So. It can't be any worse than last year. I hope.

Since I last posted, work has eaten my face, proceeded to uneat my face, and I continue to fail at catching hockey games. Sigh.

What I do know is that Pazzy got his ninth shutout of the season against Montreal, and I couldn't be more proud of him. Much love to you, Pazzy.

And as I post this, I am dreading the coming of my second Trade Deadline Day of my hockey fan-ship, and frankly, I don't know if this year could possibly be worse than last year. The Jackets might be hell bound and determined to make it worse, however, if these rumours of Brule, Fritsche, and Tollefsen being traded to Tampa have any merit. If this happens, the Jackets and I will not be on speaking terms for a little while. And I'll have to have a vague liking for Tampa.

Although, it is a nice change to have a secure feeling in that Nikolai Zherdev is staying with the team, whereas last season, I was panicking come TDD. Now I'm panicking over Sergei, Vybes, and the babies. I'm not sure this is a great trade off, actually. No pun intended.

Why do I have to work on TDD? Ugh.

Here's to hoping I don't get a text at work that will make me sob.
