Let’s Get It Started

Game 1 – Stanley Cup Finals – Chicago/Philadelphia starts today.

No bid deal.

Tips For Chicago

• Get on your knees for Niemi, he’s playing beautifully.
• Keep Dusty in front of Luongo, he’s an initiator, and even though this didn’t work out so well in Game 1, he will get under his skin eventually.
• Get Burish out there. The more grit, the better. Plus, I’m sure he’s been dying to get some more ice time.
• Don’t shoot from 40 feet away! Keep it in close. Garbage goals could win you the series.
• Get your top line going. If your top players aren’t producing, switch up the lines a bit. You have to get them rolling or Chicago won’t pass this round.
• Try and keep the alcohol consumption to the minimum. I know you’re young and rowdy, but a hangover on a game day isn’t helping you.
• Keep the Sedin’s quiet. They’re violent when they’re rolling, shit down their Swedish throats, and break both their legs.
• Keep the pressure on.
• GO HAWKS!

Happy Birthday, Burish.

27 years old. Today, Adam Burish, my favorite Blackhawk, turns 27 years old. So he’s getting 27 beers and pictures from me. Enjoy.

Recap: Pitt/Chi

Guess who was booooooooooooooooooed all game? Even in the warmup.

Was it :

a) Cappy

b) An Asian Cowboy:

or c) This guy:

If you guessed c) Marian Ho$$a, you were right. You win a Stanley Cup. Ho$$a doesn’t.

mm , inviting , isn't it Hoss.

A few points on the game:

• The men who speak into microphones, drowning out the real sounds of the game were saying that this is the Stanley Cup Finals preview. Yep. I called this a while ago.
• Duncan Keith’s hair is my emotional support for the loss of Sex Hair.
• Oh yeah, the guy who ruined the Blackhawks for me scored. Meh. The only way he could get the goal was if he dove into the net.
• Billy Guerin had a bitchfest with Brent Seabrook.
• Orpik threw a glove at Jonny T’s face. LOLZ.
• Geno bear-hugged Colin Fraser in a middle of a face-off and starting throwing punches to his face. Not much came outta that.
• There was a lot of this :

• And a lot of this:

• Oh, the Niemi kid was pretty insane. He was on acid or something, cause he didn’t stop moving all night.
• Ditto for MAF.
• One word: JStaal.
• I want him.
• Verbeauty scores in OT. Kay.
• 2-1 final.
• Sid was out.
• Doesn’t count when Sid id out.
• Got a point.
• Hawks got two.
• I’m happy.
• Jordan Staaaaaaal.
• I miss Adam Burish.
• Max Talbot looked pretty god.
• I miss Adam Burish.
• Adam.
• Burish.

Alex, Start A Blog, Seriously. I Love You

I didn’t know they called Sergei ‘Gonch’. That sounds really macho…I’m gonna name my kid Gonch. It sound kinda like The Hulk. The Gonch. “Hey, Gonch, come here for a sec…” Hmmm…weird.

• I always knew Heatly was a douchebag. To make matters worse, I even told you a couple times, but did you ever listen? NO. Now look who’s a quitter? You should have seen it coming, I mean what kind of a team player just stands COMPLETELY still all game long (and I mean no foot movement whatsoever) and then scores a hat-trick? I dunno how he does it, but those are the signs of a major ass-monkey. Trust me. I said the same thing about Spezz a while back and then look who almost got traded? Luckily, JayJay (my new name, just thought of it now) smartened up a bit, and kicked major foreign booty in the Worlds.
• Johnny Toews speaking french kind of makes me hate him a little bit. Just a little. He sounds like…like…RACINE. ewwy! And he’s all like, “Jambes de grenouille, merci Monsieur, tres delicieux, merci. Aurevoir.” Douche face francophone. Yeah, thats right. I just called Tazer a douche face francophone. Deal with it.
• -al with love and stuff
• P.S: Going to game 7 baby! WHOOT WHOOT!!!! Thank you Jordan Staal. Eric, I miss you. Your wife is a slut. If it weren’t for her you wouldn’t have a record. Your little brother has done time, thanks to you! You have such bad taste!P.P.S (from last message): I’ve decided that Gonch is a too manly name for my kid. It’s also a hard name to live up to. I’ve decided that if I have a boy, his name shall be Marc-Andre. If I have a girl, she shall be Geno. I think that’s an awesome name for a girl. She’d kick ass. She’d be like the schoolyard bully who beat up the geeky kid named Marc-Andre.
• EDIT : I think the people who read underdog obsessed should know about Tyler. They’d be very happy to learn that he’s staying in your house right now and that you wear Jordan Eberle’s shorts to gym class. You are a famous person’s cousin, take advantage of it. If I were Tyler’s cousin I wouldn’t waste a second telling the whole damn world. Now, you can. Do it. And tell him I say hi and tell him who I am, because if you don’t he’ll just think I’m this random stalker person who’s obsessed with him. ……don’t answer that.
• Hugs and stuff,
• Al
• P.S. Did you notice how I said Tyler instead of Tyler Myers? I’m growing as a person! Yay! Cept, saying Tyler Myers is like saying Adam Burish. The Tyler can’t go without the Myers, just like the Adam can’t go without the Burish. Enough said.
• The word ‘Burish’ is kind of starting to sound like some sort of Indian burrito. It’s losing it’s charm.
