Since I am about as religous as I am an NBA fan (which means not at all) I’ll wish you the best for the holidays in the way it really matters… GOOD PRESENTS… Get Drunk for New year’s and don’t let your family piss ya off too much (and for God’s sake don’t be like me and take an 8am job on Christmas Eve)

It’s nice to be back after our little incident with the phishers (hell even I thought I got fired too… go figure :p) over the weekend… who knew my little rants attracted the on-line porn crowd right??? It’s a damn shame with the team doing so well of late I don’t get to say stuff till we throw a stinker…. go figure right?? Anyway… time to resume my form of PUCK ENTERTAINMENT!!!!

– About a month ago a friend of mine, she knows who she is, called me out on something “if you’re such a damn Kevin Weekes defender, where the hell is your Weekes jersey??”… now I know she was just busting my chops and being the pain in the ass to me I am to everyone else, but I had some time before the game and I was waiting around the train station area (even though I drive in) to give Dave and his family their tickets… and I wander into the jersey store… I’m thinking… hey I need to get Brian a gift and pay off the money I owe him at the same time… I see the Reebok jerseys and they want $200 for them (for $200 for a REPLICA jersey it better come with a puckbunny for my sexual enjoyment after my own damn hockey games… in other words…Reebok can either blow me or hire someone willing to fill in for them!)… and I keep looking… and there it is… in the back… $125… Kevin Weekes CCM replica jersey… I’m like… oh yeah I got my birthday money… I’m buying this OUT OF SPITE AND SPITE ALONE …. one of the side perks of working one’s brains out at times is the money to drop down on such an idiot level of obnoxiousness!

So anyway… on to the game shall we??

the good:

– Devils played well and kept getting chances despite the Bruins trap of death that was going on all game long, I thought we played well enough to win and the difference was Thomas made one absurd HOLY SHIT LEVEL FIVE type save… and Clemmensen didn’t (if Weekes played this game he’d be exiled for a MONTH for it)

– Bobby Holik was hitting anything and everything in sight again (sadly he didn’t take a run at DONUTMAN… it would have been worth it)

– On the Holik Front… holy hell we’re paying $8 million smackers for a 4th line of Holik/Rolston and Clarkson.. but hot shit it works!!!

– … and all of a sudden it was Rangers 4… Caps 1!!

– the penalty killing has been a hundred stars all month long… just wanted to say it and praise it and this no-name defense we have, it’s been getting the job done in damn fine fashion!

– Rangers 4… Caps 2… I think this is worth sticking with

– the second period banter of Ultimate Warrior, Dusty Rhodes, Randy Savage (then, now and the announcer version… and who doesn’t love to yell…”BONESAW’S READY!!!!!” ??), Hulk Hogan… Ric Flair… and still not miss a BEAT of the game… outstanding!!!!! It’s a 209er special but damn that was ood times guys thanks!!!

– Rangers 4… Caps 3 (was at this point the Bruins scored so I pulled the Weekes jersey out of the bag and waved it around to anyone near me going “THE POWER OF WEEKES COMPELS YOU…. THE POWER OF WEEKES COMPELS YOU!!” (If I was Catholic to the extent of anymore then I want presents tommorrow I’d consider that more offensive then my WHITE POWER pro-Colin White chants!)

– want to talk about another guy who’s come out of nowhere and been outstanding… I’m talking Jay Leach… another Lou diamond in the rough gem!

– CAPS TIE THE GAME… BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF WEEKES!!! I may start bringing the extra jersey as a damn prop now!!!

the Bad:

– can we hit ANY more posts? Seriously… Iwas having Robbie Ftorek flashbacks!

– 6 forwards with an empty net… umm… yeahhhhhNO, please never never again (when you have Martin, Oduya and even Andy Greene on your bench this is just foolish and will kill you EVERY time…..)

– While this team was due for an offensive stinker (and when you’re a team that is going to rely on the offense to win games like this team needs to… this is going to happen now and then and you just gotta live with it)

– the Capitals didn’t win the game till I was back in the car and had no one to laugh about it with!

Doc Emerick said it best that game: Having six forwards on the ice with no goalie in net is the ultimate Russian Roulette. And sure enough, our boys were hit with the one bullet in the chamber.

Overall, the game sure as fuck lived up to the hype and billing. Too bad the result was not what I wanted.

I was wondering what the hell you were walking around with Scott…I also didn’t realize the Weekes jersey was only $125, that’s not bad at all…

I was in 210 last night for the first time all season. One of these days I’ll wind up with tickets one section to the left…one of these days…

They had two more of them in the store across from the Subway in the train station, I’m sure they will still be there Friday, it was too good a deal to NOT get on the darned principle of it!!!

The seat next to me is still up for the taking on Friday if ya want it sir… let me know ASAP… I hate wasting that seat!

Hopefully you were within earshot of the nonsensical hilarity that was going on in the last row!

I’ve got a ten dollar gift certificate for that place, too…I think I may be buying myself a Christmas gift on Friday, perhaps…If not Weekes, then someone else…I want to get them to make me an Oduya jersey.

I was moderately within earshot, I couldn’t hear everything, but I got the jist of it…It was the first time I was on your side of the 200s since the Dallas game, and god I missed it. Something just seemed right about being across the aisle from Santa two days before Christmas.

I appreciate the offer on the seat, but I’m already going to that one…Keep me posted on other games though, I can’t always get someone to go with me and I hate going alone, so I’ll definitely take you up on the offer in the future.

Yeah can’t argue with being in the Santa section… last night was the first night the whole group o’random was there at once and damn it was amusing!!

THE POWER OF WEEKES COMPELS YOU!! (it’s all over facebook now… well my page :p)

Well I pretty much have the seat open to me from now until I would GUESS March (stupid paperwork)… shoot me an email on days you want… usually Mindy walks in and scoops them, but this pesky work thing screws up more then just my life!
