sob sob sob

You probably already know, as it was announced a while ago, but my dear ZigZaggy left. As in he went skipping off to Russia to play there instead of staying with the Sabres. I was obviously devestated. Being his number one fan, I thought we had something special. Apparently, not. Sob, sob. Cry, cry. I hope you like Russia, Zaggers. Live long and prosper (with total attitude).

p-kane

Okay, I know what you're thinking. It's been absolute ages since I've posted anything on this god forsaken blog and now I've got the nerve to write up something about a cocky, twenty-year-old Blackhawk? Well, uh, yeah. Though he's not exactly cocky. And I must remind you, he's a Buffalonian and therefore deserves our undying love (he's certainly got mine).

Anyways, I was just watching a few lovely P-Kane interviews/videos and I realized a few things. Let's list form this, yeah? Yeah.

1. Kaner's a total badass when he wants to be.
He totally flips off Sharpie or Burish or whoever it was he was flipping off. Either way, I appreciate his Buffalonian badassery.

2. He does the annoying "stick out the mouthguard" thing.
It bugs the hell out of me and makes me want to slap him, and yet it's endearing. Sort-of reminds me of a puppy. Hopefully, he learned his lesson about this bad habit when evil guy yanked out his mouthguard and threw it when they were "fighting" (I use the term fighting loosely as Kaner's not yet badass enough to actually fight). Chances are likely he hasn't learned his lesson.

3. P-Kane talks like a good 'ol Buffalo boy.
I suppose it shouldn't be surprising, but I was listening to him and positively giggling. He has the right almost-Canadian-but-not-quite thing going on. Plus he "uhs" and "ya knows" in all the right places. And he uses the word "buddies." I'm not sure that proves anything, but I'm sure he says things like "pop" and "sucker" too.

4. He's really cute.
Admit it, you think so too. I mean, look at his adorable golden curls and tell me he's not.

5. He can absolutely not sit still. At all.
Whether it's rubbing his nose, fidgetting, nodding, or anything else that involves motion, P-Kane will be doing it. Sitting still is something he needs work on.

6. Kaner's a damn good hockey player.
Obviously.

7. I'm convinced his favorite phrase is "that's just the way it is."
Very catchy.

Well, that's all for now.

music and you

So here's today's million dollar question; does the music you listen to effect your mood and in turn your life?

Personally, I think it does. For the past day I've listened non-stop to Marianas Trench's album, Fix Me. This particular album isn't light and poppy like McFly. They're not quirky and fun like Son of Dork. Marianas Trench's songs have a major influence from heroin addiction, self-harm, and bulimia- all of which the lead singer has (apparently) gone through. So naturally, the majority of songs are deep and a bit depressing. Oddly enough, I've been in a more depressed, upset mood than usual. Coincident? Maybe. But then you could also point of my "McFly days," where I listen non-stop to McFly songs. I'm certainly more cheerful and happy on those days. Now this is starting to be too much coincidence. But I still think there needs to be a greater study on this. Anyone wanna be a lab rab? I'll pay. Ha, not really.

in other news....

So, we have acquired a few new dudes, haven't we? I feel it is my duty to welcome them to the team. First up is....

Dominic Moore!
For some reason, the fact that you were an icky Leafer doesn't totally disgust me. Perhaps it's because your share the surname of Mandy Moore and I picture you singing cheesy little pop tunes in your spare time (with cheesy dancing to match). Or maybe it's because of your slightly-endearing open-mouth pictures. It could even be the fact that you can't practice with the team because you need to get your visa papers all done that makes me feel no amnosity towards you. Admit it, that is rather humorous. Well, we know it wasn't your inspirational speech. Really, praising the team doesn't do much for you but tells me you know what other people want to hear. So, Domino the Moor, play well. Or else.

Mikael Tellqvist!
Your name amuses me to no end. Mikael is a crazy spelling. I love it. I love you. If I could pronounce your last name, I'd marry you. Seriously, be the suckiest goalie in the world, dude. Your name is good enough for me. Not to mention, you take pride in being a back-up. Well, Mikael Tellqvist, I take pride in you being a back-up. I know it's hard. Just remember, you always have my support. And any time you need some German butter cookies, you know who to come two. Seriously, just ask Lydman for my address.

