Ok, the shirts are in! I decided to go with Zazzle since Melt Your Face Off uses them and I really like the price and quality. And they ship super fast. You can pick your size, shirt type and color. Plus there are discounts when you buy more than one item.
I think red is the best choice for obvious reasons. I have a feeling we will be having more Red Outs.
I will be putting up more designs too. Let me know what you want to see. I will make it happen.
lulz to be had.
bitch please!
Ok, so. Media? Can I have a word with you? Uhm, you need to get your shit straight. You routinely bobbled names during the tournament. Stacy Bowman? Really? And then this;
Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this picture? Perhaps the part where you mess up the name of the MVP.
TOKARSKI. It’s not that hard. You haven’t said his name enough lately? Or written down? The most important thing that has happened to him in his hockey career yet, and you still don’t have his name right.
Also, I have pictures from today’s homecoming for the boys. But they are ridiculously blurry due to crappy arena lighting.
Tokarski Saves shirts are on the way. I am going to have a friend whip up a few designs for me and hopefully you can buy them within 10 days.
Did I mention I am a P-I-M-P? Linked on Puck Daddy.
The Champs;
We pulled it off. We really pulled it off.
The Chiefs brought home the Memorial Cup and posted a perfect 4-0 for the round-robin tournament Kitchener, Ontario defeating the Belleville Bulls, the Gatineau Olympiques and the Kitchener Rangers (twice).
Dustin Tokarski was named the MVP making an astounding 53 saves for this game. I expect his stock to now shoot up come June. Like, top of the list jump. I also expect some other Chiefs to get some much deserved love for the draft and I am thrilled. Someone has Mitch Wahl’s number, right?
I am pretty much dancing on my toes. I have no idea how I am sitting still and writing this out.
I have left out the best part. When they gave Chris Bruton the cup? He dropped it. It broke. The cup popped off the base. It was honestly the funniest thing I have ever seen. The fans in the arena were in shock, and booed. Then I think it was Trevor Glass, swooped in and picked up one of the pieces and was like “Yeah! We won!” and everyone seemed to get over it. They passed around the two parts. And for the team picture, Drayson Bowman is holding the trophy together.
There is already video….
It’s actually kinda adorable. This rag tag group of kids make it all the way and win. They break the coveted trophy. And don’t even fucking care. There was nothing but pure joy to be seen. Ecstatic they some how clawed their was through these teams and bested them all. This fight is longer and harder than the one for Lord Stanley, then it all comes down to a round-robin tournament and one final game.
These kids aren’t millionaires. They go back to being regular kids who just happened to do something amazing. They are playing hockey out of sheer joy and love.
Total wins this season: 70.
The score summary. I could have written about what actually happened in the game. I might later on. For now? I am nothing but proud of these ragamuffins.
One last time; TOKARSKI SAVES.

Oh the long version….
at the end;
Time time has come, for the Chiefs to play the final game of the Memorial Cup against the Kitchener Rangers (oh son of a fuck….).
Jenn and I will be liveblogging the insanity.Which I am nervous for. Why? Because the fucking Rangers pounded the Belleville Bulls 9-0. NINE. NINE TIMES. Like, that is a massacre I am pretty sure. Like blood in the streets, terrorizing women and children pillaging. So. uhm yeah. One last time, boys.
Onto other matters;
With the Chiefs season dwindling and the only hockey I have left is the Pens and Wings for the Cup. Both teams I really don’t like. So what in the hell am I going to do here over the summer? Well, the Draft is in June, that will give me something to talk about. Beyond content after that, well I do have a few more tricks up my sleeve. Some collaborations are in the works.
I am hoping to restructure this blogabode and come up with a bit more diversified take next season and hopefully drive traffic. But I am sure you can probably still expect my frenetic management. Really, I only have to survive July. Since the boys are due back sometime in August for camp then it’s time to hit the ground running.
Thanks for hanging around this experimentalness.
i’ve had his number.
Clearly, my Jedi mind control is amazing;
Because I am not the only one with nice things to say about Dustin Tokarski. And this one is from an unbiased source, of sorts.
of note;
Things that happened yesterday: the Chiefs securing a slot for the Memorial Cup final.
Things that will happen today: Jenn and I liveblogging the Chiefs game today against Gatineau (Frenchies….). Puck drop is sometime 4pm-ish our zone.
Typical topics of discussion on the docket; Falk Falk’ing up, the Bowman, and Toka. Oh, and perhaps analysis of the Gatineau beards. Do they grow beards? Can they? We hope to answer these burning questions today.
