Oh, right....some Flyers updates

1. Praise Jebus, Nitty gets the start tonight. And wait, now he is our starter? Fine by me.

2. The return of Gator!!! Well, not really news for anyone but me and Slightly Saucy, but something to look forward to during warmups.

3. The return of Richie and "on the go" Upshall. Nice.

4. My ulcer is starting to percolate with the impending return of my arch-nemesis. Only 2 more weeks until Broduer returns. Just in time for a matchup with the Flyers. Anyone wanna buy my Devils tickets?

See ya at the game!

Maybe this picture of a puppy will cheer you up?

Dear Habs,

I kinda don't even really know what to say any more. My hopes were high with Jaro in net, and jeez he made a lot of great stops, but with 41 shots on goal, you can't really blame him for the loss.

Y'all seem to have some issues going on right now, among them that once you fall behind you can't get anything going and then you sorta give up. I hear ya. I had a crap day at work today too and just kinda skated around waiting for it all to be over.

I hope things get better for you soon, because slogging around like that for the next two months is gonna suck...

Love, Kristin

Dear Habs,

Great! Now you go and embarrass me in front of my friends. I was enjoying a lovely day at IPB Manor, filled with cheese and presecco and cats and hockey, and you had to go and ruin it! This is the last time I take you anywhere!

Love, Kristin

Dear Habs,

You make it so hard for me to love you. You tease me with a win, then push me away with a loss. You show me some love with a strong first period, then go all limp in the third. If I wanted to be treated this way by a hockey team, I would still be with the Flyers. Get it together boys!

Love, Kristin

I got nothing

You can't see it here, but he has a Chris Pronger card in his pocket...

I started to write a post yesterday before the Flyers/Bruins game. But really, what was there to say? It was my first game in person since the Pens game on January 13th, and frankly, I had enjoyed my time away from the Wachovia Center. Three blissful weeks of not having to drive an hour in traffic and not having to pay 12 dollars for parking. Sounds like a freaking vacation to me!

I quite enjoyed the first period last night. Tim Thomas made some unbelievable saves early on, and showed the Flyers it was going to be tough to get one past him. Rod found the first period boring, but I guess that's how it goes when nobody scores any goals. I was just happy to get out of the period tied at zero!

I was confused by the choice of putting Metro with Knuble and Gagne. I mean sure, Richie was out with the flu, but how about putting Giroux up there instead? But what do I know...

You know things are bad when Kukkonen is playing forward.

The highlight of the game was meeting up with Soph and Jess, who came bearing gifts for me. Sadly for the Flyers, one of those gifts was a Chris Pronger card. The Flyers record when a Chris Pronger card is at the game is 0-3 now. We got Prongered!!!!!

Next up for the Flyers, the Broons at home. I'm sure that will be an easy one...

Next up for me, the Habs at Buffalo. Crap, I gotta find the link for streaming it online....

Uh oh, a Flyers game tonight!

Gosh, the Flyers have been out of town for what seems like ages. The last time they played at home was January 21st, and I skipped the game due to work. That means the last game I attended was the loss against Pittsburgh on the 13th. Good times.

Up next, the Broons, in the first game of a home and home.

God, why on earth am I up at 7 in the morning? It's my first day off in 6 days and I'm up at the crack of dawn? I need to get back to bed...

Okay, back now. I don't really know what to expect tonight. The Flyers have been a touch inconsistent lately.

Dear Habs,

Please stop sucking. I want to see a game that doesn't make me cringe.

Also, if you could please stop getting injured that would be great too.

Love, Kristin
