The Pronger Effect (TM)

Okay, I really needed to bump that last post off the top, so here's a Pronger post to do just that. Some of you may be thinking, "Oy, Kristin was all about the Habs last year but all of a sudden she likes The Pronger! What's up with that?!?" Oh, but you're wrong people, oh so wrong.


Unfortunately, I liked The Pronger before I realized it was not cool to like The Pronger. I even named him as my dream linemate in this two year old meme! (And linemate is not a euphemism here...) Also, I have seen some use of The Pronger Effect out there. Great news! Just remember, you heard it here first, suckas. February 22, 2008 to be exact.

I guess I should have just said feminazi and been done with it.

I feel so much better after yesterday's little crazy words. I've been holding that in for a long time. I guess if you really want to set me off, all you need to do is call Wyshynski a chauvinist pig.

There are some great hockey blogs out there. We talked about that yesterday. Many have been linked here before, but you may have forgotten them. So here ya go:

The Notwithstanding Clause I'm sort of biased here, because she talks a lot about Kovalev and Kovalove, but a really great Habs blog.

Then there is Wrap Around Curl. What else do I need to say about her and her sometimes partner in crime Dave Schultz of I Mean, We Got Guys.

Female hockey bloggers suck.

After biting my tongue a recent twitter spat (which is roughly the equivalent of throwing spitballs during class), I've decided that I detest a lot of female hockey bloggers. There, I said it. It's not their blogs that I have a problem with, but their philosophies, personalities, and tendency to rant about stupid things (much like I am doing now, yes. I hate myself too).

Here are things that I no longer wish to hear out of the mouths/keyboards of female hockey bloggers:

1. A rant against pink jerseys. Honestly, we get it, we got it. Enough already. If I hear or read one more rant against pink jerseys I will punch you in the uterus or hack into your site and remove said post. Got it?

2. A rant against Ice Girls. Who gives a fuck? Holy jeez. Again, we get it. You think they are pointless and stupid and take away from the game. This too will result in said uterus punching/blog hacking.

3. Calling male bloggers chauvinist because they post pictures of half naked women on their blog. This tells me that you either don't read the blog or have no sense of humor. Or both, most likely. I think punishment for this one will be shunning. Or being publicly stoned. With stones.

There are female hockey bloggers who don't suck. Know why? Because they don't put the emphasis on hating men and worshipping at the altar of feminism. They don't take themselves too seriously, they enjoy admiring a sweet piece of hockey ass, and generally act like (and are treated like) one of the guys. In other words, they are hockey bloggers. Not hockey bloggers with some skewed view of the hockey blogsphere based on whether or not you have a dick. Sheesh.

Remember back when I got this?

Who? Houle?

Ah, I love this picture. This is actually a picture of a picture that hangs on the wall by my desk. This is the back of Martin Houle's mask. Who? Goalie for the Phantoms circa 2007 or so. How I loved that little Fred Flintsone in a Flyers jersey. Frustrating goalie, but a great mask.

Dear Penguins, I helped you win the Cup.

That's right. It's all thanks to me. Back in April, good old Wysh asked me if I wanted to write the eulogy for the Pens during their series with the Caps.

Summer fun. Or something.

I'm so bored that I am taking pictures of all the Flyers stuff around my house. This is the trash can in my office. Nice.

GSP!

Thank goodness there's UFC to get me through the summer!