Oh yeah,
we signed the Walking Hazard to a two year extention. I like Timmy and all, but we should pay him by game or something. Really, he'll be injured 3/4 of the season and walk away with millions of dollars he didn't earn. Sigh.

AU REVOIR, KODA.

Goodbye, dear bear-like forward. We hardly knew ye. Have fun in Edmonton. Your amusing name and delightful accent will be missed.

words to the wise

1. The Persons family cannot, under any circumstances, successfully throw a surprise party.

2. Playing air hockey/ping pong/any game whatsoever with little kids can be very difficult.

3. Kids fight. Over nothing.

4. They're also very hypocritical.

5. Even sweet little boys can be tough and violent. Apparently it's in their genes.

6. Getting little kids dressed is not easy.

7. Balloons are magic until about third grade, according to Katie. I say seventh grade.

8. Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz is a name.

9. Catering services suck.

10. Though the adults can't find time to watch their kids, they can find the time to systematically go downstairs and steal all the plates with food. Um, hello; I wanted that delicious chocolate brownie.

11. Little kids don't understand that lit candles are dangerous.

12. Adults don't understand that you need to hold your kid so they don't try to stick their fingers in the cake while someone is lighting candles.

13. It's not really fun to be hit repetitively with a balloon. In the face. By a two-year-old.

14. Drinking coke when the only available drinks for cooler people (like me) are sprite, diet coke (disgusting), water, and alcohol isn't very nice.

15. In the Persons family, it's quite possible that you could get away with grabbing a beer while underage.

16. Kiwis are an interesting fruit.

17. I'm under the impression that all cousins younger than five don't know my name.

18. Don't drink the punch. Just don't.

19. Bananas can be in fruit salads. Just make sure you cut them up first.

20. It's perfectly okay to not recognize relatives. They don't recognize you either; they just pretend they do to make you feel good. (The proper thing to do is the pretend along as well.)

epiccccc.

The Pirates game was absolutely, completely, utterly fantastic. Might I share with you some of my night? Yes, I shall.

So, as soon as the game starts (after I sing along to both national anthems and explain multiple times how choosing number 1 seems arrogant) I say, "I hope there's a fight in the game!" So I wish it, so it shall be. Times ten. Seriously, it started out little. And then a good fight between two guys. And then as soon as the first period ended, a big brawl! It was amazing! Even my cousin that doesn't like hockey was squealing with joy.

Then we got ice cream. Cookie dough for me. x)

There was this kid with a bright blue furry hat with bright gold horns. And I wanted it soooo bad. I was going to trade him ice cream for it, but I ate it all. ):

So, I sat in a lame section. Basically, no one stood for goals. Except me. No one yelled/cheered/screamed except me. Well, not until the last goal. And no one but me and the adorable enthusiastic kid kept up the "Let's Go Pirates!" chants.

People who dress up as Pirates are amazing, by the way.

"Silly Peters, goals are for Pirates!"

Where's Conehead?; the new and improved Where's Waldo?

Frosty the goalieman is a very good goalie,
He stopped the shot,
And is really hot,
And that's all I have to sing.
THE END. (sung to Frosty the snowman, obvs.)

Nathan Gerbe is 5'6.
Marc-Andre Gragnani is 6'2 and from Quebec.

Tim Kennedy was the face of the game.

Salty the Pirate dude.

Sabretooth's stripes aren't his natural color! Scandal!
We plan on "Sabertooth-napping" him and dyeing him gold.

You can macarena to anything.

Pregnant women attend hockey games.

"They couldn't move the Bills to Toronto. I mean, what would they call them? The Toronto Bills is totally not alliteration! ....Hmm, there's the Toronto Torpedoes." -me
"The Toronto Tornadoes." -Megs
"The Toronto Trains!" -me
"Trains?!?!?" -Katie
"Well, would you want to get hit with a train?" -me

"We believe in you!" -Megs
"Yeah, we believeeee!" -me
-insert amazing 24 seconds left goal here-
"YESSSS!" -insert lots of cheering/clapping/yelling/etc. here-

wanna be my bestest friend?

Now, I don't ask for much do I? No, no I don't. So it's only fair that I can ask for something now, yes? Yes.
