And now we're getting ready for the Olympics

I haven't blogged in a while. Heaven knows it's not because I've had nothing to say. I've just been busy. I guess. So our boys lost to the Preds yesterday in a shoot-out. I didn't even think it was possible for us to lose in a SO.

Kris Letang has been a monster. Brooks Orpik has been a... well, he's been not throwing people onto our goalie, so he's been great. And! And! He scored a goal yesterday. The teaming of them together helps to keep my heart beating. Jordan is, as always, a beast. I'm not sure how I feel about Jordan and Geno on the same line. I love Cooke-Staal-Kennedy so it's hard to be unbiased. Feds is a -16 now. How does that happen to him? Everybody likes to talk about how terrible he's been but I don't see it. I think he's pretty great. He wasn't one of my favorites last season but I've been loving him this season. As an aside, he is breathtakingly gorgeous in person. wow. But I bumped into him, or rather he bumped into me, after I was already loving him. Sidney Crosby is a machine, man. MAF has been questionable at times. Billy G is a liability most times. His presence on the PP makes me cry. I'm guessing they feel some sort of obligation to him. That's the only thing that makes sense. And I guess if Sid wants him there... Well, let us hope that this two week break does him good. He should sleep for two weeks and Jay McKee should soak in an ice bath. Speaking of Jay McKee, he went to visit Children's Hospital one day after practice. He's a beautiful man. Hockey players are like no others. *sigh*

We made it through to the trade freeze with only one trade. Nate Guenin for... somebody who is an offensive defenseman. This makes me nervous. I worry about losing any of our offensive d-men but mostly I worry about losing Letang (of course). I have a few other worries but none of those would have as much of a negative impact on my happiness and well-being.

gah. work. More later.

USA! USA! USA!
