Geezers and Recitals/

some very disturbing things I have seen. so turns out I was right about those Detroit players being Geezers. there's some guy on Detroit, Chris Chelios I think, and he is 47. FORTY FREAKING SEVEN! he's going to get killed out there! :O! his grandkids should be afraid for him.

I am currently wearing my Crosby shirt, waiting for the game tonight, and feeling sad because I am probably going to miss the first period because I am going to my friend's dance recital. :/ and it doesn't end until 8 pm. so I am gonna try and give the Pens as much luck as possible, even though I don't get to watch the first period. man, this sucks :( I wanna watch my Fleurs, Kid, Tangers, Maxy, Russie, Geno, Staalers, Gonchie and company kick some red wings butt!

It has come to my attention that Sergei Federov and Victor Kozlov have ditched the Caps for the KHL. ha-ha, it's kind of ironic to me that Feds went and Kozzie followed. since Feds is one of the only vets on the Caps, I wonder what will happen next. perhaps the whole dressing room will be thrown into a panic. heheh :)

and I was creeping around on the internet yesterday night and I found a 2009 mock NHL entry draft thing. i was really excited because it showed Dmitri Kulikov being drafted by Columbus. which is amazing for a number of reasons:

-He's Russian
-he played with Filatov in this year's world juniors
-he's a defenceman, and Columbus needs an offensive blueliner. (sorry, Mikey, you're trying)
-he doesn't play in the KHL, so there shouldn't be too many problems signing him.
-nominated for defenseman of the year in the OHL.

the website also had this order of players going, which I agree with strongly:

NYI- Johnny Tavares (if they pick anyone else, they are tremendously stupid. they need him for too many reasons to count.)

TBL-Victor Hedman (clearly, he could be of use in New York also, but let's face it-Tampa bay doesn't fare much better. they have some prospect offense in Stamkos, now they need some D men.)

CA-Matt Duchene (from what I hear this is pretty much a done deal. apperently, both parties are hopeful.)

Atl.- Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson (they need him. end of story.)

LA- Evander Kane (agreed. they could use some good offense to go along with Doughty.)

and here's where I disagree:

Phoenix- Brayden Shenn
Toronto- Jared Cowen

^ why would Toronto not pick Luke Shenn's brother? I'm sure the sibling dynamics would be there. think Henrik and Daniel Sedin, except not twins and not revolsive. :D

and besides, OTTAWA, is supposed to Draft Cowen. I have been stressing how much they need some defense for practically the whole year! and as awesome as I think Ryan Ellis is, he's a tad too small. that's the only reason he won't go higher, because of his size. and I know Karlsson's a shrimp, but he's the exception. Ottawa can't have two migets on the blueline. I won't allow it.

anways, here's to hoping we get Kulikov! :D what a terrific thing that would be. I swear to god, Columbus is gonna be one kick ass team next year. as long as they don't go in the way of the Thrashers, we should be fine. LET'S GO JACKETS! CARRY THE FLAG!


ps. I am for ever more now calling Tavares Johnny T. you heard it here first.
