Atlanta Thrashers and New Jersey Devils. I'm not really sure what to say about this one. But it's back on MSG+ so Doc and Chico are announcing! Yay! Let's go Devils! (And Doc and Chico! Yay!)
7:36 - Doc and Chico review goals from Atlanta's Brian Little and Ilya Kovalchuk. Baby Goalie has his work cut out for him.
7:39 - Kevin Weekes is tonight's goalie. My jaw actually dropped. hockey gods, I beg of you, let Weeksie do a good job! Kari Lehtonen is in net for the Thrashers. Chico calls him a 'terrific goalie'.
7:41 - And we're off. Puck is dropped for center John Madden with wingers Brian Rolston and David 'Clarky' Clarkson. Penalty right off the second faceoff.
7:42 - Woo!! Penalty on a Thrasher! Getting things started early. Thank you hockey gods!
7:44 - Little Gionta takes a shot that's blocked by Lehtonen. Rolston takes a shot that hits the glass. Rebound to Dainius Zubrus. Passes to Gionta who takes a shot and hits the glass. Aim at the net!! You can't score a goal if you're simply cracking glass.
7:46 - Kovalchuk is scaring me. Clarkson hits a Thrasher. I secretly wish it was Kovalchuk. Maybe he'll pull his goal-scoring muscle.
7:47 - Jaaaaaaamieeeeee Lanngeennbrunnnerrr!! GOAL!! (Actually, they may give it to Travis Zajac which I think is bull...but still, good offensive play for the men in red, white and black!!)
7:48 - Goal given to Travis Zajac. It's okay, Awesomebrunner. We still love you.
7:49 - Dainus Zubrus is sitting in the penalty box for something. Oh, elbowing. Silly, Zubrus.
7:50 - They're showing Kovalchuk...jeez. He looks like he wants to wreck havoc on Weeksie.
7:52 - Too much shooting at Weeksie!! Move the puck out!
7:52 - Mike Rupp to the box for goalie interference. DAG NABBIT! This is an awful lot of penalties so early in the game. I think goalie interference is a stupid penalty. These goalies wear so much padding it's unreal. You could hit them with a tank and they'd recover fine (unless your Martin Brodeur, that is.) I don't think that bumping into a goalie is really going to harm them.
7:54 - They show Mike Rupp's penalty. Boo! Epic fail on the referee's part! That was a terrible call. A Thrasher hit him and knocked his feet out from under him and Rupp slid into the goalie. Lots of shots at Weeksie right now. I'm getting nervous.
7:56 - "Very good face off win to Langenbrunner," according to Chico.
7:57 - YAY! JOHNMADDENYAY! Goal by Mad Dog! I LOVE SHORTHANDED GOALS (the blog and the scoring!)
8:01 - YAY! YAY! YAY! DAVID CLARKSON!! I never doubted you, number 23! <3<3hearts<33hearts<3<3clarkyhearts<3
8:02 - Thrashers penalty! The hockey gods are really helping us right now.
8:03 - Jamie Awesombrunner back checks and pushes away a Thrasher who is on the break.
8:05 - Shot of Brent Sutter looking pissed off. OMG. We are in an away-arena winning 3-0 in the first period and we are on a power play! What is to be angry at Brent?!
8:12 - Sorry for no updates. A. Nothing's happening and B. I was munching on a snack. Winning makes me hungry.
8:13 - FIGHT!! BRENDAN SHANAHAN! Right hook, right hook, right hook, right hook! Shanahan is owning this guy so bad. They cut to the Devil's bench where Clarky is laughing, Jamie looks confused and the other Devils cheer. Shanny didn't initiate the fight, by the way. The Thrasher almost begged for it.
8:15 - Final minute of play in the first period. Weeksie is holding strong.
8:17 - Brent Sutter is screaming at the referee over something. Now Mike Rupp is in the box again. That's a hat trick of penalties for Mr. Rupp in this first period. Slow your roll, Mike.
