Lets Grind These Bitches Down

Dan Bylsma

Equivalency in German Coins

Apparently, Heater's equivalent in valuability is Marty Havlat, which is a prettybig honour in my opinion. This is because Dany Heatly was traded from the Sharks. He has been traded to the Wild. The um, Minnesota WILD. The newest team to enter the NHL, if we're discounting the Jets, which I will continue to do for a significant amount of time in the future until I become accustomed to the lack of Thrashers. I'm sorry, can we just take a second or two to absorb this new information...okay. I think I got it. Dany Heatly has been traded. To a really crappy team. And there is not a single thing he can do about it. This is where I cue in my meniacle laughter. Muah. Muah. Muahahahhahhaahahaha.

This made me cry. Highlight: the Geno text. Tears. Must read. Now.

Moments That You Don't Want to Remember

Max Talbot....got....traded. To the....Flyers. OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD.

Apollo

About a month ago, this is the post I began writing:

Fucking, goddamn Boston. I fucking hate Boston. They may be the team I hate most of all in the NHL at the moment. God. They think they can just swoop in there, defeat the Habs and then take second place right out from under Tampa, just like that? No!

Then, I thought about things for a minute. I went out for a run. I got a job. I now work in a library. It's a very calming work environment. I make minimum wage, but its better than 12 cents an hour making carpets and fake fur coats on the stinky streets of Boston.

...I mean India. Did I say Boston? Whoops. My bad.

Anyway, I'm over it. I'm gonna be honest with you, I didn't even finish the game. I fell asleep, about halfway through the second. I didn't watch Boston win the cup. And you know what, I'm not ashamed of it. I am not a Canucks fan. And I am most definitely not a Bruins fan. So I've lost the will to care. Like I said; I work in a library. This year's playoffs ended for me after the first round.

Right now I'm more focused on the trades that have been going on. My ipod blares the TSN theme every time someone makes a move, so I'm right on that shit. My biggest concern at the moment would probably have to be the um...NIKITA FILATOV MOVING TO OTTAWA. Wait. WHAT?! Would you believe me if I told you I just discovered this now? NIKITA. FILATOV. Is coming to the Sens. WHAT THE FUCK? O.M.G.

Oh...kay. So that is officially my biggest concern. Oh my god wow. Okay. Calm self. Moving along. Second biggest concern. Ummm....hmm. Oh. Brian Campbell has been traded to the Panthers in exchange for some kid named Olesz. Sick last name, but to be honest I don't know who the fuck this is and imma miss the Ginge for sure. Poor Chicago defense. Oh, also Mike Richards was traded from Philly, and the Flyers got Brayden Schenn out of it, which is pretty cool. They also traded away Jeff Carter. Do I sense another Hawks catastrophe in the making? They did however acquire Ilya Bryzgalov, which is sick. Good move, I say. In other news, Tomas Kopecky goes to Islanders from Chicago...Oh, and most recently, Canucks traded Christian Ehrhoff for a 4th rounder. Ouch. Can you say slap in the face?

More news to come. Stay tuned. This is Al, signing off.

Crashing Parties and Stuff

Everything is slowly falling into place. Muah. MUAH! MUAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Right. Sorry. Boston is gone. Boston sucks. Tampa rules all. Vancouver will win. All these things = a happy Al.

Yeah Baby

This is it. We are now officially one step closer to a Canadian team winning the Stanley Cup for the first time since 1993. Those were the Habs by the way. Boston will not make it to the finals. That is not a possibility. It is most definitely going to be a match-up between Vancouver and Tampa Bay. I love how awesome the Lightning are. They are so amazing. And it's funny because they live in a city that is like 100 degrees hotter than here every single day. And they are still awesome. Stamkos with whoop some kid's ass. But even so, I hope Vancouver wins. Keeping up with my Canadian pride and all that. Ooh boy. It's gonna be tough to go against Tampa. But I'm willing to face up to the challenge. New poll? Canucks vs Lightning? I think so.

