I demand a second option! Not that I'd ever listen to them but they're one of the few bands, Canadian or not, to actually acknowledge that there's other places to play in Canada then Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto, and Montreal. For that, I will always have a little bit of respect for them......... even though Chad Krueger is a total d-bag and the band makes horrible music.

I want to know who the skeletons are, in the caves. Also: was MiB ever Vincent?

I'm not saying fire the owner, if that was possible. I'm saying that finishing dead last for so long wouldn't be acceptable in a market where hockey is king. That's what makes it unfair. Some markets can tank it and get by, others can't. You can't say hockey is king in Chicago, there's four other teams in that city that are ahead of the Hawks. Look at Toronto and how desperate they were to rebuild that team quickly, though it did backfire. They've been a middle of the pack team for years now. Unfortunately the one time they did finish at the bottom, they traded away their picks.... regardless!

I know the owner for the Blackhawks was terrible but that'd never fly in Vancouver. Maybe in the 70s but not today. The way I see it, in Chicago the Hawks are the fifth most important team. You guys have TWO baseball teams, NFL, and NBA teams. In BC, we have the Canucks. They tried giving us an NBA team but no one cared (well, and the NBA royally fucked up that situation...). We'll watch the Lions in the summer but even then, if you listen to sports talk radio, it's still 75% Canucks, even in August. I know the Canucks did suck for a long time, but the fan base hadn't been grown yet (in 1970,

That's a pretty good theory. I guess they can't really go back to the "real world" after crashing on the island once, lying about it, becoming the Oceanic Six, and then all of them going missing again. Especially if they return with someone like Sawyer who is suppose to be dead.

I have to vent. The Blackhawks represent everything that is wrong in the NHL these days. Teams like Vancouver, Calgary, Detroit, New York Rangers, etc have fan bases that demand accountability. They're expected to be competitive every single year. These teams can't take a few seasons of being lame-duck franchises at the bottom of the standings, the fans would riot, the media would be up in arms. However, teams with markets that either... A] don't care about hockey B] care about hockey a little bit but also have baseball, football, and basketball teams ...are able to tank for multiple year

I just wish Fender and Gibson would start making some interesting instruments (that aren't "digital"... I'm looking at you, Dusk Tiger). Steel guitar seems to be fairly popular but neither of them wants to step up to the bat, except for Fender for about 3 months a few years ago. Just give me something interesting!

You guys know that I'm a huge Canucks homer. But... Fuck you, Luongo. :realmad :realmad :realmad :realmad :realmad :realmad :realmad Well at least I can look forward to shaving this beard.

Come on, Wings!!!

What about Lapidus?!

One time, I was watching a film titled "Funny People". They talk about Wilco a few times and you hear a live rendition of "Jesus Etc" performed with Andrew Bird. Also, Seth Rogen wears an Uncle Tupelo shirt, I believe.

Dearest Fender, Please Make a 12-string Telecaster! Sincerely, The Cowboy Poet Who's with me?!?!

Ooops! Yes!!! Remember The Mountain Bed should have been on there! I also forgot When The Roses Bloom Again!

How many NHL and NBC executives would start taking cyanide tablets if the finals turned out to be Vancouver vs Montreal???

That was a poorly officiated game, from what I saw! Still... the Wings really need to get their act together.

This video is classic. The original Wilco line up with three guitars

A few thoughts... I never knew they performed together for MA2. Pretty cool stuff. The performance might have been a little better if they were standing. I'm all for sitting and playing an acoustic guitar but when the song is that up-tempo, it might be best to move around. Yeah not much of a point of Billy being there, at least give him a mic and let him sing back up too! Or give him an electric and let him do the slide stuff and Jay can do the baritone guitar... It's been a few years since I read Learning How To Die but didn't Wilco record their new MA2 songs without Billy Bragg?? As for the

Nice team effort from the Canucks. Each line scored, Luongo looked really solid.

Halak looks a lot slower in this game. He must be burning out.

There was a few songs that Jay took when he left Wilco... that was one of them. Screen Door If That's Alright Wait Up Satan Your Kingdom Must Come Down Black Eye Fatal Wound Acuff Rose New Madrid Box Full of Letters Dash 7 Pecan Pie Radio King Far Far Away Forget The Flowers Sunken Treasure Please Tell My Brother California Stars At My Window Sad and Lonely One By One Hesitating Beauty Airline To Heaven Chinese Apple The Ruling Class The Late Greats A Long Time Ago Basically, I think the folkier songs work best in the solo shows. Am I wrong?

Ten minutes into the first.... I've never seen Detroit play so poorly. Come on, Wings! Get your act together! The Canucks want home ice in the third round!! Course as soon as I post this they score and make me look like a straight up fool!!

You jinxed them!! That's exactly why I don't like Ovechkin, he's incredibly arrogant for someone who has never won anything. Until he proves otherwise, he's another Joe Thornton. That non-goal was BS, yes, but the Caps should have never even been anywhere close to being in that position. Congrats to the Habs, it's good to see another Canadian team still in the playoffs!

Glad Phoenix got eliminated. I like the players, Shane Doan is one of the best guys in the league... but damn, that would have been awkward if they won the cup and then moved in the offseason!

The mullet, the mouth guard, the 20 cents, everything!

Damn Halak was good tonight, best performance I've seen since................ Craig Anderson! Ha! I love seeing cocky teams like Washington getting taken down a peg. Though Habs fans piss me off... there's 15 minutes left in the third and they're singing "ole, ole, ole", if there's any team in the league that can get three quick goals, it's Washington. Glad to see Boston trump Buffalo. There's something about Ryan Miller that I just don't like. I'm always wrong, so I shouldn't make predictions HOWEVER, I don't see any team in the west being able to trump Chicago or Vancouver, nor the east,
