1. I follow a lot of NHL teams on twitter and so far it seems the Stars are doing way more for their fans than any other organization in light of all that has happened. Sixteen free tix for season ticket holders, free tickets for kids under 12 through all of January & February, and discounted tickets to all games for college students. Plus, according to the Stars twitter account there is more to come.
2. Fuck my life, Patrick Kane looks hot. Yes, even with the cut lip. Couldn't be happier than he's back on American soil.
3. I'm a bit stressed about the Ryan O'Reilly situation. The Avalanche need to step up and freaking sign him -- like NOW.
4. Just booked my tickets to Phoenix and I'll get to see the Blackhawks @ Coyotes while I'm there. Ah, you know Saucer...she can't pass up an opportunity to fangirl over Kaner!!
5. The schedule -- this was #1 on my list yesterday but now that I've had enough time to obsess over every detail I've calmed down. So here are some highlights/disappointments:
- I will only see the Avalanche play once this year. UGH. Had there not been a lockout I would have seen them five times. Yes, FIVE times.
- I won't see the Flyers at all this year. Even if there hadn't been a lockout I wouldn't have seen them in Dallas but I had planned to go to the Flyers @ Canucks game which now will not happen. Another huge disappointment.
- I'll get to see Jagr a whole lot. This is fantastic!
- Stars schedule highlights: Ducks three times, Hawks, Coyotes, Blues, Canucks, Flames, Sharks, Kings, and Wild all twice. Oilers, Preds, Avalanche, Blue Jackets, Red Wings once.
7. My stupid fantasy league has decided to redraft. Fucking douches. I'ts not my problem they drafted poorly the first time. I'm extra annoyed because I had a sweet team with Duchene, Toews, Kane, and Varly. BOO on my stupid league!
8. Saucer fan-favorite, Tyler Seguin, has been full of delightfulness this week. The article about his ridiculously messy apartment was hilarious but I refuse to judge. Saucer's dorm room smelled so bad her freshman year Beddee didn't even want to visit. The things I found when moving out -- yikes! Plus I didn't do my own laundry until I was 21. So Segs, fuck those bitches. I still think you are dreamy. Segs has also become a twitter ninja - taking down tweets so fast most of the world doesn't even notice. But Saucer always notices...
Kisses!

O'Reilly not being signed yet is the ONLY thing that I am not happy about since the lockout ended. At first I heard talks had broke off (and I appropriately FREAKED out) and then saw they have not. However, the fact that camp has started and Dutchy is GLOWING about his new linemates has me very concerned about how the Radar situation is going to play out. (Dutchy's linemates are Gabe and P.A.) Gabe had been with Radar, but now..... Dutchy actually said he wants to talk to Sacco about his line getting to stay together permanently. He may have even said he loved them, but that could have been my brain supplying superlative information. ;)
ReplyDeleteI really thought O'Reilly would be signed by now! And I'm sure Zajac's monster deal will only make him stall for more money. UGH!
