Happy Kovalev Day!!!

Fuck it. I was trying to be all neutral so the Flyers faithful wouldn't hate on me, but screw that. I've been looking forward to this game for two months now, and damn it, I'm gonna stop acting like I'm not excited.

Go Habs Go!

Habs start winning streak!!!

Well, not really, but in my mind they won that game. They appeared to play really well and hold their own against an outta control Ovechkin and the Caps.

Is it my imagination or were all three Montreal goals on the powerplay? Nice to see someone besides the oppotion score on the Habs powerplay.

Is it my imagination, or are the Caps really good? They seem so fast!

Is it my imagination, or is Ovechkin and the hype surrounding him getting to be a bit much? Was his goal last night really that fantastic? Wow, crashing the net and the puck went in...groundbreaking stuff really. Seems like a lot of hype for the goal, but that's all anyone's talking about today. Goal of the year? Really? *barf*

Is it my imagination, or are Caps bloggers saying Theodore played like crap and that is the only reason Montreal scored at all?

Is it my imagination, or does last night's 60 minute team effort signal the death knell for Kovalev in Montreal?

Is it my imagination, or am I in love with the Habs? I feel queasy and want to punch someone after reading all these Caps bloggers recaps. I think that more than anything is a sign of true love.

Is it my imagination, or am I totally ripping off Number31's rants? Yeah, I better stop now.

I will be at the Flyers game tonight rooting for the Flyers to beat Buffalo....but only so Buffalo stays below the Habs in the standings. I'm one messed up fan.

Oh, and here is my favorite Ovie clip. The one where he dives like he's been shot, draws the penalty, then comes out to play on the powerplay. Tool.

Okay, that picture makes me feel a little bad

Well that game provided its fair share of heart attacks! I didn't want to watch the third period, but I figured I owed it to the guys to hang in there. My only regret is that I didn't make the trek to Montreal. You know you have a hockey addiction when people at work assume you are making the trip to Montreal to see the game! Anyhow, here is the postgame rubdown:

1. Settle down, its just one game.

2. I really like the Habs and their fans. Our teams and fanbase are similar in many ways, and it's sad to see a worthy competitor eliminated.

3. I need the Pens/Rangers series to either end on Sunday or go a full 7 games. My work schedule is not very flexible this week, and there are some days that don't work for me at all. Cmon guys, help a sister out. Please?!?!

4. You have to check out this page at TSN. Scroll down to the picture of Briere they use...much bias against him? Nah. He just looks like a scared elf, that's all!

5. Blog pimping: The playoffs have been a great time to get to know some new blogs, so be sure to check out k-mart over at Stuart Scott's Eye. Also, CuseAdelphia posts occasionally on the Flyers, as does The 700 Level. And Flyers Fan Central has a great new look, with RSS feeds from most of the Flyers blogs. If I forgot anyone, let me know and I'll give a shout out. Oooh, also check out Will We Ever Win?

6. Please stop using the word schadenfreude.

Hating on Briere...special investigation

Now you all know I love le petit Briere (in a non-squee way). However, it is kinda fun to hate on him. When I saw this picture of him posted by Caps Chick, it made me laugh. A lot. And sparked much Briere hating with Jordi. But Jordi decided there was no way he would ever drive this car (even though it does match his outfit, which he is all about). So I decided to do some investigating, and I was able to find his real mode of transportation:


Hate away, haters!
