So, uh… Jeremy Lauzon got Zednik’d tonight in the Q playoffs… rushed to the hospital, in stable condition and out of danger, but scheduled for surgery tomorrow

Senyshyn’s team eliminated as well.
Debrusk’s Red Deer Rebels series tied 2-2, Zboril’s Sea Dogs trailing theirs 3-2
Go Blues!
Oh and the taxes on whisky are low in Holland, resulting in some rather good prices. Muahahaha!
speaking of booze. I just picked up a bottle of Jefferson’s bourbon. Good stuff
Ooooo yes. Well done, sir.
That will be my post home building repair work drink. During the work though will be blackberry brandy.
I bought a kickass 9yr Glenallachie – a distillery I’d never tried before. I’m super happy with this bottle and will probably buy a second one tomorrow. Leather and cream and walnuts and raisins and blackberries and dark chocolate.
It’s like an amped-up Strathisla.
Nothing goes together like power tools and booze.
If you’re putting in new hardwood floors, and thus working with a pneumatic power staple gun, make sure you wear your Tevas.
At the metal festival I’m at, I ran into the Sabres guy I met at the same festival last year. He’s this Swedish Sabres fan who wears a Sabres hat.
I also yelled NO HABS NO at a guy wearing a Habs tshirt.
Holy mackinaw…are the Blues and Hawks ever gonna score this series? Cue the Beavis rant…
I think more importantly are they even going to shoot tonight?
Strategy is to win 0-0!
Worked in game 1? Hawks have 5 SOG so far…
Whoa. I just looked at the shot totals. You ain’t kiddin’.
What up party people! I’m live & rollin for some playoff hockey tonight. Made home made alfredo for dinner, then home made tiramisu for desert. mmmmm
What’s on tap!?
Following that with a pic of Brad Marchand scoring a goal was cruel, man. It really was.
well, the point was it was Luongo in a moment of fail
Sadly, it also served to emphasize Boston’s fail this season.
Too bad his tires were deflated. Must not know about the ideal gas law
We cut it close last night, so making sure we’re on time tonight. Game (soon to be) ON!
