OMG! I hate my life!

They're saying that Daddy Gonchar is going to be out four to six weeks with a broken wrist. I guess I jinxed him with the love I have been heaping on him lately.

At one point during the game last night, I got really irritated with one of the idiotic Versus announcers. I kept it all bottled up until it bubbled over and finally let 'er rip. "THESE IDIOTS ARE SO STUPID! That one said McKee's a former Bluejay. They're the BLUES not Bluejays." My husband laughed at me and said the other stupid guy's name is Jay. So he said, "He's a former Blue, Jay." I was all, "oh. Well I still hate listening to games on Versus."

Kris Letang was a little ball of fire last night. Two assists. One of them was a sweet slapper that Mr. Matthew Cooke re-directed into the area of the net. Thank you for the help, Cookie. That was sure to be a pinger if he hadn't touched it with his magic stick. They were the first and third stars of the night. Star number two was Geno. FINALLY I can't argue about the chosen stars. Anyway, I thought maybe Tanger being so awesome would make everybody stop sucking on Alex Goligoski long enough to take notice. But then. Guess what happened. Goosey slapped one right in Conklin's net. Sweet. Is it weird that I have such a distaste for GoGo? I try to like him. Truly I do. I just can't get that feeling out of my gut that he's trying to steal the TangerThunder. Or that sick memory of how I had that sinking feeling about them not re-signing Scuderi once Goligoski signed his contract. Not that the two can be compared at all, like, ever.

Speaking of Jay McKee. I may or may not be a tad bit in love with him. When we are winning the game by three or four goals, one might think that he wouldn't be out there trying to block EVERY SINGLE shot. But. He does. I'm pretty sure the score could be 20-0 and he would still try his hardest to get in the way of every puck flung in Fleury's direction.

I realize the season is still pretty fresh but Marc Andre Fleury is a perfectly stunning 8-0-0. He wasn't in net for our 0-3 loss against the Coyotes. Sometimes I like to pretend that didn't even happen.

8-1-0

oooh that sweet sweet swagger.

I'll keep you by my side with

my superhuman might.

I was reading this article about Rob Scuderi getting his Stanley Cup Ring and I was okay about it... until I let my mind go off and do that thing it does. It only took about 2.3 seconds too. I've been finding it difficult to watch the multiple games that I wanted to watch. Penguins, Ducks, Kings, Blackhawks. It's harder than it sounded to me. Thank goodness for the NHL channel and NHL on the Fly. Watching the Kings highlights makes me feel really happy and sad all at the same time. It's so gratifying to see my Superhero doing good things but it's so upsetting that he's doing it for somebody else now.

The Ducks lost to the Rangers yesterday (3-0) and I said to myself, "I guess Hiller sat this one out." Sure enough, he did.

Scotty Hartnell is free to bite as many people as he wants to. The league did nothing to him because there wasn't enough evidence. Teeth marks and blood don't mean you've been bitten, I guess.

Penguins are 4-1 and that's all that really matters.

And Eric Godard is still awesome.

What a man.

The tone is set

Thanks to, oh yeah you guessed it, that douchebag Hartnell.

Letang bitten by Hartnell? from Dagger on Vimeo.

Is it wrong that while my poor baby was having his finger tended to... because he was bitten by a supposed man... mostly all I could think about was how fucking unbelievably gorgeous he is? wow. My husband always turns it back to that too. I can't comment on how awesome Letang is without him saying something about the way he looks. I CANNOT HELP THE WAY HE LOOKS! He is dropdead but he also has great hands and is smooth as buttah.

Our first of six games against Philthydelphia this year.

oh, you thought Craig Adams couldn't get any sexier? ha! Fooled you.
Notice the time of this fight.



Captain helped Geno get a goal without getting credit... except, of course, for the "Crosby sucks" chants.
Jordan Staal had a sweet goal. His first of the season... already... in game four. I hope that sets a tone for him. He used his entire body for it. It was delicious.
Billy G had a sexy goal. The Flyers basically let him fly solo with the puck exactly long enough to make Emery cry too hard for him to stop the puck from going fivehole.
Cookie and Craig set up mylittlepony, Tyler Kennedy, for a well earned goal.
DaddyGonch played like sex.
The Philthy goalie, Emery, off a pass from Coburn, kicked the puck in the goal for us. Alex Goligoski got the credit for it.

It might be a little bit ungood how in love I am with the Ducks.

We play them twice in November. They're here on November 16th and I must have tickets. Or maybe I shouldn't go to that game because it will be tough for me to not CHEER INSANELY every time Jonas Hiller makes a sweet save.

Man, I love hockey.

I will get more into the posting when other things calm down.

swords, islands and 20 cents

Dude. No town I have ever lived in has ever had a sign with my name on it.

I have never been driven in a mf'ing helicopter to my party of 50,000+ people wanting to celebrate with me.

And? Nobody has ever let me use a sword to cut my birthday cake.

You better believe my family is going to see Sidney's birthday party pictures.

What is up with Patrick Kane? Obviously, his cousin is a bad influence. This is just terrible.

"The report stated that at about 5 a.m. EDT, the cousins took a cab from Chippewa Street, an area in Buffalo known for its nightlife, to Eastwood Place, with the fare totaling $13.80. The men handed over $15, but when Radecki gave back a dollar and said he didn't have the 20 cents change, James Kane tore the money from his hand and both men began punching the driver in the face and head, according to the report."

yikes. I think I'll hold off on purchasing Kane merch. (Duncan Keith is my 'Hawk anyway.)


And here goes Daddy Gonch turning me into pudding again. I was reading his entry in the Cup journal. First of all, the dude lives on Fisher Island, which is pretty cool. Second of all, he played with a partially torn ligament in his knee. Third of all, he signed pictures for a $20 donation... proceeds going to Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. What a man.

hmmmm. Which definition...

1. to bring or restore to a state of peace or tranquillity; quiet; calm: to pacify an angry man.
2. to appease: to pacify one's appetite.
3. to reduce to a state of submission, esp. by military force; subdue.

... fits best when this man is wearing this shirt?

"I pacify you. You pacify me."

I know. Right. *le sigh*

There is a whole big photobucket account with pictures from Kris LeLover's day with the Cup.

Don't ask me how I found it.


Steelers v. Cardinals this Thursday. Yay football! That means it's getting close to hockey. *gets out pom poms*

The Cup in Long Island with The Piece

Summary of his day (it was Friday the 17th) here. Is it weird that it annoys me that he has to share a journal entry with Ray Shero? I'm not bitter towards Shero anymore. Or at least I didn't think I was until I saw his name with Rob's on the journal. That certainly left a bitter taste in my mouth. But that picture up there makes all the bad taste go away.

Jordan has the Cup today. I wonder what kind of crazy things he's doing with it. I bet most of the happenings will not be commented on.

Is it hockey yet?

Not quite yet but it's getting close! The new schedule is up. First regular season game is October 2nd @ NY Rangers.

November 3rd @ Ducks

November 5th @ Kings (Scudsy!)

And then the Ducks are here on November 16th?

That is just mean.

Now that it's officially official

The Penguins have signed Jay McKee to a one-year.

“Jay is a strong defensive defenseman who will bring additional experience to our lineup,” Shero said. “He has great size and is an outstanding shot-blocker, and his veteran presence will help in the continued development of our young defensemen.”

I've been watching him. I'm happy to hear Shero worked his magic on him. Nice.
