spice it up

Today is Wednesday.

Hockey starts tomorrow! for really for realz. :) I am soooo excited and ready to roll.

So, in honor of the return of hockey, I present you the return of Hockey Separated at Birth.. I am going to try and make it a weekly thing again, because I enjoy doing them. (It may also help me to post more..)

This one was inspired by a post that Anne wrote over at Queen City Sabres about the Kings. Enjoy!

Today we have:


The ever-lovely (even though I won't watch "Supernatural" because it's too creepy) Jensen Ackles

AND



LA Kings goalie Jonathan Bernier.

Separated at Birth? YOU be the judge. Anne used that pic of Bernier and I was immediately struck with the likeness.. and some definite hotness. :)

hilarious randomness

Oh here we go with the NHL Skills Competition. Good times. I missed the trick shot (why did they do that first?) but I just saw that Ovie won it. What was he wearing? He's so random.. I love it. His hair is out of control.

And how adorable is Marc Savard? Who knew? Oh yeah, he's a Bruin. Gross. I don't like those guys, but like Pookie and Schnookie point out, it's okay to like enemies during the all-star festivities.

I should be paying attention. This is a prime chance to collect some Hockey SABs for the future.

For some weird reason, I can't ever remember what Ilya Kovalchuk looks like. I'm always surprised when I see him. It makes no sense but there it is.

The accuracy shot is kickin. I have no idea how they do that.. it's amazing. I love how they are playing the Mission Impossible theme during the shooting.

Aww these commercials are too cute. I liked the Ovie, Chara and Savard one where they were saying 'you're watching the Honda Super Skills competition on VS" in their own languages, that was sweet. And when I saw the commercial a couple of nights ago where they had clips of the big guns and "Bonjour Alex", "Bienvienu a Montreal", etc. It almost made me cry. No idea why, but it was one of those moments.

YAY Stevie Yzerman won the "Bridgestone Captain" award. He totally deserved it. Stevie is the man.

I love how ppl are just tossing stuff over the glass to be autographed. So fun. I want to hit an all-Star game one day..

Holy Whoa- Chara hooked it up with 105.4! That is serious.. and good for him giving money to his charity for winning.

I wonder how many players (I know Vanek is one) who are here tonight DON'T have a letter on their chest. We have a lot of Captains and a lot of Alternates.

By the way, Sheldon Souray is smokin.

Oh wow, Vanek's shot in the Elimination Shootout was sweet! I liked his swirly move over the puck before he shot. Good stuff. He lost in round 2. Awwwww. Love the hair, did Royzie help him out with that? LOL

I am getting mad ideas for hockey SABs.. this is good because pickings were slim there for a while.

And it's over. Doan won the Elimination Shootout. That was pretty fun. I was totally pulling for Savard because he was so darn cute with his commentary but oh well. I really enjoy Doan too so it's all good. At least it wasn't someone icky like Hedjuk.

Ah hockey.. and hockey boys all up close and personal. How fun. Now it's time to do something else.

!

I saw my first live hockey of the year last night- the Blue Jackets and Predators. It was a great time. I love hockey and hockey with a big group of crazy friends is even better!

Columbus won the game, they had a couple of fights and we about had a rumble with some skanks in front of us. It was a complete evening. Oh and we started the "Let's go Jackets" chant a couple of times cuz we're awesome like that.

I hate the Predators. Have I said that here before? Yick. The Sabres only played them once last year and that was a crazy game. I'm glad we don't have to see them more often.

Today it's off to watch CBJ practice at 11, then back to Dayton for the afternoon. Wright State and UD play hockey at 5:40 so I will go to that, and probably an open skate afterward, reliving my high school years spent skating every saturday night. WOohoo!

I love vacation! ;)
