Gosh! I thought I was through ranting about hockey for at least four month.Then what happens? I find myself watching the awards program and who should "hog " the stage but Ovegetable! Jeese, what is it with you Guys? Do you think he is God? Quite frankly, I usually think of him as a real smart-ass with a bad haircut, a huge nose , a snaggle tooth grin and a real show-off on the ice. I'm sure he could not avoid losing the tooth but with his salary he surely can afford a dentist and a good hair stylist. You know the saying "what happens in Las Vegas, stays in Las Vegas. Maybe one of the casinos will offer him a job as a dealer or working a game table and he will decide to stay!
Another annoying thing about the show was Kevin Smith! He really needs to button his lip and sit down!
And then there there were the boys from Beantown. Do they ever know when to stop? Even their coach! They go on and on and on! No wonder they were not Stanley Cup recipients. They probably cannot stop talking long enough to concentrate on the game!
Of course, the highlight of the evening was our own, Steve Sullivan! He took the stage, made a great speech, thanked everyone and sat down. You are a real classy guy, Sully! Congratulations! You certainly deserved to win. We think you are one of the best and hope you never want to leave Nashville!
I guess that just about wraps up my hockey rants for now. Maybe I'll find another subject just as annoying as Marianne Hoser, Ovegetable and the rest of the gang. If not, I'll see you back here in the fall for '09-'10 hockey season .
Later,
Dirtsister
P.S.
My sincere congratulations to all of the award winners!

Hockey Rants for June 14, 2009
CONGRATULATION PENS! You have made me a very very happy person! Congratulations Geno! You deserved to win the Conn Smythe award! Congratulations to the entire Pens team and staff! Especially Max Talbot!I knew in my heart you could do it! I had a gut feeling everything would go well for you guys. I was thinking back to the Eastern finals in the Reds Arena and I knew you could win if you had the desire to do so , and I believed you wanted the Cup as badly as I wanted you to win it.
I though it would be so great so see the expression on Marian Hossa's face as he shook hands with his former teammates and realized too late he had chosen the wrong team! Well, actually I felt a little sorry for him. Although, he said he had no regrets, that is a little difficult to believe. Who is going to admit to a mistake involving the contract he turned down to try to win the Cup , only to possibly lose everthing in the end. Good luck to you, Marianne Hoser!
As for Chris Osgood, he is a cocky sort of guy who is easy to dislike. I 've seen comments made that he is washed up and needs to retire. Maybe that is true. He has had his ups and downs this season but he did help lead the Wings to the finals. He's also very sympathetic to losing goalies and is always complimentary to other teams and players. So good luck to you Osbad!
Mike Babcock is an extremely talented and successful coach and I'm sure his future in Detroit is very secure. Good luck to you anyway,Babs!
As for the Wings' fans I only appologize to a handful. Why!? There are only a handful of nice Wings' fans.Most are bad sports and crybabies. I am sure it was hard to lose the Cup but hey, the Pens deserved it. So why be so rude?I'm sure the Wings will bounce back just as strong for the new season.
Actually, I am very anxious to get back to watching our Predators again! I certainly hope everyone will return to the team! And- after wating NBC and Versus (especially NBC) I realize how very much I miss Pete and Terry!
GO PREDS!

Hockey rants for June 7,2009
Hey Geno, this blog is for you. I know you were frustrated with the way the game was going . I also, know that you were especially frustrated to be playing against a former teammate who has no sense of loyalty whatsoever. But- you can't win a game sitting in the penalty box!!! Forget about Marianne Hoser and concentrate on winning the game!! Believe me Babs knows exactly how to upset you guys and he will take every opportunity available to get to you. Marianne is not worth the frustration and he is exactly where he belongs- in Slum City with the UGLY people!When the camera pans the Pens bench, I see a group of handsome young men in handsome uniforms. When the camera pans the Wings I see the ugliest people on earth in Santa suits! I believe the WIngs organization must have searched the world over to find the ugliest hockey players and located them in the ugliest city in the U.S.! (Jas thinks Zetterberg is kinda cute. She has an opthomologist appointment in the A.M.) So, please Geno, stay on the ice and get the job done. When the series is over if you want to beat the crap out of Marianne , you have my blessing. Please though, leave Osbad for Joe Thornton and Shea Weber!
I'm very sorry Leggy for saying mean things about your hometown. You are one of my favorite Preds.It's just that the Redwings have a way of making me say and do mean things. In fact this morning before I realized it I found myself shooing a Cardinal away from the bird feeder- simply because he had red wings!
GO GENO!!!!!