PS, happy birthday Nikita Filatov...

Ahahhaha

Human Lightning Bolt

Hahahahahahahahhahahahaha

Goodness

GUESSWHOSBIRTHDAYGUESSWHOSBIRTHDAYGUESSWHOSBIRTHDAY IT IS TODAY!!!

I'll tell you. Jordan Eberle. Feel free to completely bask in the glory of this moment. It's 21. NBD

Beauty Pageants?

I really wanna make another beauty pageant. Problem is it takes time and effort and criticism and I'm not really in a very critical place in my life right now. I haven't made one in over two years. I think it's time. What team? I don't know. Maybe Ottawa? No. Actually maybe. We'll see. Not Chicago. Not putting Versteeg and Burish up there would just make me too upset. Vancouver? They've got a young hot squad. Oh! Tampa! Kay. Problem solved. Lightning it is.

Aha!

I'm so sorry that I haven't posted for quite some time, however I'm nearing my final exams and it's been rather hectic what with studying and summatives and all. Anyway. I could comment on the Sharks exciting game 7 win over Detroit, however that would actually involve me having to fake enthusiasm towards that particular topic and to be honest, I'm just not in the mood. What I'd much rather direct our attention to is the fact that over the short period of time in which I was absent from this wonderful blog, my hit count reached 10 000. And not only did it do that, but it went over. 10 700. Like, what? It took literally months to get my first 1000 hits and now I can match that in just over a week? Dude. Crazy shit. Thanks a bunch. I will make it much worth your while. Oh, and if you're ever feeling generous, hows about a quick click on that Follow button? Just if you feel like making someones day.

It's Time

What a heartbreak. But, you know, I can't say that I'm too shaken up about it. I'm definitely disappointed, of course. My two teams out in the same night. It was rough. But I knew from the start what the outcome was going to be. I mean, who were we kidding; a Pittsburgh without Crosby and Malkin wasn't going to last. And in a way this is better, because it gives Sid time to recuperate over the summer and get back to full form instead of joining in during the playoffs and possibly ending his career forever!

ALSO, the Habs gave us a good show. A great one, even. I almost shit my pants that entire game. PK Subban is my hero. His post-goal celebration (or lack thereof) made my life. And Carey Price is a tank. This time last year, we were worshiping Halak. Funny how things go.

Also, did anyone else catch the video of Chara drinking a bottle of coke on the bench in the middle of the third? I laughed. Chara's a bitch, but he has his moments.

Okay so, now that my top three votes have been eliminated, who to go for? Chicago was a predictable loss, by the way. We all knew this would happen, the moment they made their first trade after they won the cup last year, we knew it. I was happy, though, that they lost to a respectable team. The Vancouver Canucks. Canadians, nonetheless. Okay, thats it. I'm going for Vancouver. No questions asked, problem solved. I mean, the lightning JUST won the thing in like 08. They've had their turn. It's time for Canada to lift this cup again.

Canucks in 4.

Money in the Bank

Habs are doing great so far, two wins in the bank. Just get back this one and it's only one more to go, Boston out. Habs rule all. Habs in 4.

Another WTF for the Little People

New Jersey won the draft lottery! WTF, mate. They were in 8th from last, with like a 3.9% of winning...and they did...which is strange to say the least. But the craziest thing is that apparently even if you win, you can only go up four spots in the draft lottery, so they'll only get fourth pick...hmm. Edmonton is still gets first pick. Most has stayed the same, although the Sens, who ended the season fourth from last, are now receiving the fifth draft pick because the Devils (irony) pushed them back. You know, it's stupid, if Ottawa had not started winning at the end of the season they would've had a much higher up draft pick. But, noooooo they had to protect their pride. Silly Sens. Not that it makes much of a difference anyway, they could end up with a freakin Jeff Skinner, as oppose to opting for a #2 draft such as Tyler Seguin, who, for fucks sake does shit-all for his team. Your order in the draft really means nothing. Players become who they are with time, you can never tell right off the bat. Exhibit A: Alexandre Daigle. Comparison? Chris Pronger. Same draft, first and second, and who's sticking it out in the big leagues? That's what I thought.

