Ms. Conduct gives thanks

Meanwhile, thank you Hockey Gods for Cal Clutterbuck. Another goal tonight and just incredibly well-spoken and collected for such a young guy, in spite of his teammates yelling shit at him during his interview, which is here.

I'd bet money, on that late crosscheck penalty he drew while he was going on the bench, that was by design. I guarantee he stood there just a little bit longer than he needed to because he knew the other guy was coming and figured he might give him a shot.

Here are pictures from the game. A couple of good Cal ones and one of Shep's fight. Dayum.

Some quotes from Russo, who was buzzing in his post game blog:

Cal Clutterbuck was the hero again, scoring his first career winning goal, taking on five more hits (152 now) and drawing three penalties.
Wow. Five points in his last four games. I'm stunned by people who still think he's going to be a flash in the pan a la Voros. Nope.

Remember how the season started? He focused on his defensive play almost exclusively and people were saying, "I don't see that he's such a big deal? What's he bringing besides a little grit?" But from there, he added one piece of his game at a time to make sure he never got ahead of himself or bit off more than he could chew. Never gave Jock a reason not to trust him.

I knew when he went up that's how he'd work it because he's smart like that. He's a guy who can read a situation and just understand how to get the most of out it. He's 21. Imagine what he's doing at 27 or 30.
If you’ve ever seen Souray with his shirt off, this is one strong dude. Ripped.
Christ, Russo. What are you trying to do to me? Meanwhile, I hope Weller is okay. I'm not sure he knew what planet he was on when Souray got done with him. But I'm agreeing with Dumb and Dumber that that plastic brace on his hand is pretty questionable shit to be wearing if you're gonna fight a guy. "Wait, let me brace my wrists in hard, clear plastic and then I'll punch you in the face. Deal?" Dipshit. I have an issue with that.

What else? I guess that's all. We'll get caught up on the Aeros return to the Toyota Center tomorrow. In spite of my struggles with faith, I'm very excited to see live hockey again.

Yeah, but damn, he looked good. That kid is totes foxy.

I'm SO sorry you have PMB in your pool. He's been a lost lamb without Rolston by his side.

I have to admit, Shep isn't hard on the eyes. His teeth are, though.

Souray looks GOOD without a shirt. There are pictures of him shirtless floating around the internet. You probably just have to google image him.

Actually, I did go hunting for Souray and was amazed how easy it was to find shirtless photos. Is he a porn star in the off-season? In fact, inthe best ones, he had this ridiculous porn 'stache, which is why I didn't bother posting one. I'm supposed to take your pecs seriously with that thing on your lip? Sorry, big guy.
