Our wonderful captain and his wife had their twins this afternoon (info from DMN blog):

Brady (boy) - 5 lbs, 13 oz, born at 1:53 pm
Mallory (girl) - 6 lbs, 0 oz., born at 1:54 pm

Welcome to the Earth, baby Morrows!

Game 2 Tonight

The Stars need to win. If they come out and play like they did Thursday, then this is going to be a short series. I know they have the ability to play the Wings competetively and make this series interesting.

Just as in the first two series, we need to stay out of the box in the first period. Some of those calls in Game 1 were pretty suspicious, but the Stars have to play through that. If the refs are going to call dumb penalties on them, they need to figure out how to get the PK going and play through it.

Marty needs to be better. I know he played well on Thursday, and the goals came from screens, odd-man rushes, etc but he needs to be amazing. He’s going to have to take his game to a different level for us to have a chance at winning this series.

Stu is still out tonight. I’m really worried about that “concussion” of his. I know that if he felt “moderately alive” (stole that from my dad) then he’d be playing in the series because we need him on the penalty kill and the line with Modano and Ott. Hopefully he will return in Game 3 or 4 in Dallas.

With all that being said, I think we still have a real shot at this series. BELIEVE!

On a side note, it got up to 100 degrees here today!

Stars Officially Get Brunnstrom!

I’m usually not a big fan of highly touted players (Sidney Crybaby, please trip over a rock and hurt your ankle again), but I am really excited about getting Brunnstrom.

I didn’t want to say anything about it until they had officially reached an agreement, but they have today. They didn’t specify how much it’s for, but I imagine pretty high since they were talking about giving him top draft pick money. I think he could play well with Richards… we’ll have to see.

I just hope this doesn’t hurt our chances of Hagman coming back next season. If the Stars don’t sign him, Brett Hull is going to get a very mean message at his house from me!

Masterton Finalists Announced

One of them this year makes me laugh.

The nominees:

Jason Blake - He was diagnosed with leukemia at the beginning of the season and played 82 games while getting cancer treatments.

Fernando Pisani - He suffered from ulcerative colitis at the beginning of the regular season. I’ve read up on this, and apparently a lot of people die from it. He somehow gets better, regains all the weight he lost, and comes back to play all the Oilers’ games from December to the end of the season.

Chris Chelios - He’s old.

Thanks NHL.

Turcolicious

Wow this is absolutely the funniest thing ever; I love Razor…really. I need about 1390746246724 of those shirts..so if you’re in my way to getting a shirt this Wednesday, watch out! This just has to be re-posted for everyone’s viewing pleasure:

TURCOLICIOUS - THE LYRICS

 

Word has reached Razorland that a silly lexicological superlative I uttered during a game has “grown legs”.
It’s a jumbotron song.
It’s a ringtone. (Thanks to Jeff K)
It’s soon to be a t-shirt.
In a nutshell — it’s a marketing bonanza. (And for Marty — a way of life)
Anyhoo, I give you “Turcolicious”:

Turcolicious (To the beat of “Fergilicious”)
by Raz I Am

Four, tres, two, uno
Listen up y’all, cause this is it
The beat that I’m bangin’ is delicious.

Turcolicious definition make them shooters loco
They want some treasure so they seek their pleasures from my little five-hole.
You could see me, you can’t beat me
I ain’t easy, I ain’t breezy
I got reasons why I tease em
Shooters just come and go like seasons

Turcolicious (so delicious)
But I ain’t pernicious
And even if you was lubricious
All that open net’s fictitious
I force misses (mmmwwahhh)
That gets them scribes to talk, talk
And they be lining down the press box just to watch what I got (four, tres, two, uno)

So delicious (it’s hot, hot)
So delicious (I get them wags to talk, talk)
So delicious (them other targets wanna taste of what I got)
I’m Turcolicious (t-t-t-t-t-tasty, tasty)

Turcolicious def-
Turcolicious def-
Turcolicious def-
Turcolicious definition make them shooters crazy
They always claim they’ll beat me
Comin in to test me Marty (Hey, Marty)
I’m the T to the U, R, C, the O, O
And can’t no other goalie post a more stylish zero.

I’m Turcolicious (so larcenicious)
In OT my body stay vicious
I be up in the gym just workin on my fitness
JJ’s my witness (ooh eee)
I get yo’ boys to talk, talk
And fans be lining down the block just to watch what I got. (four, tres, two, uno)

So delicious (he’s hot, hot)
So delicious (I meet them wags and talk, talk)
So delicious (them targets wanna taste of what I got)
Turcolicious (hold, hold, hold, hold, hold up, check it out)

Maybe, maybe, maybe
If you really want to beat me
Homey get some patience
Maybe then you’ll get some space
But I’ll be hasty, hasty
I’ll be zest with zesty
I’m so tasty, tasty
I’ll make you crazy

