if I lived alone, and get MLB.tv and watch everything else on the internet.

He was also very meticulous about his teeth, and because of his chocolate cake and speed problem he had a lot of dental issues. Yet he refused to allow his dentist to use any sorta anesthetic for fear of loving control.

what about coffee?
Does it make you sleepy?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
It doens't really wake me up
it doesn’t make me sleepy. Ritilian, Aderall, and Concerta are all uppers, and are all medications used to treat people with A.D.h.D. The theory being the brain chemistry of people with A.D.D. is slightly different than that of people who don’t A.D.D. These uppers actually alter a person with A.D.D.’s brain chemistry to be like a “normal” brain. That at least is how my Doctor explained it.

I had a friend with ADD
Who was supposed to be on Ritalin. He quit it because it gave him headaches. But he would drink coffee to calm down, and if he drank too much it made him sleepy.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
no
But he liked bulldozers.
It was kind of funny. I met him through work. He applied for a job as a CADD operator. Basically, a job that used be called draftsman a generation or two ago. Only you use computers and CADD software now, instead of ink and linen or mylar.
He thought it was a job operating heavy equipment. Because the people who drive bulldozers and such are called “operating engineers.” He got the job, but it wasn’t what he expected, and he hated it. He was so antsy he couldn’t sit still at the computer, and spent the entire day kicking the desk, tapping his pencil, etc. Just constant fidgeting. He finally quit and got a job as an operating engineer.

I fidget constantly, hhhhmmmmm

Except I don’t really like bulldozers. My ultimate dream job is to fly a plane, my reality dream job is to be in the foreign. Given the way this economy is going, I’ll probably be selling myself on the street just so I can pay my loans back.

I have been diagnosed with a bit of the old ADD myself
I used to to take a form of Dexedrine. The theory is that my brain doesn’t make connections fast enough to catch up with my perceptions, ergo the speed. AS I’ve gotten older I’m a lot better but you can tell by my typing and leaving out words ect. that ADD is still there. I just got tired of taking the medicine, it conflicted with more important things like sex, LSD, playing music, my writing carrier and I was becoming to focused on getting things done and being responsible.

"They're the ones that gave you the keys, they can’t get upset when you crash the car" -- 'tHan on my being a mod
In middle school, when they were using Mavis Beacon to teach us to type
They got us in the computer lab, and put old soccer shorts over all the keyboards, so we couldn’t see the keys. So I learned to type by putting my hands up a pair of shorts and moving my fingers all around.
Who knew what a valuable life skill that would become?

Except for the arcane and totally off the wall stuff….like the study of indigenous African religion/culture as a method of understanding the study of aging in a aboriginal to indigenous group. that was fun.

Sid Crosby sounds like a male clothes designer
The Sidney Crosby Collection
along with Sidney NYNY
Yu Na...if I were 40 years younger and single.
I don't even like hockey, or really follow it at all
but I really got irritated by team Canada winning gold yesterday. I’m not even sure why. Perhaps my blind support of team USA? Maybe it’s because we beat Canada once and that should have been it, I don’t know, but I was really disappointed when MIller let that shot get by.
I don’t think this was posted in this thread, but here is Votto’s reaction
He is supporting his country which is great, but someone should have told him the series is tied 1-1!! ;) At least it was a well fought battle full of excitement. I guess that’s the most we could ask for next to a win.
I was 100% for the Canadian men’s curling team, though. That balding dude was great and allegedly one of their team members, John Morris, is the most eligible bachelor in Canada. (here they are complete with Tim Horton’s shirts) I didn’t bother to corroborate that, I just assumed the commentators were being totally truthul.
I thought you'd be happy for Jo-eh
I honestly didn’t mind Canada winning. Hockey just means so much more to them than to us.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
True, I can't begrudge Canada a hockey gold!
Sudden death is just so….sudden lol. I really thought they had a chance to win that game, but Canada was pretty dominant in that overtime period. But, you’re right, I am happy for Joey V and the Canucks—just more happy about their curling gold than the hockey gold. AT least we didn’t lose to the Russians or something ;)
This will be a fun rivalry for the next Winter Olympics in any case.
Sidney Crosby rules
Alex Ovechkin is a jerk!
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Thanks, I was looking for the proper response
I was too enraged to come up with it on my own. Nice save, Sister D! (Miller-esque!)
holy cow
I actually left Brendan speechless? The end of the world is nigh…
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I'n not a Crosby fan,
but Ovechkin was acting in a silly/offensive way. He is allegedly going to be an ambassador for the 2014 Sochi games. That might work out great as long as no cameras or intevrviews are part of the job lol
Please, for the love of god
Don’t end your comments with lol. This is not facebook.
