Updates...

So... It's been a while since I've written anything here. Most of my writing lately has been more focused on my faith.

But I'll rejoin the blogosphere here and share some words.

Things to mention:

The Devils took out my Flyers AND my Rangers! It was painful. Oh so very painful.

I have no acceptable words about Raffi Torres. I have no idea why he's even still in the league. With the Seabs hit last postseason and the Hossa hit this postseason.... Torres what are you doing with your life? Looks like he has targets. (Which brings to mind the Saints drama.)

Tebow is now a Jet and he's excited about it.

Lidstrom. Nothing but tears. And he's going back to Sweden with his family. Ship a son back to us when the time is right, bro. Come back for the alumni Winter Classic game. Please.

Tim Thomas is taking a year off. According to his Facebook statement, he was to refocus himself on "friends, family, and faith." I'm not upset with him. He's accomplished a lot. Maybe the other team will have a chance in the next ASG.

Hm. Maybe I'll have more news after the NHL Awards.

Au revoir Nicklas and Tim!

Skills Competition 2012 NHL All-Star

The announcements for who is participating in what skills event.

It will be interesting to see what Kane does in the breakaway challenge! As well as Couturier.

Letang is going to be skating backwards? I wonder how he feels about that, haha.

Giroux is going to be doing the stick handling during the Relay Race. Looking forward to it.

I think I'm looking forward to the Elmination Shootout the most. Just because there's so many players I love getting involved in that.

But I know I'll enjoy the whole weekend!

All-Star 2012: Hartnell for Toews

So Tazer isn't going to be able to make it to the ASG due to injury.

Sadness.

But the sadness is alleviated in part by the selection of Flyers forward Scott Hartnell!

CONGRATS SCOTT HARTNELL.

Looking forward to a #hartnelldown at the ASG.

2012 Tim Horton's All-Star Roster!

THE ROSTER WAS ANNOUNCED TODAY!

Peeps I'm proud of:

• Timmy Thomas. His good-natured approach to everything outside the sport always puts a smile on my face.
• Claude Giroux. This man has quickly become one of my favorite players on and off the ice. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROUX!
• Marian Gaborik. Just love.
• Marian Hossa. More love.
• Patrick Kane. He's so cheerfully competitive that it brings a smile to my face.
• Jonny Toews. What's not to love about my farm-boy?! 
• Kimmo Timonen. I don't think he's given the attention he deserves. He's such a solid force for the Flyers.
• Dan Girardi. Boy is awesome. 
• Henrik Lundqvist. KING.
• Jimmy Howard. Just cause I like the Wings and he does them good.
• Sean Couturier. BB FLYER
• Matt Read. ANOTHER BB FLYER.

The link to the roster.

I give a warm CONGRATS to all the All-Stars though. Looking forward to the competitions and the game!

Who are your favorites?
