These Are a Few of My Favorite Things.

While the Sabres continue to make a poopy mess out of their west coast trip, I decided to look on the bright side. Well, Tamara's bright side, in case you haven't noticed, no one ever agrees with me. 

I'm warning you now, two of the three have to do with Dany Heatley. 

3. 30 0n 30

Don't act like you weren't there! Despite epic failure (which somehow still includes Jason Pominville scoring) Dany scored his 30th goal tonight...on a goalie who wears number 30 (odds were that could have happened anyways). 

I called it. I said it would either be his birthday or today. Maybe he wanted to stick to 29 on his 29th birthday? No?

Anyways, awesome goal, hurray! 

Which leads us to....

2. Olympians Stay Put

Mr. Jhonas Enroth unofficially confirmed to me that NHL Olympians will be stay put until the break begins. No opening ceremonies, no fuzzy feelings with the new teams, no love from the NHL. They're just jealous. 

While this means less Patty time (somewhat), it DOES mean Dany time. Dany time that doesn't involve Toronto, but instead, 100 level seats near my boy!

And maybe he'll score again!

And Patty will likely be playing, but...we can adjust, no?

:)

He's excited, too!

1. Furry People Need Love, Too!

Shelby mentioned this in her last post, but it bears repeating. Haha, bear! One of the largest furry conventions (google it...) took place in the same San Jose hotel as where our boys were staying. 

Resume laughing. 

Here is the second of two pictures. 

As long as they don't think he's one of them. 

Next up, Shelby's guilty pleasure (I think they're called the Canucks). 

Hopefully we don't embarass ourselves.

Hopefully Patty isn't in net.

Hopefully Drew is there.

Yay!

Two happy announcements. 

Despite epic failure the other night, Timmy Connolly scored his 100th career goal (and kept a point streak alive in the process). I was going to mention it in the post about that game, however didn't want an awesome thing associated with a not-so-awesome thing. 

We edited Pattys cake for Timmy.

So, good news there!

Not to mention over 12 months without a Timmy Connolly boo boo (granted that included four months of offseason, but I believe that is when he is more likely to get hurt since he's not being supervised).

Annnnnnnnd, something totally non- Sabres related. 

Drum Roll pleaseeeeeee

Why, it's Dany Heatley's birthday!

Shut up, you care!

29 years ago today, that woman right there gave birth to that guy right there. Funny how that works out. Now that he's pushing 30, he should reallllly consider settling down, but I won't nag him about that on his big day. 

Perhaps he should score his 30th goal tonight for his birthday (29 goals on his 29th birthday, aww! barf). 

Or against us on Saturday, whatever. 

You'd be surprised how it doesn't matter to me when it comes to this guy. 

Or maybe not.

Things That Are Not Kissing Millers Behind.

And things that don't have anything to do with the Sabres. 

Last night, the Sharks/Blackhawks game was on Versus. Shelby was kind enough to remind me of this, and leave out the fact that I was suppose to be at that game. BUT, that is a different story. 

Anywho, we were also baking Christmas cookies at the time. It was a blur of Tamara hearing ' score!' and ' Heatley' and a thud when a chunk of flour and what was suppose to be dough hit my kitchen floor. 

(Needless to say, Shelby and I did a jumping dance in my kitchen. Which, has improved from when Toni scored). 

So yes, Mr. Heatley scored hisssss 22nd goal of the season. Which means, he is only one goal below Ovie. Put that in your pipe, Derek Roy. 

:)

I had to use Getty Images because when it comes to Dany, Yahoo! Sports isn't with it just yet. I think they may believe he still plays for the Senators. 

Also scoring was Joey! I wasn't there when it happened, but it was shorthanded and it was Joe Thornton so who the hell cares about details. 

Yahoo! Sports know who he is. 

Evengi Nabokov also made 45 saves on 47 shots which is stellar. It's amusing because for the entire pre-game they were talking about how awesome Huet was, prior to letting in three goals on 14 shots. Kind of like how they talk about Tyler Myers right before he lets the other team on a breakaway...

This just in, my dad has agreed to take Patty the Bobblehead to Dubai with him on Boxing Day! He's going to get a picture and return two days later with the picture and the bobblehead (I hope). I usually go visit him every year at Spring Break, but it wouldn't work out with our non-existent schedule, so yay!

This is almost as good as Goose scratching his hiney on the jumobtron...allllmost.
