3.7 seconds, Vinny, Footsberg and gratuitous Gator shot


So I'm just now recovered from Saturday's loss to the Panthers. I fully expected my arch nemesis Olli Jokinen to slay the boys, but Jay Bouwmeester, how could you? You're my favorite Panther! I'm gonna be seeing that goal in my nightmares for weeks to come!

Good news tonight though, as we get a win against the Sabres. Not just a win, but a shootout win and Briere with the game winner! Plus, we get Prospal!

I saw Vinny here last week, and watching him play, with that weird way he skates, I kinda sorta wished he was ours. This means of course, that I will have to drop him from my fantasy team. Anyone wanna trade me? He's been a pretty productive player for me this year, but I'm not allowed to have any Flyers on my fantasy team, what with me being a sports jinx and all!

In other news, Footsberg choo choo chooses the Avs. Jonesy made a good point, saying that Gagne being out for the season was probably a deciding factor there. Who knows. I really didn't think he would come back at all, and only time will tell if his foot/ankle/head is really "better".

Flyers Wives Carnival was yesterday. Check out some great pictures here and here. (Beware...lots of Gator shots and me commenting on Gator shots!!!) Neat said she met Mrs. Gator, but I still refuse to believe she exists. I picture Gator as a sad somber single dad, raising the kids and dog all by himself, but somehow able to muddle through!!! Is that too morbid? I might have to come back later and edit that!!!

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!

Best.News.Ever.


I can finally sleep at night! And dairy aisles in the Philly metro area are safe from running out of eggs! Jim Vandermeer heeded my advice and got himself traded!!! And he even did it in the time frame I requested!!!

I literally ran up the stairs to tell Rod the news! I was actually more excited about this news than I was sad about Gagne being out the rest of the season.

Maybe I should write some other letters and see what happens...

Day Four as a Devils fan: thank god it's over!

Well, I give up. Although liking the Devils seems like a good idea on paper, there is just something so wrong about it! I really felt dirty, and honestly the excessive showering to clean the ick off my hockey soul was just getting to be too much!

Also, I just couldn't bring myself to lay down cash for a Devils hat, even in the name of blogging! Imagine me posting pictures of myself in a Devils hat! What would the neighbors think?

*sigh*

I feel so relieved!

how many times to I have to tell you?

Don't use Briere in the fucking shootout!!!!

Day Three As A Devils Fan: Oops!