T to the A, to the S T E Y –man, you’re tasty, T to the A to the S T E Y — man, you’re tasty
D to the E, to the L I C I O U S, to the D to the E, to the, stop it Marty

All the time I melt it down the brothas gather round always poking up and down lookin’ for my vulcan rubber (uuhh)
I just wanna say it now — I ain’t tryin to spark the drama, little pushin’, little shovin’
And I know I’m coming off just a little bit conceited and I keep on repeating how my boys are gonna make them eat it.
But I’m trying to simply tell, that I can’t be beaten like the other masked clientele
‘Cause they say he…

Turcolicious (so delicious)
But I ain’t pernicious
And even if you was lubricious
All that open net’s fictitious
I force misses (mmmwwahhh)
That gets them scribes to talk, talk
And they be lining down the press box just to watch what I got (four, tres, two, uno)

I’m Turcolicious (my glove’s delicious)
In OT my body stay vicious
I be up in the gym just workin on my fitness
JJ’s my witness (ooh eee)
I get yo’ boys to talk, talk
And fans be lining down the block just to watch what I got. (four, tres, two, uno)

So larcenicious
So larcenicious
So larcenicious
I’m Turcolicious
I’m so meracious
So larcenicious
So larcenicious

I’m Turcolicious

Game 1 and Sad Jeffy News

Game 1 is tonight guys! For all of you going to the watching party at AAC, have lots of fun for me! I’ll be watching the game while I study for my stats final… doesn’t sound nearly as much fun as being at the AAC.

In other news, Jeffy is out 6 to 8 months with a ruptured ACL, a torn MCL, and a torn meniscus. I didn’t know that much could happen to your knee in one play! I hope he gets well soon, and if he needs anyone to care for him over the summer, my mom and I are completely available

In other Lightning news, it’s rumored that Tortorella will be headed to Toronto and Barry Melrose will be taking over as coach for the Bolts… I have no idea if these rumors are true, but I hate Barry Melrose with a passion. I’d find it pretty amusing if 3 guys I really cared about weren’t involved with this disaster of a team.

GO STARS!

BELIEVE!

51:00, 19 Hits, 7 Shots,

ONE goal, and one very tired Amy!

Wow, words really can’t even come close to describing what it was like to be at the game Sunday night/Monday morning.

My parents and I got to the AAC around 6:15. I like to get there early - you will never see me walking in halfway through the first period. My mom and I went down to the ice for the pregame skate. She’s the alternate Sign Girl when Sarah isn’t there. We were on the jumbotron a few times and I flipped when Hagman just stared at me. It was some intense staring too

Before the 3rd period, a nice lady sitting a few seats down from me informed me that a bunch of the young guys were sitting 2 suites away from our seats… so I spent a good chunk of the 3rd period looking at Nisky, Connor, Barch, Neal, and Pushkarev wishing I could be in the suite next to them. I actually missed San Jose scoring their goal (so it definitely didn’t happen in my book) because I was taking pics of them. It was cute how Connor and Barch had their playoff beards going even though they haven’t been playing.

I wasn’t surprised that Mittens scored. He may not score a whole lot, but that was his 6th goal that he’s scored this season when I’ve been at a game! The Finns always seem to do well when I go… maybe they know my secret desire to get a mail-order Finnish husband!

Holy Freaking Crap! We’re in the WCF!!

WOW that game 6 was wonderful/terrifying/frustrating/exciting and any random superlative you can think of!!

And now, off to the Joe!

Discussion, opinions?

 

More to come later.

(I may not get to write much of anything until Thursday after my organic chemistry final….be patient! :)  )

Dear Stars (Round 2),

You have the chance to eliminate the Guppies again tonight. Please do so, because as much as I want to see you in person Sunday night, I don’t want you to lose 2 in a row. You win tonight, and our tickets for the second round can easily be exchanged for some in the conference finals.

Zubie, please don’t try to make any really pretty passes to Patrick Marleau tonight. His birthday is very far away, and it’s not Christmas. I am really glad to see you back, but please play better.

Loui, where did you go, my adorable little Swede? I miss seeing how happy you get when you score a goal. Please start scoring again soon.

Marty, good job so far except it kinda sucks that you’re 0-for-the-playoffs on breakaways. Please keep playing the way you are and slap Zubie if he lets another pass get away.

Brenden, you are the current Conn Smythe winner and my favorite player ever. Please keep doing everything just the way you’re doing it.

Please don’t let this game into overtime and be close. My mom’s favorite score is 4-1, and I’d love to see that because then I might be able to breathe and function like a (semi) normal human during the game.

Love,

Amy

GO STARS!!!

Otter Here for 2 More Years

The Stars have signed Otter to a 2-year contract today. I haven’t seen anything on the Stars site yet, but this was on TSN.

I’m glad to have him around for another two seasons. Hopefully they can get something worked out with Hagman ASAP.

GO STARS!!!

BELIEVE!!!
