All We Do Is Put Wins In The Record Book: Panthers vs Thrashers

Welcome to the Charlie Sheen edition of Getting Pucks Deep! Why? Well DUH! Charlie Sheen and hockey go together like Charlie Sheen and porn stars. Be sure and have the Cup tested!



I'm going to try hard to get it out of my system in this post. I will beat a meme to death if I'm not careful.
Check Spelling
At the game I had my signs. In non-Sheen related news, I had a sign for Burmistrov who was finally back on the ice.






This was also on the glass during warm ups Saturday. Someone left it on the glass in club. Bad form. Make a sign saying whatever you want, you bought a ticket. If you are taking a dig at someone, have the balls to stand with the sign. It’s hard to see from here but it is a dating profile from Anthony Stewart at "Plenty of Fish." Don’t know if it’s real or not. At the bottom it says “enuff scoring on land…score on the ice!” The guys were giving him hell about it. Buff skated out, saw it and started laughing.





The guys giving Anthony shit about his sign.





Alex is checking out the sign I made him. Tim is dumbfounded by the bi-winning nature of my Sheen signs.





Stuart taking a break. Our old friend, Marty Reasoner, cruises around in the back.





Dvorak looks pretty excited about taking on his old team.





New Thrasher, Blake Wheeler. We need him and we need his wisdom and his bitchin'-ness."





Evander chewing his gum.





Nik might need a trim. The wings are little long.





I felt bad because Pavs was back after injury, too and I had no sign! Sorry Pavs! I didn't know. I wonder how he came back from that wrist injury so soon. I bet he closed his eyes and made it so with the power of his mind.





So many people hate on Johnny. I think he's an awesome Dman. When he goofs up, he's usually skilled enough to fix it. I think playing with Stuart now people will see that he is actually a good player. He wins so radically in his underwear before his first cup of coffee, it's scary.





Randy and I were originally up in our favorite spot in 303 when Thrash came and upgraded us to 113. He's a good bird!





We are up in Vokoun's grill early. Vokoun has a 10,000-year-old brain and the boogers of a 7-year-old.





This is fail on several fronts. First of all, not only is it a fake, it's a bad fake. Wanna get knock off? Fine, get one that is in the same realm of blue. This one is just awful and I've seen a lot of them around the arena. Funny enough they are all Byfuglien jerseys. Also...tucked in??? I know it's the south but damn. Don't tuck your jersey in. If you wear this once, you will die. Your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded body.



Hainsey keeping those nasty Panthers out of our zone.



This is something you never want to see, or maybe you are sick and do want to see it. I will say in all of the games I've been to, this is the first time I've seen someone get struck in the head with a puck. It was pretty scary. The people near him were waving down the ushers and EMT. One of the trainers on the bench threw a towel over to them. He was able to walk up the stairs, so I guess that's a good thing!



Hainsey doing his customary pre 3rd period stretch. It's the first time I've been in front of him doing it. He smiled at the kids on the front and took off like a flash. You can't process Hainsey with a normal brain.



Wheeler is the man! He obviously has Adonis DNA. He hasn't been subjected to the culture of LOSE long enough. We'll suck that out of him soon.



Toby finds a place to put his helmet while fixing his hair.



Buff comes behind the net while Vokoun takes a stroll.



All manner of chaos in front of Vokoun.



This is a shitty picture of Bryan Little almost getting a goal. Everyone thought it went in. It actually rolled right down the red line. You can see Mr. Fred's amazing sequence of the events here: http://fans.thrashers.nhl.com/community/topic/16985-if-any-of-you-dont-think-that-little-is-snakebitten/



Twenty five seconds into over time, Captain Ladd sticks one in the net and Thrashers win!!



Home win with no travel = poorly lit, behind glass post game show guest! Tonight is one of the newest Thrashers and totally bitching rock star from Mars, Blake Wheeler!



Blake talked with the guys for a while and answered questions before heading out to meet the fans.



People of Blueland are not limited to the arena! This lady in front of me was getting on my nerves big time. First of all she was puffing away on one of those e-cigg things. I don't know what the tobacco ration is, but she smoked the equivalent of like 35 cigarettes with it. I think she was q bit tipsy, her speech was slurred. She took 100 pictures of Dan Kamak, John Kincade and the audio techs with her shitty camera phone. Then she got up and announced loudly "I gotta pee" and stumbled off.

