A side of beef

I don't know what to say or think about the Sabres.

They are missing Thomas Vanek. It can't matter. It can't be ALLOWED to matter. Ditto Jochen Hecht.

GET IT TOGETHER YOU FOOLS!

P.S. Timmay Connolly is on my last nerve. I don't have much patience for Timmay and think he rarely plays to his potential. There is something about him that just bugs me to no end. I think it's because he always strikes me as SO effing lazy. I am a total Derek Roy apologist, but at least Royzie is usually trying something. It's not always the best thing to be trying and sometimes he tries too much, but usually he's making an effort. Tim is just a lazy piece of crap most of the time.

Meanwhile, there is other hockey going on and I've seen a bit of it. Ryan Kesler already owns me but I must say his playoff beard is mucho foxy. Ditto Patrick Sharp. MMmhmm. I may watch the 'Hawks game tonight, we'll see if I make it back downstairs. I'm feeling a bit lazy tonight and like I might decide to read and then turn in early.

Oh yes and here it the reference to my title- WHAT is up with Versus NOT playing a single game from the Devils/Flyers series? everyone else gets airtime but not them. Is there some sort of weird dealio going on that I don't know about? I think that is HIGHLY rude.

hahaha

I'm sorry but I have to laugh when it's Soupy Campbell who had the giveaway that lead to the Red Wings OT goal tonight. Well done boss. I never liked Soupy that much, he was alright when he was on, but when he was off he was horrid and I was so tired of him when he finally left that it was just good riddance at that point.

Much as I've been flirting with the Blackhawks this post-season, I do still love the \Red Wings and I'm happy that they are winning. But I need more Blackhawks wins so that this series can continue. I can't wait till they are in Chicago.

I did enjoy the commercial with Burrish wanting to change traditions and taking out the Octopus.. that was pretty cool.

Eventually I'll get around to doing a post about how annoyed I am that the NHL awards are going to be in (gag) Vegas this year but it won't be tonight. I do have===ome things to say about that though..

No hockey tomorrow? What is up with that? it should be every other day. lame! But nooo I could be watching hockey tomorrow night but noooo.. oh well. Guess that's it for now.

Oh and check this link- it's TOO CUTE! Wings Build-a-BearD competition

Speaking of Beards- the Blackhawks are winning the head-to-head Beard-a-Thon against the Wings with over $15k raised so far, to the Wings' ~$12k. So cool. I love me some playoff beards, and beards for a good cause is awesome. And I just pledged Sharpie's beard for $25 to Chicago charities. How cool is that?! GO VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE beard and donate some money to a good cause! :):)

peach fuzz

Okay guys- seriously, I think the Chicago Blackhawks read my blog. I asked for input on playoff beards- and what do they do? They run a 2:35 segment on playoff beards. There is a lot of Sharpie face time- it made me want to lick my computer screen. Oh, sorry tmi I'm sure. And I cackled like a fool every time they showed poor Kaner and his fuzz. Too great. Toews was mysteriously absent- guess he doesn't want to defend his poor baby-face. LOVE IT, FELLAS. LOVE IT.



Please sir, may I have some more?

ok I am really tired

so there will be no post tonight.. but I must stop slacking, and I found a great hockey SAB so here it is:



-Canucks Coach Alain Vigneault

AND



-Actor Vincent D'Onofrio

Separated at Birth? YOU Be the judge. I'm totally feelin this one. :)

Still awaiting some response on the question of playoff beards..help me out here, people! I know that someone is reading this- I see it on google analytics. So where are you and how do you feel? TELL ME!

that was refreshing!

First off, my first round predictions were a little off.. LOL 3/4 in the East and 2/4 in the West. I was really pulling for the Blue Jackets and I'm sad that they lost. But there is no shame in losing to the Red Wings, it happens. I hear the show in C-bus was off the hook and that is good. They have now made it to the post-season, this is progress, and next season will be even better. Well done boys. :) Y'all have nothing to be ashamed of.

so I *finally* got around to watching a spot of playoff hockey tonight. I turned on the Blackhawks/Canucks with about 12 mins left in the 3rd. What a show. The 'Hawks scored 2, the 'Nucks scored 2 and the Canucks ended with the win. I think I should do this more often. I actually casually enjoy both of those teams so I certainly won't mind watching a bit more.

It was a weird feeling though, because the last time the Blackhawks and Canucks played each other in the playoffs was Round 2 in 1995- and the 'Nuckies got swept, much to my dismay. I vividly recall watching game 4 with my sisters. It was an afternoon game- Saturday I think- and the weather was nice so the windows were open. I'm glad we lived on a quiet street cuz any random passers-by would have been weirded out by the mad yelling that went on that day. It was pretty stressful. Weird how some things just stay with you..

Anyway it was cool to finally watch some post-season hockey. I feel like a total slacker, but in my defence, I have been stupidly busy since the playoffs started, and had things going on almost every evening. Then I was annoyed because they weren't showing MY teams when I could watch. Bastards. It was a little rude of the league to schedule without consulting me, don't ya think? LOL

A few parting thoughts..

*tomorrow I'm going to see Wolverine and I'm super excited!
*my sis and I have decided that Luongo is henceforth known as LuLu.
*I know it's been noted on many an occasion, but I will say again that Patrick Sharp is lovely. in fact, tonight I went as far as to call him "excrutiatingly lovely", because well, he is.
And he looks FINE AS HELL with a playoff beard. Very good look for ya, Patrick. Carry on my man, Carry on.