Hockey Rants for June 5,2009
What a GREAT night in hockey.!!! It was such an exciting game! Sid the Kid and the Mighty Malkin were great as usual but I was thrilled to see Staal and Kennedy score as well. The Pittsburgh fans are great also. They make the game very exciting. I believe they are louder than the Pred's fans. It's hard to believe anyone can get any louder. The party outside was also exciting I would imagine. The old Slumthings looked pretty low and I hope that continues to be the case. Babs looked as bad as he looked the night the Preds shut them out 8 to zip. Way to go Osbad. Keep it up. I like to see you throw tantrums. I wonder what was going through Marianne's mind? We will just have to wait until tomorrow night and see if the good luck continues. I certainly will be pulling for the young crowd not the geritol gang. I realize the Slum City gang has a lot more experience and will be in their home arena but I will just keep my fingers crossed for the Pens. Keep up the fight Pens!
GOOOOO PENS!
GOOOOO PENS!

Hockey Rants for June 3,2009
Game three of the Stanley Cup finals could not have been better! Well, maybe better had the Pens shut out Detroit. I'm really happy with the win, though. I just hope the good luck carries over to game four and throughout the series. It would be sooo GREAT of Pittsburgh were to win and Marianne Hoser would still be waiting to see his name engraved on the cup. Hey guys, if Detroit should win be sure you spell his name correctly. It's MARIANNE HOSER.
Jas asked me who I dislike the most, the number one Russian player or the Slumthings uh, Redwings. I told her that I'm very fond of Geno, thank you!Actually, I believe she was thinking of someone else. It really is a toss up. I think it would be a great idea if Alex played for the Crime City gang, then I could dislike all of them at one time.I'm not too sure he would get along too well with Osbad, since the two of them like to be #! so very badly. Also, I don't think Marianne would approve either. You know how Alex likes to show off with his skill with the puck and poor Marianne is such an oaf.I'm sure his tenure at the Red's Arena will last some time anyway.
Well, enough for today. I must run along and celebrate the Pittsburgh WIN! Until Thursday I'll just keep my fingers crossed and my hopes high!
GO PENS!
GO KID, GO MALKIN, GO TALBOT, GO ROCKIN' #13, GO GONCHAR
GO ALL THE PENS!

Hockey Rants for June 2,1009
Game two of the Stanley Cup finals was a disaster! I could not even watch after the "interference call". Therefore, I did not see the Malkin-Zetterberg fight at the end.
Isn't strange how "when the shoe is on the other foot" so to speak, people can get all uptight and defensive? This morning I read a blog of a Wings fan and he was complaining how Malkin was not suspended for multiple games and how "star" players are treated differently from the other players.Does he not realize there are "stars" on the Wings team as well? In fact, all the NBC commentators can talk about is how great and wonderful Osbad is.(I'm betting on you Big Joe. You too Shea ! Way to go Talbot! You certainly know which blowhard , er GANG member, er Redwing to go after, don't you? Do you read my blog?)Does he not realize the Crime City stars have pulled crap all season? Maybe that is why they are where they are. Although I will give Babs credit for good coaching.
Someone mentioned to me that Sid the Kid doesn't smile enough. Probably not. I'm sure it would be pretty hard to smile when you're competing not only against the Wings but the entire NHL officiating staff as well. You certainly don't have to guess who they are for! Oh well, maybe they feel sorry for them, the Redwings , I mean, since they are located in the most crime ridden city in the U.S. No matter the results of the series I would rather be in Honkey Town and be a Predneck than Hockeytown and be a Redwing any day.
GO GET 'EM GENO!
