What a GREAT game! I missed the national anthems :( ...I wish I had taped this one! My aunt came over to watch and she kept telling me, "They're gonna score..just watch, they're gonna score!" And every time she said this, they did! :o She predicted that they'd have a 4th goal (I didn't believe her LOL) but it turned out she was right and now I'm convinced she's psychic. :lol:

I'm not a big fan of Stephen Harper but that was pretty cool he was at the game! :D

Edmonton is REALLY beating the odds here. Carolina played so crappily...they just blew a 3-1 lead in the series. :blink: Edmonton made about twice as many shots on goal.

On a superficial note..I always thought Ethan Moreau was a nice-looking guy but when they were interviewing him at the end, me, my mom, and my aunt were gushing over how hot he was. :rolleyes: And everytime they panned to MacTavish, my aunt would claim that he was her boyfriend. :lol:

Man..I can still hear the cheering in the streets! I'm soo glad I'm not scheduled to work Monday!

:o Your brother is REALLY lucky! What school does he go to? My cousin was telling me yesterday that a teacher at her school's husband is Pisani's cousin! :o

When I'm listening to the radio...it's so easy for me to turn away from it and not pay attention..especially if they're losing a game..lol. Watching on TV is a whole other experience..I feel like I'm glued to it during every second. :lol:

Come on you have to call in sick!! It's freakin GAME 7! GAME 7!! lol

I'm watching the games on NBC. Mike Emrick, John Davidson, and Pierre McGuire are really good. Pierre's "behind the glass" is so neat because he tells us what's happening and who's saying what on the players bench. It's really insightful.

I don't think they're pro Carolina. Pierre McGuire is a Canadian and also works for TSN, and I know he's rooting for Edmonton (of course he's partial during the broadcast).

:(

Edmonton had a great run and I want to thank them and the Carolina Hurrincanes for a great playoff season.

I still get chills when "We are the champions" is playing and the players raises the cup and kiss it. God I love this game.

Canada should be proud of Edmonton and thegreat Canadian players on Carolina like Eric Staal, Cam Ward, Rod Brind'Amour, Mark Recchi. Can't wait to see Staal and Ward represent Canada at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver.

Congrats to Carolina!!

Two things that the Oilers messed up on today:

1) Samsonov being open to shoot but instead passes behind him! :angry:

2) Not shooting during the 2-man advantage..you can't score if you don't shoot!

Aww, man...I'm so depressed (it's a Cinderella story with a tragic ending!) but at the same time, I'm just so proud that the Oilers beat the odds and made it this far. I remember back when I thought for sure they'd get squashed by Detroit and even now during this series thinking they couldn't win another game being down 3-1 in the series. The fans have also been amazing. They've been behind this team 100%...even though they've lost, there's still some honking going on in the streets.

Hopefully, we can keep as many of our players as we can so we can give it another shot next year. Congrats to Carolina for a great series...it's been one hell of a rollercoaster. :)

    • I wish the Black male characters felt more fleshed out (and I’m not talking about gross 2000s-style man pain like with Jonathan Randall or Billy Abbott). I feel like we don’t have as much access to their interior worlds, which—fine—female genre. Right now, the balance on BTG feels off to me gender-wise, mostly because there are a lot of Dupree daughters (Chelsea, Naomi, Dani, Nicole, Kat, possibly Eva) and only one son (Martin). Feel free to disagree. I think Andre, Bill, and Martin feel closest to male “main characters” to me (Jacob had his quick moment), in that they can drive a scene from their POV and not as a supporting character. I’m waiting for the secrets to be fully revealed so that the men can show more layers. But things like having two cheating husbands stand out more in this type of environment.
    • I'll get back to you when Jordan appears on screen. Lol!  
    • Don't feel bad: most do. I know it's in the "less than" category of opinions. And lunch? What's for lunch today?

       Definitely am improvement overall, hah. I want someone to call him "bastard". Ha. Maybe I should sneak into Port Charles for a second.
    • A very underrated writer/director, IMO.  Of course, not all of his films were successful or memorable, but the ones that are - "Kramer," "Places in the Heart," "Nobody's Fool," etc. - are masterpieces.
    • I tend to ignore the fact you like Tanisha Harper.  She just blends in.  When she comes on screen I literally mind drift and think what I want for lunch. Melgar's Lily at least iconically blew up!!!  And once you know she's going to explode LM is tolerable in rewatch. It's coming!!  Half the young people in town call him "Uncle Sonny" or, well, "Dad" lol.  You know Emma's going to be on that bandwagon. 
    • Jennifer Brooks had insisted that life go on since all her family knew that death might be eminent for her. Brock had given them a philosophy by which to live. "God grant me the serenity to accept that which I cannot change, the courage to change that which I am able and the wisdom to know the difference." Lorie asked her father to let her give a big party for the family and friends to celebrate her parents' thirtieth wedding an-niversary. He disapproved until Lorie said this was not a reminder of how little time there was, but a celebration of the life they had had together. Jennifer was pleased and looked forward to the party.  That evening, Stuart gave Jennifer her anniversary gift before the party rather than after. It was a diamond heart pendant to symbolize the heart he gave her long ago — his own. Lance and Lorie gave them a trip to Paris as a gift. Stuart had wanted to take Jennifer away, but she wouldn't leave the girls with their problems. The party was such a success that Jennifer told Stuart that this had been the most wonderful night of her life. Jennifer slipped away in Stuart's arms that night, clutching her pendant.  Stuart called Lorie who located all her sisters and asked them to meet at their parents'. He explained that their mother felt no pain and was happy as she passed peacefully away. Peggy felt she should have been home for her mother rather than visiting a friend, but Stuart said it was sudden. Lorie blamed herself for giving the party which was probably too much. Stuart told her how much that party meant to Jennifer. Brock came by to tell them that Jennifer had him draw up instructions for her burial and wanted only her family with her. He also had a letter for Stuart. She wrote him this love letter in case she didn't have the opportunity to tell him in person how much their life together had meant to her and this is why she wanted him to remarry.  Snapper visited his mother after he learned of Jennifer's death. He felt he hadn't seen enough of her recently.  After the funeral, Peggy told her sisters that she would not be going away to school. She was the only one left to care for their father because Chris and Lorie had husbands and Leslie had a career. Stuart insisted that Peggy finish packing and catch her plane to school as planned.  Chris was worried about her father after Snapper told her to keep an eye on him because grieving husbands could become ill as they didn't remember to eat. She called to insist that she was coming over to fix his dinner and found that Liz was there. Liz asked him for an extra key so that she could do the laundry and cleaning to repay him for earlier kindnesses.
    • I would assume "friends of Ripa" would come into play.

    • I'm aware of that but I was more curious about which characters were going to be included and what actors they were loooking at.
    • Harper > Melgar (yes, I said it) I happen to be in the lonely camp of actually liking Harper as Jordan, although I still believe Jordan, as a character, could easily be eliminated from the canvas, and I would be A-OK with it. Honestly, the character of Jordan went from interesting to expendable the moment she was taken out of the Jerome circle and made a law enforcement agent. I'm not age-shaming Finola Hughes either. It simply comes down to the characters at this point. To go from interacting with David Hayward and Edmund on AMC to Jason and Sonny on GH... is an actual choice. Hell, I'd even add Valentin to that list.
