And the winner is...
Mar. 19th, 2010 12:34 pmIcon #3! As you can see. By 1 vote. I was kind of leaning toward #2 myself, so I suppose if I'd voted then it would've still been a tie. But, dammit, that's why I put it to a vote.
Thanks guys, for humoring me in my ridiculous indecisiveness!
In other hockey-related news (and for the 500th time in the 3rd social media venue), the boys lost the game vs STL last night. BUT! I GOT JD'S AUTOGRAPH AND HE SPOKE TO ME!
He was sitting in the press box between the 400s and 300s, and I went and leaned over the railing and passed him my jersey and asked him to sign it. AGAIN, I COULD NOT THINK TO SAY ANYTHING LIKE "We miss you here, JD!" -- which I'm sure he would've appreciated, dammit. WHY DO ALL THOUGHTS FLY OUT OF MY HEAD LIKE THAT? CHRIST! And afterwards I jumped and hugged everyone I was there with (Liz, Maryann, Juliet, Shubha). Not surprisingly, I was super flushed afterward because of over-squeeage. BUT IT'S JD! I <3 him so very very much.
(For anyone not familiar with JD, he was a Rangers goalie in the late 70s to early 80s, then became the Rangers color analyst, announcing games with Sam Rosen for MSG, then went to STL to be their General Manager.) It makes me so sad that he's in STL. Sather should have offered him the GM/VP. JD did so much for the St. Louis Blues, but dammit, we know that his heart lies in NYC! T_T
So, not that I'mgoing to turn into a JD-stalker or anything, but I've decided that I definitely have to go to all games against STL in the future. I was wearing my Cally jersey at the time, so I have to get JD's autograph on my LEETCH jersey next season. THIS MUST BE DONE.
A few of us went for drinks at Molly Wee after the game, and while closing my tab I got into a conversation with a couple of STL fans who were sitting at the bar. They were really nice and good conversation was had! In particular, bonding over JD and how awesome he is (they got his autograph too)!!! There was some kindly teasing over their win/our loss, but NO ASSHOLERY! It was really nice, especially in contrast to those crappy Sabres fans from last time!
Also, not like the drunk and belligerent NYR "fan" sitting behind us in 315. Talking trash about the team, and the fans in the seats next to us. Why PAY to come to a game to boo your own freaking team? Just stay the fuck home.
But I have to say, I was on such a high because of JD-squee that the fact that we sucked so much last night never really penetrated my fog of happy. Not like I wasn't paying attention. Oh, I paid attention. But I just couldn't be brought down.
