What Orange Hell is This???

Jul 09, 2011 21:26

I promised skybound2 that we would have a hockey talk, and then life, the draft and Unrestricted Free Agency happened. And now here we are weeks later. More than likely she doesn't even need a summary of events now, but I was determined to write something. I started off prepared to talk about the draft and UFA day in general, and then ended up just ( Read more... )

I'll probably end up posting about my Habs next just to spite all the non-hockey watchers on my F-list.

THERE IS NO SPITING. THIS IS ONLY GOOD NEWS.

Have you been too busy escaping to your luxurious cabin -- seriously, why does everyone have a family cabin except me? -- to follow the Habs? Do you need to be updated??? You are in luck because my brother-in-law also needs to be updated (limited internet time while deployed overseas), so I've already started typing things up. :D

How are all things Gold and Dollary?

We might not have the family cabin much longer! It's very sad. D: D:

I FOLLOW EVERYONE'S TWEETS?? But I would love an update, it always sounds best coming from you anyway!

THIS! I am SHAMEFULLY behind in my LJing, so I JUST found this post, and she does the most amazing write ups. *is thankful*

Okay, so, I totally missed this post. *hands head in shame* BUT I AM SO GLAD THAT I FOUND IT. Especially tonight, as I had time to actually READ it all, and nod my head, and whimper, and cross check things, and be reminded about my [several] freak outs that I had last month, when this was all going down.

I've mentioned before, and I'll say it again, YOU MAKE THE BEST HOCKEY WRITE UPS.

So, SOME THOUGHTS:
No one in their right mind knows what in the WORLD the Flyers are doing!!! *nods* *a lot* *til her head falls off* Seriously. I think I spent the entire trade/draft session with my head cocked all the way to my shoulder, trying to figure out what was going on ( ... )

YEAH! you found it and liked it. \o/

I know that Carcillo is a dick, but he was OUR dick
This is how I feel about Lapierre, and it is why I MISS HIM SO MUCH!!! When he first left I was furious with him, and then he had some good games in the payoffs and I felt PRIDE... and then he trolled the Bruins AND I HAD SUCH LOVE!!! the entire final round I keep saying "LAPPY COME HOME!!!!" and then I would cry. :'(

Bearing in mind that I really DON'T like Pronger being the senior leader on the team. His attitude has always rubbed me the wrong way, more than a lot of the others on the team.

I'm the same actually. I don't like Pronger, I think he is a smarmy bully, but the team seems to respond to him. I was actually very surprised by his conduct at the Olympics because he completely changed and became incredibly respectful. I don't know if that was the Yzerman effect or what, but it was like night and day.

I don't like Gagne being on the West coast; I won't get to see him play that often. :(

I'm kinda hopeful that Pronger will start to behave himself a bit more. The team is going to need the stability after all of this shaking!

THIS. I haven't quite figured out HOW I am getting my hockey next year though, so I might get lucky and be able to get out of area games. WE SHALL SEE.

<>you can always burn Holmgren as a witch in downtown Philly
Knowing Philly like I do, there is a good chance this might happen anyway.

Two things I forgot to add to this:

1) Gagne will get to play with Richards again, so you could always start cheering for the Kings if you have to file for separation from the Flyers for a time. Occasionally couples need some time APART! *nods*

2) We have back to back pre-season games against the Bruins and it terrifies me. Patches and Chara on the ice together... *shudder* I'm going to cringe at every hit Patches throws or receives next season, I KNOW IT! And since the same is going to happen with Markov ... I'll be having heart attacks every game!
