Just Some Videos And Things
September 6, 2009 at 11:37 am | In Alex Ovechkin, Contracts, David Steckel, Drew Stafford, Frostee Loves Way Too Many Guys, Get Yer Paws Off My Man, Happy!!, Jonathan Toews, Players, Randomness, Zach Bogosian | 2 CommentsWord on the street is that our own Drew Stafford has signed a contract extension, but since the Sabres haven’t confirmed it yet and I haven’t gotten a text yet, I’m not going to comment on it.
Other than that they better not be overpaying the inconsistent little jerk.
I’ve been back to school for two whole days…and I’ve already started my count down till next summer. Heh. The best part so far was in our Welcome Back assembly when they told us that the best way we can get involved is by dressing up for Halloween and Homecoming week. Wow, I never knew giving back to your school was so easy.
I was going to put up my Sabres preview this weekend, but I think I’ll wait and post it next weekend. Sorry to let you all down.
Alexander is returning to the US of A tomorrow, which is very exciting. Supposedly Lars is already back, which is also very exciting. On Wednesday, Alex will be in the Big Apple to promote his video game. He’ll be arriving by zamboni. Yes, I know, he can’t drive. It is for this reason that my mother suggested I blow off school and we drive on down, because apparently even she would drive seven hours and then turn right back around if it meant seeing Alex driving an ice-resurfacer down the streets of New York. Alas, I have two tests on Wednesday and I’m babysitting that night, so I shall be unable to go see him. Blast.
The hockey game I want to go to in DC is the Inaugural Club Scarlet Night. Methinks that would be an excellent game to be at.
I’m not liking the Sabres’ chances this year.
Zachity Zach!! Oh, how I have missed thee. And did you get a haircut? (As I was writing this post, I realized that I don’t have a Zach Bogosian tag. What the HELL is wrong with me??)
Okay, which part of this video is the best part? David showing how to play safely by showing up in flipflops? David discussing his career shootout stats against Slapshot? I can’t decide. But oh, how I love David. You’re going to be so badass this year.
Hands off, ladies. He’s spoken for. (It took me a really long time to get that link to work because the video was in Russian. Lots of guessing and random clicking involved.)
And finally, this one:
(This was the only video I could actually embed.)
Ha. Hahaha. Oh, Cabbie. You know how to make me LOL. You really do.
Ryan, thanks for being the first to just come out and admit that yes, you’ve done yoga. There’s no shame in it. Yoga is so great, and you feel so happy and peaceful after. Really. I thought I was going to skip yesterday when I finished.
Joe: ”I’ve gotta admit, I’ve gone once or twice.” Joe, just say that you go weekly and that you can’t imagine life without it. We see right through you trying to be all coy. It’s really cute, but we know the truth.
“Are your pores just leaking Grey Goose?” = Best line in the video.
(Author’s note: Trust me, you sweat it out in hot yoga. Like, it pours off you. But I haven’t gotten lightheaded yet.)
Don’t fight it, Joe. We know you were looking.
Jonny, you are SUCH a typical 21 year-old. ”I had to!”
Joe Thornton seriously cracks me up.
So that’s about it. I realize that this post had absolutely no pattern or reasoning behind it. But that’s okay.
My New Shirt
July 26, 2009 at 3:05 pm | In Happy!!, Jonathan Toews | Leave a CommentToday I got my new Toews t-shirt. The fabulous Clare purchased it for me when she was in Chicago for the Blackhawks Convention.
I’m not a huge ‘Hawks fan, but this shirt is awesome. I absolutely love it.
Super Saturday: The Morning After
October 26, 2008 at 9:55 am | In Alex Ovechkin, Brian Campbell, John-Michael Liles, Jonathan Toews, Losing Sucks, Other Teams' Back-up Goalies Kind of Suck, Patrick Kane, Ryan Miller, Sidney Crosby, Twins Named Lundqvist, What Is Up With All These Injuries?, Winning Is Totally Awesome | Leave a Comment(Just in case you were wondering, we did end up getting the Flyers/Devils game. It kicked on about thirty seconds before puck drop)
- I seriously have a hockey hangover. It might not be as bad as the one I had after the Great Playoff Binge of ‘08 (last spring, while my parents were at Shea’s seeing Jeff Dunham and my brother was spending the night at a friend’s, I literally watched hockey from seven at night till two in the morning. It was ridiculous), but it’s still there. Last night was intense.
