7:53 p.m. - I missed Butch Goring's analysis of the period searching restlessly for Sudafed and something to get my head to stop pulsating. I usually don't like to take too many pills for minor stuff. But lately, it feels like I've got more pills in me than Heath Ledger.
Thank God for TiVo. I went back to see Deb going over the particulars of the Islanders' newest gimmick to get people to come pay to see them play, the 2-Year Loyalty Season Ticket Plan. You're kidding me, right? You get a price that's locked for two years at the current price AND premium parking for all five remaining home games in addition to next year! Not to mention, you get 12 1/2% off the face value for next year's tickets. Not a bad deal, but let's face it. The only way you're going to get people to come see you on a regular basis (outside of binge-drinking Hofstra students that can pay $16 and still get free parking across the street) is to win.
Sure, maybe you'll get just enough people to buy this package to make it sound like a mild success, but unless you make the playoffs, it's not going to amount to anything.
8:01 p.m. - Al Trautwig takes a shot at the Isles saying they need a deflection to beat Marty Biron, just like they did with Henrik Lundqvist. He's right.
8:03 p.m. - Back to the game. My TiVo is fast forwarded to the current action.
8:04 p.m. - Penalty to Trent Hunter for slashing. Probably a "marginal call" like Jaffe demands.
8:05 p.m. - DP takes a bad tripping penalty. Even I think it should've been a dive. Philly's awarded with 1:31 of 5-on-3 power play time.
8:06 p.m. - Danny "Sloth" Briere scores on a pinball open net goal in front. Braydon Coburn got an assist as he fanned on a shot from the point. The Flyers still have a man advantage for 1:43.
