SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT.
Well, after all the
months of drama with my laptop it turns out it wasn't fixable afterall, so I had to buy a new one earlier this week. . . and finally, I officially have a computer again.
Anyway, so, where do I start? I guess I'll go with last night and work my way backwards. . .
Looking at the positives about the Penguins winning the cup last night .... I am very amused by the predicament that Hossa is in right now. I love it alot.
Also, I think this could be good for the Flyers next season. Not only are the Pens a Conference/Division rival, but it's the effin
Pens. I hope it's something that just really kicks them in the butt next year, and drives them to stay consistant and kick some asses.
This years playoffs were so weird for me. I really didn't care who took home the cup last night. I haven't watched a full game since the 2nd round. Once the Bruins and Canucks were out I didn't care anymore, no one that I wanted to win was remaining, so this year was just very blah for me.
I thought I would get emotional last night. Teary eyed at the very least.
Last year when Detroit won, I cried when they cried, smiled when they smiled, etc. ya know? I put more of myself into watching the playoffs last year. It was so much more different this year not having a team to follow almost to the very end. Having the Flyers out in the first round was just weird to me.
It is weird to me to not care who wins the Stanley Cup. To find the finals boring.
HOW CAN I FIND THE FINALS BORING? It's the finals.
But it was very 'who cares?' for me.
I am happy for the Penguins though. I mean, I don't HATE them. Some of their players, yes. But them, no.
LOL. Possibly that changed after meeting a couple of them back in Feb, I dunno.
But anyway, point is, I'm happy for them. They deserved to win that game last night. I was super impressed with the maturity they had after unexpectedly losing Crosby in the 2nd, Staal played amazing. And I am super happy/excited for Talbot he had an excellent playoff run, and he was just as fab yesterday. Plus, he is awesome. Heh.
Anyway. What am I saying? This is all coming out of my ass, cause I seriously don't give a crap.
Sooooooo, being without internet for awhile I was on youtube the other day looking at dumb stuff and I found the following:
Carter is a hot ass. And the chick taping is making me laugh so much "yes you are". ROFL hahaha.
Okay so a few things worth mentioning:
* There are rumours the Rags might be after Knuble. No thank you.
* Heatley asking for a trade. I don't really know what to think about that. Rumour has it he wants to go out West.
Blah. I dunno. Did he not ask for the no-trade clause himself? So, like....yeah, I dunno what to think about this one.
* Hatcher has been hired by the Flyers as player development coach. That is awesome news. I am happy he will still be with the organization.
* Player-wise Leafs haven't done anything yet . . .but Burke has fired majority of office/support staff/marlies coaching . . . this is going to be an interesting summer in this city.
* Sigh. Emery. Another one I don't have feelings on just yet. If he has improved on-ice as everyone has been saying, than I say this is a good move. He got the Sens to the Finals 2 years ago, he is a capable goalie when he is focused and on his game. No, he's actually pretty amazing when he's on his game.
I just hope he doesn't bring along all the BS with him he had with the Sens last year. He says he's over it, but TSN stalkers caught him being an asswipe with a team staff member of his KHL team this season too. So yeah. I dunno.
I would think he would take this opportunity to be back with an NHL club to prove he deserves to be, and that he
is, an NHL goalie. I have hope. We'll see what happens.
The members of the team that they've interviewed about him (Carter, Knuble, Timonen, Asham, Briere) all seem to be hopeful about the season, and think he has changed and that this could be a good thing. . . . . . Now if it's true that Homer is looking into getting Esche again and we have an Emery/Esche tandem. . . that is something else completely and I have no faith that this team will get too far next season.
We shall see though.
I think that is all. I've been gone too long that I can't even remember what else I wanted to talk about.
Oh, one more thing:

How hot is Carter? (even though he dressed like a schlep to a press conference) lololol ;)
So I guess I won't be back here until next Thursday if anything good happens at the NHL Awards (unless of course there's a ruling in the Coyotes/Balsillie case before then), or unless the Flyers re-sign Knuble too. . . .lalala ;)
Kay, later.