- I have decided to file this post under every category I have that’s related to games, because I figured with all 30 teams playing last night, it would apply somewhere.
- Everybody keeps talking about how the Sabres lost 2-1 in the shootout last night, but I’m not sure where they’re getting that from. Uh, Fans of Buffalo? The Sabres won 1-0. Crunchy even got a shutout! (He was so obviously interfered with on that goal. Smyth lifted his stick right off the ground!)
- Um, who didn’t love that JM Liles interview? His smile is intense.
- Caps won! Woo!! Less than a week till I see Ovie!! But my parents decided to be totally mean and when they showed him sitting on the bench at the start of the game, and my dad announced that “He really is hideous.” But then he almost redeemed himself later, when after we learned that Ovie had fetched the puck for Fedorov after his goal, Dad decided that when he gave Sergei the puck he probably told him “Enjoy it, ’cause that puck is going to be mine pretty soon.”
- My mom thinks we are obnoxious when we watch hockey. She has no idea.
- Colorado must have a terrible penalty kill if they’re 39th in a league with 30 teams.
- Did anyone else catch when the announcers at the Detroit/Chicago game mentioned how great the tandem of KOEWS and TANE are? It was like earlier yesterday when I was talking about The Office and said something about “Pim and Jam.”
- When Brian Campbell did a spin-o-rama, I wanted to puke.
- We decided that we’re going to have to agree with the fans at the Rangers/Penguins game that Crosby does, in fact, suck. So do the Penguins.
- Henrik Lundqvist does not suck. Neither does Joel. *swoons*
- Philly fans are terrible. Would any other fans in the world throw a stink bomb/flare thing on the ice? I didn’t think so.
- Montreal lost in regulation. Ha!
- We actually did get Hockey Night in Canada at the Montreal feed, and were treated to Don Cherry. His blazer kind of gave me a headache.
- We have decided that Comcast is terrible at broadcasting sports. We kept trying to count the guys on the ice to see if anyone had a power play.
- I’m not a huge fan of the Winter Classic jerseys. But I love the looks on Koews and Tane Toews and Kane’s faces when they’re modeling them.
Jonathan Toews Is Trying To Steal My Man
September 19, 2008 at 5:22 pm | In Get Yer Paws Off My Man, Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, This Irks Me | 1 CommentFirst of all, I would just like to say that I LOVE Patrick Kane more than words could describe. Crunchy may be my reliable first love, and Ovie may be the one I have wildly inappropriate fantasies about, but at the end of the day (after the aforementioned fantasies), it’s actually Pkane I want to be able to sit down on the couch and watch the news with. I think it would definitely work out between us, because he appears to like to be in charge, and I like to be in charge too so we could challenge each other, we’re both from B-lo (okay, so techincally I’m from Orchard Park, but we’re both Western New Yorkers), he’s hilarious, so he could keep me laughing, and my grandmother loves him almost as much as I do (although his grandparents are quite possibly the only people in all of WNY that my grandma doesn’t know. She used to play bridge with the mayor’s mother, was BFFs with John Stevens’s [remember him? that was the only season of American Idol I ever watched] grandma, and is Ralph Wilson’s neighbor. But, of course, she doesn’t know Mr. and Mrs. Kane Sr.)
The only problem I see is Jonathan Toews. Now, I get that they’re teammates, and I can understand them being good friends. I’m fine with that! What I don’t like is Jonathan trying to get some off my man.
(Once again, NHL videos fuck up my post. How’s that for something new and different?)
Basically, Jonathan totally did that, “I’m going to pretend I’m stretching but actually I’m trying to put my arm around you” trick. And it was NOT appreciated, Jonathan. Stop going along with every single thing Pkane says, and stop trying to put your arm around him. That is MY spot, and I DO NOT appreciate you taking it!!!
That’s as much contact as you’ll get, Jonathan.
BTW, I am watching all these videos when I am supposed to be taking advantage of the empty house to work on my scrapbook. But seriously. Patrick Kane acting like an adorable five year-old, or scrapbook? Oh gee, that’s a toughie.
I think I am basically screwed on this project. Good thing I got a 97.5 on my Guns, Germs, and Steel test, and have an UNWEIGHTED 97 average!!! EEEEE!!!
