I want this mount so bad.…its like the only pretty mount in the game… (but apparently it takes like 25 people in an all night raid that only resets every 4 days and only has a 2 – 3% drop rate………….)
John: hahahahahah the first ever phoenix mount was given to a kid via the make-a-wish foundation
me: thats so cute
John: he died last year
me: can i have his mount?
John: no
me: bummer.

I think my favorite thing about this playoff season is that Toronto didn’t make it. *giggles* … One side of me likes it because I hate the leafs, but also… I don’t have to see all my friends get their hopes up and then have them crash down when Toronto gets kicked out 2nd or 3rd round. Now they know… it’s just not going to happen. And probably never will again. I think this is the 52nd year since Toronto has won a cup. *sorry, i was wrong, it’s only been 41 years, but they have won it the 3rd most times in the league. Colorado won it twice… that’s 16% of their years in the league where as Toronto, even with 21 wins sits at 23%, and for a lot of those years there were only like 5 other teams to go up against… my point here is… Toronto sucks.* The last time the Avs won it? 2001. Delicious.
Anyway – I’ve been following hockey in the time that I have, but haven’t actually watched any games this season (I know…) And I’m still amused by the “shitty” teams now being in the top 10 simply because of the cap. That cap changed so much. But Detroit and Montreal are still the top 2 (as it sits now) …. I’m not so sure anything can really bring them down. Dallas and Colorado aren’t as high as I’d like them to be, but I still heart them.
Last night I sat in on a really good discussion with my parental units and a few of their friends. I meant to come down and start writing about it but I drank a lot of wine and watched Sex and the City instead. I will write about it after I get home from work tonight. It’s good. I promise.
WOO! GO AVS! Forsy was a star last night 
I meant to follow the U-20 a lot closer than I did…but I got caught up with job searching, visiting people… etc.
Anyway, Argentina ended up winning 2 – 1 against Czech. I sort of knew Argentina was going to win, they’re a phenomenal team. Of course the games didn’t go without controversy. On Thursday a brawl broke out between Canadian police forces and the Chilean team. Canada was tagged with being racist, and some players ended up having to sit out of the game – none-the-less the team came in at third defeating Austria.
Canada sold a record number of tickets for the event and had a TV following of more than the world series. (I doubt that’s hard to beat…)
The absolute highlight of the games… was this quote that I just heard on CBC Sunday Night News (thats really just a link to CBC news… the best news around. love!)… Right so, my absolute highlight of the games:
“These records were not the only ones Canada broke. Canada was the first home team to never win a single game, in fact to not score a single goal.”
WOO!!! GO CANADA!!!
If you watched the Colbert Report tonight, that title is a whole lot funnier.
…I’ll admit, they actually don’t get that many goals…
Hockey is starting to get less and less entertaining. On top of all the fighting, and the drama accompanied by new teams and rosters that just don’t make any sense the games are just less exciting. Accompanied by an extremely dissapointing ending to the stanley cup with the Ottawa Senators getting completely slaughtered by the Ducks I’ve had to turn my attention and love to a new sport.
Soccer.
Maybe it’s true that when you date a new guy you pick up some of his interests. He happens to fulove (fulove = fucking love, clever eh?) soccer… So unless I want to sit and listen to nonsense for an hour after a game, I just watch so that I can actively participate. If I were strongly opposed to learning the sport, then I wouldn’t do it, but I don’t mind so I’m still maintaining my feminist vibe. Woo!
The trouble is – I don’t know what I’m supposed to be watching Soccer isn’t like hockey. Well, maybe it is, I just don’t “get it” yet. But right now I’m attempting to follow not only the MLS but also the qualifying rounds for EURO 2008 and CONCACAF… And then, on June 30, the U-20 world cup is starting up. And we can’t forget about FIFA (which is U-20, but I mean the older guys…) I have a slight idea of the teams that I like in each category, but I don’t know if they’re embarassing yet, so I’m going to keep my mouth shut and my fingered slowed for now.
Except I’m obviously cheering for the TFC, even though they’re not doing so great thus far. And I guess it’s not really “obviously” since I don’t cheer for the TML and they’re the Toronto hockey team. But I feel like I should cheer for something from Toronto, and since I hate baseball and don’t intend on following any other sport, the TFC gets my love.
I don’t plan on writing about soccer ever again on the blog, unless something really exciting happens, but I just thought everyone should know that not only have I revegetarianized myself this week, but I have also become a soccer fan.
Woo!
Well. There’s Hasek. On his back.
The finale will be Ottawa vs Anaheim. The last game between Anaheim and The Wings was pretty depressing. I actually wanted Detroit to win – but it is always funny to see a rival team lose.
So now it’s Go Ottawa Go!…
But in my mother’s words “Who even wants to watch that?”
Honestly.
I’ll watch all the games anyway. Because I’m a good little Canadian like that. I decided that I would start watching Soccer as well – but rumor has it that “my team”… just lost some big game that pretty much ended it all.
So NEXT year I’ll like soccer. …What do people do over the summer? …Is this “Euro 2008″ thing a big soccer deal? If it is WOO! Euro 2008! I just like cheering for things. But I have a feeling that the teams I’d want to cheer for in soccer would pretty much suck – such as Sweden. England must not be that bad? We’ll see. I’ll get into this soccer thing.
But first… GO SENS!
