Hockey Mania!

My house is in full hockey mania. My kids are playing NHL 2K9 on the Wii, they are waiting for the all stars skills competiton to begin and all they can talk about is hockey... This morning Zach had a practice and I went on the ice with him. I took a dive in my new skates, I'm still not a 100% on hockey skates, no problems with the figure skates but the hockey ones I'm still not great.

I wish I had tickets to go to this event. It's about $300.00 a ticket and I would need 3, because Jimmy is in Chicago for a show, plus souvenirs and food... Ah! if I win the $43 million tonight I'm there tomorrow for the all-star game, for tonight we will be watching on tv. I am sure that RDS will have great coverage of the show.

The habs this year have 4 representatives at the event and there are so many former habs also:




Price and Komisarek, Markov and Kovalev



I am a Price fan. I think the way he is cool ( sometimes too cool ) and calm is really great, he makes me nervous and I like that. Jimmy likes Komisarek. I like him too, I think that he is the next C of the canadians. The media likes him, the fan like him and the idea of him as the next C and I think the players respect him. I think he showed alot of team spirit and leadership when he was hurt. How many players go behind the bench when they are hurt? Not many.

Markov is such a great offensive defencemen, he can put it in and stop the other side from putting it in. Kovalev is just magic to watch, the things he can do are sick. He might not be scoring like last year but he creates chances for others and that is a great role model for all the young players we have. He is the C of the eastern division. What more can I say...
