Hockey Rants for May 31,2009

Night one of the Stanley Cup Finals has come and gone. Although it did not turn out to my liking I have to remember that the series is not over yet. Even though the Pens did not win, they played in a professional and gentlemanly manner against the trash talkin' GANG in Santa suits from Crime City.
By the way, I wonder who designed Detroit's home jerseys? They unbelievably surpass the Tennessee Titans' uniforms in the tackiness category. Of course, they fit Marianne Hoser and Cocky Osbad to a T.
Well, I"ll be watching the finals again today and cheering for the "Good Guys". Good luck Sid the Kid, Mighty Malkin, Gonchar, Fedotenko, Guerin, Fleur Power, and all of the GREAT PITTSBURGH team!

GO PENS!

Hockey Rants for May 28,2009

Well, I guess the fat lady really bellowed one out last night. At the beginning of the game I had hopes that the HAWKS might pull one out of the bag.No such luck. Now I'll have to see what the Kid and the Mighty Malkin can do. I know they have it in them and I'll certainly be betting on them.
Oh by the way, did anyone notice how the Hawks were looking at Osbad when he was shaking hands with them after the game.Maybe it was my imagination, but I thought they were looking like "outta my face Freak!" I know that is what I would have been thinking.
Also, I have to say that I'm not the only person who calls number 81 Marianne. Don't believe me? Listen to Keith Jones on Hockey Central on Versus. Maybe it is just the way Canadians pronounce Marian but he definitely calls him Marianne.
One last thing. This is for you, Trotsky. I noticed that both Babs and Joel Quenneville did some serious coaching during this series. Maybe if you would get into the same coaching mode as they were in, The Preds would have been there instead of one of them.
Well, got to grab my bag and get to Goodwill. It contains a red dress, a red T-shirt, and my cute little red tennies with the shiny things on them. I'm never wearing red again!

GO PENS! GO KID! GO MIGHTY ONE!







See you Saturday

Hockey rants for May 26,2009

This morning after a workout in my garden, I came inside to rest a bit in the old easy chair. The TV was on, as usual. And what a shock! Babs was on and was TRYING to dance with an attractive blonde and he had actually forgotten to apply his lipstick! I think he did remember his mascara, though. I asked Jas what on earth she was watching and she said it was last year's Stanley Cup party. I went to the kitchen to get a drink and when I returned what should appear on the TV but OSBAD! Oh! let me outta here! I can't take anymore of these Mo'Town Slumthings!Watching them win over the Hawks is enough. I'm beginning to lose faith. I wonder if the Canucks ccould have beaten them. Oh well, if they win over the Hawks they more than likely will have to face Sid the Kid and the Mighty Malkin! And as I said before, it isn't over till the fat lady sings!

GO HAWKS!

I agree, Jeremy! Way to go Jeremy!

GO HAWKS!

Hockey rantings for May 18,2009

Well, I guess I have to hand it to the Mo'town team. They certainly did outplay Chicago and deserved to win game one. They have a smart-ass cocky goalie who says he deserves to be there. However, some people think he only deserves a puck in the groin shot by Joe Thornton or Shea Weber! With a mouth like his no wonder his team is so "well loved" by a lot of people. I'll admit he is a good goalie most of the time but I've also seen him miss a lot of shots this season. I won't mention when or where. Gotta get ready to cheer for game #2. Come on Hawks! Get tough!Show us what you can do! Remember the series ain't over till the fat lady sings and she hasn't hit a note yet!

GO HAWKS!!!!

Hockey Rants for May 16,2009

All day, All night Marianne. Hopefully soon old 81 and the rest of the Mo'town team will be at the seashore sifting sand. Believe me, when those Hawks swoop down and attack they will need a little R and R at the beach.( As a birdwatcher myself, I know the damage those PREDATORS can do.)
They might consider a little vacation in San Jose or Anaheim or even at the Outer Banks. That is a really lovely place. And since all of us southleasterners are such a friendly bunch with loads of southern charm they would probably have a very enjoyable time.
Seriously, I can't wait for the Western Conference finals to begin. Of course, I'll be cheering for the Blackhawks. I'll have to admit I got more than a little frustrated at Dustin Byfuglien's behavior when they were competing against the Canucks, but all is forgiven now. I'll be in the old easy chair or on the edge of the old easy chair cheering Chicago on.

GO HAWKS!

Hockey Rantings For May 15th 2009

Well. another frustrating night in hockey, watching Babs and the Mo'town Slumthings win another. I never thought I would pull for the Ducks. I guess that proves you should never say never. And something else that frustrates me are these fans who call themselves PREDWINGS. Don't you know how insulting that is? Not only to our great Predators team, but to Babs team as well! Make up your mind people. Are you for Music city or Mo'town? I guess I should not rant too much about Babs team when I am sooo happy that a Southleastern team, namely the Carolina Canes beat the Bean Boys. Way to go 'Canes! Also a million Music City USA hats to you Sid the Kid since you only got one for your hat trick in the Reds Arena. The sun is shining today for a change. Gotta get outside and hope it makes me feel a bit sunnier.

Later,
Dirtsister

PS Officials that was a very bad call you must have been sleepy.
