Oh jeez, so last night I was working out and watching the Rangers/ Maple Leafs game ahhh ouch! I mean we are talking 7-0.
IT’S TIME TO SCORE; this one may be a little painful sorry these are last nights scores.

Something I noticed in the New York/ Toronto game were the penalties, there were a ton of them! It was pretty awesome towards the end I am pretty sure two players from the Maple Leafs were given 10 minutes for game misconduct, and because it was so late in the game they just walked into the locker room.
1st Period Penalties:
Boarding
Delay of Game
Interference
Roughing
2nd Period Penalties:
Fighting (Luke Schenn Toronto)
Fighting (Dale Weise New York)
Charging
3rd Period Penalties (here it gets messy):
Hooking
Fighting (Dion Phaneuf Toronto)
Misconduct (Dion Phaneuf Toronto)
Misconduct (Kris Newberry New York)
Fighting (Kris Newberry New York)
Roughing (Ryan McDonagh New York)
Roughing (Colby Armstrong Toronto)
Slashing Major (Colton Orr Toronto)
Game Misconduct (Colton Orr Toronto)
Well it seems as though someone (cough cough Toronto cough cough) got a little sassy during the 3rd period. I am pretty sure I would to, no see if I were in the NHL I would play one game get mad and being pushed and do one of a few things:
a) a.) Run away and cry
b) b.) Throw down the gloves attempt a fight then run away and cry
c) c.) Mouth off thrown down the gloves attempt a fight then run away and cry
d) d.) Take my stick wait for a face off and give a SERIOUS nut jerker (and run like hell, unless its Sidney Crosby because I am pretty sure he would lay on the ice for about 4 minutes giving me a chance to casually walk away.)
So I am pretty sure all of those options either land me in the box, I wonder how many minutes a nut tap gets? Or being a little bitch? (*Note to self: Ask Crosby) I kid, I kid Syd, there is one thing you cannot deny the 23 year old from Halifax, Nova Scotia (which is in Canada, for those of you who didn’t know, Archie) has talent.

So as I am sure you all know by know I am a huge caps fan. I am not sure it Neuvirth is faking the injury after being switched out after last night, or if he actually is (lower-body) if he is I am wishing him a speedy recovery…kind of. With Neuvy injured we were left with Varly so the Caps pulled up Braden Holtby (Goalie for the AHL team Hersey Bear) who is an adorable mix of Daniel Radcliffe and Robert Pattinson.

So lets get to know him (this website is AWESOME! Especially for some of my favorite AHL and rookie players: NHL Entry Draft 2008)
· Braden was born in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan (which is a province in Canada yes I just had to look that up), on September 16, 1989 making him 21 (a little less than a month younger than me, COUGAR TIME!)
· His home is in Marshall, Saskatchewan (for all you stalkeratzzi)
· He likes to think he patterns his game after Marc-Andre Fleury
· He also say that if he could invited any three people to dinner he would invite Marc-Andre Fleury (Goalie for the Pittsburg Penguins), Sidney Crosby (Captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins) and Taylor Swift, he just obviously hasn’t met me yet.
· This one is awesome im going to have to take this word for word:
o “His most embarrassing hockey moment was his first WHL game in Red Deer – "right before the national anthem a guy yells out the goalie's name and the whole crowd yells 'sucks' after. I went out to the hash marks and tripped and fell right as the crowd was yelling it out". (NHL 2008 Entry Draft Featured Player: Braden Holtby)
· If hockey didn’t work out for him he would like to be playing baseball.
· If he could be anyone in a movie it would be Jason Bourne.
· Holtby’s favorite team is Colorado Avalanche
· His favorite player is no other than of course Marc-Andre Fleury, goalie of the Pittsburgh Penguins.His favorite shootout move (which is when a game is tied or no score and goes into a five minute overtime and there is still no score when the five minutes are up, the teams pick three players to go one on one with the goalie after each turn if (each team gets one shot on the opposing goalie, then the turn is over) one player scores and the other doesn’t then that team wins, if both teams score the go on to another round, they also will go onto another round if neither team scores. Essentially it goes on until one player scores when the other doesn’t.) So Holtby’s favorite shootout movie is the poke check (when a player uses the blade of his stick to push the puck off of an opponents blade)
