Flames 6  Blackhawks 4:  Like father like son.  Old man look at my life, I’m a lot like you were.  Last night, Eric Nystrom scored three points (one goal, two assists) for the Flames.  Hooray Eric Nystrom!  Eric’s father played for the Islanders.  He played for that Islanders team that won all those Stanley Cups.  The Mike Bossy Islanders.  The Bryan Trottier Islanders.  The Bob Nystrom Islanders.  Eric’s father, Bob, had three three-point games in his playoff career.  I’m gonna be like you dad.  You know I’m gonna be like you.   If he truly wants to be like dear old dad, he better get to scoring some overtime goals.

Pirates 7  Marlins 4:  The Marlins arrived in Pittsburgh this week on the heels of seven-game winning streak.  The Marlins left Pittsburgh this week on the heels of a sweep.  The Marlins came into this series like and lion and went out a like a little lamb.  

It could be worse.  In the Republic of South Africa, the Marlins come in like a lion and go out like a different lion.  Like one has a mane, and one doesn’t have a mane.  Or in certain parts of South America where the Marlins swim in like a sea otter, and then slither out like a giant anaconda.  There you can buy land real cheap, you know. 

And there’s a country where the Marlins hop in like a kangaroo, and stay a kangaroo for a while, and then they becomes a slightly smaller kangaroo.  Then, then, then for a couple of days it’s sort of a cross between a, a frilled lizard and a common house cat.  Wait wait wait wait.  Then it changes back into a smaller kangaroo, and then it goes out like a, like a wild dingo.  Now, now, and it’s not Australia!  Now, now, you’d think it would be Australia, but it’s not!

Now look, pal!  I know a country where the Marlins come in like an emu and goes out like a tapir.  And they don’t even know what it means!  All right? Now listen, there are nine different countries, where the Marlins come in like a frog, and go out like a golden retriever.  But that- that’s not the weird part! No, no, the weird part is, is the frog.  The frog.  The weird part is…….
