the strapping young fellas.

Wow this is being posted late. Because I was out galavanting. And just got back from a midnight showing of Death Race. You guys, it is so epic and full of win it’s not even funny. It’s aces. So I dropped in and watched the boys do their thing. I even took notes. I was prepared. If my handwriting weren’t so bloody awful I would have scanned my notes (because they are funny that way) instead I will just type it all here

lulz to be had.

he still rules;

You know, it’s quite obvious from my site just how much I love Dustin Tokarski. He tends to be topic number one around here, for all the right reasons naturally. There is the fact that his stats are outta control! Seriously, y’all. The numbers are fucking hot. Last I heard his saves percentage was still around .944 and his GAA was about 1.38. His performance last night was stellar. The Chiefs did their best to get a solid footing, but the Rangers weren’t going down like that. Toka proved to be his usual, reliable self in the pipes holding off the Rangers while the Chiefs had a slim lead of 2-1 in the second and stopping 36 shots and getting the win for us in the end.

So, obviously, he was first star of game 2 last night Click for interview with Toka and listen to him talk about how much he rules. Just kidding, he is totally sweet and not arrogant at all.

Oh look, another video; That fucking WordPress won’t let me embed. Whores.

During one of the intermissions, one of the Shaw announcers (I hate those fuckers. STACY BOWMAN!? ARE YOU FUCKING SHITTING ME?!) asked Tokarski about his nickname Coach game him which happens to be Tic and he said he got the Tick painted on his helmet. I figured coach calls him Tic since he has numerous nervous tics and habits when he plays. He covers a puck and clears it out he turns around and smacks hit stick under the net, left then right. Occasionally smacks his stick on right post then left, which I think happens when he is bored or has a light workload. He constantly is tapping his chestplate to make sure it’s in the right place. And I mean like every 2 seconds. About every minute he chops up the ice in the crease then knocks the ice of skates; left then right. During the anthems, he does some shuffle thing that I honestly can’t even describe.

Tic, obviously.

Jenn was able produce picture of said helmet;

So just a recap on why Tokarski rules;
-Tokarski Saves (my shirt is proof).
-His hair is amazing (and is probably better than Tyler Johnson’s).
-He doesn’t try and grow some weak playoff beard (it would hide his pretty pretty face anyways).
-His stats are crazy awesome (no, really they are).
-His father, uncle, grandfather and a few cousins have played goalie (it’s in the blood).
-He is 9th ranked goalie for the upcoming draft (should have been higher).
-He was passed over about seven times then landed with the Chiefs. (Ha! We win!)
-He used to strum his stick like he was playing Guitar Hero (I think coach told him to stop doing that).
-He is only 18 (two more seasons!).
-His sweet last name (it sounds Polish, and Pollacks are cool, since I am one).
-He once was shit talking a goalie from the bench and was ready to fight him. Goalie pussied out and Toka laughed it off (I would have gladly paid the 200 some fine just to watch Tokarski beat a bitch down).

Now, for the Draft; who do I want to pick Toka? Well, obviously a team I don’t hate. And I anywhere from dislike to hate a lot of teams. Let’s address the ones I approve of;

-The Washington Capitals. I can see him fitting in with the Caps. And I love these dudes already. I would pretty much lose my freaking mind if Toka was on the same team as Ovie. I hear they have a goalie opening and Dustin will be good to go in two seasons. Plus, we all know that Dustin already looks good in red. Which brings me to pick 2…

-The Montreal Canadiens. The red Chiefs jerseys look similar to the Habs. I know, they already have a young hotshot goalie. Another product of the WHL, uberhottie Carey Price. But hey, I am sure Price and Tokarski can bond over a round of GTA IV and then go out and kick some ass on the ice. Price has had a few issues with third periods, but I bet Toka can slide in and keep it on lockdown.

-The Carolina Hurricanes. They picked Drayson Bowman and Justin McCrae. Let’s keep the band together, eh? That’s about all I got for that one.

-The Vancouver Canucks. Sure they are going to be doing some shaking up. I think Dustin should be waiting in the wings. Sanford is a fucking terrible backup. Roberto Luongo can teach this padawan Toka a few tricks I think. Also in the ‘Couv’s favor; the Sedins and Alexandre Burrows. Dudes I love.

-The Toronto Maple Leafs. I forgot to include this team yesterday. And Greener was kind enough to point this out to me. I will be honest, my Leafer Knowledge is lacking. The majority of my Leaf information comes from the various blogs. Seriously, Leaf blogs are some of the most legit around. Anyways, since my knowledge is lacking. Do the Maple Leafs need a goalie? Some whippersnapper upstart? I think so. I will allow Toka to wear the blue.

