disjointed post from a disjointed life

* Sometimes I forget that "all the NHL's Russians hang out all the time" isn't just a joke and is actually a legit thing? And then sometimes I'm looking for old articles to work out a timeline for something and run across Dadonov's plans for Raleigh being "hang out with Ovechkin." Oh, Dads. I hope Ovie treated him right.

* Marshy is posting tons of pictures of Minny and Kovi lately and my god, puppies. Post hair cut. Riding shotgun. With a shoe. Waking up early and making me want to DIE of cute. If you're only following one member of the Rampage other than Keith Seabrook and Markstrom, he's the one to be following, because puppies.

* In honor of the Memorial Cup, Jonathan Racine riding Jonathan Huberdeau like a bull. Baby Panthers! Especially Huberdeau! He kept his elbows to himself last night and actually scored a goal and led his team to victory. How interesting that that's how it works!

* "That was Coyote hockey. When you have nothing to lose, you just throw it all out there and see what happens." Ray Whitney! <3 I have no hope, but it was nice to see they'd actually won one when I woke up yesterday, since as I was falling asleep on Sunday night while watching the game, I apparently hallucinated a Kings goal. NOPE. :D NOTHING FOR YOU, AWFUL TEAM THAT LOVES MIKE RICHARDS.

* The race begins TOMORROW. How exciting. My mother gets here on Thursday! And then on Saturday, we have lunch with Sarah post-race and then go to London for a few days and I will finally be able to think of things that aren't the race. Like my dissertation. Sigh.

Why I love the San Antonio Rampage: Puppy Edition

Last night, the Rampage were brought low by a devastating blow from OKC. But all is not lost, because now I get to follow Wacey livetweeting his suing the pants off of his old KHL team and enjoy the wonder of the rest of the Rampage tweeters, who will have even more free time. Also, the Swedish national team still has a goalie slot and they could call Markstrom up, though they might be waiting on tonight's NYR game for maximum unfairness to the other countries. #1 is still better than #2, but talk to me again in 2014.

Now, I'm more of a cat person myself (Jilly and I will be reunited in three months, three weeks, and three days, not that I'm keeping track), but I have to say, the best part of the Rampage twitters is that, when they're not posting pictures of the food Keith Seabrook cooks them when he's in town or Colby Robak's ass, they're posting pictures of their puppies and the puppies they rescued from off the streets because Tyson Strachan is just that amazing.

here be puppies. )

Okay, my lazy Saturday morning is over, time for work. Maybe. If A ever crawls out of her sickbed for the dissertation party she promised me.
