Snarks On Ice: The NHL Roundup

By oddJoe ⋅ December 11, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Wild 2, Flyers 3
In the penalty box: me, for being the first on oddsnark to mention the Duke-UT game. Man, did those Longhorns get slapped around or what?
Panthers 1, Kings 3
In the penalty box: me again, being the first on oddsnark to mention that Vince Young lost out to Reggie Bush for the Heisman Trophy. […]

Red Wings 4, Capitals 3
In the penalty box: Washington coach Glen Hanlon, for these postgame comments: “We played great from start to finish…These guys are great. They make me smile, even in defeat. I can hardly wait until we start winning these games.” You can hardly wait? Just think how Capitals fans must feel.
Blue […]

Mighty Ducks 2, Sabres 3, OT
In the penalty box: Cher, for a lot of reasons. But for our purposes, for recording “Believe,” the top song of 1999, which was the last time Buffalo lost to the Might Be Might Not Be Mighty Ducks.
Oilers 3, Flyers 2
In the penalty box: sports hernias, for being all […]

Predators 5, Capitals 2
In the penalty box: Beltway politics as usual, because when the fat cats in Washington win, we all lose.
Flames 4, Devils 1
In the penalty box: losing on the road. Calgary won three of five during its week-long road adventure and improved to 7-7-2 away from home.
Rangers 1, Blackhawks 2, OT
In […]

Flames 0, Flyers 1, SO
In the penalty box: the over.
Kings 2, Maple Leafs 1
In the penalty box: Ed Belfour. His Terry Sawchuk curse continues.
Devils 2, Red Wings 5
In the penalty box: Celine Dion, for warbling “My Heart Will Go On,” the theme to Titanic and the most popular song of 1998. That same […]

Senators 6, Panthers 3
In the penalty box: defenseman Steve Montador, for getting yourself traded to Florida. Not sure what you did to piss people off in Calgary, but don’t do it again.
Wild 1, Rangers 3
In the penalty box: the official scorer, for robbing Jagr of a goal he clearly scored and crediting the shot […]

Islanders 2, Red Wings 1
In the penalty box: Prince, for still partying like it’s 1999, which was the last time Detroit lost at home to the Islanders.
Sabres 6, Avalanche 4
In the penalty box: Colorado University football coach Gary Barnett, for having the cojones to ask for a contract extension after his team lost their […]

Gambling with Johnny: NFL Longshot Weekend

By oddSeth ⋅ December 4, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Every now and then I get a wild hair and focus on ML longshots for a weekend, especially if I think there are some potentially juicy games. Can’t say I necessarily recommend this approach, but it do be fun, as far as rooting for longshots with big potential payoffs.
(If you’re looking to be smart and […]

Wild 2, Devils 3, SO
In the penalty box: bridesmaids, for not being the bride.
Rangers 1, Capitals 5
In the penalty box: tea leaves, as in any prognostication method would have foretold a victory by red-hot New York. What an upset.
Sharks 5, Maple Leafs 4
In the penalty box: Ed Belfour, for losing his last two […]

Kings 1, Senators 5
In the penalty box: absolute monarchies, for asserting total and complete control over a people. (We’re looking at you Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, and Brunei.) Democracy and representative government are the way to go.
Blackhawks 2, Lightning 3, SO
In the penalty box: winning, for being overrated. Glad to see Chicago and Tampa resisted […]