Fingers crossed he doesn’t go to…
-Any team in California. I just can’t like any Cali team, it feels wrong. Bitch, it doesn’t snow in LA!
-The Red Wings. Does this require explanation?
-The Pens. One, they have enough foxiness in the pipes with MAF. Two, I don’t want him on a team with Sid even though Malkin is fucking legit. Three, I don’t want to go to a Pens game to see him play. I hear the ‘burgh is dirtttttty.

bringing it home.

The Chiefs welcome home rally was nice and sweet. I felt bad for the boys, you could see they were effing exhausted. They came straight from Lethbridge last night and went to the arena this morning. They arrived at the Arena on their bus.

Which, by the way, could use a paint job. Unless the point is for no one to know the the Chiefs bus looks like. But the Vancouver Giants have a classy bus. I know, I saw it at the mall when I got off work. In fact, that day a few of the Giants came into where I work (Victoria’s Secret). How did I know they were Giants? They were out shopping in their green fucking tracksuits. Plus, their hair was a giveaway.

Back to my point if I ever had one.But they really were all smiles and thrilled by the fans, I think. Chris Bruton is probably exhausted from hoisting the Cup in the air for numerous photo ops.

OMG, you guys. Justin Falk wear glasses. Which look nothing like Sean Avery’s glasses. More like Stephen Colbert’s.
Also, when did Curtis Kelner lose a tooth? Sweetie, have that fixed. I bet you can borrow a tooth from Mitch Wahl.

The pictures aren’t the greatest because I am short and was nearish the back.

Look at those beards! I had to laugh when a few of the players took pictures of the crowd taking pictures of them. I think they were surprised by how many of us showed up. Because well it was 7 am on a weekday and it was a bit cold out.

Take a break, boys. Not too long though. You have a fight ahead of you.

Also, this is the 100th post. If you asked me if I thought I would have lasted this long. I would have said no. Let’s see, this all wouldn’t have been possible without…well I dunno actually. Thanks for all the support from the family of hockey bloggers. See, people really do like hockey after all. Thanks for all the peeps who read this and bear with my extremely chaotic nature.

let’s wrap it up.

I hope the Chiefs win tonight, so I can go light some cop cars on fire.

bang for the buck.

Alright, what is there to be said about last night’s game? Oh, that it was nearly the same game as Friday. And the winning goal did not occur until the second overtime period. Except it was the Ams and not the Chiefs. I won’t lie I was getting a bit tired in the break before the second overtime. I recall whining, “I am missing the Rock of Love reunion.”

It was a nice and neat game. For the most part all the Ams fans were all nice and my non-existent billy club was not needed. Though the music at the game? Oh god was it awful. It was like every band I have ever hated. Played the entire time. Oh and the Cotton Eyed Joe. Boys and men everywhere tore off their shirts. Twirled them over head. My eyes burned. I felt a little vomm coming on.

I will never support the shirt off twirling it overhead unless I am around men of David Beckham caliber. If Clive Owen or Gerard Butler wanted to do that, I’d be like “well shit, ok.” But you, dollface? Put your fucking shirt back on.

I really hope the next games do not go into two overtime periods. Because I am a girl who does not handle stress well.

Now for some pictures of my pretty, pretty boys.

Ulmer.

I see you baby, shakin’ that ass.

Your goaltender.

I somehow find this song fitting. Don’t hate! You totally loved it back in the day, yo.

If you want blood;

C’mon Chiefs. Let’s beat the ‘Couv tonight. Then take on, uhm uhhhh errr Tri Cities. Fuck.

Because I can, one of my favorite bits from one of my favorite movies. What? You have never seen Empire Records? Ugh. Don’t talk to me until you have.

eye candy.

Some visual aides from last night. I think they might be need in some LOL treatment.

Another Donaghy fight. Just a memo, don’t ever fuck with the kid who broke his hand in a fight then switched fists in the brawl.
Kelner and Letts on pink ice night.

Friday:

5-2 Chiefs. We pwned Seattle. Trevor Glass snagged his first goal as a Chief in the first period. There were some complaints that the McCrae hype was over. But he delivered a goal to silence the haters. Judd Blackwater had a goal as well. I realize I only accounted for 3 of 5 said goals. Tokarski held it down in the pipes.

IM IN UR PIPEZ BLOCKING UR SHOTZ.

Saturday:

Chiefs took on the Prince Albert Raiders which was a predicted win since the last game the Raiders played, they gave up 8 goals. It was so promo night. And because Mitch Wahl had a goal, I won a thing of seasoning salt from Red Robin. Go Chiefs Go? Levko Koper, Judd Blackwater and Tyler Johnson posted goals. But according to the stats, it appears that Wahl’s goal was going to Seth Compton.

Oh hey, we were just thinking of playing some hockey. you know?
