I really did liveblog the game tonight, but thanks to Blogger, it didn’t go through. Now, I will repost what I sent in, with the blemishes and all. All the errors, all the drama. The end was interesting.
First Period
Who is Ref #40. He looks like a kid.
Caps get the first goal, Avs the first PP. I know which one I’d rather have.
George Parros is un the lineup tonight, and he brought his hair with him.
GOAL!!! Sakic’s assist gives him 1,500 career points!!! The Crowd goes wild!!!!!
They just showed the shots on goal at 5:00 left in the first. 15 – 5 Avs. Nice.
5on 3 is nice and all, but Clark is pissing me off on the power play. He jsut shoots at anything. Dude is either nervous or not with the game plan. I can’t wait until Leopold gets back in the game.
Great scramble at the end of the period. Kolzig is keeping the Caps in the game. He really is better than the Caps record shows, this year, last year, every year.
After one period, the Avs are pushing the play, but not in command. They are playing better than a 1-1 score so far. If they can show the Caps at the begining of the next two periods that there is nothing to fight for, this could decide itself soon. Hope springs in turtles. I didn’t think I would be live blogging this. But here I am. A keyboard on the bar is always an eye catcher for the crowd. And now a guy just walked 20 into the bar with the ugliest sweater on. It’s blue and white, and has some stupid whale logo on it. I’ve seen that logo before, but where? I know it wasn’t at last years playoffs.
A tip of the hat to Czechvar beer. It is what I call a winner: hockey beer and great taste all in one.
Go Avs.

Second Period
Budaj’s mask has Ned Flanders of the Simpsons on it, carring a Slovakian flag. Budaj iscoming out strong for the start of the period.
Avs have come out playing dump and chase this period. This has never worked well for the Avs. Ever. EVER.
Shannon should be here soon. I’m going to get a good picture of her for the blog. I wonder what penalties she took this weekend.
Parros looks like he should be the newest bass player for The Darkness. He is so metal.
POST!!! A good shot by Klee, just an inch off.
CRAP!!! Green makes a few beautiful moves, and it’s 2 – 1 Caps. Plenty of time. But that was some fancy puck protection. The Avs have to start
taking away the opening period jump teams get against them. A little more hard work out of the gate, rather than waiting for the inspiration.
Goal, Alex O. A blast that was either tipped in, or Budaj just got a = little on it, just not enough. 3-1 Caps off an Arnason penalty. My mood
changes from Go Avs to Come on, Avs. Get the jump back.
I missed who took the fresh penalty, but this is no way to make a comeback. If there were stars of the periods,Budaj would get first star for the 2nd, even with the goal against.
Donald Brashear needs to punch someone. It would be entertaining, and help my hockey pool. 8 penalty minutes is pathetic.
The Avs have been looking down at the puck way too much this period. Way too much for shooing against a revived Caps defence and Olie the Goalie.
Sakic had a “Do I shoot or do I pass” moment. The Caps are making even Super Joe take pause and think before instinct. That is proof that the Caps are driving the second.
At the end of two, the Avs give up the ghost, and it’s 4-1 Caps. If the Avs are a 2 period team, the third had better be one of them.

Third Period
At our intertmission, it’s 1-1 in the Ducks Oilers game. I can’t wait to see what Sleek has to say at Battle of California. He must be jumping = out of his seat.
3-1 Caps. Hope is waining.
Alex O just used Skrastins to break the glass. And there is a drunk woman making me really mad.
Goal. What the fuck. Joe Sakic jsut scored a goal, and instead of watching, I was being told I look like a T#rr0rist. What the fuck is wrong with people. I came to watch a hockey game, and I wind up trying to not be rude to a drunk off her ass woman, and get asked if I’m a t3rr0r9st. Fuck this, I’m barely watching the game now, I’m jsut sick of being pissed off at this bar.
Caps score. 4-2. I have left the bar, after being insulted over and over by some drunk woman. More later, but I am shaking mad. What is with people?
