Tertiary Team

by Anne

Ok, I lied.

I watched the entire Kings/B'Hawks game last night. This is an addiction, people.

However, I was up in time for class and made it just on time. I wish Buff State was better about clearing sidewalks. I hate when people bitch too much about this kind of stuff but when students are literally slipping and sliding around because they can't properly step onto pavement, its a problem. I use a back entrance to the building that houses my 9:00 am class and the last stretch of sidewalk looked like it hadn't been shoveled in days, I had to walk in the street which I absolutely hate doing.

Also, my class was cancelled and we all sat there until like 9:15 wondering where the professor was until one girl busted out her phone and checked her email. Splendid. I could've watch the whole game without guilt.

The Kings won and currently sit only FOUR points out of a playoff spot. Ok, sooooo they're in 12th with 47 points but spots 7 - 11 all have 51, so a few wins for the Kings and losses for the Oilers, Stars, BJ's and Wild, and the Kings are in the thick of it.

Until the Canucks get their act together and stop fighting during practice, I'm going to be cheering for the Kings. Unfortunately, we all know that I won't be able to look away and will still follow my dear sweet Canucks through good and bad, but I can still take a peek at those upstart Kings, right?! It seems too easy to love the Blackhawks, so I'm leaving them out of this race for now.


Drew Doughty and Matt Greene are always together
They have been photographed together and several events
I loves me a good bromance
Learn from the master, Drew
And they have the mascot with the least crazy name ever.. Bailey.
This may be the only time in my life I wish I was sick and in LA


Also, no Canuck has ever answered my questions on his blog, right Tom Preissing?! I've said it before, definitely check out Tom Preissing's blog. He's really funny and writes really well. Its definitely my favorite hockey player's blog. Millsy's is good but he just doesn't update it that often. Darcy Hordichuk's is my second favorite but I'm mad at his team right now.

Also, I forgot how much I hate blogging on a PC. I haven't done it since I left my old job. This is so much easier on a Mac. Or, well, maybe its Internet Explorer that is lame.

Have a great weekend everyone! I'm sure I'll be back and rambling at some point this weekend.

Also, NHL.com chatted with the Sabres goaltending coach, Jim Corsi (among other goaltending coaches) about how the job of goaltending coach has expanded in the last 20+ years.
Woooo!

Why Must They All Be So Far Away?

by Anne

In this bleak time of Buffalo Sabres "hockey" I have been forced to seek new outlets for my HockeyLove. My WCB tracker has helped immensely, I must say.

Today I was perusing the LA Kings website (Why? I don't remember) When I discovered another edition of one of my favorite things of all time. Tom Preissing has a bi-weekly blog. I should've discovered this weeks ago but I must've perfectly timed it so that when I visited their site I just missed the window when his entries were on the rotating top 5 stories.

Anyway, Mr. Preissing writes an entertaining blog. Much more interesting and funny than Pommer's blog, Millsy's music blog and TV's diary on his site. Seriously, when will someone with a personality write a blog for the Sabres? Wow. That last sentence was uncalled for but they suck so SUCK IT, Sabres.

You might remember Tom Preissing from such touching moments as:



Anyway, TommyBoy has an entertaining reaction to Plaxico Burress shooting himself in the leg, his secret wish that his new baby is a boy (it is, don't worry), how much he hates jackhammers, how he feels about recently turning 30, how great the day after Thanksgiving is "Leftover Day", that the LA Kings training staff members smell nice and Jack Johnson enjoys homemade cards.

BUT. He weaves a darling tale that I must share with you all so hopefully you can feel a little bit of the love I have for one Mr. Matthew Greene:

"I hope I'm not blowing up his spot, but I have to say, far and away my vote for best costume was Greener [Matt Greene]. He was a bathroom attendant. He bought all the products: gel, mints, etc. had the tip jar out, turned the water on for you, and made sure your bathroom experience was a pleasant one. But the absolute best part was that he stayed in the bathroom (in character) for the entire night. Who even thinks like that (besides maybe Andy Kaufman)?"

Just amazing. He'll be here on December 19! Wooooooo!!!


2 weeks from today

Today Grandpa Sullivan turns 93. He's so old, when he enlisted for WWII, he was considered an "older" enlistee. Not exaggerating. Happy Birthday to him!
