FHL

I was looking up my local area on Wikipedia (what?) and I went to a close-by town's page. There I found my self looking at the small section for sports. AAHHHHHH! I found out about a new league opening in the Northeast. Great Oden's Raven that's amazing. I've wanted local pro hockey since the Utica Fags (Devils) and the Mohawk Valley Prowlers (really? thats the name you want out-of-towners to know about the area? our perv problem. I wasn't really aware of it.) shut down. Here's the link to the home page of the Federal Hockey League. I'm so damn excited. I'll be at some Rome Frenzy games signing autographs for my fans so don't be afraid to approach me. BTW, why "Frenzy"? Is this pro soccer? or maybe women's basketball?

Here It Goes Again

Not just a good song by OK Go (best videos ever), a true statement. Huge game tomorrow. My heart... I don't even know. This is what I've been waiting for for all these years. Double Post! I got my Upper Deck Series 1 boxes today, wait... hold on... KABOOM!!! I got the VAN RIEMSDYK ROOKIE CARD!!! That is the reason I got the boxes in the first place. brodeur's hockey heroes. It's not even about hockey heroes! It's all that devils fag. I finished the Flyers series 1 cards, no Richards (who the hell said "save Mike Richards for Series 2"), I mean really. Just 36 cards remaining in Series 1 (mostly out West). The O-Pee-Chee box is next. Can't Wait!

More Viruses

Shi*! The Flyers need to pick it up. They'll probably win tomorrow in Philly but in Chicago, come on guys. My Pronger shirt lost in the play-offs for the first time the year. Also, I recently purchased some 09-10 UD Series 1 and OPC cards so I'll break those when they come.

My Birthday, part 2

Here's the next 5 packs I opened.

Pack 1:
#51-Johnny Bower*
#76-Andy Bathgate*
#1-Lord Stanley*
#7-Patrick Roy
cool, a Roy (my favorite non-Flyer goalie of all-time). Bathgate looks like a creeper, just sayin'.

Pack 2:
#29-Georges Vezina
#16-Theoren Fleury****
#43-Clark Gilles*****
#81-Mario Lemieux**
already opened the Lemieux, and the Fleury card I was hoping for. I do really like the brown borders, I'd like to see a black border but nobody has pulled one and put it on the internet.

Pack 3:
#77-Craig MacTavish
#3-Lady Byng
#8-Ron Hextall**
#83-Phil Esposito**
I have some complaints about this set that I'll share after I finish bustin' these packs.

Pack 4:
#64-Rick MacLeish***
#86-Mario Lemieux*
#31-Tony Esposito**
#38-Wayne Gretzky*
Another MacLeish (that makes 3) along with the same amount of #38.

Pack 5:
#77-Craig MacTavish**
#3-Lady Byng**
#46-Bobby Hull*
#1-Lord Stanley***
So kind of a bust on the last pack, no new cards.

*-already had
**-already opened from this box
***-both * and **
****-brown border
*****-already have brown border

I still like the set no matter how many Gretzky and Lemieux cards there are (it does annoy me a little).

My Birthday

was yesterday and I decided to go shopping online for cards. On Dave and Adam's Card World I found a box of 20 packs of the 2008-09 Legends Masterpieces set for $25 and I just had to get it. I was gonna open them 5 packs-a-day, but not opening packs all at once is like eating just one Lay's potato chip. Here's my first pack break on the internet.

Pack 1:
#16-Theoren Fleury
#87-Mark Messier*
#25-Lanny McDonald
#49-Brian Leetch

a good pack, I was hoping to get the Fleury and McDonald, an okay pack.

Pack 2:

#70-Rogie Vachon*
#64-Rick MacLeish*
#9-Richard Brodeur
#31-Tony Esposito

MacLeish, awesome, and Brodeur (not the gay one, his dad) in the old Canucks V-sweater.

Pack 3:

#53-Guy Lafleur*
#44-Scotty Bowman*
#66-Marty McSorley*
#12-Mario Lemieux*

okay, all doubles, that's cool though.

Pack 4:

#68-Dale Hawerchuk*
#24-Pat LaFontaine*
#81-Mario Lemieux
#84-Mark Messier

another Lemieux and another Messier in this set.

Pack 5:

#22-Cam Neely
#45-Glenn Anderson
#5-Jari Kurri
#8-Ron Hextall
#83-Phil Esposito

All new cards to me, and a Hextall card.

I love this set so much. The painting idea by Upper Deck is so smart, and to print it on a canvas was genius. Still looking for a couple cards like the Parent and the Sutters.

East/West Predictions, Part 2

wow. Montreal. disappointment. I was in awe of how terrible Washington played. Anyway, on to the predictions.

EAST
#6-Boston vs. #7-Philadelphia
Obviously Philly is gonna win and advance to play the ...

#5-pittsburgh vs. #8-Montreal
Montreal (not just because I hate the other team), Halak is playing so fantastic, he alone beat the highest scoring team in the league.

WEST
#1-San Jose vs. #5-Detroit
Detroit is so experienced and San Jose isn't getting much from anyone but Pavelski.

#2-Chicago vs. #3-Vancouver
tough one. Chicago won last year because of a hall of shame choke by Roberto Luongo. But the Sedins have really stepped it up since. I pick Vancouver in 7

Another Win!

Brian Boucher. Claude Giroux. To most hockey fans these names mean nothing, but they along with the likes of Mike Richards and Chris Pronger defeat the devils in 5 games. Wow, what an awful game for the devils, they played like a steamy pile of doo. I can't wait to see who we play next, possibly Washington's monstrous offense, pittsburgh's gayness (crosby and gonchar are totally screwing), maybe even... no I think thats it.

Flyers Win!

The Flyers won again last night, we are now 8-2 in ten games against the gay devils this year. One more game and we will (presumably) face Mike Knuble and the Washington Capitals in the second round. Unless, unless of course Montreal pulls 3 games out of their asses, then we would go against the Sabres (assuming they beat the Bruins).

List of Hate

This is my list of people, things, teams that I hate so f*cking much.

Sidney Crosby
Connor Passalaqua (fag from my old high school)
Martin Broedeur
Mike "Doc" Emrick (the doc is because he is a proctologist)
also, the rest of the crew at MSG Plus, and MSG, and FSN Pittsburgh
Ruslan Fedotanko
Martin St. Louis
the new Facebook
the 2004 Tampa Bay Lightning
New Jersey Devils
Pittsburgh Penguins
Stan Fishler
Yankee fans who hate Red Sox Fans
Red Sox fans who hate Yankee fans
the Red Sox and Yankees
Kerry Fraser (gay ref who recently retired [YAY])
Zach Parise
Daniel Briere
Buffalo Sabres
any ref who has ever robbed the Flyers of a call (every ref ever)
Scott Stevens
the Islanders of the '80s
U2
Tyler Perry
Bruce Springsteen
Queensryche
Rod Stewart
and Hugh Jackman

to tell you the truth, I have no problem with Hugh Jackman, it's a Scrubs thing, I don't think I've ever even seen him in any movie. But I digress, that's my list of hate in no particular order.

Play-off Hockey

Play-off time is such an amazing time of year. It's so crazy how every series started out tied with a game-a-piece. You have to give credit where credit is due and I'm giving credit to Phoenix, Nashville, Montreal, and Ottawa. All teams were given no chance (except Ottawa, whom I predicted to win), yet each team has won a game. Phoenix gets extra credit for winning two against the most dangerous play-off team in the west.
