Who's Here?

I am effin' pissed. This Thursday is a clusterfuck sandwich topped with extra bullshit. Long weeks and losing streaks will do that to ya. I'm almost too busy to type, but thank god for my 'Yanni's Christmas Spectacular' CD my grandmother got me. His soothing harmonies on 'White Christmas' are the only thing keeping me from dropping the mitts with this dude from IT. I doubt my day, and more importantly my week, would be so bad if the Flyers finished off my glutinous weekend with a mini-winning streak. I've been off the reservation since last Tuesday. Injuries, illegal hits, elbows, flu, black fridays, pucks to the face, and shoddy play made the Flyers harder to digest than Aunt Cathy's tofu stuffing.

Thankfully the season is only a quarter of the way done. Every freakin' person on the innernette is calling for Papa Steven's head. These are the same people that would run away from the T-Rex is Jurassic Park right into the shitter, completely ignoring Dr. Grant's advice of remaining still..and what do they get for their hurried, all-hope-is-lost view? They get fucking eaten. The point I'm trying to make is this: Don't get eaten by a giant lizard from the Mesozic Era and....stop panicking. Paul Holmgren has a great sense for the pulse of this team. Mike Richards is also a great captain. The team is going to huddle around each other like penguins in the fucking Antarctic and stay warm off of Dan Carcillo's body heat. This team will come out of this shitstorm playing stronger and more focused. These weeks, when our team isn't playing well, need to be appreciated just as much as a winning streak. Losing to Atlanta, getting shit calls against Buffalo, all make WINNING that much more enjoyable. It makes the 2 points we're going to get tonight feel worthwhile. Losing is what makes winning taste so sweet. And if it doesn't work, then Peter Laviolette will be next in line to wear Van Huesen shirt/tie combos behind the Flyer bench. We're gonna need a montage....

As for the Canucks, they have two buttsniffing brothers and a stud goaltender. Their jerseys are sweet and Ryan Kesler will get his teeth broken tonight. There, how is that for a gameday preview. If you want some long winded description of Vancouver, go suck an egg.

Now I know what Chris Pronger feels like. Winning streak begins tonight. Let's Go Flyers.
