I Was Gonna [Watch Hockey], Until I Got High

*Apologies for the previous post. I needed to stop the madness.*

 

Pittsburgh & Philadelphia: 4-2 Flyers:

Flyers: Lupul (2), Briere, Carter. Danielle Briere projected an effort. Alert the media. I believe he was quoted as saying “suck it.” I find it funny that people call DB, “Danielle” to slam him, and that’s really what his name is. That’s also my name (if you haven’t noticed). Obviously, I know it’s nothing personal towards me, but I always double take when I see it. Kind of like, hey… that’s… me. I’ve mentioned my thought process is moronic, right?

Marty Biron came out with thirty six saves and you best believe Chris Simpson was there to interview him. Why not? It’s Marty! The bias Marty fan in me says, “If you don’t think Marty Biron is fun, you need to get your head checked.” No leather for Chris today, but that jacket is still gross. Sean Aves would not approve.

Pens: Staal=Manbeast Part Three (2). It must be the passing of relatives [insert condolences] that give players that emotional boost in their game. Think back to Miller’s shut out. I know Staal’s good, but it’s just an observation. Marc-Andre Fleury’s cartwheel save was pretty much the most amazing thing in the entire game for the Pens. Maybe that whole Staal scoring two goals thing was alright. And maybe the fighting was fun with Scottie Upshall, Ryan Malone and clearly Mike Richards isn’t as into Sid’s stache and Chops as we are here. Punch him in the face Sid. Oh, wait, he did. 

Ending Thoughts: Good effort put up by Flyers to avoid a sweep. Keep it interesting for your fans, right? I’M. SO. BORED. 

_______________________________________

I had a locker room clean out day this past weekend (see: no hockey posts). I washed my walls and floors down. Who knew your walls get so dirty? If you’ve ever cleaned, you know it’s a pain in the butt and breathing ammonia makes you high. Not that high, I’m officially certified (D.A.R.E.) in avoiding the evils of harmful substances (Parsons)…

I was a scosh upset because I had to ditch some of my Sabre posters (yeah, Sabre posters are the sh!t, every college student has them). 

Aftermath:

  • Peters, Pominville, Mair (someone has to protect the little guy)
  • Vanek, Max, Goose (after extensive plastic surgery, Max survived)
  • Tallinder was on his own line because he’s just that good (another shoot out, perhaps?). 

STOP JUDGING MY LINES! They roll mad deep. I found a picture of Paul Gaustad from the Winter Classic and he’s checking a Penguin. On reverse side, Crosby’s celebrating the GWG. Don’t get me wrong, I like Crosby, but that kind of killed the moment Goose and I shared. I tried to save their teammates but had to trash them because they got ripped in the process. And by ripped, I don’t mean pumping iron at the Gym. 

There’s an area of a mirror I post assorted news clippings and pictures I find entertaining or meaningful. Whenever I put up Sabres on the mirror, they either leave or get traded: Janik, Dumont, McKee, Biron, Briere, Miller Campbell, Drury, Connolly, and Afinogenov. I realized a pattern. I removed them. Don’t fret, Millsie, Max, and Timmy are safe [?]. 

The mens were in Boston (not baseball…), so naturally, shopping was involved. Sales. Can’t stay away. I’m almost positive I saw Timmy Connolly. I don’t know, though. He must be recuperating from surgery though, right? I’m not up on the healing timeline of bone spurs. He very well could’ve just looked a lot like him. He was wearing a pinkish-red hat, such as the one TC wears in interviews. I only caught a glimpse and then “Timmy” left. Maybe I’m just going through Timmy withdrawals. This is your brain… this is your brain on Sabres…. Forget autographs, I would’ve helped him pick out shirts! “I don’t know you, but I know you’re give or take 6′1, 190lbs, and turned 27 on May 7th.” GO SABRE STATS! 

Jerseys are another thing. I need to work on a Sabres jersey. I noticed Kaleta [!], Bernier, Ryan, Gaustad, and Sabretooth’s jerseys were out in one store. My problem is, I like them as a team. I do have my [more] favorites, but which one do I really want time and money invested in? It’s a big deal, buying jerseys. Trades happen, free agents. Look at people’s attitudes towards Drury and the like. I personally don’t have a problem with wearing jerseys post-leave. I suppose old timers are always safe. They put in the needed effort on ice and have built strong followings. Although, I would never pass on Kaleta or Vanek either. Hrm. I hope Sabretooth won’t be traded anytime soon!

*Fun Bonus Recap:

  • I saw someone wearing an old Joe Thornton jersey.
  • A little girl waved to me and then acquainted herself with a [Jack's] mannequin.
  • At Tops, I got whistled at. Thanks, random guy, that’s a nice ego confidence booster.
  • Spotted: Good people I went to High School with. Holla.
  • Mighty Taco. Holla more. Très important, I know.
Yes. I wrote a chapter book.

  • Your always safe with Teppos jersey although I feel he’s not your type so I’d say, go with Vanek. He and you are a good match. I’d go with Teppo or Kotalik and if the younger one didn’t have Max, I’d be tempted with that.
    Timaaaaaaay hangin at the Boulavard! Well, there goes channel 7 AGAIN!

  • clearly Mike Richards isn’t as into Sid’s stache and Chops as we are here.

    During the game, I was yelling “Protect the Chops!!” at the TV during that little scrum, which my dad found hilarious!

    As for the jersey, I feel your pain…It took me almost a year to buy my Goose jersey. Vanek seems like a good fit for you, and at least you know he’s here for a while.

  • Shari, Teppo is your type. I know. My advisor said she thinks of me whenever she hears Vanek. Ha. She’s my favorite.

    Katie, Vanek was my first choice, after Marty B. left. Or Goose. Never doubt the Goose. And I love that you shouted “protect the chops!” That’s a seriously beautiful rally chant.

  • “Protect the chops”….Excellent!
