WTF?

How much padding is he wearing? He looks ridiculous.

Who else looks ridiculous?
Arron Asham. For reals, dude. Maybe you can buy a clue and share it with your fans. You are going to cry to the media about Matt Cooke biting you? Or shall we call it Hartnelling instead of biting? Yes, we shall.

"There was a scrum, I grabbed him. There were two guys on Harts and my glove got tangled in his mouth and he bit me, so I lost it.

It’s not bad, but he’s a gutless guy. I have no respect for him at all. I lined up against him and asked him to fight and he didn’t want to. If you go and bite someone … I just have no use for him.

He does his job well. He’s an agitator. He’s garbage to me and I have no respect for him at all.

You should have a little more honor than that. Usually if you bite somebody you stick up for yourself and you fight the guy. Not this guy, he’s chicken and I have no respect for him. He plays the game hard and I respect him for that, but he yaps, he’s a dirty player. At least a guy like (Sean) Avery fights. This guy is just chicken (bleep) and I hate him.

It would have been better if he dropped the gloves with me, but he’s got no stones."

I practically peed myself. Hilarious. "I have no respect for him at all" x 3. Then, "He plays the game hard and I respect him for that." And, come on, no stones? Get real. I think biting in sports is gross but we ALL know Cookie wouldn't have gone there if Letang wasn't bitten by that gross Hartnell. Not to mention, I am all for our guys sticking up for Lelover whenever possible/necessary.

You know who didn't look ridiculous?
The Penguins.
We'll name a few:
Kris Letang. All fighting and stuff. HOTT. (As an aside, he scored a goal in our loss to the Caps.)
Ruslan Fedotenko. He's been golden lately. (Three assists in the Caps loss and one in Philthy.)
Sergei Gonchar. He won that game.
Matt Cooke. He does his job well. And? He also scores goals. PP goals, even.
Jordan Staal. Because he never does.

I have a confession. And if I can't confess here, where can I? *takes deep breath* There is a possibility that I do not loathe Daniel Carcillo. Yeah, I said it.

Rangers tonight.

Let's go Pens!

Dude. Our 3rd line

is my favorite thing ever.

Jordan Staal is a fucking hero.

3rd Period
03:18 -Tyler Kennedy (9) Wrist Shot - Assists: J. Staal (18)
06:48 - PPG - Matt Cooke (9) Backhand - Assists: J. Staal (19) & K. Letang (13)
10:30 - Pascal Dupuis (11) Tip-In - Assists: J. Staal (20) & M. Cooke (12)

Primary assists on all three goals in the third period. All three goals we scored in the game. Come on. Shut up. Hello? PP Goal? From who? Our first PP line? No sir. Matt Fucking Cooke on the power play from Staal and Letang. TYVM.

Speaking of Matt Cooke.
Is he adorable or what. (I'm using a period there because it doesn't require your response.)

You know how some boys wear jerseys and refuse to wash them for, like, the whole season because their team will lose the minute they do? Well, I have this Matt Cooke jersey T that is quite comfy and worn and soft. It is practically my favorite thing to wear. I was going through my t-shirts, looking for something to throw on with my fleece reindeer pants the other night and thought to myself... we haven't won a game since the last time I had Cookie on me. So I put it on to watch the game on Wednesday. I wore it again last night. Coincidence? Do you think I can wash it before I wear it again (which will, of course, be tomorrow)? I don't know the rules of this superstition. I can also never remember if the salt goes over your right or left shoulder after you have spilled it.

No minuses on our team last night. Staal and Cooke, our top PKers, both a plus two.

Also, we got a win on my birthday.
Which was also Mr. Michael Rupp's birthday. Captain Sidney got his 30th goal to celebrate Rupp's 30th birthday. What a wonderful leader he is.

I feel the need to post this picture of Jay McKee. Just to let him know I didn't forget about him (even though the people who captioned the above net crash photo did).


Also. Does anybody think it's a coincidence that Kristopher Letang is playing like a Champion since his hair started growing back? No. I didn't think so. No coincidences there. I will post this picture because this Oiler's hair looks like a cruel joke sandwiched between two follicly blessed beauties. How embarrassing for him. He will hate this photo for all time.



This picture is amazing. Magical. Great job, Mr. Photographer.

Saturday night in Vancouver. Power to the Penguins.

In case you didn't see this

in my post yesterday...


Dear Penguins,
Please win tonight. Score lots of goals. Play like Champions.

Dear Cameramen,
Lots of close-ups of the truly gorgeous ones. You know who I mean.

Dear Lelover,
When you're on the bench, feel free to let loose the sexhair. {and pay close attention here, Cameramen}

It is my birthday. These things are important to me. If I only get one of these things I ask for, make it be the first one.

Power to the Penguins.

Jonas! Is! Back!

oh how I love him. Jonas was named the NHL's second star for the week ending 1/10/10.

After watching the Penguins lose again, I tuned into Hockey Central to listen to a phone call with Jonas. It was nice to have something to look forward to after the heartbreak of that game. It was like falling off your bike when you were a little girl and getting a cut on your knee but knowing that when you get home your mom will kiss your boo boo. So I sat there crying during the post game stuff. Then Jonas kissed my boo boo. It didn't heal the wound, but it made me feel better.

Dear Penguins,

Wednesday is my birthday. I don't want a whole lot of things. And the one and only thing I ask of you is to please win in Calgary. It doesn't seem like too much to ask for.

Thank you.

Love always,
Glowie

I haven't been posting too much. I don't know why. So let's summarize the past little while.
- Kris Lelover scored a goal.
- Jordan Staal is a +11. Matt Cooke is a +9.
- Geno needs his ice time cut (or a couple games off).
- The PP sucks.
- Sidney Crosby is the best player in the world. Period.
- Bob Errey said "fuck".
- Curry was pulled out of practice yesterday and was flown to St. Paul. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I was hoping that meant Fleury needed a game or two off. But Brent Johnson hurt his groin. Fleury wasn't too terrible last night though... if we're comparing it to the last however many games before.
- Brooksie is "day to day" for something and I do not care because that means he's not on the ice pushing people on top of our goalie and chasing hits instead of playing the puck.
- I still miss Rob Scuderi. So much. He's not playing for the USA in the Olympics. Don't ask me why. Oh, but Orpik is. I know, right. The mind, she is boggled.



This is nice. Third in points and tied for first in goals. I'll screencap it... not because I don't think he'll stay at the top, but because I want to end on a positive.
