How can you root for the Habs??

'09-'10 needed more than a spoonful of sugar, felt like a broken glass and battery acid suppository.
Young hockey players, the future, the answer. Learn it, then live it.

pretty much… Same with the Flyer series, I hate Boston less.. if thats possible to hate either one of those teams LESS
I hear ya. The ‘Nucks were the last team I ;liked and I sort of swapped them for the year before’s entry the ’Hawks.
I almost hate to admit it, but, I’d like to see anybody but the Pens…
and it isn’t that I hate the Pens.

when it comes down to the finals I will be western conference all day long…maybe might root for the Habs if they make it.. only because I met Gionta when he won the cup.
I guess I had hopes for the ’Yotes. I dunno, just would like to see some magic.

Hey, Max. Sorry I didn’t say hey back earlier, taking a break from fixing supper. You know I signed up and was on twitter for probably a good 3 or 4 months before I ever started tweeting myself. Just watched everyone else for awhile before I figured out what I wanted to do with it.

So, at Tachi’s recommendation, I downloaded TweetDeck. It’s pretty awesome! Facebook and twitter on the same screen, and I get a little pop-up in the corner of my screen when I get a new tweet.

i saw reading last night the difference b/t TweetDeck and Twril… very similar but Twril just seems to edge out by a smidge…i might try twril 1st

They both look good, and Triluna uses and recommends twhirl, but TweetDeck won out because it supposedly integrates with flickr, which could come in handy for me.

Job related, I drove a truck track to track, and sold merchandise….greatest summer/ sports season ever… things I saw and did…
You should write a book!
Way back in the day, the company I worked for in Charlotte would loan equipment to Humpy Wheeler and he’d give us a dozen tickets to all the Charlotte races, so I went to every race there for several years. Went to some of the old tracks where they don’t race NASCAR anymore – N. Wilkesboro, Rockingham, also been to Richmond several times, Martinsville. We’d make a day of it… tailgate, drinking by 10 am. Good times…

yep, my job allowed me the opp. to meet a lot of the drivers, watch some from the pits. Party all day long, boss did not care. The hours were brutal. Raceday we worked from 7 am till 3am the next day sometimes longer if it was a night race… simply amazing the people I have met and things I saw.. so glad I had the chance to do it… took a few years off my life but what the heck, not to often you get paid to tour the country meet lots of people and party..
So who was your favorite of all the drivers you met?

I ran a NASCAR memorabilla store in Myrtle beach before 05’ season… Tony came to the mall for the opening of the Bass Pro shop.. I donated stuff for the table he was signing at, he returned them to my store himself all signed and stayed at the store for almost an hour, sat behind the counter and talked.. .

I loved NASCAR before it got so bid and so national and they stopped racing the lower profile tracks around here. That’s why I’m kind of glad hockey is still a niche sport.

Mr. LTD and I have this theory about penalties late in the game when the short-handed team is leading. We think a lot of times it actually works to the team’s advantage to be down a man because you can clear the puck with impunity.

after the VAN – CHI game at the end of braodcasting he started fumbling on his words a little. I think he would be better as a team level analyst than national.

So I was cleaning out my closet the other day and I found a poster from the Canes 02-03 season. The only guys on it that were still with the Canes before the trade deadline were Cole, Wallin, A. Ward, and Brind’Amour. And the captain was Francis. Ah, good times…
