Love at First Sight

Sometimes a girl just knows....

Meet #1 Semyon Varlamov of the Washington Capitals and my current crush of the week.

There is no experience better than walking into a rink right before warmups. You get hit with the uniquely hockey smell, you see the empty seats waiting for the fans to arrive, and the kids crowding the glass, waiting for the first skate to touch the ice for warmups.

The best part is when the players skate out and you have that moment. You know the one I'm talking about. The one where you see a player and you just know... He is going to be your favourite.

Now, everyone has their own reasons for falling in love. This was mine....

The Cure for a Bad Day

So, work was bat shit crazy, my NHL teams have been slumping, my ECHL team was swept in their series with the fourth worst team in the division, and my Visa bill is due Monday.

Calling this week crappy is a huge understatement.

Luckily, I know what can be done to make everything better...










That's Lightning prospect Jaroslav Janus by the way. He's pretty spectacular right? It gets better...





Yup. He's all kinds of awesome. How can you be sad when he's so... delightful?

Veteran's Day

Pokechick here, and thanks to a submission from @nickyrobinson, we're going to pay tribute to NHL veteran Martin Brodeur.

Old school Marty looks quite fierce. I wonder how far those legs will reach...

As you know, we are very sensitive to avoiding any sort of underage goalie porn, if anyone has any clue what year this was taken - let us know in the comments.

Here's another one of good ol' Marty from last season's Devils vs. Panthers match-up. Looks like those hips aren't showing any signs of rust (wish we could say the same about his save percentage and the rest of the Devils roster).
