mike modano, one of my pretend boyfriends, has put the stars up 1-0 on the avs, a PPG on a beautiful 2 on 1 w/ pierre turgeon. nicely assisted, nicely scored. did i mention mo looked hot when he scored it? it goes without saying, you say? oh, yeah. duh.
UPDATE #1: blasted joe sakic. the avs cap'n has answered w/ his own PPG from forsberg & hejduk. bah.
UPDATE #2: at the first intermission, joe sakic still blasted (as is alex tanguay), too-many-men penalties still are the stupidest penalties to take and get you in big trouble at the most inopportune of moments. bah.
sarahk opinion of the day:
rulebook needs revision -- if a goalie goes to the far boards to play the puck & gets hit by an opposing player, he should be treated like a defenseman & it shouldn't be an automatic goalie-interference penalty. (and yes, it was marty that got hit and the avs that took a penalty, so no, i'm not whining about my team going down a man.)
sarahk chuckle of the game: if the ref calls a penalty based on something that is in the NHL rulebook (such as, let's see... goalie-interference), it's funny when the crowd boos the player that drew the penalty instead of booing the ref or the league. and yes, i do the exact same thing, especially if said player is edmonton's georges laraque, philly's JR or that thug brian marchment (i don't remember who he currently plays for and am too lazy to look it up right now. i can't spend my WHOLE intermission keeping you folks entertained. i know, you're all skipping the hockey posts. that's ok, i blog for me and not for y'all. FACE! hmm, so hard to get those stinkin' 80s out of my blood; those were my formative years, alas.)
UPDATE #3: sarahk would like to thank fox sports southwest for their excellent coverage of the game. at the beginning of the 2nd period, those geniuses put the pics of mo & joe (sakic), the 2 cap'ns & best players so far in the tilt, up side-by-side for a good little span of time. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. thank you, fox sports.
DOWNDATE #4: peter forsberg and the skate of matty have put the avs up 3-1. waaaah.
UPDATE #5: i hate to update just for this, but that was a nice PK by the stars just now. and for you Christian hockey idiots out there, PK in this instance does not stand for "preacher's kid". in fact, most (not all) PKs i know aren't very nice. ;)
DOWNDATE #6: there will be no further downdates by sarahk. the muser will resume when there is an UPdate. bah. shorthanded goals by the wrong team really make my eye twitch.
UPDATE #7: hooray, we answered with one of our own!!! therien from arnott, and the stars are down 2-4.
WAAAAAHHHH. oh, sorry, i forgot. there's no room in hockey for crybabies or sissies. i take back my wah. we'll win the next 4. how's that?
