OOOH I love it

So this idea came up years ago, whilst watching the BBC miniseries Pride and Predjudice with my sister and friend... the girl who plays Jane looks like Jeremy Roenick. And once such an idea gets in your head, it is hard to remove. I can't watch the movie the same way. But don't take my word for it- see for yourself. I proudly present this week's Separated at Birth:



Susannah Harper

AND



Jeremy Roenick.

Separated at Birth? You be the judge.

I amuse myself too much.

baseball is on tv. Its not as good as hockey. But really, what is?

Whatev.

best job description EVAR:

Vice President, Corporate Sales - Elmira Jackals (Elmira, NY)
from ECHL Jobs Open Jobs
The Elmira Jackals of the ECHL are looking for a VP of Corporate Sales. #1 DUTY - To sell Corporate Partnerships (period)

At least they tell it like it is. LMAO.

That is a job I will NOT be applying for. However, the Lake Erie Monsters (Cleveland, AHL) are hiring a Communications Manager. Sign me up for that! I WILL be applying for that job.

Still no word from Albany. Grr.

interesting

They are bringing an AHL team to Austin, called the Texas Stars, to begin play in the 09-10 season. That will be interesting. There are more professional hockey teams in Texas than any other state. Who knew? (well, I did but that's not the point.)

As a result, the Dallas Stars (who are overseeing the team as an affiliate) are hiring a boatload of people to run this new arena and team. They are planning well in advance here. Too bad none of it work I want/am qualified for.

Speaking of work I am qualified for and DO want, I applied for a job with the Albany River Rats and got a call last Monday that was very much like an interview. I'm hoping they actually call me for an interview because that would be grand. They are kinda leaving me hanging but I hope they are just slow. It's frustrating to wait. GRR.

Not much Sabre-news to report. I didn't watch the awards show but I heard it was pretty predictable. Woohoo for Marty winning the Vezina again. He only needs 14 wins to beat Patrick Wah for the most career wins. YAHOOO!

I already have a hockey SAB ready for next wednesday and it's very amusing. I can't wait to share it with my faithful readers. ;)

a day late and a dollar short

Okay I didn't get it out yesterday, I'm slow. But I am stressed because I may have a job interview if these people would ever call me back and my car is broken. So cut me some slack. Anyway, here it is:



Pittsburgh's Maxime Talbot

AND


Carl Racki (real name George Finn)from the movie Youngblood

It's mostly the beard, but seriously, Separated at Birth? You be the judge.

Sooo cheezy but cute- Osgood and Lidstrom on Leno. They're bringing Stanley Back! ;)

That's all for now folks.. I'll have a Hockey SAB later today. If I can think of one..

Cyclones

I haven't posted in a while, there has not been a lot of hockey news lately.

The Cincinnati Cyclones won the ECHL's Kelly Cup last thursday in front of nearly 13,000 fans. That is an amazing attendance number for a game in the E, especially on a weekday. I'm so proud of the 'nati! And I actually know 2 guys from their team, and the coach. I wish I had made it to the game. I thought about going down, but my fam was all here so it didn't feel right to abandon them for hockey. ;)

so that's the news of the moment. This thursday is the NHL awards show, that is always a good time. (AKA Nice nice men in nice nice suits LOL) I will probably watch it and post something.

Until then..

the winner is...

THE DETROIT RED WINGS ARE YOUR 2008 STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!!!!

How sweet it is. :) And good job to the big Z for hookin it up with the Conn Smythe. :)

I just wish they would have done a little more post-game. That was kinda brief. But YAY RED WINGS!

hockey hockey hockey hockey hockey

Watching the game with my sisters and bro- this is great! GO WINGS!

This week's SAB is:



Kris Draper of the Red Wings....AND



Actor Kiefer Sutherland.

Separated at Birth? You be the judge.

Oh, I heard that they are refusing to sell octopi in Pittsburgh to anyone who doesn't have a PA drivers license. That is HILARIOUS.A friend of my sister's has a sign from a flea market there. Awesome. ;)

Back to the game.. GO RED WINGS!!!

Oh and WOW I have 14 visits on searches for Travis Rycroft. WOW.

Now for what really happened...

So I didn't do a running commentary last night, too bad. That would have been an interesting one. Oh well, I really want to sum it up with this picture of Mike Millbury:



BLAH BLAH BLAH
Tell me that pic isn't hilarious! We paused the tv, and it just happned to be at that flattering moment for Mike. I LOL'ed for about 10 minutes after seeing that. So I had to take a pic and share the hilarity.

Definetly the worst part about triple OT was having to listen to the morons in the studio for that many more times. Yeesh. I miss the good ole days of Barry Melrose. He was a windbag, but at least he was entertaining. Milbury and that other guy are just lame. and don't get me going on Pierre MacGuire... he drives me craZy.
I don't want to talk about the goalie interference bullshit calls last night. That was so unreal. I'm just glad the Wings were able to contain the power play. But seriously, those were some of the worst calls (especially for overtime in the FINALS!) I have ever seen and I've been watching hockey for 14 years. And no, I'm not whining about the high sticking call, that one was legit. Unfortunate for the Wings (though good for those of us who had to get some sleep LOL) but a good call.

Tomorrow should be fun. We're going to Columbus to watch with my sis Brett and whoever she invites over. It will involve Donatos pizza- OMGYUM and beer and yay hockey! And it will hopefully involve some bustin celebration time! :)

until then..

yeah right

that game was WILD! GOod thing I didn't do a liveblog, it wouldn't have fit on my page!

It was a great game. I'm glad Pittsburgh won, so there will be a game 6 and I can watch it with my sisters!!!! :)

Both teams really played well- Fleury was insane with those stops! Fun times. And LOL @Sykora calling his shot! awesome

Now I really need to sleep because I'm driving to Ohio tomorrow and I still have to pack! ;)
