Nerdy Little Secrets

Friday, July 16th, 2010

While this blog has been dedicated to The Nerdy Things in Life, I feel that I haven’t really used this space to honestly and truly geek out.  That changes here and now.

A little while ago I touched base with an old friend, Brian.  He recently started a blog called The City State of Balic (which you can see a link from to you right if you look for it) which is primarily dedicated to the nerdiest of nerdy endeavors, Dungeons & Dragons.  He sent me an e-mail a little over a week ago with an idea.  He and I would join together and make a D&D setting, each taking part time responsibility for things.  So far it has been really fun reconnected with that nerdy side of my life, and an old friend.  While we are still in the draft stages, the setting got off to a good start.  We both included some “creative” sections to lay a bit of the land for our planet which I’ll include here…

Stanley Cup Final Predictions

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Welcome back to our Predictacular!  The third round seems to have ended as quickly as it begins, lasting only one game longer than the minimum.  Now we are faced with a very intriguing Stanley Cup final between the two teams that finished near the bottom of the league just three short seasons ago.  Oddly for two traditional hockey cities, this is only the second time that they have faced in the playoffs, with the Hawks getting a sweep back in 1971.  Will history repeat itself a mere 39 years after the fact?  Here’s what our supposed experts have to say.

3rd Round Playoff Predictions

Monday, May 17th, 2010

Welcome back to our Predictacular, just when we thought things couldn’t be any crazier after the first round, things get even crazier.  The 8th seed Habs rock the defending Stanley Cup Champion, the fourth 3-0 comeback in North American Professional Sports takes place, the Sharks find a way to not choke, and the Hawks rally from losing 5-1 at home.  These are a host of things that would have been difficult to predict, but we’ll try our best here…

1st Round Playoff Predictions

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

Welcome one and all to an annual tradition here in my section of the blogosphere, playoff predictions! The playoffs this year are sure to be interesting. Lots of questions: Can Pittsburgh repeat? Can Ovechkin match his rival from last year? Has there ever been more goaltending issues at once? Wait a minute…Phoenix is in the playoffs? And so on, and so forth. Here to help me, as always are my good friends Jeff and Troy, as well as a coin, which I do believe bested my last year.

Glen and Troy’s NOlympic Team – Part 3

Friday, January 15th, 2010

…and so it ends.

Today we will compelte the final 8 rounds of the NOlympic draft, as well as state our line combinations to compete for NOlympic Glory.

Just to recap from last time, our picks were:

Trontario: F – Stamkos, LeCavalier, St. Louis, Penner, Doan, Smyth, Cammalleri, J. Staal, Lucic, Tanguay, D – Campbell, Regher, Beauchemin,  G – Price, Turco

Glenitoba: F – Carter, B. Richards, Savard, Fisher, Weiss, Sharp, Horton, Neal,  Roy, D – Bouwmeester, Phaneuf, Green, Robidas, Hamhuis, G – Ward

Again, Troy definitely has the advantage in offense, and made some gains in goaltending.  But he is still lagging in defense, both from his back end but also from his forwards.

Which brings us to…

Glen and Troy’s NOlympic Teams – Part 1

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

Steve Yzerman gave me the best birthday present I could have ever asked for.  A chance to talk about hockey!!!  The team was named back on December 30th, and since then a great deal of debate has started, and as usual it has been focused on who is not playing as opposed to the great picks that were made. With a host of names ranging from Green, Doan, Fisher, Ward, and pretty much anyone good who plays for Tampa or Calgary.

Instead of giving a position by position break down like I was intending, I decided to start my Olympic analysis a little differently.  My hockey-hetero-life-mate Troy and I have decided to play scavenger and each take our own teams full of players that have been left over.  This is going to be a series of posts, starting with today, as we both make our initial 5 picks today.

Just out of interest, we are starting with the team that was named.  Any replacements made due to injury are going to be ignored, because, really, that would be a little too difficult.

In debating over this we argued about who should make the first pick and decided to have an MSN rock-paper-scissors war.  It lasted forever as we both insisted on taking rock every time.  Finally in the 127th round a victor was declared as Troy took…a bigger rock.

He used his first pick to take:
