9:30 p.m. May 3rd. It's over for 2007-2008.


It's strange. I expected to be more upset when the habs season finally came to an end but for some reason I'm not. I mean I'm sad that I have no more hockey to watch until October but I think it's because I'm just so ridiculously proud of what this team accomplished this year. I never in my wildest dreams would have imagined that we would be ending the regular season in first place or that we would make it to the second round of the playoffs. Even then we played an amazing series against the Flyers, the bounces just didn't go our way. I'm so proud of those boys and it's amazing to know that it's only going to get better from here. Once Price and the other rookies have some more experience this team is going to be great. I'm looking forward to that more then anything. I'm not too worried about the offseason. A nice UFA would be great but I'm not too worried about losing anyone of great importance. Smokes was awesome this year even if he took some heat but it's time for Chipchura to come play for us. As much as I heckle the guy, Brisebois was great this year and it was nice to see him end his career in Montreal. I honestly couldn't care less where Ryder goes & I have a feeling we'll be re-signing Streit so I'm not too worried.

Last night was a lot of fun, losing aside. Jenn, Melissa & Laura came by for a girls night and we made pizza and blared Hedley and got pumped up for the game. It was a lot of fun until the third period when they scored the goal to make it 5-4 and then 6-4 on that empty netter. I think the basement was silent. There were tears. Not going to lie. Especially when the boys saluted the crowd and Carbo was clapping. After that we picture whored a bit and watched Juno and passed out. This morning we hung out for a few hours and then everyone left. I'm so excited for next season because I'll be spending it with those four. It's going to be great.

It all comes down to tomorrow night. Part of me believes that we'll win tomorrow..after that I don't know. I don't see use getting eliminated at home & I'm expecting a huge game from Price. I'm having the girls over for a Girls Night to get away from our piles of homework and be stress free for at least one night. Hopefully our season doesn't end tomorrow because that would definitely be a huge downer on the evening.

I had to deal with a real jerk today. As a girl who watches hockey..and is actually insanely knowledgeable about the sport..I've had to deal with a lot of guys who can't seem to accept the fact that girls DO watch sports. I can't even say how many times I've had people say, "Wow..you know a hell of a lot..FOR A GIRL" or my personal favorite. "You sure know what you're talking about...I thought you'd just be watching for the guys." I've learned to deal with remarks like that because I know that I can argue the hell out of any subject involving hockey just as well as any guy out there. Well today I had to hold back big time from telling off a customer. I'm generally a very patient person and non-confrontational but when someone makes a comment like the guy did today..I lose it. I was standing at my cash talking with some girl who told me that she had been a huge Habs fan for years now. Well this guy walks in, a huge Boston fan, and gets involved in our conversation. He goes "Habs are going to lose. Better deal with it" and she goes "We've come back before. We can do it again." and he goes "You habs fans don't know how to deal with loss. You're the worst fans in the world" and she responds with "We can handle loss...but we haven't lost yet so why do I have to stop believing?" Anyways, she told him off a little bit more and then left. Then the asshole turns to me and goes "What the fuck does she know?! She's probably been watching it for like a month." I almost knocked him out. It took EVERYTHING in my being to hold back from leaning across the counter and smashing his head in. If that had been a guy instead of a girl I guarantee he would never have made that comment. Some of these guys are such ignorant pigs. I understand that there's a good handful of girls that DO watch it just for the guys..or just to attract guys by pretending they know what's going on..but then you have a good handful of those of us who know exactly what's going on and who are JUST as passionate as the next guy. UGHHH. /end rant

Guaranteed I'm missing things. I just need to get through my mounds of homework and I'll be able to enjoy everything.

This weekend has pretty much sucked. I was looking forward to a fun weekend with Jenn & Laura after having worked and gone to school all week but I came down with the stomach flu or food poisoning on Friday night and spent all of Saturday in bed. I haven't been sick to my stomach in almost 5 years so that was absolutely no fun whatsoever. I was so sick that I passed out at 8:00 and missed the entire hockey game but apparently I didn't miss anything of importance. All I know is that Marty Biron(I hate that I love him) stood on his head and Price did not. Whatever, it's still anybody's series. I woke up this morning feeling a lot better but now I'm up to my eyeballs in homework. I actually have some motivation to get some stuff done today so I think I'm going to do that seeing as how my list of stuff to do is almost 3 pages long.

I can already feel that summer is coming up because my list of concerts is growing. It always makes me feel better once hockey season ends, to know that I have concerts lined up to keep me busy because just working all summer is pretty depressing. My list isn't that long but I'm adding to it every couple of weeks:

May 30th - Matthew Good @ Club Soda
June 5th - The New Cities @ Le National
June 29th - Hedley @ Riverfest in Brockville
August 26th - Faber Drive/AAR/Simple Plan @ The Bell Center

Bring on the Flyers...and their fans!!!!! Oh this is going to be FUN. I've gotten into an argument with 6 fans...and I'm keeping count. I enjoy Flyer fans, they're just as obnoxious and opinionated as us Habs fans. I can, however, state how annoying it is to see them bitch and complain about the reffing in Game 1 when A) It was 3 calls for each team and B) they got away with a blatant goalie interference call that basically won them Game 7. People who blame the refs drive me up the wall. I mean sometimes they have the right, and I find myself doing it sometimes too but honestly look at your team and analyze them. Don't point fingers at the refs all the time, ESPECIALLY when they played a fair game. I also can't help but laugh at all the ones going "OMGGGG THAT WAS A HIGH STICK. NO GOAL" when CBC had said that they found conclusive evidence to prove that it was not a high stick. Keep arguing with the high tech cameras Flyer Fans.

Anyways, pretty good game for both teams. Wasn't impressed with either goal tender but Kovy really stepped it up which is a huge relief for me. I'm worried they're going to use crashing the net as their main strategy. The one thing that drives me insane in hockey is seeing a player deliberately crash into a goalie. I can honestly say I even get annoyed if it's someone on my team who has done it to an opposing goalie. I just hate it so much. Stay away from the goalie and stay out of the crease. It's quite simple. Don't deliberately get in their face and knock them over. I could have killed someone when I saw Briere run down Huet and then whack him when Huet pushed him away. UGH.
