Hockey Playoffs Approach

Did you see the latest marine tribute to Our Game in Vancouver? A salmon (most appropriate) was thrown on the ice during the Canuck-Wild matchup. Ref L'Ecuyer was reluctant to approach it, causing the Minnesota bench to jeer. "Oh, pick it up. It's only a salmon, for cripe's sakes. You act like it's poison."

Perhaps the squeamish l'Ecuyer should take a workshop in Pescatorial Management from the veteran octopi-wranglers in Detroit. It did wonders for the Nashville officials when confronted with their first catfish.

In other sealife news, sources report that Paul, late of Germany,has become a hockey fan through acquaintance with the large community of Michigander Octopi it Aquarium Heaven.He predicts an all-Canadian Stanley Cup final.

My understanding is that he thought it had washed ashore from the Japanese Tsunami and he had forgotten his lead lined gloves in his locker.

The area that it had been thrown from had a peculiar glow emitting from one person.

No, that was the Coach's Corner - just Don Cherry's jacket again.

Life Imitates Art Dept.

The BC College of Physicians and Surgeons has issued an advisory based on a recent complaint by a patient undergoing elective eye surgery under local anaesthetic, who was disturbed that the doctors and nurses discussed hockey throughout the procedure. No errors were made in his surgery, it was determined.

He was lucky. And dumb. Who schedules elective surgery at playoff time?

He had it easy. Try having a baby on Stanley Cup Final night.

Bulletin:

Canadian Socialist government announces The Frozen Shovel Ready Project called the Daunce Lyman Center for Collectivist Individualism: The...er ground breaking ceremony will be held between August 1st to 10th, which is probably the only time the ground can be worked on anyway.

This center will be dedicated to the rebirth of hockey which has been banned in Canada since the elimination of the Toronto Maple Leafs from the playoffs.

Ms. Lyman will be addressing the "crowd" at the dedication and is expected to draw incredibly extreme parallels between the individualistic collectivisation of hockey and the growth of communalism in Western and native culture.

As soon as we defrost the on site film, we will post it on our film at eleven ham radio broadcast from the secret igloo.

Ms Lyman claims to be a reincarnation of the woman who gave Tuktoyaktuk, which is the anglicized form of the native Inuvialuit place-name, it's meaning "resembling a caribou."

She explained that she, according to legend, is the reincarnation of a woman who looked on as some caribou, common at the site, waded into the water and turned into stone, or became petrified. Today, reefs resembling these petrified caribou are said to be visible at low tide along the shore of the town.[8]

We think she is certifiable, but when we tried to use our cell phones she glared at them and they began to grow caribou horns and smolder, so we are not taking any chances.

Film ? maybe at eleven.

Adam,

Urgent heads-up that you are now an associate member of the Sacred Igloo whether you want to be or not. My sources say they have decided you know too much about certain internal matters to be left loose. The caribou reference was the clincher. Very few people know about von Mises' secret summit with the Grand Shaman at the first PolarCon. Also they have found out that your father was a Mason,which made the paperwork easy. You don't even have to complete the Forty-Nine Tasks, only 23 of them.

They realize you will probably elongate the Q&A session after the Rite, and pass out copies of Atlas Shrugged to the membership. Good luck with Grampa McAloon.

You'll be getting your official notice from the Grand Shaman soon,not that I know anything about it.

Hope you like bingo.

Compassionately,

Carol

Adam, please, take a deep breath, I can't understand you when you're sobbing like that. Just whimper quietly --there, there, it'll be all right, you'll see. You like camping, right? Well it's

a favourite, well, essential activity up there - just like what you're used to only, you know, colder.

That's better...remember at the end of Stripes they sent John Larroquette to command the Arctic station? What they didn't show was that later on he really got to like it up there! He's a Brother now too --very down-to-tundra guy with everybody.And he's from Louisiana!

And the National Post said on April 1 that the area will soon be the Canadian Riviera because of global warming. Like, soon.

And a right-wing national newspaper is never wrong.

Thanks for asking Marc. They got knocked out at the semifinal in Niagara Falls, but he had a fantastic time there. (I didn't want to know the details). Then he played in the final of his Sunday league here in Toronto (that made 4 games in 2 days) and they lost that, he ended up #2 scorer in the league though.Pretty good for a Torontonian.

At least Montreal and Vancouver are doing us proud eh. Flyers in with a good chance. I'm pretty sure MSK doesn't care about hockey but I don't know about Kat so I won't say anything about the Blackhawks. Teehee.

Well congrats ! Amazing job indeed !

Looks like the Hawks are done for sure but I am very surprised actually that Montreal is up 2 zip already headed back to La Belle Province .

I do not feel good about my Flyers this year though- just a hunch but I think Sabres will advance.

Marc, Montreal surprises you? "Da Liddle Guy' surprised a lot of people in politics, and Maurice Richard was no giant. The small but mighty forwards plus the great ancestral ankles on which they skate will lead them to victory. Sort of like Theseus's ghost leading the Athenian army. Plus you gotta love P.K. Subban.

Good job Nashville. I see ole Nameless is earning his keep.

That's you and Marc for Philly, PDS for Detroit, and me for the entire country of Canada.

Our national anthem singers are classier!

And neither are as good as the French and I hate the French, but they have the best anthem...

Still on of the best scenes in movie history with one of the top four most beautiful women in the world.

Never fails to bring tears to my eyes.

O mon dieu yes. I always thrill to the Marseillaise even though I know what the words mean. Also love the German one, it is is by Haydn and not the Germans' fault it was retained by Hitler. It is a hymn tune "Glorious things of thee are spoken".

Oh my poor nerves. Eight minutes to go for Vancouver. Sstanding on guard.

(Breathing calmly) I really, really wish they would not go into overtime when I have to work in the morning.

I totally understand - good luck.

Sitting quietly at home with window open on the sweet spring night when suddenly stadium horns and cheers erupted from silence. I take it the Canucks are moving on.

Sorry for my very late response but yes , they really do surprise me. Even tonight down 2 zip fast and now its all tied ....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

My hatred for Les Canadiens started way back in 79 after Philly won 2 cups back to back and then Montreal ruined the threepeat by sweeping them !!!!
