First of all, Kez just got the gold star for the day. She knows why, you all just need to know how awesome she is.
Last night's game. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. For those of you who don't know, this is the first time I've watched Bruins versus Lightning since I've called myself a Lightning fan. There were just a handfull of things that really made my brain explode. Ryan scoring, of course. That's my rookie (though he's not a rookie anymore) and just mine. It's a long story, but yeah, that was really hard not to cheer for. Guys like Marty and Vinny and Russy getting tossed around was hard not to say "hey! don't do that!" Except when Chara started shoving my rookie, then I got mad. And the other thing was the face-offs. I've had to pay attention to those recently for another reason, and when Ryan took the few he took, it was hard not to cheer for him. Other than that, I was happy to see my Bruins playing well and thrilled we won. I have the game on tape (DVD) of course, so maybe I'll do real game notes sometime.
In other hockey: Yay for Buffalo kicking more ass. Yay for Atlanta handing Florida their asses on a silver platter. Yay for Carolina having yet to win a game. Damn Dallas. Yay for Minnesota and Brian scoring the GWG! Damn Calgary, but wow for Joffrey making a lot of people not miss Chris. Yay for Sharks shutout! I would have had more to say if my lazy self had written this yesterday. As it is, that's all.
PIC SPAM!
That would be my darling scoring the game winner at 18:something.
Also my darling. "Oh, so sorry, did I knock you over?"
No, Alix, you still can't have him back.
That is one of two things. I'm going with he's trying to scare Patrice.
Nope, can't have him either. And it's hard to remember that seeing Marco and Glen on the ice at the same time isn't a Power Play.
Everyone looks really into what Yan's saying.
That's my Ryan. After he scored. On my team. Mini head exploding.
He squees like a child. It's wonderful.
See?!
What more do I need to say?
The Ranger seems to be enjoying the view.
Yeah, me too.
I'm lovin' that.
Yep, Simon's great. But this is mostly for Peter with the mouth guard.
Duckman.
The Canadians are at it again, shocking the poor Finn.
After the first Av game I watched, I thought Paul had a friend. See?
Don't tell me Kari is one of those goalies . . .
People shouldn't stand Sammy next to Craig, it's just too funny.
Aww, sad Marty. *snicker* *snicker*
That just looks weird. But good riddance! Sic 'im, Marty!
Just me or is his hair blowing in the wind?
Not a friend, but to someone I'm sure this looks strange. Not me. I like Jamie in Jersey.
Two words: Yes, please.
No, Saku dear, you missed the puck.
I just like that picture, that's all.
Paul, if you really have any hope of stopping Marco, staying up on your skates is key.
I don't know yet, but at least they didn't make their new replacement D Captain.
Kari is the C in the YMCA.
Noticed the tongue this time.
Bad Ryan! No Foppa squishing!
"No, seriously, what are you doing stopping me from scoring?"
Um . . . is it me that's confused or is that not Kyle?
Insert short joke here.
Stop it! You're giving the Islander ideas!
Best in the fuckin' league.
Yeah, my tongue might be out if I was huggin' him, too.
Yay for Brian!
Finnish tongue!
More Finnish tongue!
That's it for now. Wish there were more Oilers pics, but oh well.