Oh, yeah. And the playoffs are starting tonight. NBD.

Farewell, Clouston

Um, Clouston's been fired.
...I don't really know what to say about this. Brian Murray issued the statement. Uh. I don't know. I don't think that was the right move. Wow. This is a shock. Um...I don't know what to do now. Where are they going to go to find a new coach? It doesn't matter, I still don't get it. Cory Clouston was a hard-ass, he pushed the Sens. He was mean. I think that's what they needed, don't you? Sure, they were crap this year, but was that really because of him? Maybe it was about the core of players that made up the team. And then they traded a whole bunch of them away, and things got better, didn't they? Players got called up from the minors, and then the majority of the Ottawa Senators was made up of people who had worked their entire lives to get there, and hadn't forgotten how hard it had been, and how much they had sacrificed. The opportunity was still fresh in their minds, and taking advantage of this moment was the most important thing. This was their number one priority, and I think that's the reason for the Senators' boost in the standings. They had players on their team who were actually trying their best and their hardest. They had players on their team who were trying to prove themselves, and prove they could compete in the NHL. They knew the opportunity that was being placed in front of them wouldn't last forever. They knew they had nothing to lose, so why not go all out?

That's what the team needs. People who play like they have nothing to lose. They don't need a new coach. They need a new attitude. Go and think about that for a second, and tell me again that this was Clouston's fault.

Temp/Perm?

The new logo/picture/title I put up now is just a temporary thing (unless you guys like it, in which case I'll keep it) but I think I want to incorporate more Loonie Engraved-specific details into it, you know? I don't know. Comment your ideas, and I'll do a fair bit of brainstorming myself. This is such a process. I was also getting a little bored of the bright red background, but you guys probably don't stare at it nearly as often as I do. It wouldn't do me any good to mess with a good thing, I guess. That's why they're telling you to vote for Harper. With so much at steak, they say, we can't afford to change course. But see, fuck it, I'm going for NDP. And I don't really care much for politics in any case.

YUS! HABS ARE OFFICIALLY IN THE PLAYOFF! S MY D CHICAGO, SUCK IT HHAHAHHAHHHAHAHAHHA!!!

So Close!

HABS FOR THE WIN! Carolina is our only predator! Beware of the hurricane! We rule all! The Pens are also awesome! Wanna know why? Huh? Because Dan Bylsma should win coach of the year. Know why? Here's my reasoning: he kept the Penguins a competing team in the league even with Sid and Geno off at the sidelines chilling in Cole Harbour with Vodka on the tap in his built-in home bar. That's it. Nothing else matters. There is no other criteria for Coach of the Year. Danny has got it in the bag.

...I don't know why. I felt it was necessary.

Gotta Get Down

So only a few games left in the regular season before the playoffs and the Senators' much-hyped golfing season. They officially have a spot in the draft draw for the top pick, so they'll have like a 10-20% chance of winning depending on their final placement in the league. The Oilers are officially number 30, which means YAY! 48% chance that they'll win. Not that that really means anything, the draft is always a surprise. Who knows, perhaps Toronto will make a split-second Boston move and trade Phil Kessel to Ottawa for their spot in the draw. Haha.

Daniel Alfredsson isn't going to be returning for this season, apparently his back injury is no laughing matter, according to the Ottawa Citizen. It isn't a surgery-related issue...yet. And also in the paper this morning Alfy and Spezza were included in the best Senators players in their many (19) years in the NHL. So, technically, of all time. That anyone remembers. Technically. Anyway. Also included in the list were Marian Hossa, Wade Redden and Zdeno Chara. Wade Redden doesn't play in the NHL anymore. Chara is currently a hated player around the Canada-area for his hit on Pacioretti. And Hossa...is still Hossa. HO$$A. I dunno. He's one of the only remaining players on the Chicago Blackhawks. And Spezza and Alfredsson still play for Ottawa. Enough said.

