Sens at Land’s End

Flyers 3, Senators 1. Another day, another loss for the stinky team. What can you do? I thought they played a bit better but nothing is going their way at the moment. Two of Philadelphia’s three goals came off unlucky bounces. The normally extremely good-natured Jason Spezza was kicked out of the game, and he seemed quite pissed off about it. There was one bright spot: Mike Fisher beat up Steve Downie. Downie has had that coming for a very, very long time, so it was good to see. The highlights showed Dean McAmmond — Downie’s first victim — on the bench saying “Atta boy, Fish!” Which is pretty much what I said.

I went out after class and finished buying my hockey ensemble, except I didn’t get a stick. I tried it all on and I must say that me in full hockey gear is just about the most ridiculous thing ever the most awe-inspiring and intimidating vision of greatness you could ever hope to see. I would post a picture of myself but I can’t take one with the gloves on and there’s no one around to ask to take one for me, so here is a picture of the equipment instead:

Yes, that is an old Montreal jersey, but I swear I’ll be thinking of that other team the whole time.
