Smack my bitch up

Which would be a grand summation of what the Sharks did to the Avs last night, though after that first goal at the beginning of the first period things could have gone the other way in a big hurry. Thankfully they did not, and the Sharks spanked them good and proper on home ice to an enthusiastic response from the crowd. I was actually bouncing up and down and crowing with glee with Marleau put the game away, I'd been chanting "Marleau needs a goal." for a good hour and then, voila, he does it. Ok, now I'm getting the Marleau jersey.

The only downside of the entire game was the two ESPN announcers acting like hormonal school girls over Colorado. They'd rave over any little thing an Av did while completely ignoring the incredible play of Owen Nolan, and the dogged determination of Ricci, not to mention the sniper-like accuracy of Teemu Selanne. If a puck made it past Roy they'd wail and gnash their teeth like it was a sign of the apocalypse. Yeah, he's a great goalie, no question, but he's not the son of god. Actually he's a fucker, but not quite as big a one as Blake. Oh I want Marchment to wipe that smarmy smirk off his face at some point this round.

Oh I should mention that I didn't get to class last night after all. At 6 I got nervous about my ride showing up so I gave her a call. Turns out I woke her up. Ah well, at least it gave me a chance to get some laundry done, and with the way my week's going, that's probably for the best. And I got to watch the entire game which made me happy. I also took some time to practice the veil moves we'd learned in the last class I attended and did about 30 extra abdominal exercises so the night wouldn't be a total bust. I also finished my mom's afghan and got back to work on my own. I'd say I'm about 2/3 of the way through mine, go me!

Crunches: 90 regular + 30 abdominal twists
Hockey Fandom Level: willing to bear Marleau's child

...and I'm betting with the way you look in those bellydancing outfit pics, he'd willing agree. Mraoow!

Angie and I are planning on putting in jersey orders in June after I get back; want in on it, to share shipping costs?

As much as I like ESPN's website, some of the announcers are rabidly biased--East Coast, big name teams. Which is why I like Barry Melrose, who has been on the Sharks bandwagon for several years now, and John Buccigross, who will also go on record to toot the Sharks' horn.

I'm so sorry you missed class, and wish you could've gone to the game. You *need* to go to a playoff game, if you can get a ticket later

I'm surprised to hear about the general ESPN commentators, because the NHL2Night guys certainly seem to like the Sharks, yeah. Er, not that I stayed up to watch it last night, or anything. Nope, not me.

Ellie--I kept hoping and hoping that O'Marleau would score again, and that you were watching when he finally did. And I wish you could have come to last night's game!

Oh, and I definitely want you along for any Brittania Arms outings; I figure you can catch the guys' eyes and we'll go from there. Maybe they have a costume event, and you can go in that amazing belly dance costume. ^_
