Also, I forgot about this...

This picture doesn't really do the card justice. A magnificent specimen. One of my Christmas presents.....

"That's not good enough"

Even though I was hypnotized by The Pronger's arm throughout this interview, I heard his message loud and clear. Let's hope others heard it too.

Home Opener Eve

This blog is not funny. Pick a team.

I don't know if I'm going to be able to sleep tonight! I took the day off of work because lord knows I wouldn't be able to concentrate. (That, and going to a game straight after work smelling like cheese really stinks...)

Tomorrow, I will be in the second row of section 106 to watch the Flyers take on Ovechkin. My plan originally was to shoot warmups from my sweet seats in 106, but after all those Pronger teasers on Versus tonight, I think I'm in the mood for some swooning. I'm thinking I'll try for my old seats over in 119 so I can get a swoonful look at The Pronger. And what was up with The Pronger's ensemble? Striped suit, plaid-ish shirt, paisley tie? Yes please.

See you back here tomorrow after the game.

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.

The Pronger is sensitive!

Thanks, Jess, for fueling my Pronger addiction! Click on it for the full effect. It's worth it, trust me!

Wait, The Pronger has his own website?!?

Oh Boy. I'm sure you've seen this before, but it's worth another look. Especially since it shows Pronger splayed across his bed typing into his computer like a teenage girl. What? Just fast forward to the :43 mark. But I think you'll also like the computer generated voice at the :02 mark that says "CHRISPRONGER" like a robot!

pronger whoa.

Thanks to Jess for the crazy picture!

The Pronger madness!

Dude, The Pronger is everywhere this week! He's hanging with kids from the Ed Snider Youth Hockey Foundation, he's signing big money multi-year contracts, he's all up in your face in his gay orange Flyers jersey. Wait, what?

Yesterday, Rod sent me a link to the NHL shop for the Pronger t-shirt. It was available in all sizes. Today, all the L and XL are sold out. What does that tell us? It tells us that all the babies that are whining about how much we gave up by losing Lupul and a coupla draft picks love The Pronger anyhow. Either that, or there was a mis-print on the NHL shop site.

My biggest fear of The Pronger signing? That I will grow to hate him. It's much easier to love a player when he's on the west coast, and you catch a few games a year. But when he's on my tv, accidentally putting the puck behind Emery, I'm gonna start to hate him.

A few years ago, when Briere played for Buffalo, I always secretly (okay, not so secretly) wanted him to be a Flyer. And then he was. But he was never as good as a Flyer as he was as a Sabre. As a Sabre, he was BRIERE. A superstar. One of those big players that played for other teams. Once he was ours, it was like meh. I really don't want that to happen with The Pronger. I've loved watching this guy play since my first playoff run back in 2006 when he was with Edmonton. I have an Edmonton conference championship hat, for crying out loud! Shutup, you know I've only been watching hockey for 3 years.

Please don't make me hate The Pronger.



By the way, I don't much mind The Pronger in his white tee. I honestly don't understand why the ladies don't swoon for him!

I love Kovalev, but even I don't think he is worth 5 million per year.

Is he?
At least he is still in the East, and I can get to see him a couple of times. Le sigh.

In other news, I could pretty much watch video of Pronger hits and goals all day long. I was watching Daily News Live today, and they were interviewing Pronger by phone. They just had a picture of him up on the screen, and I was able to listen to what he was saying. Then they started playing video of his hits and goals while he was talking, and I could no longer hear what he was saying. Watching Pronger in action makes my brain shut down. In order to hear what he was saying, I had to turn away from the TV so I could not see the video!

The Pronger makes me swoon.

Quit yer belly-achin!

Lupul = 50 points last season
Pronger = 48 points last season.

Pronger will take a bitch out. The only bitches Lupul took out were the easy ones in Old City.

Pronger to Kesler: "You're lucky it wasn't my elbow, bitch!"

And stop your whining!

The Pronger Effect: What happened to our offense?

In the nice little run we had before our current situation, 38 goals in 10 games with 5 or 6 goals being scored in 4 games. In the last 10 games, 22 goals and no more than 3 goals in any game.


What happened? Is it because I professed my love for Chris Pronger? It does seem like there is a direct correlation...3 goals or less in every game after that, and not a single win.

Look, I already changed my cellphone wallpaper back to Gator! What else can I do? I guess I'll have to take Pronger off my desktop too!

The Pronger love pays off!!!

Thank you Ducks! Come back to visit the Atlantic Division any time!!!

Devils lose. I win.

Stick, together we will crush Kristin's spirit!

Ha Ovechkin! Nice try! Sure, the Flyers lost, but so did the Devils. And honestly, a Devils loss makes me just about as happy as a Flyers win. (Okay, a Devils loss makes me happier. *sigh*)

It was Hextall Hall of Fame induction night, and it was great to see all the old footage of Hextall. Kinda makes me wish there was a goalie out there today with those kind of douche moves. Hextall gave a great speech, and even moved Holmgren to tears. I was impressed by that!!! (I didn't know Homer had tear glands!)

The game was made of suck, and honestly, next game I am bringing rotten eggs to throw at Vandermeer's car afterwards. From where I was sitting, the Caps seemed to have things going on defensively. It was hard to tell if the Flyers were fanning on shots, or if they were being blocked by the Caps. Either way, it was a very frustrating evening. To make things worse, the boys staged a comeback in the waning minutes of the third, but of course, it was too little too late.

Regarding the no goal: I knew there was no way in hell they were gonna call that a goal, which was a shame because it could have really been a turning point. Oh well. Toronto hates us.

Also, note to Gator. I did notice what a maniac you were this evening. Lots of stunning blocks and gorgeous hits. I know you are worried about this whole Pronger thing, but fear not, The Pronger is almost out of my system. Just keep up the good work with the blocking and the hitting, and you'll be number one again in no time. (Your picture in the Flyers Yearbook is certainly working wonders...)

I'm not gonna lie...

The Pronger makes me swoon!

Wow, two western conference games in one week! I got to see Kopitar on Tuesday, and I am pretty sure my crush on him is over. His raccoon eyes were just as bad in person as I was hoping they wouldn't be. Oh well.

I was excited to see the Ducks, because they are one of my other teams. I have always liked Pronger, since he is a bit of a douche and is 6 foot 6. You know how I can't resist tall assholes!

Well I had no idea of the bizarre hypnotic properties of The Pronger. I was unable to take pictures of any other player on the ice! (Were there other players on the ice?) Honestly, it was very weird. He is so tall. And he is all legs! And so slick with that hair! And that gap toothed mouth! By the end of warmups, I decided I was rooting for the Ducks! Really! It was weird. And when I got home, I couldn't even delete any of the crappy pictures of The Pronger! Even if they were out of focus and all you could see was the 25!

Lucky for me, The Pronger gets about 300 minutes of ice time per game, so I got to see a lot of him.

Oh yeah, wait, there was a game too! Oh, um, hmm, let's see...the Flyers won with a hat trick from Knuble and a shut out from Marty. Wooooooohooooo!

I have yet to watch the replay, so I can't tell you how well the boys actually played. In person, it seemed like the power play sucked (except for Knuble's third goal) and the boys still seemed to be shaking off some of the crappiness from Thursday's suckfest.

Oh, and Riley got his ass handed to him by Parros. Don't mess with the stache, Riley!
