Ok so the last few days have been a real taste of what this offseason is going to be like.
To be totally honest, I have absolutely nothing hockey or Sabres related to talk about.
The only thing that comes close is that I was in Barnes and Noble yesterday and found that book that woman wrote about Sid the Kid's first season "Now with highlights from his MVP Sophomore season!" Which is once again out of date. I opted not to buy it. Why? Because I watched both of those seasons, I've seen him interviewed a billion times. That book might make me love Sid, and I'm just not prepared to do that. I'm content with admiring him and holding him at arms length. It works for our tumultuous relationship. I mean, how can I really love someone who abandons me mid-season with a high ankle sprain and then has people wondering if the Pens are better without him? Of course, the conclusion was that, of course they're not better, he's Sidney Crosby. But that taunting mistress, his right ankle decided to test Pittsburgh, nay, all of hockey fandom with that taudry sprain. They were running amok in the Pittsburgh Penguins dressing room this season. Phooey I say, phooey.
Go Pens. Woo. Hoo.
Even Oscar is not amused by this lack of hockey:

He hasn't been able to do any of his celebratory dances. He has one for when the Sabres win and one for when Thomas "SabreBritney" Vanek scores, it is the kitty version of the dance I do. Like mother, like son. Seeing as Danny Pie-YAY is his favorite, next season we will develop a Danny Pie-YAY dance.
OH GOD WHY DID I WATCH THIS VIDEO. I WAS MIDPOST AND DECIDED TO FIND A PENGUINS VIDEO AND I FOUND THIS ONE. GAH!
JUST WATCH UNTIL HE ASKS HIM ABOUT THE PLAYOFFS.
IT WAS 2006 TOO! IT WASN'T EVEN LAST SEASON.
CURSES!!
HE WENT TO HIS PROM!
STOP SID! STOP!!! Don't do this to me!!!
This doesn't mean I love him, but it's closer.
Sigh.
Go Pens Go!
Give into the Sid-love, Anne...You know you want to ;)
ReplyDeleteThat video is too cute! I can't believe he said he was rooting for us - I knew he was smart! haha
And what lucky girl got to take him to prom?? I love that he said he was better with the ladies than Ovie - somehow I have trouble believing that one...
I think it's so cute that he babysits Mario's kids - I can totally picture him playing Candy Land and watching Dora the Explorer.
As much as I don't care for Sid physically, he was so cute in that interview. He looked so uncomfortable and nervous. He's trying really hard, but Malone is my Pens love affair. He has the greatest smile, always looks like he's trying to find a way to get in trouble.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Next Question segments! I like how Sid completely ignores and fake laughs at the stupid underage drinking part.
ReplyDeleteKatie's right... give in to the Chops.... do iiiitttt :P
Guys! I just can't love Sid! I mean, I DO love him, but I can't start swooning or anything like that. It's too obvious! He's too whiny. Ok, he's actually not really whiny anymore, but he was then! GAH! My emotions are all topsy turvy!