Thrashers vs Panthers: The Circus Sucks Edition

Thanks to the circus, the Thrashers had been out of town for about 12 days. Not only does the circus rob me of hockey to watch, it robs animals of their health, sanity and dignity. It’s not the 1800s. Find a new form of family fun that doesn’t involve elephants wearing tutus. At least in zoos the animals have some sort of habitat and aren’t dragged around the country in freight cars to perform humiliating tasks for kicks of people. That’s just the performing aspect of it! Behind the scenes animals are beaten, abused and killed all for the sake of money. I hate the circus. Remember last year when the circus was in town? One of their zebras got loose and was running on the downtown connector. It was kind of funny until you heard what happened to the zebra, they euthanized him. The poor things hooves were so damaged, they had to put him down. BASTARDS! Circuses are no fun for animals!



I usually am not a fan of PETA. I think they are a bit extreme on a lot of issues. but they have some good information if you are interested. And, for the record, yes I’m a hypocrite. I do eat meat. Guess everyone has to have some cause, lol. I’ll eat them, but not watch them ride tricycles. If you’d like to check out some issues with the circus, you can go to the following link. Okay, off of the soap box!

Okay, on to the hockey! The Thrashers were coming home after being away due to the damn circus. The Florida Panthers were in town to kick off this 5 game home stand. Also in town were our new guys, Blake Wheeler and Mark Stuart. We acquired these guys in a trade with Boston in which we sent them Rich Peverley and my beloved Slovakian, Boris Valabik.


Our new Dman, #5 Mark Stuart, brother of one of my favorite former Thrashers, Collin Stuart. Also pictured is #26, Blake Wheeler. Of course I had a sign welcoming them to Blueland.



Toby checking out my sign.



Boys will be boys.



Pavs chatting with Step.



Wheeler wondering what he's gotten himself into.



Hainsey clears the net.



It's Mardi Gras! Boulton tosses over some pucks.



Stuie 2 looks a good bit like his brother.



I took this picture right after Buff had elbowed the glass. Mini fan doesn't look impressed.



Swarming the goalie.



Action in front of Pavs.



Toby trying to keep Bernier from causing problems for us.



There were a few good anti-spirit signs at the game.



Unfortunately for Pavs, he tweaked his wrist in the first period and Chris Mason had to come in for relief.



Mason gets a drink.



Our old friend, Marty Reasoner in the middle of the scrum. Unfortunately Marty scored on us.



Baby Cup Guy rallies the fans.



Byfuglien hustles for the puck.



Another game NOT won in regulation. OT did no good either and we went to a shoot out. A shoot out against Tomas Vokoun. Awesome. As you can see from these fans reactions, we did not win.


Mason actually played pretty good in the shoot out, but when you have Vokoun on the other end, you have to be better than pretty good. Another loss in Blueland.

Panthers on the Prowl: Atlanta vs Florida

Is there anything more exciting than Florida coming to town on a Wednesday night?? Well, you could watch paint dry! Seriously though, NHL hockey is always a good thing!


Jimmy is supporting Movember. Porn star? Super Mario? Slap shot? You decide the joke.



Mason watching the guys warm up.



Buff: Watchoo talkin bout, Stewie?



Why so serious, Sopes?



Burmistrov looks like he's asking Pevs something, then whining "why not?!?!"



Baby Burmi going for the puck.



Sorry Buff, when you open your eyes, you'll still be in Atlanta.



Two of Atlanta's big bodies, Buff and Antro.



Swarming the goalie.



Zach sporting his Movember stache.



Opening face off. Our old friend Marty Reasoner in the face off circle.



Normally I'd be pulling for Vokoun, he's on my fantasy team.



Slater and his bad ass stache in front of the net.



Sopel and Johnny in front of the net.



Stewie and Weaver having some words.



Improve that save percentage baby! I need the numbers.



Apparently Slater really REALLY missed Marty!



The game was pretty much shit, but this was one of the most amazing things I've seen to date in Blueland. Chris Thorburn took a puck to the foot or somewhere on his leg. He laid on the ice for a few seconds writhing in pain, then got up. You could clearly tell he was in a lot of pain. He got back up and stayed with his man. He refused to go to the bench even though he was injured because he knew that it would leave the team vulnerable. The team couldn't clear the puck, Thor stayed on the ice, even attempting to block another shot. WARRIOR! That kind of play is inspiring. When he was finally able to come off the ice, he got a standing ovation, pretty good coming from a crowd who barely cheers for goals.



Somewhere back there is Vokoun!



Pavs trying to see around the 289 people in front of him.



Johnny defends the zone.



Vokoun kicks out a shot.



Laddy getting up in Vokoun's business.



Vokoun getting a drink. Come on Vokoun, let one it! I'll even forego my fantasy team for the love of the Thrashers.



I love how Vokoun is trying to peak out.



Vokoun tries to push Stewie out of the way.



Florida wins. Booo.


Bogosian scored a goal, but it wasn't enough. Thrashers go down 2 to 1.
