I Coulda Bin a Contenda

Here are the teams who are definitely in the playoffs and the teams that might make an appearance. With a few days left until the regular season ends this race is getting tight!

Eastern Conference:
Boston
Washington
New Jersey
Carolina

The ladies in waiting: currently in a playoff spot but a spot not yet secured
Philadelphia
Pittsburgh
Montreal
New York Rangers

Western Conference:
San Jose
Detroit
Calgary
Chicago
Vancouver

The ladies in waiting:
currently in a playoff spot but a spot not yet secured
Columbus
Anaheim
St. Louis

Usually I'd say that the East is pretty much set but Florida wants that playoff run, so really who knows. And the West? We'll its always been a tight race over there, every game really matters, one loss and youse out, son!

But all I really want out of the playoffs is some Alexander Ovechkin and Rick Nash, at this point does anyone else really matter? Ok maybe for some people but since Rick Nash is a virgin...a playoff virgin that is ;) it will be exciting to see him make his debut and Ovie? I hope he can bring the caps closer than last year, 2nd round? 3rd round, perhaps? That would seriously make my life if the caps make it to the finals. I wanted it last year and I want it again this year.

A girl can dream, can't she?

So what's it doing for him?

We know that Dion's philandering has gotten him a video game cover but what of Mike Comrie? What's boinking Lizzie McGuire got him? Sure he's gotten floor tickets to an LA Lakers game (boo!!!! go Celtics !!!!!!!!!) but in terms of his career, of endorsement deals, of being one of the faces of hockey????? What is Mike Comrie getting out of this?

NADA, that's what!

I guess its entirely possible that, he loves ~*Hil*~ for ~*Hil*~, and that this relationship is completely selfless and giving, etc. etc. etc. But unfortunately the tooth fair doesn't exist, we don't go to care bare land when we die AND the good guys rarely win. Do not be fooled people, this is the era of who you date or how much you're photographed can help further your career. Their relationship is on public display, they want us to watch, to fantasize about weddings and babies, so that we'll buy their albums, their clothing lines, and so the calls keeping coming from various sponsors/designers/organizers.

9 times out of 10 when you see candids of a celeb, they or their people have called various agencies to catch them going ~*grocery shopping*~ or ~*buying lattes*~ or ~*walking their dog(s)*~. Nothing is an accident when it comes to Hollywood, and Mike and Hilary are no different. BUT unfortunately for Michael it seems that Gatorade/RBK/Nike-Bauer/Under Armour hell even the NHL itself doesn't give a damn that Mike Comrie is boinking the Duff.

Why?

Sorry Mike! You'll never get to stand beside Peyton Manning, EAT YOUR HEART OUT!!!

Probably because Mike had his shot for NHL stardom and fucked it up, probably in Edmonton, where he allegedly fucked someone's wife, but that's never been confirmed so who knows, right? *cough* Plus he's never developed into a standout player, sure on the New York Islanders he's the 2nd best player but guys its the New York Islanders, my delinquent little brother, the Toronto Maple Leafs, placed better than them! I'm pretty sure I'd be a star player on the NYI. When 2010 comes DO NOT be surprised when Steve Yzerman DOES NOT call Mike Comrie to be a part of Team Canada. I mean why would you want Comrie when you can have Crosby, Nash, Heatley, Richards, Staals (all 4), Spezza, Lecavalier, Doan, Keith, Green, Savard, St.Louis...do I need to go on?

But don't you fret, all you Mike + Hilary lovers, he'll never get rid of the Duff even if its doing nothing for his career, I mean could Mike do better than Hilary Duff??? Methinks not!!!! She'll definitely be doing the dumping! Which I hopes she does soon because she deserves so much better!

RE: Pens fans everywhere saying they'll win The Cup next year

There's nothing I'd like to see more than to see my boys win BUT to make it all the way to the finals, loose and then come back to win the cup next year -- let's just say this isn't the Montreal Canadiens of the 1930s/1940s. I mean just look at the Ottawa Senators, where are they now? They don't call it the hardest title to win in sports for nothing. Getting to the finals is a feat in and of itself

And according to hockey analysts everywhere this current Penguins hockey roster will not remain intact for the next season. Ray Shero's got to work some black magic to keep his team red hot. Crosby and Malkin can only do so much! ALSO whispers around the league are saying that Malkin's peacing out of Pittsburgh once his contract his up next year. Which from Malkin's standpoint makes complete sense. He'll never make as much as or more money than husband no. 6; he'll never be the star of the Penguins, he'll always be the Robin to Crosby's Batman; always in the shadow, never in the spotlight!

Now before y'all go nutz, just think about it logically:

why stay on a team where you'll always be second fiddle? When Malkin's contract is up, he'll have is pick of any team in the league (well except for Washington). For his career? for the money? for the endorsement deals? Listen people the age of franchise loyalty is not dead per se BUT there's no way it can withstand the new age of ridiculous amounts of money and Gatorade commercials. This is a new generation, this is the new NHL. But having said that I think Sidney Crosby will stay in Pittsburgh for his entire career

Perfection vs Beauty and the Beast

Last night was the MET Costume Institute Gala, its pretty much a useless event if you're a regular person BUT if you're in the fashion industry or a ~*celebrity*~ its a magical night of high fashion and trying to kiss ass all the way to your very own Vogue cover. So who showed up?

