No more typing for you.

If I could mix you the perfect cocktail to relax your bones and make you sleep, I would. Hope the massage tomorrow works.

I've got a shiny new tag. Thank you, DJ.

ita, it's not morphing into the m-word, is it? I hope you get some relief soon.

What happened to the fights?

They typically disappear during the playoffs. Fighting is too costly with the Cup on the line, unless it is absolutely necessary. It has pretty much disappeared from the "new" NHL (regular season) as well. It's not the image that Bettman wants the league to project.

And I don't know what will happen in the future, but it's been a fun (when it's not been completely infuriating) season watching the young blood.

Yep. Though it's been mostly infuriating for me. I'm a Flyers/Caps fan.

Ooh, there's some good hitting still happening. I'm impressed they've got the energy.

We're going to four!

eta: Man. I'm tired. I'm going to go get a snack. And maybe some tea. Decaf. I can't afford to not go to sleep whenever this (ever!) finishes.

And they're going into OT number 4. I love this game.

Bwah! Awesome x-post.

Hockey will take over Natter yet.

7th period. Announcers still giggling.

They're saying "We've moved through game 2 and are now on game 3"

It is odd though. I know some of these guys. Modano of course, Turco. But a couple of the others too. I'll always miss Neiu(howeverthefuckyouspellit)ndyke. He was my favorite. They just said Brett Hull! I remember him too!

I may have to watch if we're going to play like this.

Aren't y'all on the east coast?

I'm Cali time right now. Not that it matters, 'cause my internal body clock is all jacked up.

It's funny, 'cause some of the lineups are totally shifted, but some have their pivotal guys there still.

I'll be interested to hear what you think of the "new" NHL. Although of course, now we're getting the playoff version of that, but still.

I am. Why yes, I've swallowed the "crazy during hockey playoffs" pill, thankyewverymuch.

DH still knows a lot of the Caps. He'll occasionally play goal for the charity Alumni games. This year we've gotten to know the GM well; his son was on the Mite team hubby coached. It was weird hearing about deals before they actually happened.

Much cleaner. I remember Hatcher, our enforcer. And everybody had one. You hit us, Hatcher'd hit you hard. There doesn't seem to be one of those anymore. It's still exciting. One of, I think, the easiest games to follow as far as rules go.
