Why, Peter? Why?
Went to see my Flyers lose to the Penguins last night. It was brutal so we left before the third period got underway.
Thoughts: I don't think the Flyers are playing that poorly. Honestly. They're working hard - it just seems like they can't catch one single break. Malkin is really good. So is Crosby - I'm not going to join the bitter "Crosby Sucks" camp. Hat tricks don't come by accident. I still can't figure out how Forsberg and Gagne collided the way they did. The way it led to a short-handed, unassisted goal by the Pens just plain hurt.
Took some pictures of warm-ups with my old camera.
Stretch!
Mike Richards works hard on every shift - no matter how poorly the game is going. I appreciate that.
He's a perpetual motion machine during warm-ups.
During the game, I watched a truly disgusting display going on in the row infront of me. Guys in the their 20's hitting on two girls - WHOSE MOM WAS SITTING NEXT TO THEM. The girls, in my estimation, were like 16 or 17 years old. There was this exchange:
Guy: How old do you think I am? (Um, CREEPSHOW!)
Girl: I don't know, like 28? 29?
Guy: I'm 22. Thanks.
In the girl's defense, the dude had a receeding hairline that I've seen very few 22 year old's sport.
I've got a truly stellar day of report building to do. I haven't decided if I'd accomplish more of it at home or at the office. Maybe if I hadn't shot my mouth off by saying that I could get it done by Monday, I wouldn't have to work on it at all today. Then I could just lay around like a slug and watch football all day. You know, like a normal person.
Okay, enough slacking. I need to get some lunch, get some gasoline in the car and buckle down with this stupid report.
From Philly.com yesterday (I'll dig up the actual article link when I get home from work)...
TV spot.
In the spot, he is in bed dressed in full hockey gear with an unattractive older woman. The husband walks in and asks Forsberg why he is in his bed. Forsberg doesn't answer. The wife says they are watching hockey. She then tells Forsberg to kill the light. He swings his stick and smashes the bedroom lamp.
"We went through five to six lamps," Forsberg said yesterday. "It wasn't because of me. It was the other people [in the spot]. I got 'em. I didn't miss the lamp. I can hit a lamp at least." Which is more than most of the Flyers can say about their shooting accuracy.

Come on, now. Was it really necessary to point out that she was 'unattractive'? The womans looks had nothing to do with the commercial. I'd say that she's probably crying over this comment, but she got to lay in bed with Peter Forsberg all day - she has no reason to cry ever again.
How come no one asked me to play the part of the guy's wife in the bed? I would have gladly PAID to play the role.
