6:08 left in the third period. Tampa Bay sucks balls. Sir Sidney Crosby is back on the ice. It’s 0-0!

What a waste of HD technology. Seriously, I thought this was the “New” NHL.

Yet, here we are, late in the third period, with no goals. It was like this a little over a week ago when San Jose was in town. What a snoozer that was.

It’s creeping back. Unfortunately, the win at all costs mentality of pro sports leads to copy cats, and since the New Jersey Devils are still successful, teams will continue to copy that style.

This is what killed the game the first time.

The trap is like herpes.

The trap is like beating up your wife (actually, that is kinda fun).

The trap is like listening to NASCAR on radio.

HOLY SHIT! MAX TALBOT FROM CROSBY AT 18:13!

Ok, ok, cut the Primus.

MALKIN EMPTY NET.

New song. Foreigner, “Cold as Ice.”

Malkin’s cold as ice

He’s gonna score on you I know.

He’ll always pay the price

With his stick he will slice a goal.

I’ve seen it before

but not all the time.

Some lanky Russian

leaves his world behind.

He’s digging for goals

Never throwing away

a fortune in blue jeans

for which he won’t pay.
