Torres has got Cloutier's number... THREE goals?!
Before Eric and I went to Nathan's, we stopped by Future Shop so he could buy 50 DVD-Rs for $17.99 or some low price like that. (if you can't watch rented movies on time, burn 'em! ;) ) He wanted me to face my escalator fears, but I was definitely all good with the elevator. I looked at some music (I *still* can't find In A Coma, darn it!) and we walked around the store a little before he bought the DVDs. While we were there, I noticed an electronic alarm on a Myst game and tried pressing it like you would do with mouse buttons... hey, it LOOKED like a mouse! Then I noticed a Spongebob Squarepants joystick / controller... yes, it's a weird thing to do with someone's nose, but it reminded me of Pinocchio's growing nose whenever he lied. ;)
After that, we didn't have time to get Subway or Quizno's like we originally thought we might. We headed straight to Nathan's and found his friend Andrew and Christon there. Erin arrived later on... the one who organized this whole thing in the first place (Eunice) didn't even show up! The first period of the hockey game was interesting, especially after they scored rather early in the game.. but we came back to tie it! We also discussed hockey pools and what pizza to order: we settled on Domino's instead of Panago. The rest of the hockey game featured a LOT of 5-on-3 action, penalties / power plays, a disallowed Edmonton goal coming at the same time as an Oilers penalty, at least two broken sticks, and the puck splitting in half. We had a penalty with 49 seconds remaining, but the Oilers goal scrubbed that out... they won in the ensuing post-sudden death OT shootout since they got two goals as opposed to our one.
No more ties in the NHL, despite 5729 ties in prior history... if nobody scores in OT, they go to a shootout with three designated players. (the most goals wins) My sister called Eric to let him know about cheap gas prices: he knew, since everyone and their lost dog was lined up at the gas station nearest his house! (where the price was 103.8ยข a litre) Danielle called Nathan later to rub it in, even though she hates hockey... "So if Edmonton won, does that mean Vancouver lost? Haha!" Christon was saying that he'd hear all about it when he goes back there on Tuesday: he's also planning to leave his co-op early (at the end of November) for various reasons, and one of them would be because he doesn't want to pay a full month's rent on an apartment if he's only going to be there one or two weeks into December.
After that, we watched a bit of the Final Fantasy VII Advent Children thing while figuring out what else to watch. We watched some Fairchild Chinese talent / variety show which wasn't THAT great, some of Lost, some of Family Guy, some baseball, some overplayed "best buns in the CFL" Subway commercial, and some Farscape. Nathan decided to test the capacity of his speakers on the satellite radio TV stations... jazz, rock, country, classical, etc. When Christon told us that he hadn't ever seen Zoolander before, we were all surprised... we were kinda going to watch THAT, but then Andrew saw it last week on TV. I also showed Eric my idea of a hot guy... pictures of certain draft picks in The Hockey News. Eventually, we settled on some Korean action martial arts movie in Mandarin.. Sword in the Moon. Good times, even with pop substituting for beer. :D
Man, I need a hockey icon....
