Even though the Leafs colour is blue. (The Montreal Maroons are no longer an NHL team.)

And I really just enjoy watching him on the ice - he sticks his tongue out when he's making a really good play or skating hard which is like a poker tell but lets you know he means business. The nickname was Verbeek's originally, yeah. Which was cool as far as I was concerned that our POTUS knew anything about hockey (assuming). But mostly he gets called the brat, or rat, by the team. Or just Marshy. Anyway, he's in the celebrity top five (which I think needs to be increased to 10 at this point lol)<br /><br />I don't even get a polite nod...notice how you & I are the ONLY ones writing on this post? lolJenn Flynn-Shonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441834864191292424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080647999171945249.post-10796004658779777892012-04-13T12:53:48.383-07:002012-04-13T12:53:48.383-07:00Lol...Marchand, huh? Is he really called the '...Lol...Marchand, huh? Is he really called the 'little ball of hate', or did Pres. Obama just pull that out of his ass? I think that was Pat Verbeek, like 20 years ago. You're not gonna get any crap from me about crushing like a 6th grader. I do it all the time! Anyway... The B's did a great job of containing the Caps but man they gotta get more than one past that Holtby kid. <br /><br />It was good to see Jobing.com arena full and loud, esp. after they won in OT. Most of the Game 1's were upsets...except for the Rangers, of course. Grrrrr.<br /><br /><br />It's nice to have someone who appreciates the occasional hockey-themed blog post.

That's why I stopped at the f...I know, I know. That's why I stopped at the first round predictions. I started thinking about the Coyotes and B's needing to get past Detroit & NYR and almost started sobbing. If memory serves I don't think the B's won a single game against the Rangers this season...sure maybe that means we're due but I literally shudder when I hear their name this year. Stupid New York!<br /><br />Yeah keep your eye on the Bergeron line (usually with Seguin & Marchand [♥ <-- yes, that is a bubble heart because, yes, I'm apparently in 6th grade {which is about how old Marchy actually is but no matter, the boy can play hockey}] when there are no injuries & Claude has to shuffle lines) as far as +/- goes all 3 of them plus Chara & Kelly are the top 5 in the NHL. Fast & efficient, love that line. But yeah, our D is kinda screwed. And Horton is basically this season's Savard which makes me sob because the kid with Lucic & Krejci was pretty much unstoppable. And then Sestito went ahead & stopped him. Jackwagon.<br /><br />Anyway, with LA <i>AND</i> Flyers winning yesterday maybe our predictions were off (???)...but only in the west damn it! ;-)<br /><br />We've hit Jobing.com Arena for a couple games. One early season against the Blues (funny enough it was a Groupon and dude I've never sat in such a quiet & empty arena in my entire life! With how good they did this season now that place would be jammed) and then of course one against the B's (which my Aunt planned her trip to visit us from Boston around, of course!). I'd wager 65-75% of the arena was in black & gold :-)<br /><br />And yet again, a post-worthy length comment (um, can ya tell I like hockey much? haha)Jenn Flynn-Shonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441834864191292424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080647999171945249.post-52376218047246976392012-04-11T12:58:38.410-07:002012-04-11T12:58:38.410-07:00Haha..awesome. I love it when a reply becomes its ...Haha..awesome. I love it when a reply becomes its own post. You might be right about the Red Wings, but how the heck would Phoenix get past them if you are? The psychological advantage alone is worth two wins. <br /><br />I didn't realize your Bruins were so banged up on 'D', though I've heard about Corvo's incompetence. Yikes. Poor Horty's out again, eh? Sheesh. I know injuries are part of the game, but they always seem to happen to the same players. Maybe Seguin will step it up again, this'll be his team soon enough.<br />Pittsburgh scares the piss out of me, too. I'd be thrilled if the Devils faced them in the Conference finals, but that's as far as I can see NJ going. Pitt's probably gonna win it all. Again. Ugh.<br /><br />Nothing wrong with adopting the local team as your second favorite, especially with a townie like Yandle on the team. Are you gonna try and get out to Glendale for a game, or is it too far from where you're at? I really hope they stay where they are....<br /><br />As much as I rant about Canadian trolls trying to take 'our' teams, that's more directed at Winnipeg than Quebec. I know how hard it is to lose the team you love, but they shouldn't be rooting for that to happen somewhere else. One word: expansion.<br />Quebec in the east, Seattle in the west, keep the Coyotes in AZ. Problem solved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
