The June 7 thing-ma-jiggy with it
WARNING: This is going to be REALLY scatter brain.
It was really emotional to just BE in that building. Even sitting outside it in the disgusting heat. Watching people in jersey's play games, and kids shoot pucks, and the HUGE pic of Captain Dave on the wall. I felt home again. I found my self again. I haven't felt like that in a LONG time. I was loud, and happy, and full of life. Hanging out in the locker room, taking pictures in lockers, touching the love of my life's helmet, and wishing I could get away with sticking it under my shirt and walking out. Wishing I could see him one more time, just told tell him that I really do love him, even if it isn't reciprocated, that I think he is wonderful, and so full of life, and I will always admire, and respect what he has done, in the game, and out of the game for me. Seeing Scott Audette's gorgeous pictures hanging on display again. See ALL the trophies we won displayed proudly, it was so amazing. I've never seen so much BLING in one room in my life. Seeing all the silent auction items and I probably would have killed to have. They took pics of the boys with the cup, and put them on HUGE blankets, and they had hand made pottery..there was a door hanger that said "SHUT YOUR YAP!" I was about 5 seconds from getting that, I might still if I can find it somewhere. Game used sticks, framed and matted pictures, autographed pictures...the one I really wanted was of the Iginla/Vinny fight. Man that would have looked SWEET on my wall. We got free Stanley Cup Champion DVD's when we got inside, nevermind that we bought them as soon as they came out last year. I think there are 4 unwrapped brand new ones in my house right now. Anyone need one? :) My sister Monica got the new Picture/Quote book for free, she got 3 of them, and game one to me and one to my mom, I gave mine to my friend Dani, cause she deserved it. My sister, the crazy ass that she is, was up front trying to get on tv with our friend Justin, and Ron Campbell was up there signing autographs, and my sister wanted a pic of THE RING, and when she took the pic of it on his hand, the camera didn't work, so Ron says "Here why don't you hold onto it for me?" He takes the ring off his finger and hands it to my sister, and walks off to sign more autographs!!!! I almost died when she told me, and I was like, UGH I WANT TO HOLD THE RING! The pics are cute though, she is mad lucky.
I wasn't too bad off, until we were sitting in the stands getting ready for the game to be played, and they started playing WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, and Mike Bolt brought the cup out, and I lost it, crying like a little girl. I couldn't help it. Everyone was making fun of me, I guess I don't blame them. They kept showing the tape from the guys in the lockerroom after winning, drinking champagne out of the cup, it was so beautiful. It broke my heart, I never thought I could miss something so much. I miss the game so much, and I miss those boys more than I could say! I loved that when we scored in the game, they blared our goal horn, it was soooo awesome. I was screaming so much. *sigh*
It's just really hard wondering about what we have missed over this last season. So much could have happened. We could have won it again, but no. We didn't get to. I just want the game back. The best thing I heard last night, was Jay Feaster get up on stage and say that as soon as the CBA is done, he is going to work on getting everyone back on the team together. THAT is all I want. The team the way it was. I have never had to deal too much with my favorites being traded, except when we lost Darcy Tucker.
It was a good night. I miss it. Here's to a quick resolve to this ridiculous mess. Much love to the Forum Staff, and The Lightning Staff for putting that together for us. Though it did not compare to a real time game with our boys, it was something we needed.
AND my pictures I took, came out AWESOME! YUMMY! :)