Someone asked me the other day if I knew that my title was spelled wrong. I do know. I spell loonie in the french fashion. Loonie isn't even a word in french, however that is my excuse. I find 'ey' too american, don't you? Well excuse me for bringing a little culture to the group. We could all stand to be taken down a peg or two when it comes to preserving our Canadian heritage. I wonder what percentage of my L.E readers are American. Hopefully a healthy dose. I like to think I have a relatively diverse range of peoples around here. I think I lost track of what I was talking about. Wouldn't be the first time, anyway.

Movie Stars and Supermodels

Just a heads up: if I'm making movie recommendations now, don't go see The Adjustment Bureau. I saw it because the commercials made it look okay, and um, hello, Matt Damon had the lead. So, a must, for me. But I was thoroughly dissapointed with the result of the movie. Afterwards, as I was walking out of the theatre, and I constantly was like, "wait...what?" and then a few seconds later, "like...what?" and then after, "I just don't get it." And it wasn't the plot of the movie that I didn't understand. The concept of the battle between fate and free-will was relatively easy to grasp. And it's a good idea, but they completely obscurred it with this horrible movie! I mean, the writing was bad, the production was bad, the acting was bad, and Matt Damon looks fat and old. And he ran like a fool.

But I don't think it was those things that irked me the most, I think it was the love story. It was just too unbelievable. And I don't mean that in a good way. I mean I didn't believe it. You know what, I want you to see it. Because I can't explain it on my own. Just watch it and then report back to me. You guys give me butterflies. Deep inside.

New Logo

I'm thinking about making a new logo for the blog. You know, something catchy and simple that will just stick and pop, because (in spite of the fact that the one I have now would be incredibly difficult to copyright) it just has too much going on and half the pens in the picture aren't even on the team anymore...and you know my photoshop skills have improved greatly since I made that like, 2 years ago and I think that could truly make a difference.

Anyways, let me know what you think, or if you have any ideas just comment or email me, aelvidge@ashbury.ca

I Haven't Quite Adapted to the Time Change

Sooooooooo. HELLO FAMILY! I was in France. Playing rugby. NBD. But anyway. I'm back now. Back to reality. And in reality I find out that

a) Ovechkin is injured due to "bumps and bruises"

b) Alfie was a scratch for the Sens vs Caps game tonight (along with Mike Green, Jason Arnott, Sergei Gonchar, Matt Carkner & others)

c) Sidney Crosby had a vigorous 45 min workout today (the longest since his concussion), of which the videos have been playing regularly on sportsnet

d) Jason Spezza is consistently balding

Three out of the four I don't like. I'll leave it up to you to decide which ones. By the way, I'm not some creeper who has like a weird fetish for old balding guys. If I had a fetish for anything, I'd say it would be necks. I really like the backs of people's necks. Don't publish that, it was embarrassing. In retrospect, I should probably have deleted it, but I'm not one to live in the past. Anyway.

These are the first things I found out about hockey the moment I stepped off the plane. I learned more interesting things after that. And more important things. Like, um, hello, Jesse Winchester likes eating steaks, listening to country music and watching the Discovery Channel. AND, he likes history. Hello soulmate. Do you hear the bells? (I also watched Hairspray today AND 17 Again, I'm like on a Zac Efron high)

Also, when you're at a Washington Capitals game in Ottawa and half the seats are empty and Ovie's a scratch and so is Green and those were the two people you brought the tickets to actually see, I found out that a certain Mr. Alexander Semin catches the eye, especially when he and Backstrom are the only ones on the team warming up without helmets on. I believe I told my dad numerous times throughout those twenty-odd minutes to "for the love of GOD look at how feathery his hair is". Not lying. I flows when he skates, and bounds likes lords a leapin' when he shoots. Love it. Sex hair? Not quite up to the standards of Tangers, but I think so.

