It's Not The End Of The World: Penguins Lose

I know I don't like to lose. Hell the Columbus loss was a "meh" moment for me when it came to the loss, but something about losing to Philly that gets me. I know its not the end of the world, but I know this loss will make the Pens much tougher and better. Face it, Biron was out of his mind. The Pens couldn't get bounces. Just an overall tough day in the office. I'm beginning to not like the 3rd jerseys. I'm a superstitious guy, and these damn sweaters have been a thorn in my ass since they've been instituted.

BURN EM'

I feel sick posting a recap. But 2 Flyer power play goals. Kris Letang cuts it in half with 10 minutes left. Some jackass with an empty netter. Frustrating afternoon. Good thing I was at work the rest of the day.

I'm Gonna Burn That Jersey!

The Good News is the Rangers lost to the Senators. Hooray for that.

At least tonight you'll get an in-depth update plus entertaining standings as of Sunday March 22nd, 2009... Each team will be described as a TGIF character with explanation.


1. Boston Bruins: 102 Points (9 Games Left)

-The big picture is they're the Northeast champs and is also one step to clinching the conference after a big win vs. Jersey.

TGIF character: Stefan Urkel

Why? They're cool. They have a swag. But can be overly cocky, and it has bit them in the ass.

2. New Jersey Devils: 97 Points (10 Games Left)

-The definition of consistency. Now with Marty Brodeur back, they are arguably the most dangerous team in the playoffs.

TGIF character: Carl Winslow

Why? They're always there. They're respected. They just get the job done, just like Officer Winslow.

3. Washington Capitals: 96 Points (8 Games Left)

-A.O and company need some serious pushing for them to make any noise in the playoffs. If Ovechkin doesn't score, they are usually not going to do squat. Mike Green can be a key to their playoff success if he continues to produce.

TGIF Character: Danielle Fishel "Topanga" from Boy Meets World

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Why? The only reason you watch TGIF was for her and like Topanga that is why you watch Washington Capitals hockey... For Alexander Ovechkin. When you relive her 90's hotness she was gold, but then fizzle in the 2000's and she's screwed. Same with you Ovechkin... Don't fizzle in the playoffs.

4. Philadelphia Flyers: 88 Points (11 Games Left)

-A few games in hand and staying on the winning side can give the Orange and Black some success in playoffs. Question is just in goal and if Marty Biron can be that guy. And would the real Danny Briere please stand up in the playoffs?

TGIF character: Weasel from Family Matters

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Why? Like him, their fans are annoying. Their players look like him, and he's someone that you just hated on the show.

5. Pittsburgh Penguins 86 Points (8 Games Left)

-Left for dead at the deadline, but the Kunitz and Guerin moves proved to be a success... For now? Can it hold up in a 7 game series?

TGIF character: Shawn Hunter and Cory Matthews "Boy Meets World"

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Why? Its Malkin and Crosby. What a tandem! Though they can have some success and ability to overcome on their own, together they can accomplish anything.

6. Carolina Hurricanes: 85 Points (8 Games Left)

-They just keep finding ways to get points. Very underrated goalie. Can be a darkhorse in the playoffs.

TGIF Character: Christine Lakin... "Al from Step By Step"

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Why? No one cared for them when she was younger or early in the season like the Hurricanes, but when the show got older and the season wore on, people started to notice her hotness. Nice job Carolina.

7. NY Rangers: 84 Points (9 Games Left)

-The team is on the winning track right now. Unfortunately they just can't seem to climb up since the other teams their chasing are also winning.

TGIF Character: Mark Cooper "Hangin' With Mr. Cooper."

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Why? Cause no matter what his show does, it's not Family Matters, Boy Meets World, or Step By Step.

8. Montreal Canadiens: 81 Points (10 Games Left)

-Midseason coaching change didn't bode well for the Habs. They're unmotivated, playing bad hockey and floundering all at once.

TGIF Character: Cody from Step By Step

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Why? Though he is cool and a favorite by a lot of fans like the Canadiens, inside has a dark secret of domestic violence. I think the domestic dispute with Montreal has also come out with the firing of their head coach weeks ago.

-----SHIT OUT OF LUCK-----

9. Florida Panthers: 80 Points (10 Games Left)

-Better make a move fast or else they'll lose their best player for nothing and the team accomplished nothing by keeping him at the deadline.

TGIF Character: Mother Winslow from Family Matters

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Why? Cause she's old and that's what Florida is just known for... Old people. Not a Stanley Cup contender.

10. Buffalo Sabres: 76 Points (10 Games Left)

-Gotta laugh at something right? Well here you. Laugh at their dimunitive playoff chances. You fuck up enough times and you become a legend in Buffalo. Google Scott Norwood. Or The Buffalo Sabres. Or Even The Buffalo Bills special teams.

TGIF Character: Chet Hunter "Boy Meets World"

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Why? He was Shawn's dad and finally got to get some air-time. But his opportunity (like the Sabres) ran out and he ended up dying.
