oh my god the art of almost oh my god. Really?? I seriously want to stop listening now and walk away thinking this could be Wilcos best work. Oh My God. Wow.
Sorry to get freak out juice all over you.

I just found out I'm going to game 3 in Chicago, Sunday. Very psyched.
I've always wanted to wear a North Stars Ciccerelli sweater at a Blackhawks game to see if I could inspire a "DINO SUCKS!" chant. Perhaps Sunday is that day.
No way man, not in the playoffs. Nobody's gonna care in the playoffs, unless it's a Chicago route.
That is a sweet idea though. Love the old stars jerseys. Maybe wear it when the Hawks play the Stars next year? That might work.

How do Canuck fans feel since they're playing the Blackhawks again? The Hawks have knocked them out of the playoffs a few years in a row now. Also, Luongo has never taken a team to the second round of the playoffs. He's a great goalie though. I'm curious what the feels are around Vancouver.
I'd be interested to hear that, too. NHL Live recently interviewed one of their journalists or commentators who said the fan base is really tense.
To clarify: Luongo has led Vancouver to the second round every time they've made the playoffs (07, 09,10) and Chicago has beaten them 2 years in a row in the second round.

I was at the St. Thomas-St. John's game last week with about 16,000 other people trying to cram into a stadium that seemed about half that size. I live like two blocks away from the University of St. Thomas campus in St. Paul, MN so I go to their home games if they aren't playing at the same time as WVU.

Thats the only game I've been to this year. It was a great one, even though my team lost. What a spectacle, with 16k+!
St. Thomas has no ceiling this year, IMO. They remind me of the 03 Johnnies, who crushed Mt. in the championship game. Hopefully the Tommies can do the same (as the Johnnies are a dead team walking, where the playoffs are concerned).

I'm counting my 75% score in the "greater than 75%" category.
Ditto

Happy (kinda-belated TECHNICALLY) birthday Jeff! Hope you had a good one, and in your own words (impersonating Mavis Staples), "Let's do it again"
Not in the Central Time zone, to which, I believe, Mr. Tweedy is partial.
I love the music you've made, Jeff Tweedy.

Took a very frustrating hour but I finally pulled 10th row for Minneapolis! Very few fees charged. Nice!
-
I forgot how much I loved this man! I'm way, way giddy! Best news!!
-
Coming to Minneapolis! I'm so excited. Hopefully new material accompanies...

I'm losing my Autumn Defense virginity right now, and I'm liking it. Listening to Circles. Went to their website and read good news: http://theautumndefense.com/
I really wish I could get to the Wilco festival this year.

Had a friend group that recently moved to different cities and we'd like to play poker on-line (for money, if legal; if not, no big deal) bi-weekly, give or take. Anyone know of a good free site? Thanks.

Found in Minneapolis @ Kings Wine Bar, kingsmpls.com
I might have to stop by tonight for a taste. I hope it's Great! I have my doubts..... from the (Kings) website:
Wilco Tango Foxtrot $6
Limited Release Brown Ale
Lagunitas Brewing Company, CA
“a big ol’ Imperial Brown Ale to help you with your slipperly slide on into springtime. Rich, smooth, dangerous & chocolatey.” And. . . 7.83% alcohol! Passenger side, indeed! A Malty Robust Jobless Recovery Ale.
Well, someone's a Wilco fan

a Blackhawks Cup sure feels inevitable. That has to give you pause, right? Like everyone and their uncle who doesn't even watch hockey KNOWS Chicago is about to win the cup.
I feel the inevitability, I agree with it; and because of that, I'm saying Flyers win it. Say 7 games. I'm pulling for the Hawks though.
-
So Ottawa's cup counts because they were in the NHL but Vancouver's doesn't because they were in another league that was at the time on par (if not better) than the NHL (not to mention the beat an NHL team)? You do realize that the Ottawa Senators who won the cup are not recognized as the same franchise that today calls themselves the Ottawa Senators, yes?
Not that any of this matters but I will defend my team, my city, and my province till the bitter end!
The distinctions I chose were NHL-only Stanley Cups and Cities that experienced a win. Your great-Grandfather might be able to describe to you how Ottawa reacted to the 1927 Cup win. He might also be able to describe Vancouver of the PCHA defeating Ottawa of the NHA for the Cup in 1915 but, to me, thats different
However, if Vancouver's name is on the Cup then I think I'm technically wrong We could probably make that the deciding factor. I don't know the answer.
-
If you count Ottawa on there then you have to count Vancouver. Americans...
Ottawa won the first Stanley Cup awarded within the NHL in 1927. Since then the Cup has been awarded exclusively to the NHL Champion and Vancouver remains the only non-defunct Canadian franchise never to have won it.
I mean, it was a bad joke anyway so I feel stupid defending it, but I know what I'm talking about here

might still be some small tweaks here and there, but thanks for your patience

Shoulders shrugging off... (enter Jay)...
*chills.......

The things, the 'noise', going on underneath Jeff and Glenn on Radio Cure blow my mind every time. Thats my #1.
-
Good to know that "Vancouver" won't appear on the Stanley Cup... it's bad enough "Calgary", "Edmonton", "Toronto", "Ottawa" and "Montreal" are on there.
Oh, Canada.
-
I was cheering for an all Canadian Stanley Cup Final.
But since Vancouver is out, I am going for Boston, and if not Boston than Philadelphia
Well, San Jose making the Cup would kinda be like an all-Canadian Cup final, with the all-Canadian top line, Boyle, Blake, Setoguchi, Malhotra, Clowe, etc....
OLE OLE OLE OLE HABS IN 6 THEN THEY WIN THE CUP IN 7 IL BE IN THE STREETS OF MONTREAL SOAKING IT UP
You'd be a brave man.
And we start back up today/tonight! Freaking NHL, 2 series left and they'll play on the same days for games 1-2. It wouldn't be better to have 1 game every night?
-
How F'ing nuts would a Boston-Montreal Conference Final be?? One of the great playoff rivalries in sports. I think it would be one of the hardest fought series imaginable. Not to discount Philly, they could win and have a GREAT series v. Montreal (just minus some of the bad blood going in, but I'm sure they'd develop it in no time)!

They're a sideshow in Tampa. I'd rather him go to a city that loves hockey.
Circus sideshow. Yzerman has earned more respect in hockey communities than Tampa's entire franchise, collectively. It'd be like the Pope coming to your local Catholic Elementary school for Easter.
-
Steve Yzerman is rumored to be the front runner for the GM spot in Tampa. I'd be sad if he gets the job. He deserves to be with a better team than them. C'mon Stevie - hold out and wait until a better job opens up.
I'd be shocked. Shocked! I cannot see it happening.