Nothing to Call This One I Think but Trades

Okay, so, let's review what happened during this eventful trade deadline day. Let's see now...

Um, oh, big news actually. Chris Campoli gets traded. But he doesn't just get traded. Oh, no. He gets traded to Chicago. Which means, I am so fucking jealous. You know he was probably just like sitting there all day thinking please don't trade me please don't trade me and then finally Brian Murray was like, "you're traded" and Campoli was like noooooooooo but then Bri said "...to the Hawks." And Chris Campoli was like YES! SCORE! I GET TAH MEET JOHNNY TOEWS!

Sergei Samsonov got traded to the Panthers from Carolina. Didn't he used to be good? Oh, and another big news. DUSTIN PENNER got traded to, wait for it. Ahem. Edmonton! (mini fit of delight). In exchange, the Kings got a first rounder, and a third round pick! W-O-W. Oh, and some guy named Colten Teubert, but he's not important.

Oh, Caps and Devils make a Jason Arnott-Daved Steckel switcheroo, which I'm not too sure I'm entirely happy about, considering I know nothing about either player or either team.

The Habs got a goalie, Drew MacIntyre. I...don't know why.

Um, kay. That's about all the trades of interest to me that have gone down. From my four predictions, three proved to be true. Pretty good, eh? First, Chris Philipps was not traded. Next, not a single thing was done about dear old Pascal Leclaire. I did actually say that he would never play another game in the NHL, which is yet to be decided. So I guess we can just count that one as half a victory. And then finally, Chris Campoli's trade made my "more Sens shall be traded" prediction a reality. However, I did specify for particularly Kuba or Lee...I think this one goes for three quarters of a point.

Right, so all added up, I got two and a quarter correct out of four. That's more than fifty percent, which is pretty dece, considering the majority of the hockey players in the NHL have an average much lower than that in their shootout rates.

Yeah, that's how my thinking process goes. Don't judge.

Trade Deadline!

Guess what? Today is the trade deadline! This is so exciting, I can hardly contain myself. My face is pink with barely controlled glee. I'm not being sarcastic. I know sometimes it's difficult to tell in writing but this time I am genuinely excited about this trade deadline. Know why? Normally, each year I'm not even aware that it's happening. But, BUT, this year, I have a TSN Trade Centre app on the ipod (his name is Allan), so I'll be getting alerts all throughout the day! Although, one problem may be that it blurts of the SportsCentre theme song every time there's an update, even if I have it on silent, which may be a problem considering I'll be in class...oh well. In sure my teachers will understand. And if not, well, screw them, they wish they had my super cool trades app.

So, my predictions are as follows:

Chris Phillips shall not be traded. I know I said he would be, but I don't know, I figure if it hasn't been done by now than it'll never be done. And besides, he isn't a free agent, which means he has that superpower that gives you the ability to say "No, I don't want to be traded there." In more litteral terms, it gives you the ability to be Dany the Douche. Boy, I haven't talked about him in a long time.

Okay, and also, Pascal Leclaire will never play another NHL game for the rest of his life. Yeah, I know, a pretty lofty prediction. But it's my gut. His injuries have ruined him. No team will want him, so he's going to stay on waivers forever and ever.

Next prediction is that more Sens will definitely be traded. Of these, I predict it'll be the likes of Filip Kuba and Brian Lee. But that's just me. Any one of them can go at this point. The ones that definitely won't be going are Alfy, Spezz and Karlsson. I'm not saying I'm happy about it, that's just what's going to happen.

Okay, final prediction: If any Pittsburgh Penguins get traded, I might cry a little bit. I know that's not really a prediction...well, I guess it is. I predict I shall cry.

