RD2 GM5 05/11 vs Kraken (8:50PM CT) - TEXAS STYLE BBQ CALAMARI

[Knives Out]

My thread title is making Robo salivate LOL.

[Troy McClure]

There is a convoluted visual joke you could make here with an image of him at a power skating class where a stick is attached to his helmet with some ribs dangling in front of him.

[Math]

According to Saad, Robertson is not playing injured. So if he finally catches fire and score a hattie, we can dismiss that assumption.

Hakanpää, Dell'Andrea and Marchment are all game-time decisions. Hope Dell'Andrea and Hakanpää are neighbors in the locker room.

[Knives Out]

I'd like to believe Saad, but publically announcing an injury to target because it's the playoffs is not a smart move LOL.

[B Kat]

Seemed like Marchment was hit in the head, so with concussion protocol it's not likely he would be a game time decision.

Actually I took a shot asking and he answered me lol. Or the other way around: we announce publicly that he's injured, just to lower the Kraken's guard and catch them by surprise.

Yeah, only Hakanpää was part of the morning skate, which is kinda worrying.

This may be the biggest game in NHL history. Don't want to go back to Seattle down 3-2.

[Knives Out]

Or do we?

[dyhp]

If the stars get a two goal lead going into the 3rd... maybe Dallas should just keep Seattle on the power play for the rest of the game. Seattle is much less scary when they have the man advantage.

[dyhp]

Or do we?

nah.

[Troy McClure]

Or do we?

nah.

Have to break this every other game pattern.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

Anybody else sometimes get worked up by these late game and don't get much sleep?

[dyhp]

Yes. Despite it starting around 7pm here. Sucks for you guys.

[SaintAngerBH]

These games basically start at 10pm for me, so yes lol

[Troy McClure]

From the Ticket: when a series is tied 2-2, the winner of game five ultimately has won the series 79% of the time.

No pressure.

I'm already in ET zombie mode. Trying to recover when Stars are not playing but other teams are playing, so I accept my fate lol.

Yeah, I’d heard that recently. Last game was pretty important too, teams down 3-1 also have next to no chance of winning the series.

Yes. But I'll be playing Zelda tonight instead of just drunkenly re-watching Aunty Donna and I Think You Should Leave sketches.

Have a good-but-cautious feeling about tonight. At this point we should try anything to unleash Robo. So if I somehow have been the keeper of his playoff ability this entire time, I'd like to formally release Fat Hapa. May you love it when we call you that multiple times this evening.

Opposite for me. After taking last year and this entire regular season off from watching I’m not super invested. I’ve been watching the playoffs mostly to be social with you guys honestly.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

I’m mostly here for the white women.

[Archangel972]

While I want the Stars to avoid taking careless penalties, I would like to seem them try to antagonize Grubauer and make him go into a "Crazy Eddie" meltdown mode.

[SaintAngerBH]

I’m mostly here for the white women.

I like the drugs.

[SaintAngerBH]

Of course the put the *fargin'* thing on TruTV. Can't put it on ESPN or even ESPNU. Gotta put it on the most obscure channel possible to force people to pay extra.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

I've literally never heard of that channel.

[dyhp]

Pretty sure game 6 in round 1 started on TruTV

[The Frugal Gourmet]

Must not be a local thing

[Knives Out]

Let’s gooooo

[SaintAngerBH]

Pretty sure game 6 in round 1 started on TruTV

Yeah but that made more sense because there were twice as many games on. They could easily shove it on an ESPN or something.

No matter. I found another free trial for this one lol.

TNT and TBS are sister stations are they not? So what does TBS have going on that prevents them from putting the game on there?

The Big Bang Theory. One of the least funny shows I've ever watched.
