- At this time, Matty Stajan is one of the NHL Top 10 League Scorers. This is probably never going to happen again, despite the fact he seems to be getting his
shit together this season and looks like he might actually be living up to the potential I, as a blindly misguided often fangirl believed he had, and looks like he might actually get a shot to center Kessel when he’s right to go later in the season. He’s a player that’s grown up through the Leafs organisation, making the jump straight to them our of juniors, and it’s good to see him finally stepping into a semblance of what they had hoped he could be when they gave him his latest contract. - I’m a fan of the retina burning Calgary uniforms. There’s something about the vintage uniform, throw backs to yesteryear when men were men, fights were a lot rougher and jerseys still had laces. God I love a good lace on a jersey. I’d love to have a pre-season original 6 tournment with all the vintage jerseys and some old school canada getting it on.
- Dear Vancouver Canucks fans. The world is not ending and if it was? Andrew Raycroft is not your saviour (see. Boston, Toronto, Colorado).
- Dear San Jose Sharks. Seriously guys? Is that what this season’s going to be like? I”m not getting the blowtorch out yet, that’s saved for atleast 10 games in, but this whole bipolar hockey team thing, is totally not cool. Your powerplay however looks completely lethal and rather terrifyingly dangerous.
- The fact no one remembers Brad Boyes gets on my nerves. The most recent rage enducing moment? Daylife has pages for TJ Oshie, Brad Winchester, Brayden Schenn but no page for 40 + goal scorer Brad Boyes. At the point of realisaiton I started to rage at the computer and actually rang a friend to complain. She Laughed
- Dear TSN. CBC and HNIC’s montages kick your montages ass. They don’t need sweeping environment shots coupled with overblown assessments of the nature of the game of hockey and its relationship to Canadians and some hammering into your skull. Take an amazing song, match it with some phenomenal editing and you’ll get a true look at the moments that make up hockey. Most HNIC montages give me shivers. My favourites so far have been the Season Finale (Sleeping Sickness by City and Colour) and the Season Opener (Human by The Killers)
