Jakub Voracek...

Is ridiculous.

And I love him.

Also, there's a kid that got drafted by the Thrashers named Niklas Lucenius, and he looks like Valtteri Filppula, and that is enough for me to love him. >> ...That and he's Finnish. *snerk*

Right. I'm gonna be on a hiatus for a few days (this time completely voluntary), so I will see you all in a few days, hopefully! ♥

Oh. Right.

Awards. Since Versus was an ass last night, I didn't actually get to see it.

Anybody know if they actually ever showed them? Because I couldn't find them.

Anyways, here's the list of winners.

I'm gonna go back to poking at the Blue Jackets roster and being amused by "Bio" section that they now have.

New GM Time!

Let's hope this one is a SIGHT better than Maclean, shall we? Yeah, I thought so.

Blue Jackets Name Scott Howson General Manager

As for my thoughts, everything seems to be pointing in the right direction for my boys. ...Now, Nikky, darling, please quit being an emotastic little Ukrainian and listen to your coaches so that they don't trade you, yeah? Actually, my true thoughts would be: ANYONE is better than Doug Maclean at this point.

As for the Stanley Cup results...Let's just say, I spent the night sitting on the floor, sobbing as I watched Chris Pronger lift the Cup. The rest of the team deserved it.

And seeing my two little Jacket boys (Shush, they ARE STILL JACKETS dammit, I will not resign myself to associating them with that team.), Motzko and Hartigan, lift the Cup made me smile bigger than anything did that evening. And Teemu Selanne made me cry as well. What is it with me and my inherent love of all Finns? I seriously need to stop. It's going to get me in trouble one of these days.

So, I think I'm going to join the campaign that seems to be going around and just pretend that the '06-'07 playoffs never happened, and I didn't see Chris Pronger hoist the Cup. Sound good? Yeah, sounds good to me too.

Should I get the Kleenex ready for tonight?

I think I may need these tonight.

Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals tonight, and I am dreading it with every fibre of my being. If I have to see Chris Pronger hoist the Cup tonight, I think I will just sob.

At the same time, if the Ducks do clinch tonight, I don't have to worry about missing any hockey while I am in Jamaica this weekend (can we say Skye will be sunburnt to HELL? Yes? Thought so.). But I did NOT want that to be at the expense of having to see Chris Pronger hoist the Stanley Cup. It makes me want to cry just thinking about it.

Who knows, though? Maybe Ottawa will stop playing like ass like they did in Game 4, and take it to 7. And maybe have a better outcome than another Canadian team that introduced me to hockey one year ago. We can hope, yeah? *sigh*

Idaho Wins The Kelly Cup

So, I've honestly had more interest in the ECHL's Kelly Cup than I have had in the Stanley Cup. Is that sad, or what?

Idaho Captures 2007 Kelly Cup Championship

The ECHL's baby Jackets gave it their all, but they fell short to Idaho. They had a good run, and that's all you can ask for.

Good job, Bombers!

Also, words cannot express how loudly I squealed when they interviewed Ryan Smyth during Game 2 on Wednesday.
