Kaleta for Hart?!?

Dudes. Guess who is tied for lead in Short-handed goals? Guess who has three goals in the last two games? Guess who is ridiculously fucking awesome and has the best goal celebration ever because (to horribly paraphrase the Buffalo News quote) he "treats every one like it might be his last"?


YEAH. THIS GUY.

Tonight the following exchange happened during the game:

Me: Wow, MacArthur just took the lead for Sabres goal scoring!
Dad: Yeah? Who's in the top three?
Me: MacArtuhur, Vanek, and...Kaleta!
Dad: *chokes on beer and then dies laughing*

IT IS SO CLOSE TO TRUE, GUYS.

Kaleta seems to be stepping up where Roy is sucking? I'm not the biggest Roy fan in the world. I like him, and he contributes most of the time, but this has not been his best season. And MAN does Pominville want one. He had so many fantastic chances tonight and I really hope he cashes in one one soon!, p

Fail

So tonight I was supposed to be in DC. Actually, I was supposed to drive to Pittsburgh and then to DC yesterday afternoon. Only this little thing called a huge fucking snowstorm came up and screwed me over. My cousin went to the Caps game tonight with the tickets he got for the two of us. Thanks snow. Real classy. Though, I didn't die, even though I tried to make the drive. So I guess that's awesome?

But enough about me, Let's talk about the Buffalo showdown tonight. The paper had this fantastic article about how Patrick Kane and Tim Kennedy used to be in the same street hockey league in South Buffalo. Kaner looked up to Kennedy and was one of the first people to text him to congratulate him on his first NHL goal. GUYS. This is precious to me. Let's throw Kaleta in the mix and have one big Buffalo hugpile. Seriously. This is a great town for kids to grow up playing hockey in, and it makes me overjoyed to think that Kane used to root for Campbell and now plays alongside him.

Kane was the 3rd star tonight, but the Sabres still managed to pull through with a win. Couldn't have happened better for me. It reminds me of the game I was at a few years back where I hoped for a Kane goal and a Sabres win and got it.


Patrick Kane in his natural environment. *giggle*
