Write if you're bored...

This week has been rather long and tiresome and Friday has finally arrived. Wednesday was interesting though. Not too many of us showed up for hockey, so we had 3-on-3 until 2 more showed to alternate. My feet keep cramping though even after taking the time to warm up and stretch. (Same problem as when I snowboard). I'll try using my other shoes next week and see if that works any better. After, on my way to the metro, I discovered Wednesday night is apparently Cat Night in St-Henri. The streets were full of cats! I tried making friends with some but it didn't work too well. Maybe my giant bag and stick looked scary...

On the Habs front:
Carey Price was still down with the flu, so Rollie called in Montreal Stars/Team Canada golden goalie, Kim St. Pierre to help out in practice. She's currently the envie of every girl in town who wanted to play hockey with the Habs but well couldn't, myself included. Nice of them to let her play. Doubt she'll get the call Saturday vs the Ducks though. Stars play that night anyway.

And because of the flu, Halak will most likely start that game. Higgins also looks to be ready. At least he hopes so. The poor guy seems so frustrated with his situation and the trade talk garbage, but can't do anything about it because he hasn't been allowed to play yet. I just want to say if you think Higgins, Halak, a Kostitsyn, McD and draft pick are going to Minny for Gaborik, then there's something wrong with you...

Good news on the grapevine though: Andrei Kostitsyn might be back on practice ice tomorrow. He won't play Saturday though, but this is a good sign. The Kostitsyn are tough little buggers. (Well, ok, actually Andrei isn't so little).

Meanwhile, as the dollar dives and an angry online divorcee kills her virtual husband...
- Yea, the Flyers seem doomed no matter who is in nets. A 6-7 loss to the Sharks in a shootout while Nabby's game save percentage is in the .700s and JR gets the winner on his former team.
- Leafs beat the Bruins 4-2. And Lucic checked Van Ryn so hard the glass broke and injured 4 fans.
- Leafs lost to the Ducks just before that in a shootout where Wilson thought it would help Tosky's crappy play at shootouts by putting in Cujo. BUZZER: WRONG!
- Jarome gets a hat trick! Flames beat the Preds 5-3 after being down 2 goals by following the Habs method of play: 3rd period bonanza!
- Tellqvist reminds Gretzky he's still there, Yotes beat the Caps late 2-1. Theodore?
- Backup Anderson turned away 41 bloody shots and makes the Senators drool for an actual goalie, Florida beats them 3-1 which sounds exactly like Monday's game. Hartsburg continues to yell at his team.
- Mickey Ribs wakes up, preys on the weak, gets 5 points. Stars beat the Islanders 5-3 after being shutout 5-0 in New Jersey just before. Marty needs to pull himself together...
