His name is Mud.

I thought Isiah Thomas drove the AHL into the ground already.

Ah yes. Ryan Potulny. Nice to see a former Golden Gopher doing well.

@Afino: Not to be confused with Bill or Jack or Pete or Dennis.

/Primus fan

@Afino: It had to be. Aloysius Devadander Abercrombie Bruneteau would have been tough to fit on a trading card.

What a maroon.

-Bugs Bunny

After the game, the River Rats went out cow tipping.

Oh wait, you mean just because they're Carolina's affiliate doesn't mean they do that stuff too? Damn.

Leighton Meester > Michael Leighton

But yeah, 98 saves is pretty fuckin' impressive.

Yes, but could he stop the knuckle-puck?

Why would he stop at 98 saves? There's a good chance that, had he sucked it up and gone for 99, his team would have won.

This game has taken its toll on me.-maroon5nerd

98 saves > 96 tears

+1 to those goalies....
I can't imagine playing that many OTs....

@UkraineNotWeak: Kaz Matsui's anus concurs.

How many fucking shots did they give up if this guys making 98 saves.

I love overtime playoff hockey.

@UkraineNotWeak: That's a tough call there because "?" was The Artist Formerly Known as Prince before The Artist Formerly Known as Prince was The Artist Formerly Known as Prince. I'm just sayin...

Sadly, children cried themselves to sleep that night all over Albany.

But hey! A Philly team is on pace to win a title!

@CIALIS COOPER: Fan Nation'd?

@dont-forget-where-you-came-from-cheese mac: 101?

@dont-forget-where-you-came-from-cheese mac:

101. They had to roll back the shot counter to 0 because it didn't have 3 digits on it.

Little known fact*: "Philadelphia Phantoms" was the original working title for "The Sixth Sense."

*May not actually be true

Michael Leighton used to play for the Preds, he sucked.

@dont-forget-where-you-came-from-cheese mac:

Did you need to go on Facebook to have people do your math homework for you?

Next season, the River Rats plan on adding defensemen to their roster.

@illiniowl:
I thought the working title was "Bruce Willis's character is dead!"

I think he should have been allowed to slash his own defensemen after that.

Ben Affleck was the bomb on the Phantoms, yo.

@Afino:

"Oh wait, you mean just because they're Carolina's affiliate doesn't mean they do that stuff too? Damn."

We do that when we aren't shooting Thrashers down.

@OchentaYcinco: @Secret Identity:

@McCroskey:

Well, they have Jack Johnson and Anton Babchuk.

.....oh, wait. Both demanded trades, one got it, and the other is playing in Russia. More like Jim Rutherford needs to do a better job not pissing off talent.

The Philadelphia Phantom is when you sit on your hand for awhile and then manually relieve yourself. Ben Frankin invented it after he designed bifocals.

Remember when the Rats were good, and we got to see half the roster win rings with the Devils the next year? That was cool.

/Recalls the mid 90's
/Resumes ignoring the Rats.

@dont-forget-where-you-came-from-cheese mac: Boy that's more confusing than I anticipated.

Amended previous comment: Approximately 101?

@Afino: Eh, there's plenty of cows to be tipped in the greater Albany area as well.

@Afino: The Kings are terrible, but to equate it to playing in Russia is a little harsh.

@dont-forget-where-you-came-from-cheese mac:

Okay, technically "shot" is different in that it doesn't include shots that go wide or get blocked, but standard hockey lingo just refers to a team allowing X "shots", where X=shots on goal.

@Spaceman Bill Leah: It's actually a popular first date option around here.

forget it, Michael. It's Albany.

Why didn't Michael Leighton just go into his back room grotto and invoke the smoke monster if things becamed overwhelming?

/Linus'd

@blastitbiggs: Damnit! No Spoilers!

@Stev D: Are you sure it isn't when you sit on your hand until it's numb, and then then throw batteries at yourself?

Mike faced 98 rubbers and his defense ain't one.

/Hova'd

Should've been you Cam Ward.

Thats nothing, I used to get 120 shots in NHL '98

/And still found time to make Gretzky bleed

@Secret Identity:
You could have just said "Sorry I jumped the gun on you there."

Anyway, my point was more pointed at the shitty D playing in front of this poor sap.

@David Hume: Go Firebirds!

@ghostsoftheSCupcountry: uhh, I left off "tired" at the end by mistake.

99 Luftballoons > 98 saves

this clown gets one more save and I could have finally made my 99 luftballons joke!

@JoeyBellesGPS: you sneaky bastard.

@HebrewHammer: No, that was the IHL.

@ghostsoftheSCupcountry: Sadly, children cried themselves to sleep that night because they still live in Albany.
