Next Game
Toronto Maple Leafs (23-33-12, 29th) at New York Islanders (27-32-9, 28th)

Employers of the other Kessel: Pension Plan Puppets
It's a tank-tastic afternoon! Regulation loss, and the Leafs are within three points for 28th. Regulation win, and the Isles are closer to 21st than they are to Leaf-land. Not to get all gallows on you, but other than seeing the kids grow up, that's the sort of context that's on my mind.
If you missed the noon game, the Capitals came back from 3-0 down on the Hawks -- and Alex Ovechkin was ejected for a hit from behind on Brian Campbell. I'm sure a contingent of Caps fans will say it was Sidney Crosby's fault, and Ovechkin was framed or something. But it's pretty simple, really: Don't check from the behind, don't get thrown out.
Note: Rumor has it the addicts from Leafs blog Pension Plan Puppets will be visiting en masse during the second period. So be cool and have fun and all that. If you don't like trading marbles with opposing fans, maybe you sit that part out.
I'll probably be late, in and out (huh huh), here and there. After much inspection, I find my roof isn't going to fix itself.

Ah, I SEE.....
…..haven’t watched “Futurama” in quite some time – and the eyesight isn’t the best anymore:)
Woooo Jackman
Time to build this team on non-scoring grinders!
Comeau, Comeau, Comeauuu and do the locomotion with me.
Jackman goal, with the assists from someone and Trevor Gillies. haha

Funny thing:
…..I’m up on the scoring only because Yahoo! is posting the +/- while still being behind the play!
little bit before, but I was waiting for that. Friggin pussy.

Perfect example of live by the sword, let your teammates die by the sword. Wonder who protects him without Giordano by his side anymore?

Parkie!
Two shorthanders in two days, and of all the goal scorers… what in the world.

Up is down
Bergenheim, Meyer, Sim, Jackman, Park — anyone else needing a slump-buster this weekend?

BTW, Dom.....
…..what would you say about a poll here concerning whether Kyle or Streit should be awarded the captaincy next season?
I'm going to have to get a feed of this in a bit...
So I can check out selection Sunday too. Haha.

Question:
why on earth was MMoulson required to serve MMartin’s penalty? Wasn’t a GAME misconduct, was it?
Martin got two minors and they had to be served at the same time, not consecutively.
We're doomed. Doomed!

More penalties
Uh-oh. Streit. Removing best PK guy is no way to start a period.
Lighthouse Hockey: What's wrong with lotteries? I've been in lots of lotteries.
P.S. No Leafs fans visit, I don't believe
We’re too “delusional,” apparently. Hating on Phaneuf is just too much.
Lighthouse Hockey: What's wrong with lotteries? I've been in lots of lotteries.
we don’t hate him cause he’s a Leaf..we just hate him.
Get out of the sticks, Charles, move to Queens!!
And because the cro-magnon look went out of style 30,000 years ago.

Penalty for manhandling Streit
Nice extra frustration jab by Lundmark, aka Phaneuf’s protector for the night.

Ah, I think you're right
I knew I had some reason to think he smelled funny, but he’s been all over I couldn’t remember why.

AOL Headline: "Colin Campbell's nightmare continues"
It’s funny, it wouldn’t be a nightmare for him if he had done his job the last 10 years.

Continuing theme from last night:
Gravel and bouncy obstacles around the goalmouth. That was a magic puck bouncing around Sim’s stick there.

It's early yet, I know, but.....
…..what are the odds you’ll come out to the Island in late June for the draft party, Dom? Got my accommodations firmed up should I do so and it might be a chance to get some of the LHH denizens together…..determinant upon my mother’s and aunt’s circumstances, of course – to say nothing of our draft position…..
Not good odds
Doing a lot of traveling that month, and there is a slim possibility I’d be in L.A. for the draft with SBN. Shame the Isles won’t be playing in May — I might be headed to NY for Killing Joke May 21.
Lighthouse Hockey: What's wrong with lotteries? I've been in lots of lotteries.
Irving Plaza
I reeeallly wanted to catch them on their only other U.S. date (L.A.), but that conflicts with a rafting trip.
Lighthouse Hockey: What's wrong with lotteries? I've been in lots of lotteries.
Lot of free time huh? Did you pick the right 6 numbers on Lotto ?
Get out of the sticks, Charles, move to Queens!!
Nah
I’m a little rusty on my particle physics.
Lighthouse Hockey: What's wrong with lotteries? I've been in lots of lotteries.
Heh, just a singular determination to travel whenever I get the chance and have my health.
…but I have some family in Cali, and I passed up Killing Joke shows in the ’90s, and their next show could always be their last.
Lighthouse Hockey: What's wrong with lotteries? I've been in lots of lotteries.
Or not (KJ May 21)
Turns out they just announced a delay in the tour, per tradition. This is why I never firm up Killing Joke plans until as late as possible: They have a way of changing at the last minute.
Lighthouse Hockey: What's wrong with lotteries? I've been in lots of lotteries.
Come on, PP
Act like you’ve done this thing before.
Lighthouse Hockey: What's wrong with lotteries? I've been in lots of lotteries.
Did a U-turn
I think the ones who are active there today didn’t want to follow orders. (There was a dust-up last time some of ’em visited, and of course those involved think they were totally blameless. Internet woo!)
I can take it or leave it. You need the right atmosphere and the right day (and right drinks?).

Danish Love is actually Illegal in the other Scandinavian countries. Something about it being too dangerous a position.

You have to grow up practicing it to master it, I guess.

Smooth play by Comeau, too.
Lighthouse Hockey: What's wrong with lotteries? I've been in lots of lotteries.
Comeau has played a strong game today, setting up 2 of the 3 goals.
We're doomed. Doomed!

