The best way to prepare for tomorrow is a pre-hump day warm-up. I have to admit, I'm a little saddened by the lack of flashy stretching going on in Lightning prospect Pat Nagle's warm-up. Luckily, his play lately has redeemed him.
On a slightly related note- It's almost time for my local arena to be invaded by yummy barely legal college goalies. Unfortunately, I will not be witness to Connor Knapp's backbend. I've cried a little about that to be honest. I'm consoling myself with the promise of fresh... uh... talent.

Awww-some
Meet the latest object of my goalie love.
That's John Muse by the way. He's a Charlotte Checkers prospect that was sent down to my Everblades. He's also totally adorable and pretty inspiring goalie love-wise.
You could almost call him... my new MUSE!
I'm so sorry. I had to do that. It was just sitting there waiting to be said and you know you thought of it too.
One of my favorite things about him is how adorable he is. Watch this video and tell me you don't want to smoosh his face and feed him homemade apple pie. He's just so cute!
Now, if your one of those people who loves flashy goalies he's probably not your cup of tea. He's not going to drop into incredible contortions to make the save. He's was too busy setting himself up and anticipating what was going to happen so that he didn't have to.
Really, he gets my heart racing by not giving me regular heart attacks. And you know what? It's a very refreshing change of pace not to have the object of my goalie love attempting to put me into the hospital.
That's not to say he never throws himself into contortions, he does, He just doesn't do it with the regularity that forces me to keep a copy of heart attack symptoms on hand.
He's on that newfangled Twitter thing too. I find him pretty hilarious.
Did I mention he's won to NCAA championships and currently has the third best GAA in the ECHL right now? Awesome.

Cougar Time...Patrick Killeen
Love is such a fickle creature. Last night I went to the Florida Everblades vs. Wheeling Nailers game with @Swamphockey. It was supposed to be routine guest tweeting appearance and then 6'4" of deliciousness hit the ice.
Patrick Killeen's style is a little aggressive (he really doesn't like you in his crease) and he has the size to easily enforce it. He only spent one period in our end, but the connection was there (delusional). I promise.
Killeen is a rangy Pittsburgh Penguins prospect who has a gift at covering the bottom of the cage (seriously his legs go on forevvvvver).
We made googly eyes at each other (at least that's what I'm telling myself).
Pokechick (who could not attend) jokingly recommended via text, "flash him your tits." I did not want to win that badly.
While the Everblades lost 3-1, not flashing turned out best for all. Killeen is only a baby and will celebrate his 21st birthday on April 15th. *Sigh, Yes I am a dirty old woman.
No worries Everblades fans Bobby Goepfert is still #1 in our hearts and though it almost got me fired from my guest tweeting (intern my butt), I'll say it again "Bobby Goepfert is back in our end. No more fantasizing about the other goalie. #Goepfertbabiesonly"

Dishy Goalie Monday- Jaroslav Janus
Alrighty folks here we go with another DGM. As I sit down to research and write these each week I've come to realize that the interleague goalies are traveling soldiers. One such goalie is Tampa Bay prospect Jaroslav Janus.Janus has split his time this season between the AHL Norfolk Admirals and the ECHL Florida Everblades. The Slovakian cutie received his fifth AHL call up on March 18th, but was back with the Everblades for their Sunday game against Gwinnett Janus posted .92 SV% during the game and helped the Everblades win 5-3.
Now his traveling stamina is admirable, but he has some "other" talents. Janus has the ability to make me swoon during his warm-ups.
About 3 seconds after this photo was taken Janus will booty pop and my heart will skip a beat.
Janus, who speaks multiple languages sports his Slovakian heritage on the back of his helmet.
