Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria!

You know what's lost in the recent Jeff Cowan love-in? That he was claimed off waivers from the Kings. By my count, since the end of last season, we've given the Los Angeles franchise Marc Crawford, his hair, Dan Cloutier, Cloutier's injury history, Cloutier's goaltending prowess, two second rounders & a fourth rounder in 2007 and a conditional one in 2009. In return, we've filled the Crawford void with a coach that's tapping talent left and right, normal coaching hair, a normal blood pressure for Ironman Brendan Morrison, no freakish goals from the opposing team dumping the puck, Brent Sopel, and Brent Sopel's hair. And, of course, the Cowman. Not too bad at all.

Also, since when did throwing bras become a thing to do? And how come this never happens at games I go to? Damn devils fans are too tame and Rangers fans, well, those men need their bras for lower back support so I don't want them hurting themselves. As Kramer says, “No, no, a bra is for ladies. Meet the Bro!”

By the way, how nice was it to see a 60 minute solid effort? Sedin nets his career high in goals, Smoke gets his first as a Canuck in what seems to have been a magical "how the hell did that go in?" goal, Cowan keeps rolling and Luongo ties McLean's record (golly I like being timely). All the while that Minnesota gets shut out at home? Beautiful.

Some parting shots:

Bulis did play well. If he and Nazzy can gel together, that's a speedy line.

Your crack at the expense of Rangers fans is classic. But the real icing on this post was the label category: Cowan Eats Glass for Lunch.

Disappointed you spelled it wrong, however. :)

Go Cowman!

I was at that game! (But not my bra.) I have a feeling that if you're attending a game at any point this season, there's going to be a bra or two out there. The Tampa game has opened doors, as they say.

I just realised how bad that sounded. By 'not my bra' I meant 'my bra wasn't the one being thrown on the ice.' Though that bra was a lovely shade of blue.

Wow, Isabella! It's all coming together now. You trend setter you...actually, this makes me think now. Knowing bras come off if he scores, you think Mo and Cooke will keep passing to him on purpose? I would...but then again, I'm a sick human being.