This is wierd
watching this game Comeau is starting to remind me of Benoit Hogue.
Tavares is starting to remind me of Pierre Turgeon. It’s the little things he does. It’s wierd.
Who is our new Volek?
Lighthouse Hockey: What's wrong with lotteries? I've been in lots of lotteries.
LOL
Don’t know about that.
If Comeau can keep this level of play up this team goes into next season having some supploemental scoring from it’s back lines. Something that’s been needed most of this season. Takes the preasure of Tavatres and Okposo.
Team still need a SAH D and a puck rushing D.
If Comeau can keep this level of play up
That is becoming an intriguing question for the off-season. Another false alarm, or is he hitting a new level?
Lighthouse Hockey: What's wrong with lotteries? I've been in lots of lotteries.
The first game after the break, of course. We couldn’t return without some immediate injuries. (Note: Hunter’s may not be season-ending, but he’s not really close yet, either.)
Lighthouse Hockey: What's wrong with lotteries? I've been in lots of lotteries.
Just saw a guy with a Guerin jersey….Anyone want a Bill Guerin bobblehead?
Get out of the sticks, Charles, move to Queens!!
Something in which to take a modicum of pride:
We may have ten 10-goal scorers for the first time in a long while this season!
I'll take it
With just one 20-goal scorer, gotta find ribbons where you can.

sometimes I wish there was a "like" button

You can always “rec” (although it doesn’t tell you who did the rec’ing) ^
Lighthouse Hockey: What's wrong with lotteries? I've been in lots of lotteries.
LOL - Streit mic'd up
“Bruno – if you lose that guy, tell me.”
Lighthouse Hockey: What's wrong with lotteries? I've been in lots of lotteries.
What a sequence
Kill the penalty, then try to shoot self in the foot multiple times, then get a 3-on-1 but botch it. Heart stressing here.
Lighthouse Hockey: What's wrong with lotteries? I've been in lots of lotteries.
Those are the things
they have to finish. Even a harmless shot there is a great scoring chance with any rebound. They went in almost 3 across. They have to get in a triangle or cross over each other there if they’re going to make any pass.
Yep. Looked like Moulson was trying to get up there to make a triangle, but KO rushed it, trying to slip it under the D-man’s stick.
Lighthouse Hockey: What's wrong with lotteries? I've been in lots of lotteries.
Uh-oh
Leafy 5-on-3. Comeau and Meyer in the box.
…but WAIT! Kessel goes off for chopping Meyer back. {snort}
Lighthouse Hockey: What's wrong with lotteries? I've been in lots of lotteries.
5 on 4 Dom. Kessel got a slash to go off with Freddy
Get out of the sticks, Charles, move to Queens!!
Yeah, I corrected mid-stream. Thanks to Kessel for taking a dumb whack.
Lighthouse Hockey: What's wrong with lotteries? I've been in lots of lotteries.
Not much
I think Martin got out there after the too many men penalty, but I don’t know about Gillies.
Lighthouse Hockey: What's wrong with lotteries? I've been in lots of lotteries.
Martin's had four shifts in the 3rd so far
Considering the penalties, that doesn’t sound off to me.
Lighthouse Hockey: What's wrong with lotteries? I've been in lots of lotteries.
I just want to get to the draft
That’s how I feel about this season right now.
LOL. Manage expectations.
Lighthouse Hockey: What's wrong with lotteries? I've been in lots of lotteries.
Commercials
In the acting department, Bailey + Schremp < Sutton + little kid.
Lighthouse Hockey: What's wrong with lotteries? I've been in lots of lotteries.
MATTY MOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Cha-ching, cha-ching go the Moul$on goal$.
Lighthouse Hockey: What's wrong with lotteries? I've been in lots of lotteries.
Yep, after Comeau fed him cross ice.
Lighthouse Hockey: What's wrong with lotteries? I've been in lots of lotteries.
Maybe Bailey can finish the season with 40 pts
That assist gives him 32 on the season.
That'd be nice
A return to center helping him finish strong would be huge.
Lighthouse Hockey: What's wrong with lotteries? I've been in lots of lotteries.
Isn’t there a rule you can’t mention one Staal without naming the Other Staals?
The Lemieux Curse lives on, will the Islanders reach 2013?
Sorry about that

Fantastic passing by him and Bailey.
Playing the Maple Leafs makes the future look so lovely.
Lighthouse Hockey: What's wrong with lotteries? I've been in lots of lotteries.
Your goal must be *this* beautiful to hear the giggity
Lighthouse Hockey: What's wrong with lotteries? I've been in lots of lotteries.
Wow
I bet you this is the first time we had back to back regulation wins in which we scored 3rd period goals.
I was having trouble with SBN all day, the formatting was all off till not too long ago.
The Lemieux Curse lives on, will the Islanders reach 2013?
SBN formatting
I meant to ask people about that. I was getting notices all day, but I never experienced any trouble. Not sure what’s up.
Goal support for Biron, yay!
Lighthouse Hockey: What's wrong with lotteries? I've been in lots of lotteries.
I think it had to do with the Firefox update
The Lemieux Curse lives on, will the Islanders reach 2013?
That’s what I heard — which was also weird, since I was using FF.
Lighthouse Hockey: What's wrong with lotteries? I've been in lots of lotteries.
Heartless
Their heart just isn’t into tanking.
Honestly I think they’ve played well multiple games in a row now — PHI, STL both had displays I liked. The lottery shall be in the hands of the gods.
Lighthouse Hockey: What's wrong with lotteries? I've been in lots of lotteries.
BTW, I checked out PPP’s gamethread. Apparently they didn’t invade us because we’re “Hostile” and “Delusional.” Does anyone else find Leafs fans calling someone “Delusional” as funny as I do?
We're doomed. Doomed!
Ah-haha, in a word: Yes.
