He does not lead in any of the following career stats: Wins. Shutouts. Save Percentage. G.A.A. Stanley Cups won. Vezinas won. Don't get me wrong, he's a legitimate top 5, but he's certainly not on the level of Roy or Sawchuk.

YES! Thank you! Don't tell me that Dibiase is disparaging Santa Claus!

You mean to Sean Avery? Hart: Crosby over Luongo and LeCav Norris: Lidstrom in a walk. Vezina: Luongo over Brodeur and Lundqvist. Angle, I've been trying to convince Baron of that all season. If the Norris were based on proficient powerplay quarterbacking, then Bryan McCabe would have w....nope, I can't even finish that statement.

No, he's not the best ever, but it's tough to not put him top 5, or at the very least, top 10. Hasek and Belfour could also make that statement. I give the nod to Brodeur for the Vezina. Who do you guys like as the Hart nominees? Its Crosby's, of course, but do Luongo and Brodeur get the nod as the other two? How bout Lidstrom? Hossa? I tend to not say Heatley, as Ottawa is a deep enough team (same with any on Buffalo and Nashville to a lesser extent).

Not that I disagree with you, Leena (by the way, Princess Leanne was the name of a spam webcam girl I got in my email today), but I think its brutally overlooked that Faldo shot a 67 on Masters Sunday when playing with Norman. Don't get me wrong, Norman collapsed, but I still think Faldo deserves more credit than does, say, Pawl Lawrie.

If there's an undoing to Pittsburgh in the playoffs, and that's a big if, it's experience. You can make the case it's been addressed with Roberts, but goaltending is huge. Thibault does have three times in the first round (Chicago in '02, and the Habs in 96 and 97), but not a serious dent. And I'd take the bet that Fleury still hasn't recovered from the 2004 World Juniors. Again, that's still a huge if.

I'm conflicted over that. They've played decent against the Pens this year, but not great. The series would be exciting as fuck, though.

My bad. It is indeed Major Meltdowns, not Masters as I originally said. I'm astonished I missed Norman, but I still give the nod to Van de Velde. Hoch should make top 10, but I doubt top 3. Let's go with Van de Velde, Norman, Phil as 1-2-3.

We're god damn close to the Masters, and I'm getting anxious as fuck. To ease that pain, Top Shelf Wednesdays on the Golf Channel is offering, tonight, 97 Masters Highlights. Tiger, of course, won by a million, but this is where he first became a household name to people who didn't follow golf. I actually had this tape, it was on sale at a variety store in 2000 for 99 cents. Also, I'm pretty intrigued by what will follow at 10 pm "The Top Ten Masters Meltdowns". I'm calling for Van de Velde to eke out a win over Phil last year. By the way, we should get a pool going on how many highlights we'll be seeing of Van de Velde between now and July, with the Open Championship returning to Carnoustie.

Dan Cloutier is gone, and that's roughly 2/3 the battle. Luongo's never been, but he's performed in big games before (see the 2004 World Cup).

Confirmed. The Habs win over the Rangers is MONSTER, and to a lesser extent, the Devils over the Isles is also helpful. The teams in 9, 10, and 11 all have one game at hand on teams 6,7,8.

There's absolutely nothing not to like about McCarty beating the tar out of Claude Lemieux.

I'd been making a kind-of half-assed one for a while now, in which I'd use pre-shredded chicken breasts, throw em in the slow-cooker with a diced onion and green pepper, cover all that in spaghetti sauce and cook it for 8 hours or so. I'd cover it with shredded cheddar or parmesan before tossing it on top of a pasta; First date is looming and she had mentioned her favourite food was pasta, so I thought this was a pretty good first-date meal to make. It gets a little boring though, so I was wondering if anyone had any ideas to mix it up (different spices, pasta, etc.)

Aw that sucks, dude. What happened? Just friends. It's all good though.

Because Jesus wants you to put off a day of celebration of him for golf. I'm not even going to attempt to explain how great a tournament the Masters is to someone who, (presumably), doesn't follow golf. It's pointless, I can't put into words the unique candour of this tournament.

Not to mention the 40 cakes. And that's terrible! It reminded me of "And that's no good" from the Sonic/Luger YTNMD.

I had planned on sort of combining Marv's suggestions with my current recipe (adding the wine and basil, for example), just to ensure I wouldnt screw things up on our first date. But the date's off, so I'm likely gonna try Marvin's recipe from the ground-up on Tuesday night.

My brother told me a story a few weeks ago, which took place in the summer of 2005 when I was living with him (I'd completely forgotten the incident until he regaled me): I was on my computer, he was going through some songs on my Xbox. When he found Gimme Shelter, he paused, looked at me and said "I didn't know you liked that song!" He said that I looked like I wanted to smack him I was so aghast. Tied for my favourite song ever, with Johnny Under by Clarknova.

Im the only person alive who legitimately likes that song.

As much as I love innuendo, Lex Luthor stole that show.

For (estimated) Time #245,630, we've doubted Tiger over a hiccup, and he's said "take that!" right after. Up by four at Doral over Wetterich and Nick O Hern.

Buddy of mine came over on the grounds that he watched the entire Sabres game before we hit the bar. He said "Fuck it, it's 4-1, let's go". It was 5-4 when we got to the bar, and our cab driver was bragging the whole time about how quickly he could get us there.

I'll second that, as well as Enemy by Godsmack, Always/Superstar/Ladies and Gentleman by Saliva, and Cocky by Kid Rock (which was '02 Royal Rumble, to answer the question of earlier). It's hardly my favourite, but the cheesy song from Superstars 96 deserves a mention..."Welllll Mankind, Undertaker, Shawn Michaels Heartbreaker. Bret Hart show them how, Uh-oh here comes Vader now".

A bottle of beer, being drank off a set of tits. Assuming I can't use that answer(and I really shouldnt be able to), I'd love a couple pieces of fried chicken.
