Feeling Blue(s)

Losing to St. Louis in the shoutouts has left a bad after-taste in my mouth.

I would have been content with the 1 point, but I was especially rooting for the win since, well, you know, Halak was in net. He made a nice save in the shoutouts to keep the team in, yet Kovie failed to score right after. Hense the loss.

The Blues' 2nd goal was...eessh. My dad shouted "SIEVE" as a joke just to pee me off and I gave him a "oh-hell-no-you-didn't" glare. Poor Jaro. Shit happens... gotta give the shooter credit though. It was a hell of a shot.

Man. I can't deny it... St. Louis played well. Especially Legace near the end. He was so-lid.
They're lucky I don't mind the team. Any other time I woulda been bitching way out.

Sigh.
I hate losing.
I'm a sore loser that way.

At least we got a point...hmmm...at least.

I still <3 Halak :) It's awesome to watch him play with MTL again.

Now you see what I see

Et voila!

Halak's shiny shutout was well deserved indeed, thanks to his hard work and patience. He's such a trooper... playing hard every game, never complaining..etc. I could go on and on!
Is it any wonder he's been my favorite player for nearly a year now? <3
Keep making me proud, Jaro!

Obviously I'm not the only one impressed by Halak's work. Carbs trusted him to start tomorrow against St. Louis. Go Carbs! I'm proud of you, too!

I still can't get over the Habs this year...it's just...wow. I won't say to much 'cause I'm sure I'll jynx it, but...wow.


London Knights are starting their playoff run on the 21st of march. They're playing the Guelph Storm. Ouuhh~ Should be good. I'm hoping I can catch a game or two. Really, it would be a huge frakin bummer if I'd miss out on the 1st series.
I'm still saving for a S. Kostitsyn Knights jersey, peeps. When the A&W opens in town, Van and I are gonna get a job there. That way, I'll make some mad-cash an I'll be able to buy myself some nice jerseys and and WOOO. JERSEYS BEWARE, THE GREAT-FAN COMETH.


Our very own Kap Flyers are starting their tryouts as early as April this year. Seriously, rad. Since the whole team and personel is getting an extreme-makeover, this season should be...interesting. The team will prolly train, like, all summer. Which is totally boss and seems so much more hard-core than the usual "august-tryouts-not-even-2-months-to-practice-together-regime".
I like it.
And I'm looking forward to seeing all the out-of-towners!

paradise island

About last night...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmyeah. Not in the mood to go back to that sad time, but... I must be strong.
Being shutout by the sens is about as painful as watching Toronto sweep a back-to-back series against Philly. Maybe even more painful, actually. Over the past year, I've grown to become very bitchy toward Ottawa. The stress and competition between the two clubs lately might have to do with it...and to think I used to adore the Sens. Hmmph. They think they're so great... with they're little Spezza/Heatly/Alfredsson line. Psh. Whatever! They're just wannabes off..like..the... KOVIE/PLEKS/AK46 LINE.
Yeah they wish they were that pro.
...
Sigh.
Yes.
I'm bitter.

Seriously, though. They completely shut down the blue, blanc, rouge. Practically in every facet of the game. Every time Kovie touched the puck, 3275 sens were on him. They blocked a bunch of shots, too. Aaaand their goals were...not Carey's fault? Sir Stoic had no chance on the deflection nor the weird nearly-over-the-crossbar one. To be honest, I don't even remember the 3rd goal.

For the first time in a long time, Montreal succeeded in out-shooting their opponent. Kudos to them for that!

As long as the Habs make it to the playoffs, I'm happy. That's all that matters. Seriously, NOBODY expected Montreal to come out this strong this season. Effing Hockey News rated them a D+ and didn't place them in the post-season.
It's a delightful surprise.
IN YOUR FACE, NON-BELIEVERS.


Yessir!
Halak is starting tomorrow vs NYI. It feels like forever since I've watched him play (a week).
....
.......
Yeah yeah. I know. But a week..'tis too long in my books! But then again...I am a huge *coughcrazycough* fan of his. Of course I want to see him play more often!
I'm just glad he's back in Montreal (he is too and it's cute how he constantly says how happy he is in interviews).
Make me proud, Halàk! (randomly decided to put the accent in his name for the first time..ever?)

How about no

Mock draft or not, if Nikita Filatov was to be drafted by the Maple Leafs, I'd literally slip into some sort of chronic depression. Honest to blog. The Laffs do not deserve such a jem :O
Sure, Niki in Canada would be great, really, but 'cmon. Not the Leafs.

I still am looking forward to seeing who drafts him though :D LETS ALL HOPE THE LEAFS MAKE SOME SORT OF BURST TO GET HIGHER IN THE STANDINGS. To get a crappier pick? ;)
Anyway. Whichever team (excluding Toronto, Carolina, Anaheim -- who won't get him anyway -- Pitsburgh...) drafts him will have my love. I can't waiiiiiiiit to see him in the NHL, no matter how long it may take for him to play his 1st game.
