Blue Hair and Blueland: Playoffs begin tonight!

The last thing Bobby Holik wanted to talk about was Kari Lehtonen's new do: a bright blue spiked mohawk, flanked by platinum blonde hair.

"Please, I ask you one favor, do not ask me about that," Holik pleaded. "You have to ignore the situation."


I love that. Bobby Holik is my favorite Thrasher. I love them all, but something about Holik. Ah, I don;t know, but if I had to buy a jersey (Leave me alone, I'm a college student. The jerseys are like 160 dollars. Don't give me that "You're not a true fan" crap, because I am, got it? Good.) it would be a Bobby Holik jersey.

But oh my gosh! Are you ready for tonight? I'm really jealous because my Dad gets to go to the games, and I have to watch it on my tiny little screen in my dorm while making sure that I obey quite hours. I woke up at the crack ass of dawn to go to my 8 am class, and when I got on the bus (wearing BLUE!!) My heart started to pound. I had remembered it was playoff day, and tried to listen on to songs like "We will Rock you" "Remember The Name" "Welcome to the Jungle" and "Another Bites the Dust". The playoffs are today! I can't wait until 6:30!!!

On that note (Woah, what's up with my font...?) Anyhow, I was on NHL.com last night watching when the page refreshed (I was doing homework too!) on the other games. I was really disappointed that Pittsburgh lost, because I'm pushing for them to win. But you know, it was the first game, and as my dad always says "Calm down! There's still a lot of hockey left to be played." Unfortunetly, for Pittsburgh, who chanced out there goalie after Ottawa was up by 5 or 6 in the last ten minutes of the 3rd, there wasn't enough time for them to get back on there game.

Something that's even sadder is what happened to Jonathan Cheechoo of SJS. Hartnell of Nashville had a "Knee-on-knee collision" with Cheechoo in the second period. I seriously doubt this was an "accident". It may have been just really bad for Cheechoo, who had to be taken off the ice by two teammates. He was only using his good leg, not putting any pressure on it. As for Hartnell, he got a 15 minute penalty. 5 for kneeing (major) and 10 for game misconduct. Tell me if that sounds like an accident? I don't know, but I hope that Cheechoo is doing better and gets back on his skates soon. It would be horrible if Hartnell ended Cheechoo's career because he got angry and intentionally kneed Cheechoo in the first game. I think Cheechoo will be back on his skates and I hope it's soon. Despite that, San Jose won. Good job San Jose!

Always,