8:19 - 1st period is over. 3-0, Devils. Wowza, Weeksie kept it together long enough to finish 20 full minutes of play. This is good news. Nay, this is great news (yes, 'nay'. I said it). Maybe Weeksie will play some more games and give Baby Clemmenson a break.
8:22 - Kevin Weeksie winks at the camera and then Jamie Awesomebrunner does some odd little dance. Spazzenbrunner.
8:37 -2nd period is on. And I am eating a fortune cookie. "Clear your mental, emotional and psychic space and you'll see." Thank you, Confucius. Will that give Weeksie the shutout?
8:39 - I guess no. Colby Armstrong scores for Atlanta.
8:41 - New Jersey on the power play. Confucius and the hockey gods are appeased.
8:42 - ZAACH PARRIISSEEE! It is 4-1!
8:46 - Apparently Andy Greene is from the University of Miami.
8:49 - We're on the penalty kill. Paul Martin in for cross-checking.
8:51 - ZOMG! SHORTHANDED GOAL by Brian Gionta!! GO, GIO, GO! GO, GIO, GO! Goalie change for Atlanta.
8:59 - Devils power play!
9:02 - Jamie Squashedenbrunner gets SLAMMED.
9:03 - I think we're just playing keep-away for the next 3 minutes of the period.
9:05 - Colin White will not be returning to the game? Steve Cangelosi just made an announcment saying that Colin White is finished with this evening's game and will not be back for tonight. No reason has been given. That's strange.
9:07 - Someone hit someone. You couldn't see it but it was loud and made the glass shake. Coolness.
9:09 - I love when they show the Devils bench. Shanny looks serious and tired. Parise and Travis Zajac are laughing at something and Clarky looks like he wants to fight someone.
9:11 - 2nd period is over! Weeksie is doing awesome tonight. He's making us proud. Intermission time!! Be back soon.
9:30 - Aaandd we're off. Again.
9:31 - Jamie fires one that goes wide. I really hope Jamie scores so he can keep the streak going!!
9:32 - "Zajac up the wing, big blast!" No 2nd goal for Trav tonight.
9:34 - Bobby Holik draws a penalty. WHAT INTERFERENCE?! It was just a small crosscheck to the Atlanta goalie's back...a small one!
9:36 - Boarding penalty BETTER have been called on that! Zajac just ate some major boards right there as a Thrasher crunched him up from behind. 4 on 4 for 59 seconds.
9:39 - Bobby Holik serves a too-many-men penalty. 4 on 4 continues.
9:42 - Just keep feeding Weeksie pucks, Thrashers. It will only make him stronger!!
9:43 - A little bit of a scrap between Holik (I think) and a Thrasher but you couldn't see it with the camera angle.
9:48 - A little scrap between Zajac, Langenbrunner, Parise and a Thrasher who threw a glove punch to Zachy boy's jaw. Right-hookenbrunner had a chance to fight but I guess he decided not to?
9:56 - Not much too report. Delayed penalty coming on the Devils. Bryce Salvador gets called for tripping. I didn't really see an intentional trip but it's one of those things the refs just have to call.
10:00 - 2:41 left in the game! I really wish Langs would score.
10:01 - A Thrasher in the box for tripping Mike Mottau.
10:04 - WE WIN! WE WIN! WEEKSIE ROCKS. No goal for Langs but it doesn't matter; he'll start a new streak eventually.
Now that was a good game. There were some awesome saves by Mr. Kevin Weekes who finally put down his PSP and crossword puzzles on the the bench (I was thinking of sending him a Rubix Cube...a good time passer) and picked up a blocker. Hey, I think Baby Goalie needs some time off and if Weeksie keeps playing like this, I think we'll be okay.
Tomorrow we're playing the LA Kings.
That's easy.
Let's go Devils.
(Also, I'm going to try to find out what happened to Colin White!)