We'll see after 3:00 p.m. today which of my predictions proved to be true. Enjoy the day everybody, happy apping!

Less Value Than Ruutu

K so not psychic but close. Not Philipps but Kovalev. For a seventh rounder.

Oh, yeah. And its to Pittsburgh.

I Thought Poetry Was the Food of Love

Okay, so, in the hockey perspective of things, no new trades have been made by the sens or the leafs, however, in their game last night (Ottawa vs Toronto), 14 NHL teams sent representatives to watch the game, to keep track of any players they might have their eye on, seeing as these two teams have been selling away players like candies at a vegetable stand.

...Alright, that way a really bad simile. But today's blog post was not to talk about hockey. Today's post was made specifically to talk about this.

This is about Pride and Prejudice. I've seen the movie about 713 times in the past, and last night was the only time I've ever cried. It's not a sad movie, oh no. I cried from longing. Longing that Mr. Darcy was not a fictitious character. I'm in love. Not with Matthew Macfadyen. No. I'm in love with Mr. Darcy.

How can you not be? He's so wonderful. And he always looks so sad! It's adorable! And the scene in the rain where he tells her he loves her and asks her to marry him and then they fight and scream at each other and almost kiss and she says you're the last man on earth I would ever be prevailed upon to marry... oh my god. I cried at that one, not because she didn't agree to marry him but because it was just so POWERFUL. And the rain, and the fighting, and the acting was incredible. Oh, dear god. I can't take it. He's just so amazing.

I found it on youtube.

Doesn't that just make your jaw just drop like 17 inches to the floor? Mr. Darcy is the love of my life.

Okay, these next three pictures come from another one of my favorite scenes. I takes place outside in the very early morning, with the mist and the dew and the grey sky...you can almost feel the coolness of the air as your watching it. Wow. So good. This movie is amazing.

Aw. And then, he asks her to marry him again, and this time she does say yes! Well, she doesn't say yes, and he doesn't exactly ask her either... it's more of like a common understanding kind of thing. But he says this line, and it makes me cry, I'm actually welling up writing this right now just thinking about it...

"You have bewitched me, body and soul. And I love...I love... I love you. I never wish to be parted with you from this day on." And then, AND THEN! She says:

"Well then." And she kissed his hand! And his face while she's doing it is just...priceless. And then Kiera Knightly goes and says this line, and basically ruins the whole scene.

"Your hands are cold." LOL. And then he nods, in like a really sexy, I'm about to cry I'm so in love with you and I feel like I'm having sex for the first time because you just kissed my hand kind of way. It super hot. Kay, actually, never mind. I found it on youtube.

Yeah, I KNOW RIGHT? Best scene in all of television? I think so. Well, except for a kiss. But, if that's all you're looking for, all you have to do is fast-forward about...5 minutes. And then you'll find this scene. And after that, you'll find the end credits. Ready? I'm going to cry. Are you?

Final Scene -Pride and Prejudice

I just died.

The Ones the Sens Let Get Away and Counting

So, um, I'm thinking we should start a "The Ones the Sens Let Get Away and Counting". Because I'm sensing there's more to come. Okay, here we go.

1. Mike Fisher -Nashville

2. Chris Kelly -Boston

3. Brian Elliott -Colorado

4. Jaarko Ruutu -Anaheim

Um. Yeah, okay, I think I got them all. Um. But there'll be more. I'm sure. My prediction is that the next one to go will be Chris Philipps. You can quote me on that.

I Do Not Believe This is Real. I Know it is Real. I'm Just Choosing Not to Believe it.

Mike Fisher is traded to Nashville.

Hockey

Hockey won't hold still for a portrait.

If you gain a glimpse inside, you join it in progress

Just as players do,

Jumping onto the ice for their shifts

As the game swirls around them.

On the ice, the action moves at high speeds

The punishments thrown out could be staggering

And the very best in world form bands of brothers,

As authentic as any in sports.

