Date with the Devils

Spilling my margarita at the very beginning of the first period should have been the sign...this was gonna be a bad night. In the game I was watching, our guys got abused all night without penalties being called against the New Jersey Devils. Apparently in the game the officials saw, the Kings deserved a slew of penalties , 3 of which resulted in power play goals for the Devils and a final 5-1 loss by the Kings. Not much else we can do but write this one off and focus on the next game vs the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday.

One humorous moment of the night was the return of the "Marry Me Doughty" girl. She was displaying this exact sign Thursday during the warm-up skate as well. It was funny watching the other guys poke at him to make sure he saw it! All the little girls love Drew!



I feel like I've been neglecting Sully a little lately, so I thought he deserved to be the video of the night. He had a team-high 6 shots on goal, and even though he didn't score, he made a great effort. Enjoy!



As for the opposing team Hottie of the Night, all the Devils skate with their helmets on, so it was hard to tell from a distance who was worthy. But the dream team of Zach Parise (#9) and Patrik Elias (#26) (pictured below) isn't a bad way to start. They're both tied for the league lead in goals right now.



And in honor of Nadine, who believes short guys should get the love, we have right winger Brian Gionta of Rochester, NY, who at 5' 7" is one of the shortest hockey players I've ever seen. He's in the center of the three player grouping below, and you can tell he's at least 6" shorter than the guy on his right!



And finally, Drew maintains his 3-2 lead in the Lucky Jersey contest...no win for Sully tonight. Hopefully next time....
