I feel like a Phoenix

And it would indeed be a sexy thing to be (a phoenix).

Yetichan having left this morning on a trip to China for school and vacational reasons, I will be using our journal, which has been dead for way too long, to post random thoughts about various things, so we can keep an oversea connection. :)

Hockey being almost a religion here in Montreal (our hometown), it had to happen that we'd be exposed to it, and the exposition actually had a positive conclusion. We love the sport in itself! It's amazing to watch.

So here it is. Tonight is Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final. Detroit's Redwings are in advance 2 wins to 1 for the Pittsburgh's Penguins. Both of us being quite fond of goalies - it takes such a peculiar and particular personality to want to do a job where every time you commit a mistake, a red light goes on, a siren highlights it, and 23,000 people almost mock you, we're cheering for Marc-Andre Fleury's Penguins.


  • I just watched the Flower walking from his car to the arena's door, and guess what? He was wearing... a cap I think! so dork! And his keys in his hands. Awww
  • Chris Osgood looks like Dr Coulton (McGill University, Microbiology and Immunology) I find. What do you think? It's a little... disturbing.
  • I think Eriksson has something for Chris Osgood... Last game he was so much on him it felt... dodgy. Ericsson is so hugs, and Chris is tiny.
Period 1
  • A few min in, Kromwall penalty. PP Penguins. First Goal of the game on a second rebound by Malkin. Osgood couldn't find the puck. Btw, before this, I was going to say it seemed like the game was slow. Maybe will pick up from now.
  • 4:00 played. Pierre Houde: Les Redwings soudainement semblent complètement destabilisés.
  • First real shot against Flower: Pock. (stopped. ror)
  • 8:00 Osgood just did an important save on Crosby on a breakaway. Sidney can be so powerful! Amazing to see him cross the ice.
  • I love when Flower tries to poke check the pucks! I mean it's just sexy seeing it, he dares to do it. He's rather athletic too!
  • 9:50. OMG Flower is so sharp! The Wings just had like 4 shots (2 shots and 2 rebounds) and he stopped them all! they were all close to him, bloking his view and all. He finished with a sweet glove save.
  • The Wings D-men seem tired... According to RDS, probably being tired from long series. Age has an effect.
  • PP for Wings (Eaton, 2 min). Referees are so weird. End of story. This was a legitimate call, but there was a similar gesture which should have been called just seconds after but wasn't. It would have been PK for pens, so I don't care, but it just proves my point.
  • My God Flower! He did another amazing save. Amazing because I can't believe he saw the shot! Then he dived to get the puck under his glove and got it.
  • 13 shots Wings vs 4 Pens. Pens 1- Wings 0 still. MAF's job obviously!
  • 4-4 for almost 2 min. 3 min to go. The Wings had a one-man amazing control and was out of Flower's reach, but his pass missed! ror. But... scored at the end. 1-1 end of first. This could affect the mental.

2nd Period
  • Stewart scored. 2-1 Redwings. Guerin deviated it or was blocking Flower's view. Went over Flower's shoulder. Go Pens! Get it together! they're old and getting tired! Go!
  • Shots are Pens 12 - Wings 20. So the Pens are coming back.
  • Wings are "back in the game" and now suddenly, it's the Pens going a bit everywhere, unstructured.
  • .... Should I just not watch? You know, the curse...
  • PK for Malkin...
  • Ok.. I'm going to watch much less.
  • Oh.. I wasn't watching and Staal scored. 2-2! GO PENS!
  • OH OH OH! Crosby scored now!!! huge goal! then right fell after hitting the band and everyone was on him. 3-2 sweet. (and again, wasn't watching... >.>)
  • ............. OK! 4-2 now!!! Kenedy! But jeez, I stop watching and they score like mad! Jeez. It's good for them but sad for us/me. Good thing I'm recording this game though! ;)
  • second done. The pens outshot the wings in the second (although as of the second, their shots is more numerous than the pens')
3rd Period
  • If the games finishes with this scored it will be: game 1 and 2: same score. and game 3-4: same score. ror
  • 32 vs 22 the shots now... The wings try hard and sincerely, the Pens are like playing defensive now.. I personally think they should play more attack.. Echec-avant you know? To tire the wings. But at least Flower is sharp. But the Pens shouldn't only rely on that.
  • BON! I lost some lines but oh well, nothing happened except that The Pens won! 4-2 and the series is 2-2 now!
  • MAF was interviewed by the cheapest-RDS-employee-EVER but was such a looooooove!! He's got FRECKLES!!
  • RDS is saying how the Wings didn't play like they're capable of doing. Are they tired? Who cares as long as the Pens keep being SHARP!!


On other things...

I bought a mousepad in the end! Lol It's okay. I know you're telling yourself that you forgot about giving me the one you wanted to lend to me, but it's alright. I like it.

MAF is the cuteness. And Cam, he loves you!! robes robes!

I didn't work on my article today... But I was able to figure out a lot of things with Endnote. I downloaded the new version, but it fooked me up a little as it has a different presentation. Should be good now. Tomorrow is hard working day and working day 1!

Bon.. that's it! I wonder how you're doing. I forgot to ask you about your flights and stuff, so I don't know anything about when you were supposed to arrive. I would have called your parents... but I didn't want to create stress (you know, if your flight was delayed or something and they didn't know and they were trying to relax.

OH by the way, check these two lovely animal things:
-Leopard and a mouse

-Two gay male penguins raising a chiick

-Check how the Flower is cute


Robe you tkk. Tarks rater.
