Eastern Conference All-Star Squee Team!

Alright, so here's the deal, my wonderful HLOG sister, KMS2 came up with the wonder idea to do an All-Star Squee Team for each conference...so here are my picks. If you want to see hers Eastern is here and Western is here. What you have to do is choose a line up...1 goalie, 2 defensemen, a left winger, right winger, and a center.

GOALIE - None other than Vesa Toskala! KMS2 decided to go with Lundqvist but he doesn't stand a chance next to Vesa. Alright, so yes he DID get traded to the Leafs, but, I still you can deny that level of hottness....right?!? And, not to even mention his stats. He is great and CLEARLY the only choice for goal in the Eastern Conference.

DEFENSEMEN - Shane O'Brien aside from being an absolutely adorabe guy, he is a favorite of, Finny he is also a home town boy. He spent some time in Cincinnati playing with the Cincy Mighty Ducks. I remember him as the guy who would go to the bench and look up into the stands and wave and wink at some of the ladies in the audience. The other defenseman is Chris Campoli he kind of reminds me of Sheldon Souray a bit...but he is absolutely fabulous.

CENTER - Zach Parise this Devil is probably one of the hottest guys I have ever seen in my life. That's all that needs to be said.


LEFT WING - Alexander Semin not only is this guy amazing on the ice. But, he is also quite attractive...and how can you not like a guy who does something like, throw the puck at the net...how could you not want a bad ass like him on your team?!

RIGHT WING - Scottie Upshall ok so maybe that picture doesn't do it for ya but he is pretty gosh darn hot, and since his trade from the Preds to the Flyers things have been looking up for this little guy. He is starting to develop into a great player.

So there ya have it folks. And, by the way KMS2 was right this is a lot harder than it looks. I may have the Western Conference up tonight because I'm out of town and just layin around.

Second Place is First Loser

So, I entered a playoff pool not too long ago...and I did pretty damn good. But, apparently not good enough coming in second and losing by 4 points. My punishment? Write a nice post about the Winner's Favorite team. The winner was, CapsNut so I have to write a nice post about the Washington Capitals. Here are the reasons why I like the Caps.
1. Alexander Ovechkin ~ Come on you have to like a guy who can beat out Crosby for the Calder...and he has the most personality out of anyone else who is in the spotlight like he is.
2. Ted Leonsis ~ I am really jealous that the Caps have him as an owner. He is so supportive of us bloggers and is openly supportive of us. He even has his own blog
3. Alexander Semin ok so this won't be anything like Margee's post about him...but he is a great player. He has great vision on the ice...and it's getting pretty entertaining to watch him on the ice...especially when he does things like this:

That's all I got...

No worries Habs fans...

Ok...well it was for sure an interesting game...living in Northern Kentucky I don't get to see the Habs play too often...although I am a fan of the team and in all honesty they are my favorite Canadian team. Anyway I was pleasantly surprised with the way they were playing. Man can they ever hit. My mom and I were watching and she's not the biggest hockey fan in the world and she's like man those guys are mean. I thought it was kind of funny. I love the games where they hit hard. The Habs did come out with a victory for the first time in 6 games...and my beloved Blue Jackets still haven't figured out how to stay consistent and to play a full 60 minutes of hockey. In the first period there was no scoring and then in the second period Passy let in 3 goals...I was hoping they would pull him but Hitch didn't. Then in the third period the Jackets went to work...scoring 2 goals. Montreal's rookie goalie was solid. I was amazed with Huet being out he could be just the solution for these guys. Gilbert Brule for the Jackets had another very very good game...he even got a goal. He played hard and kept up with these guys. I think that Columbus got into too much penalty trouble. They took 7 penalties I believe....about 3 more than the other games. Anyway good game...good effort by the Habs in the second period and a good effort by the Jackets in the third...and I missed the first period so I don't really know what happened...sorry I was drivin home from my aunts.

On another game...I don't have a lot to say....the Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals. I have never seen these 2 teams play so I was so excited to watch it. I was impressed of course with Alexander Ovechkin, and Alexander Semin. They played awesome tonight...even though my beloved Ovechkin didn't get a goal. Malkin and Staal were a lot of fun to watch...and then there is Crosby. I honestly didn't even notice him on the ice. I don't know if it was because of my hatred for him or just because he was having a bad game...but honestly I wasn't impressed...so that's all I have to say.

I wanna give my three stars of the day....in the 2 games I watched....
1. Jaroslav Halak amazing in his NHL debut
2. Evgeni Malkin so fun to watch
3. Gilbert Brule has really stepped it up

That's all for the night!!
