I wanna get in trouble, I wanna start a fight.

Ok, P!nk has taken over me. That song get's played over and over and over and over and over... well, you get the idea. Not just on the radio but on my computer at work too. Somehow her angry song about starting fights mellows me to not start one. It's quite amazing.

Two days people. Two freaking days until the regular season starts for my boys. I need this so bad. I need a reason to not wanna cut myself (not literally) at work. I need this something to look forward to when my boss decides that his douchebaggy nature needs to take over his already prickish personality. I will outlast him. That's final. He can't keep up this chirade that much longer and I look forward to the day that he gets fired with entirely too much joy.

Anyway, back to happy thoughts. Two days. Some random thoughts about what I saw in the preseason...


  • My boy is going to surprise you. I could go on and on about his game play but I'll leave it at these quick thoughts. He's already eating up top guy minutes and the frustration is building. It's only a matter of time before he goes ape-shite on someone and I can't wait until that day.

  • Our D over all is going to blow people away. We're going to need it with our lack of offensive power but I think DP's stingy and compulsive D grabbing is going to pay off this year.

  • Our top guys are the right top guys for us. It'd be nice to have a superstar but I don't think it would help over all. We need to use that "little engine that could" attitude.

  • Jordin Tootoo is still the shit. The man that first drew me to this wonderful sport is getting even better. Look that that picture. That man is 6'7. He is towering over Toots and what happened? He totally whooped him. I wish I had been there because that was amazing. Keep it up Jordin... you beautiful man.

  • BTW, I still love Whispy and Fiddler is still going to be awesome.

I really hope this season is half as magical as last season was. Last season was undeniably special. Our future was more uncertain than ever and our team had been gutted by the evil that is Liarpold but our underdogs made it happen. The trips that happened were amazing and every possible moment was made more special just because they were happening. Again... half as special is all I'm asking. I can't wait. Best friends and hockey can make any terrible situation bareable.
