Hate to see my Bolts lose (Marty's face! It hurts my heart to see my favorite Eastern teeny winger unhappy!), but I can't be too sad about seeing Timmy Thomas hopping all over the ice with joy. That was pretty damn awesome. The whole game was pretty damn awesome, actually.

I don't often mention my real-life friends on this journal (with the prominent exception of S, who has given me permission to talk about her ( Read more... )

No really, it's just something in my eye. *sniffle*

Dwayne Roloson, you're a good egg.

Find peace, Derek Boogaard. You were never a nice player, but you seemed like a genuinely nice person. It always hurts to lose one of our own, and you were too young to go.

With depth and good play, this was a game that stamped 'here's why we deserve to be a playoff team' all over that franchise. Fantastic job, and it was a ton of fun ( Read more... )

I'm pretty sure I heard a snippet of Chelsea Dagger played during the Wings/Sharks game about a minute after the Sharks had scored... while the arena PA was announcing the goal scorer and assists. I don't know how I feel about that. I don't know how either the Wings or the Sharks should feel about that either ( Read more... )
