Silver lining: Pretty pictures

I know some won't find this to be particularly redemptive of last night's goose egg, but as usual, our mid-westerner behind the lens, Chris "Not Lusty for Brusty" Jerina did a great job capturing the game and making it look not nearly as painful as it actually was.

I feel slightly less hateful after looking at them. Though that could also be from spending my morning taking it out on all the frozen-dead foliage in my back yard. Gardening is therapeutic.

Let's eat our veggies first:

Sorry Smitty. It was hit in with a high stick, according to the ref, so No Goal. I still don't understand how, if MY defenseman hits it in with a high stick, it's still a goal against me, but if my opponent does, it isn't. But that's another story.


How the hell does this not go in?


Would love to be a fly on the cage here... Kinda wanna blocker the smug right off Santorelli's face.
True Fact: Goalies are allowed to use blocker as a verb. "I blockered it into the corner." "He ran my crease so I blockered him right in the jewels."


Welcome to everywhere BUT the inside of the net, puck.


ROBBED! Have mercy, Dex...


Okay, on to the pretties:

*shudder* Yes. Just like this.

CRRRRONCH!


Me, too, honey. Me, too.


And finally, my favorite of the bunch. So many intense faces. Love it.
