Open Gameday Recap Thread Ducks @ Lightning

DANIEL:

Well, the Ducks got two points against the Lightning. That makes them 2-3-0 on the road trip. Although they've won two shootouts which is kind of like winning two games except you don't actually beat the team you're playing at anything but a skills competition. Still, Conference bottom dwellers can't be choosers. The Ducks managed only one goal for the third strait game. It came on the power play from James Wisniewski, who coincidentally kept his shootout percentage at a phenomenal 1.00 by scoring the game winning shootout goal. For those playing the home game, that makes Wisniewski the most influential offensive player of the game.

However, not to be outdone was Jonas Hiller. His 30 saves gave Wisniewksi the opportunity to be the hero. The Lightning's only goal came on a poorly played 2 on 1. Whitney didn't get down to stop the cross ice pass. Hiller got over, but couldn't close the pads in time to deny Martin St. Louis. The win ended Tampa Bay's three game winning streak but didn't help the Ducks pick up any ground in the playoff race as both Dallas and Detroit picked up victories.

I try not to edit your solo work

But you’ve really gotta stop misspelling straight.

I didn’t misspell strait. I used the wrong one. It’s a subtle difference.

I’m aware that you’re using a homonym, but choosing the incorrect word between two homonyms is still a misspelling. I only bring it up because it’s the second or third time you’ve done it, as was the case with ‘descent,’ which by the way is not a homonym for ‘decent,’ only ‘dissent.’

I mean by misspelling, I mean incorrectly spelling the word you were attempting to use. If you actually intended to describe the games as strict or related to a narrow channel of water and not just consecutive, then I guess there is a subtle difference I’m missing.

Wouldn’t be the first time.

wouldn't be the first time you meant to describe a game as related to a narrow channel of water?

Or wouldn’t be the first time that I didn’t cuddle up to your convoluted way of thinking i.e. ‘that song from the 50s. where’s it from arthur? Oh, that’s right, it’s from a movie I saw in the 90s.’ You really need to internalize those questions.

Okay. New Rule. No Mad Gabs on the site. You must always write “I’m a love machine” and never “Eye Mull Of Mush Een,” no matter what ‘subtle difference’ you’re attempting to create. No more artistic spelling. This is for the benefit of our readers who, like most walking, breathing hominids, don’t always know what you’re thinking.