Gisele and Tom:


UGH! The most perfect of perfect couples. He's ridiculously hot, she's ridiculously hot. Imagine their sex tape, EPIC!!!! They are made for each other and I love it! I love how you couldn't come up with a more perfect couple if you tried: an NFL ~*star*~ quarterback AND the highest paid supermodel, UGH PERFECTION!!!!!!!! Don't they look amazing together? Her bod is out of this world, wouldn't you agree? Love them together, I hope they get married, then all my dreams for them will come true.

and then Mike and Hilary showed up:



Hilary's a very pretty girl. She's been pretty savvy with her career, steering away from photographic evidence of scandal and drugs, made a fortune at a very young age but has remained very grounded and dedicated to her fans. But Hilary's downfall is that she has shitty taste in men. First she dated Aaron Cater...Aaron Carter, guys!!!!!!!! Then she moved on to douche bag Joel Madden who by all accounts is responsible for her new ~*sound*~. And now its Mike 'douche bag home wrecking' Comrie. Let's get this straight, none, I repeat NONE of these guys deserve/deserved Hilary. Where she's at and where they're all at its like entirely different leagues.

Comrie's a douche! He's got it all over his face. Left Edmonton because he slept with one of his fellow team mates wives (very classy), started dating Elisha Cuthbert while in Ottawa (take note Dion!). Ottawa eventually got rid of him because he never developed into the player that everyone thought he would be. I don't understand why she goes for the douche bags! I mean look at her, gorgeous girl and look at Comrie...do you find him attractive? Do you find that attractive??? Damn, girl if you weren't going for looks couldn't you have at least gone on talent???? Comrie's past his prime; probably signed that deal with the Islanders because no one else was knocking on his door.

*Oh Hilary, if it weren't for your poor choice in men, I'd totally love you but alas it was not meant to be





*it may seem unfair to not like a person based on who they date BUT Hilary is selling her relationship to us. How else would the paparazzi always find them during their tender moments? Why else would she walk the red carpet with him, when he could have easily gone through the back entrance? Why else would she openly talk about him and their relationship to the media? Why else would she sit front row at his hockey games, when all other hockey wives/gfs sit in the box way at the top? Hilary's no Christian Bale or Gwenyth Paltrow or Rachel McAdams who very rarely talk about their personal life. She's selling it guys: Mike & Hilary 4eva!! but I'm not buying!

Waxin' Idiotic

So I was just thinking today about the different teams playing in the playoffs and who would probably loose the first round *cough* Boston *cough*, then I started thinking about all the superstars playing in the playoffs (ie Peter Forsberg), then I started thinking about who I'd like to make the Stanely Cup finals, the East vs West Game. Now clearly you would assume either Pittsburgh or Ottawa right? Because both teams I hold close to my heart, right? Actually I don't want either team to make the finals...I mean I'd totally be stoked if they did make it to game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals but I really, really, really, want Washington to make it!!!
Why? Two words: Alexander.Ovechkin.


I know, I know, I'm like the only Canadian that doesn't want Crosby to win the cup, and it kind contradicts all my sarcasm, and all my insane posts about how he's my fifth husband etc. etc. but admit it, if Crosby won the cup, it would be boring, expected; remember when he scored on Ryan Miller in the Winter Classic game, I was TOOOOOOOOTALLY stoked but after my 5 minutes of joy passed I was like "So Sidney Corosby scored again and won the game...oh..."

Its not shocking or exciting when Crosby does something great because: a)Of COURSE he could accomplish all these things, he's THAT good; and b)he's kind of boring, like no personality at all! He's all screaming and jumping up and down on the ice, hugging it out with his teammates but then when interviewed, he reverts back into robot mode...BORING!!!!!


Alexander Ovechkin is anything but boring. He's electric on the ice and electric off the ice. Ovechkin's more up to the task of being a superstar than Crosby is. Homeboy can hardily speak English and yet he gives the best pre/post-game interviews LIKE EVER! Plus Ovechkin is a one man team, he scores, he assists, he checks, he fights, he deeks, he heals the sick, and he brings back people from the dead. I know its the law that if you love Crosby then you HAVE to hate Ovechkin but srsly watch a Caps game, watch Ovechkin, have you seen anyone move like him, he's fucking amazing!!! This season, I repeat THIS SEASON, Ovechkin is ahead of Crosby by like miles.


I know, what some will probably say, that Pittsburgh is one of the top teams in the league and yea I totally agree, they're amazing BUT Washington made the playoffs because of one man: Ovechkin. The question is can he take them all they way? If they win the cup, it will be the ultimate Cinderella story!!!!

I think Crosby an amazing player and I admire his dedication and what he brings to the game but he just doesn't have that 'X' factor that Ovechkin has, ya know? And I just think it would be an awesome shake up if the 'Little Engine That Could' AKA Washington, went all the way, wouldn't that just totally blow your mind??????


PS He was Pierre McGuire's Monster Player of the Year! Sidney didn't even make the All-Monster team, I'm just saying...
