130 days and counting...

Player of the Game... Yayness!!!
So no, I don't know exactly what day training camp is going to start but I've tentatively counted on it being no later than Saturday, September 18th, so that puts us 130 days until happiness. Good grief, that's a bunch of days. I don't think I'll be miserable but I'll know that it could be and will eventually be better.
My hockey season is pretty much over now. Team USA, who I adore because of my national pride, their underdog status, and all around sexiest team on ice qualities, lost in the bronze game today. Either way, today would have been the end but I'm sad for my boys. It seemed that I had adopted most of them as "mine" over the past few seasons so it was pretty awesome having them all in the same uniform.
I honestly think that Suter did what he needed to do to claim his spot on next years Olympic team which thrills me to death. He didn't dominate on the scoreboard but even my biased opinions of him were confirmed in his defensive play... after all, he is a DEFENSEman. His diving play in the third took me back to the 07 playoffs when I first decided he was my favorite player.
Of course I'll pick my favs for the Cup and watch and hope for them to win but it's not the same. I can be excited for Carolina and the Penguins fans but I'm so jealous of them it's insane. Unless I'm the one screaming my head off, from my seat, with chills and almost tears after an unbelievable goal or hit or fight or standing O or whatever it won't even come close. Pred fans deserve to have that experience just as much (and in my opinion MORE) than any other fans in the league. In particular, everyone seems to be rooting for the Ducks but I can't. I'm bitter that they're the ones that get to continue to hear their goal song (which I hate with a passion). I hope they get their dreams crushed as badly as mine were in April. Same for the Caps. It may be illogical but we beat the Wings, Canes, and Pens... let them beat the ones we couldn't. Oh and Getzlaf and Ovechkin are assclowns that I hope lose miserably in the next couple of games.