Virtuoso talents alongside distinctive leaders

Fearless combatments and relentless competitors

They play with an intensity from another age

A passion invulnerable to cynicism

And an energy that embraces whatever the ice offers next.

Through heights and depths,

Lengthy streaks and sudden turnarounds,

The spirited collision in the national spotlight,

They have revealed a portrait in a season of progress.

Hockey won't hold still to give you a better look.

You wouldn't want it to anyway.

On to Better Things

I watched the game.

Don't worry. I saw it. I saw the first three goals. I didn't turn off the TV. I kept watching, and then I saw those eleven seconds. Those eleven seconds that changed the flow of the game, and then I shaw the Russian tidal wave hit. And then I saw the last three goals.

Don't worry, I watched the game. But I don't want to talk about it.

On the brighter and better things, I say. On to things like, how I totally predicted the concussed Sid, like, a week in advance. How psychic am I, eh? And on to things like, how Micaela just totally introduced me to a damn-cool twitterer who openly mocks Geno's adorableness in a way that makes us love him even more. And on to things like, how I just totally said damn-cool for the first time in my life and how I'm totally loving it.

Bee tee dubs, not happy bout the Kid's concussion. Not happy at all. Just gloating. Don't worry, I won't let him find out.

Kay, some excerpts from MalkinsDiary71's tweets. Some of you have probably heard of the infamous 'Geno's Diary' before, if not, here's a nice little vid to get you started.

These are some of my favorites:

Dear diary. No Sid tonight, so I take over and eat his 5pm PB&J sandwich. Not as good as mama borscht, but whatever. Game time. Go us! Geno.

Dear diary. Christmas today, mama give me signed Crosby jersey! How she know I want one? I give her new babushka with Penguin on it. Geno

Dear diary. Sid has concussion. I upset at Steckel, but same time, glad; means his throwing up wasn't from mama's borscht. Was worried. Geno

Dear diary. I'm at the zoo. One penguin seeing another penguin. Or a few. Its cool here, I come back more often. Geno.

Dear diary. Russia booted off plane, too drunk. What means "too drunk?" In Russia, not allowed on plane unless drunk. Congrats Russia! Geno.

Dear diary. Taylor Swift split with Jake. That good news. Maybe now she date popular Russian hockey player. I show her good time. Geno.

Dear diary. You right: dating Taylor silly. It because she can't write song about me, nothing rhyme with Evgeni. I keep looking then. Geno.

Okay, maybe more than a few.

Saving Private Ryan

Shitty game. Nevermind. I think Crosby has a concussion. Called it. You'll see, sometime tomorrow or the day after they'll announce that Sid the Kid has a concussion from that hit he took, and I'll have been the first one to have called it. Hold me to it.

He's Back!!!!!!!!

Jordan Staal is playing. He's playing.
Sid's upper-lip is naked.
So far, 0-0 in the nighttime Winter Classic.

The Jaw's back baby.

Happy 2011, the Year of BS

The Winter Classic's been postponed due to crappy weather. Meh. But wow, instead, they replayed the one from a few years back, Pens vs Sabres. Man, a lot's changed since then. No Tyler Myers, and plus, COLBY! I completely forgot that he played in that game, and when I saw him it just lit up my day. Ryan Whitney and Ryan Malone were there too. Oh, the good old days. Geno was wearing a neck warmer.


P.S: Please save your bullshit for someone who cares.
I know Kevin Bieksa's married. It was a joke. Ever heard of them? And another thing. A friend of mine, a huge fan of the Canucks, met Ryan Kesler in the mall and asked for his autograph and he completely blew him off. So, I don't really know if being known throughout the league as someone who is famously mean to their fans makes him a "nice guy". And Kevin Bieksa is a ginormo agitator. And quite frankly, not a very good hockey player. Just thought you should know my opinion when you report back to them since you're clearly such close friends.
