Is it me, or is hockey season too far off?

What with prospect training camp this upcoming Monday, I feel hockey season is close. But, sadly, it is not. The season begins October 2nd as you may know. The good news is, there's a game on my birthday, November 21 (yes just 2 days after Sykkie and merely a week before Fleury's!) against recently- married former Pen Colby Armstrong (Army)! Now that's exciting! I'm expecting big fights, Feds!

WELL,
I got to meet THE STANLEY CUP!
Here's how it goes:
My dad had neck surgery on a wednesday not too long ago (I was unable to post due to freaking business) and the nurse is like well i don't know if you guys are hockey fans, but the stanley cup is on the fifth floor! we were on the sixth. so, naturally, i started hyperventilating! i touched it, got pics which i shall post later but were taken with my cell so they are crappy. i touched the 91 pens but not the 92, and i forgot to check for the canes and the staal misspelling and also i forgot to look for gretzky.
anyways, here's who's coming to prospect camp (don't forget ulfie's son is going to college)----------

I'm SO PUMPED FOR OCTOBER!

Guerin, Adams, Feds, and my new favorite Samuelsson

I already love Philip Samuelsson!

True, he's playing for college next year, but his dad is legendary! How can you not love his son? I found this good pic on the pens website- (I search it for signs of Tangers everyday)

Hmm, he's no Kris, but he's pretty cute.

So, my whole family is VERY happy, but also a little sad.

Why, you may ask? Well, unless you take residence under a rock, the Pens finally signed The Master, Billy G (is for Gangsta!). But, they signed Craig Adams. And see, my family (except my sister who hates hockey) loves all of the Pens. Except Adams. And Gill. One of the only ones we don't really love (we truly love TK the most; how could we not? He's awesome and he's got the same last name as us!).

Plus, they didn't sign Fedotenko or Sykora! I love them two almost as much as I love Guerin! Now, they're going to test out Free-agency, thanks to ADAMS! I suppose I should trust Ray, though. Gotta have faith. Gotta get an XBOX 360 so I can get the game with Patrick Kane on it instead of the game with Ovi's ugly-ass face on it. Sigh. Life is tough.

NHL Awards tonight!

Was too excited to post.

6-12-09:
Had obsessive hockey friends over. We screeched and shrieked for the entire last minute, then went outside, group-hugged, screamed, and jumped up and down.

<-------------Much like this. (I would be Tangers. He's rockin' that hair. <3)
6-15-09:

parade, complete with 23-year-old bitch ON HER DAD'S SHOULDERS!

her excuse: "I'm friends with them!"

thomas for vezina

chara for norris

ryan for calder

kesler for selke

st. louis for lady bing.

Sid, Petr, and Geno, BFFs! (Don't leave us, Sykie!)

I love kunitz, eaton, godard, cooke, and petr's expressions. Are those not wonderful looks?!

Next stop: Hart Trophy. Then back to Russia with Mama and Papa Malkin.

NHL Awards tonight at 7:30 on Versus. Let's watch Geno pwn Ovi once more!

Great special on him BTW on FSN. SportsBeat Rewind. Very nice.
Also-
In My Own Words: Mario Lemieux

that one was so great! Mario is a really nice guy who considers himself a Pittsburgher, at least in 2005.

Morning before Game 6 (6-9-09)

Well.

No post-game for game 5. I was too busy CRYING!
I cry way too much during hockey.
Flyers: Geno waived of goal; I cried.
Caps: Lost game 6; I sobbed unconsolably.
Canes: Well, I didn't really have to cry there, now did I? I suppose seeing them hold the Prince of Wales trophy did make me emotional. But in a good way. I started fanning myself and shrieking like a 11 year old High School Musical fan. Embarrassing: yes. Did I care: no.


So, this morning, before I die of addiction to the 'guins, I'm doing a post-game. In a pre-game.
Let's start with what went wrong (other than EVERYTHING) in game 5.

Defense: WHERE?!?!? The only defense I could see was Letang and Eaton trying to get the puck out and block shots! Too bad MAF could see Orpik standing in front of the man with the puck. And didn't see the man with the puck. OR THE PUCK! And Sarge: Undescribably BAD! Where was the veteran defenseman? He looked like me trying to stand up and handle a puck at the same time. And I suck at skating. I know he's not 100 percent, but come on!
I ask you, What the PUCK!?
Offense: Too busy filling in for the defense. Oh, there goes Sid! What's he doing? Oh he just blocked a shot! Try making a shot.
Goaltending: Very few of those goals were actually Fleury's fault. (see defense!)
What made me sad was the look on Flower's face, and the fact that Garon played better. Still, I'm Flower Power all the way. Usually I blame Fleury. This game was everyone's fault! I liked last year's game 5 much better!


What we have to do today:
Score.
Score.
Score.
Score again!
Score an empty- netter.
Score with a defensemen.
Score with an offensive player.
Hit Zetterberg into the boards.
Tell HOssa to Go **** himself!
Tell Deadtroit I mean Detroit that it sucks.
Push HOssa into a never-ending well of doom and destruction (and the image of Sidney Crosby hoisting the Stanley Cup).
Break Osbad!
Tell Mike Babcock to stop whining and give it up, you attention- grabbing idiot.

Let's go Pens!
Make up for Pittsburgh's lack of baseball skills with your abundance of hockey skills!
