WHY CANT YOU BOYS WIN FOR ME!?
You guys had no trouble beating us! Look what you guys just did! This is all wrong! Wrong wrong wrong!
Ahem, do you think this Ovechkin would fit in the mail to me? Didn't think so. But I know #8! I love #8! When I see a kid with the number 8 on his shirt I actually think of this guy! Wait I've already rambled about this guy so I'll just forget about it.
Just close your eyes and listen to this sound byte. I like how people go nuts over my chunky money's lack of accent. I know he needs to be more like a dirty Russian and speak in mono-syllabic responses of "Da. Nyet". You know what would be nice little Sammy? Grow your fucking beard back. Then you'll intimidate the hell out of everyone in that department. And maybe you and Bonk could have a contest like the Flames. And and and.
Tomorrow is Columbus versus Edmonton. Now I'd pass over this easily but remember THE Ty Conklin? If not then get the hell out of this blog! I would love Jussi to get the start. You know to have this totally hot faceoff of the duo formerly known as Conkannen. Now Chloe snorted over the concept of Rolkkanen or Jussoloson which I know is lame but hey, I'd love the idea of the Roli/Juice tandem. They'll get close and finally I'll be able to start writing smutty slash again. Er... scratch that bit. And yes I repeat Marc Andre Bergeron needs to jump up his own ass and die. Preferrably in the first period. I mean you guys will go "oh come on... He's not that bad." And then when I offer him to you guys, you suddenly go "Hell no! I wouldn't want that guy for all the money in the world!". Which is kind of a shame cause I'd probably do most and if not all the Oilers but Bergeron would have to keep a paper bag over his head.
Oh and the Oilers visited the hospital to help sick kids.
Um. I actually did a fucking squee at the sight of my favourite goalies. Cut out Thor & Shaggy and I'm all happy. I am happy. Someone. Kill me now. Oh Jussi! Visit my bedside! And you can read me stories, sign my chest and hop in to warm me up! And though a spongebath sounds totally icky and only for old men... Jussi and I can soap each other up! Okay my mind is exploding and this blog just shot up to R.
And um... the day after that Sid the Kid meets his dream team again.
Um, let's not have that happen. Hell Lemieux will not tolerate any hanky panky of that sorts!
I cry over our Rangers loss.
And an interesting fighting debate is being thrown back and forth over at the HLOG.
And would you like to learn of the best goalie in the league, empty net?
But that is not my thought of today. My thought of today is about the many chats I have with the other girls whether it's about actual games or "Dude - I'd hit it" (I'm no partner beater but I'm an aggressive woman sometimes).
When I got this cover (the flight before Vancouver), I really smiled. To me, it beat the whole "pose and smile" or "ACTION SCENEZ" quality most covers had. And you know what, I'm starting to think that Ovechkin is slowly becoming my poster boy, the one who I put on my wall so I could sleep with him looking back at me.
Sure he's got a bit of an ugly mug, and he makes camera love. But oh, I love him.
And I asked myself why? He's done perfectly nothing for my team, I should merely see him as a rival. Not to mention if I loved him for his pure skill in hockey (which I do, I swear, he's got a great drive that I'll never see consistently from my Chunky Monkey) why don't I love Crosby or the other goal scorers. (Funnily enough, I am starting to like Malkin which I then stopped and said "Not if Lemieux's inviting him to his house as well")
So why do I love Ovechkin more than the others? What is making me outrageously fawn over him?
Well the recent results of the All-Stars voting speaks volumes - people prefer Crosby. So it would mean that his gatorade commercials (where fluro sweat deliciously slides off his nose - um ew) or his RBK "I AM WHAT I AM LOL" deals are really working. Whether you voted for him because of patriotism or "hey - he's the real deal". As a female, if you like Crosby it could mean you love his looks - he's no slouch in the face department. But you could actually like him for his skills which are *grumble* well good.
But I am openly against this boy. As a hockey fan, I care little for a leading point scorer who isn't on my team. As a female, his looks do nothing for me. To me, he resembles the hazard of overexposure and a face that is just too perfect. If THN were a teen magazine, it would be saying "HOT SIDNEY CROSBY FOLDOUT POSTER!". To me, Crosby is that pinup boy. The funny thing was, I never really bought teen magazines and if I did - I gave away any foldout posters of generic pretty boys. I hated the pretty boys, they were just so boring (The only thing funny about Sid the Kid is all the homoerotic jokes they give him). Crosby is just that - he's pretty but I feel this guy is being forced down my throat. If he were just left there, I could appreciate him more. Maybe I could go, hey he's a sweet kid.
Now that I've justified why I don't like Crosby, I'll go on with why I endlessly adore Ovechkin. First off, he's funny. It's sometimes unintentional, and it does come from his charismatic presence. He's just so willing for anything - for the fans or for himself to understand. When you hear about his big heart or his funny stories, you can feel it's genuine. While Crosby was trained by the media and gave that smile every second, I could feel this lack of a real personality. Sure it could trickle through but by then you'd be snoring over his interview. Ovechkin on the other hand, tackles it with an unparalleled enthusiasm that makes anyone smile. He openly shows off his home - its empty glory and the sort of sad mattress in the corner. And he doesn't mind showing off his musical taste or horrendous choice of fashion.
And in a way his charm really wins me over. Whether it's his need for that bag of chips or his shirtless sex appeal. While Crosby is winning the deals, because he's the Canadian hero boy, Ovechkin would get you a better deal. He'd do backflips for you - because that's what he does.
Maybe I'm putting him on a pedestal too much. But what I do know is that if someone offered me a Crosby or an Ovechkin - I'd take the Alex anyday.
I've rethunk my votes, hurhurhur. And Here's my list. Many I have my reasons. And most of them are well thought out. I THOUGHT THEM OUT. And can anyone explain to me why Markkanen is not an option for All-Stars? I know he's only a backup and he didn't play many games but come on!
Gretzky has unveiled a bunch of er... dancers to help boost Coyotes popularity of sorts. Seriously, were the auditions held at a pub?
Kovalev has been trying out some golf tourny. And ended up coming dead last.
Ovechkin says "We buy house for party". Seriously that is a lovely place. It's slim in the furnishings but it's enough to make you overwhelmed. And he likes big gold belts. What is up with that? I know many will say he's trying to compensate for something. He has good fashion sense. I recently learnt how to say "do you speak russian?" in Russian. It goes with my "do you speak german?" in german line.
Sammy is definitely playing next to Kovalev. The teeny problem is whether he's on the first or second line. Apparently Kovalev & Sammy have fairly good chemistry and sound perfect on paper. I bet they do puck drills together!
I really really miss Harvey.
