What I’m Playing

 
Marc Andre Fleury with the Cup

Marc Andre Fleury with the Cup

Not pictured is hero #2, the crossbar of the net behind him. Hell, I’ve been trying to find a shot of the footage of him literally petting the damn thing after it stopped a shot from Niklas Kronwall that snuck by him (they showed it during the TV broadcast…funny as Hell).

UPDATE : And here it is! I can now honor the crossbar!

And since Maxime Talbot also deserves some serious kudos, I will honor him the best way that I know how…embarassing, reprehensibly bad commercial spots! Actually, the ‘classic’ ad is blocked from embedding because FSN suck, but luckily there’s a followup as Max macks on the ladies.

And, in an attempt to cheer up ‘poor’ Marian Hossa, who if memory serves turned down more money and a long term deal with the Pens to go to Detroit and, well, LOSE, here’s something that should spark his flagging spirits.

And Ill just pass the puck to MArian H...oh...right...never mind.

    Good game last night! The kids watched a bit of the first period with us and Natalie decided that the Wings are really called the Feathers. Yup, the Detroit Feathers. Good name. Brennan announced that he would go and play with “those guys”, and Mia was quite interested. They all quickly became Penguins fans.

    I loved watching Fleury stroke the crossbar! That was one of the best moments of the game. If I find a photo of it I’ll send it your way.

    Excellent! And I’m glad to see the children shaking off the horrible influence of their delusional father and deciding to cheer for a team that, you know, actually MAKES the playoffs. :)

    Marian Hossa got what he deserved. Of course, he’ll probably win a cup soon. He is in Detroit, after all. This is sweet retribution, though.

    Actually, he only signed a one year deal with them, so he’s a free agent. They’d like to keep him, but they don’t have a ton of cap space, so it depends on what he’s willing to play for.

    Oh come on now – I cheered for the Penguins all through the playoffs. Well.. second round onward. I did give the Flames the benefit of the doubt.

    I’m glad Crosby got his cup. There’s no way he’ll keep this going. Some Bertuzzi-like clod is going to decapitate him next season ending his career. Probably someone hired by Gretzky to ensure he is not overshadowed.

    Yeah – I said it.

    Nice! I’ll toss that video in to the post.

    I don’t know if Gretzky will still be around…did you know he makes something along the lines of $6 mil a year as a coach…nobody else makes more than half that. Considering the Coyotes are a disaster, methinks he’s as good as done.

    I didn’t know there was a follow-up video with Maxime Talbot.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Max Talbot is awesome.

    I didn’t know of its existence, either, until I was writing up this post.

    And yes, Max Talbot is the man.

    This is a great article. I’m new to blogging but still learning. Thanks for the great resource.

    And I CERTAINLY appreciate you spamming a service where I can watch as my WoW character grows without having to do any of that pesky ‘questing’ shit. Nothing I hate more than actually playing a game, douchecakes!

    After all, why would I want to play the game I’m paying for when I can pay some desperate Vietnamese dude to do so for a bowl of rice a day?! I get a Level 80 Necromancer…he doesn’t starve to death. It’s win-win city! Ha…Win-Win City SOUNDS like it could be in Vietnam!
