TWITTER TRIP

The Western Road-trip Summed up in "Tweets", If I Was Actually on Twitter, Which I'm Not, And Is In Fact A Shame, So You Who Couldn't Stay Up Late To Watch the Drama, Which Is Most Of Our Available Market, Can Stay informed On Matters Other Than: #Tiger Blood, #Libya and #GasPrices, Which, By The Way, Are All Connected - Through #Insanity

@ Phoenix

Coyotes still here in Glendale. Fans have come out for this key div. tilt by the hundreds.

Benn on mission. Needs nickname.

Stars struggling to extend a 1-0 lead. Coyotes playing as if they feel trailing 1-0 just might win this.

2-0 Stars. Insurmountable.

I think I just said shutout on the air, by accident. Coyote goal soon to follow.

Bingo. Your welcome Rusty Klesla.

Is 2-0 still referred to as the worst lead in hockey? No need to answer, Whitney just tied it with goalie pulled and 40 ticks left

Looks like OT tonig...wow, is "Vrbata" Czech for idiot? He just took a penalty on Ribeiro

Crow has Benn out here as a tail-gunner for the final face-off of regulation. Eureka! The kid just won it with 5 seconds left on the clock.

Cameras caught Tippett mouthing his thoughts. They involved a statement about a fictitious "you" kidding him, punctuated by an f-bomb.

Suck on that one Winnipeg Coyotes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need a gravol and some scotch.

@Anaheim

No ? the playoff race and divisional battle has captured the imagination of the OC. Tens of hundreds are in attendance @ Honda Center

Two guys in full body orange spandex are seated beside penalty box. They're clearly human, but male...?

Stars are owning this 2nd period. Benn is a beast again tonight. 3-1 now. In control.

Langenbrunner just got run by Winchester. A lot of letters involved in that contact. Cheap-ass hit. Unpenalized of course. Wake-up NHL!

Visnovsky just made this interesting with his 2nd goal of night (pp) early in 3rd

Remember that 2-goal lead thingy? Stars just blew another one. Geriatric sniper Selanne just tied it with goalie pulled.

OT in the OC baby!

Shootout is coming. Stars should use their timeout and keep Eriksson available, Robidas fresh... I guess not.

Tom Wandell should have stayed on the bench. Turnover, penalty. Yikes.

Your welcome Lubomir. PPG. Hattrick. Winner!

Beers and In N Out burgers on the bus make the collapse a little more tolerable. A little.

@ San Jose

Skrastins just had a visit from Peter Panic, threw puck out of play, Jaws music cued, Sharks PP about to make it 1-0.

Benn just scored a frigging artistic shortie. Needs nickname bad. How about "Benn There, Done That". Right, that's gay.

Good opening period at the Tank.

2nd not starting well. Marleau just gave the Sharks the lead.

Stars look gassed from last night in Anaheim. Sharks taking over and up 2-1.

Ott just left bench in search of a minor penalty. Found it. Ran Demers into the silicone valley.

Holy #%&@, Demers just clocked the linesman! Got 2 for roughing. I think they call that "assault" on the street.

Here come the Stars again. Eriksson tied it and Williams wrapped an ugly in to put em' up.

Kari is under siege. Hope Crow uses his timeout tonight. Just did. Lesson learned. Willie is scribbling on the white-board like a 6 yr old with ADD.

What a gutty, character win that was! Suck it Sharkies.

@ LA

The Kings come out through a tacky, ToysRUs-looking castle. Trying too hard? Me think so.

Stars seem to be struggling with Kings D and size. I'm not struggling with anything, calling the crap out of this trip finale.

Mitchell scored from Inglewood. Robidas made a mess of things in front of Lehtonen.

Stars have 2 shots on goal. Rogie Vachon could play goal for these Kings.

Uh oh. Otter just stabbed Clifford. No, not the Big Red Dog.

Ott's gone for the night, Stars face-off% just dropped to single digits.

Stars seem to be more comfortable playing from behind. Ribs and Daley scored to tie the game twice, both times Kings went ahead within minute.

Kings have chance to go up by 2 on pp. This doesn't smell good.

Have I mentioned that Benn deserves a nickname? Why not Moses?, he just scored another shortie to tie it.

Lehtonen just stoned Clifford, who has now been stoned, stabbed, slammed by Fisty, and scored a goal.

Morrow's been an Alpha male. Competed his arse off. Ribs too.

Big point earned but Stars haven't looked too good 4 on 4 tonight. Here comes overtime. Wonder if our audience is in single-digit now?

I think Morrow just puck-jacked his own center to score the winner! 9th 3rd period/OT rally. Unbelievable.

What a trip. 7 of 8 points! Signed off the post game show at 12:20 am central. The lobby lounge awaits.
