NOW WHERE WERE WE?

OH, HI AGAIN / MEMBA ME?! / BNN

THE FIVE HOLE
1. Tiberius is off to a very strong start, doing his best to squash the Sophomore Slump fears. He’s 14th in the league in save percentage, 11th in goals against average, and 5th in wins.
2. I’d love to see the defense begin to get involved in the offense. Not to say that they’re slacking, but with the forwards firing how they are — imaging adding a constant scoring threat from the blueline.
3. Johan Franzen got his 100th goal in the last game, and maybe that’s just the thing he needs to get rolling. I’d love to see a point-per-game from the man more than capable of it.
4. Todd Bertuzzi is third in the NHL in +/-. You heard me.
5. Win this one for my good buddy Clay, who’s in attendance tonight.
WHAT WE LEARNED AGAINST THE OILERS
You know who should probably keep running his mouth instead of letting his team do the talking?
My primary concern is that nobody besides me is going to appreciate the title of this post.
Oh man, I missed this prior to the game, but I think this is my all time favorite.
For the longest time I thought it was, “dirty deeds, THUNDERCHIEF.” I was like, this Thunderchief fellow is one badass dude. He would shiv a motherfucker like it ain’t no thang.
Oh, and I also thought that song, Like a G6 was saying “like a cheesesticks.” And I was all like, that’s kind of weird. What on earth would make you feel like a cheesestick. And is this like a string cheese stick or a fried mozzarella stick. Either way it doesn’t make sense. You might as well say you feel like cheez whiz. You know what? I could really go for some cheese right now. Later like a cheesesticks.
I’m pretty sure that I could get behind Bertuzzi’s new nickname around these parts being “Thunderchief.”
Word?
Double word. Bertuzzi will always be my Thunderchief.
