7:14 p.m. - My little brother speaks up, "What about Comrie?" Shut up, you little twerp. Yes it's true, Mike Comrie also went to Michigan. He is one of two people on this earth that I hate, despite the fact that they went to college in Ann Arbor.

7:20 p.m. - The Guinness Proposition 3-17 commercial airs for the first time in the game. I love this one. "I HAVE FLOATS! I'M A BIG DEAL!" I agree wholeheartedly that St. Patrick's Day should be a National holiday. If we ever see this in our lifetime, expect it to officially surpass the Super Bowl and New Year's Eve as the best drinking day of the year.

7:23 p.m. - Flyers coach John Stevens looks like either an evil genius or the nerd that shoots up the whole school. Wow, it really sucks that this is a relevant reference thanks to all the crazies pumping others with lead on campuses across America lately.

7:25 p.m. - Comrie gets a face full of glove from Kimmo Timonen. After a bit of wrestling, the officials jump in to prevent anything further. Color commentator Billy Jaffe claims "Comrie would've been happy to drop the gloves." I'm not so sure.
Jaffe is the other Michigan alum I loathe. He was actually captain of Red Berenson's crew in 1992. Gross. Anyways, both parties got two minutes for roughing.

7:30 p.m. - I keep trying to decide who I want to win. If the Flyers win, the Isles' season is pretty much over since then they'd be seven points behind Philly. But the Flyers would be only one point behind the Rangers again. Hm, still deciding.

7:34 p.m. - If you took Sloth from The Goonies, styled and parted his hair, shrunk him about two feet and put a scarf around his neck, you'd get Danny Briere.

7:38 p.m. - Ryan Hollweg's asthma commercial airs. I've more or less memorized it by now. I'm not necessarily proud of that.

7:40 p.m. - Nice save by Martin Biron on Sean Bergenheim. Bergenheim's been the Isles' only decent player this week. I just laughed again. Two. He had a goal in each game against the Rangers, and the only one on Thursday (though he had to bank it off two defensemen to even get it past Lundqvist).

7:41 p.m. - Ms. Kaufman will be talking in between periods. That gives me something to look forward to other than 20 more minutes of bad hockey.

7:42 p.m. - Camera focuses on Mike Comrie during a stoppage of play. He always looks so pissed off. It pisses me off. If I were in charge of the arena music, I would play a steady dose of Good Charlotte at whistles just for him.

7:44 p.m. - 0-0 after the first. Shots are 10-6 Islanders, though the play has been relatively even. Jaffe calls it "a good road period." I agree. Nothing impressive, but nothing bad either.

7:45 p.m. - Oh no, Stan Fischler. This intermission is going to be more painful than my splitting headache.
I got a text message from my friend the other day that read "Doesn't Stan Fischler look like the old drunk guy from Big Daddy
