"I'm not supposed to comment, but (during) the first goal, Ovechkin was offsides, and we watched it. His foot was well over the line, and his other foot was in the air," Senators coach Bryan Murray said. "The third goal, with an icing call ... that's what we were yelling about, and they call it a clean play."
Oh, who CARES? Murray's showing every bit of his 64 years there; what a cranky old man. Even without two goals, the Sens still would have lost...what a bunch of whiners. Is that their secret to "success"- moaning like the Canadian Diving Team captain about every little thing? The Caps could have complained about Schaefer's white flag incident, but they didn't because they're men.
The always-fabulous Neate Sager wrote a great post about Ottawa's reaction to the Sens loss at the hands of the Caps. As he says, "Those hot streaks never last. Neither do slumps." The Caps' sucky 6-game losing streak didn't last, obviously, but neither will the win streak. Let's just enjoy it while it lasts and delight in the fact that the Caps have beaten some great teams lately (and found their offense). I am extremely upset that I'm missing tomorrow's game, because I desperately want to see Barra Brava in the stands. Oh well, hopefully they'll be back another time.
One thing I'm still trying to figure out is why Barry Bonds had to go down to Florida in person if all he had to do to get signed with a team, presumably the Giants (since they're the only idiots who would want him at this point), was "snap his fingers and make a decision tomorrow if he wanted to." Well, why hasn't he done it yet? Isn't that something he could do from the privacy of his own home? Oh, let's not forget that aging hitter Frank Thomas made an appearance at the winter meetings last year to look for a job...and was offered one with the A's. We all know how that turned out. Somehow, I don't think things would be as fortuitous with Bonds. I'd have a smidge more respect for the guy if he would just admit that he was down there begging for a job. "Yeah, I don't know where I'm going or what I'm doing, that's why I'm here." Is that so hard? Everyone knows he's washed up; sure, he could squeeze out 22 more home runs but that's about it. And he wants $18 million for that? Is he crazy?
Kudos to Bridget for alerting me to Giant Magazine's 50 Greatest Commercials of the '80s. Yes, you can relive the ads for Freedom Rock, Legos (Zack the Legomaniac), Popples, Bonkers, and My Buddy. Hey, there's even a He-Man Big Wheel ad! (All right, it's "Masters of the Universe Mighty Cycle." Same diff.) Jesus, there's even a commercial for "Small Wonder." What a freaky-ass show that was. I think my sister had a crush on the kid in that syndicated piece of crap.

As Sens fan I am disappointed by the whining.
Thanks for the link to the Giant Magazine feature. There are some good ones in there, but I can't help feeling it's not so much a comprehensive list of the top 50, as it is, the 50 ones they could find fastest on youtube.
That annoying string cheese commercial wasn't even in there.
