Tonight marks the first trip for the Atlanta Thrashers to Buffalo this season. It also marks my first regular season game at HSBC in the 2008-2009 campaign.
This means that I get to see the mighty Jochen's return to the ice for the first time since the Islanders Game; it will be so nice to have his defensibly responsible self back out there with Pommers!
I hope to see a lot of this happening tonightI also get to see Captain Craig's return to home ice after he proved that he is, indeed, Super(defense)Man in New Jersey. I swear, sometimes I think I see the shirt with the "S" sticking out under his jersey. The last game I went to, he kicked the tar out of Ryan Hollweg, and I really hope he does the same to someone tonight.
For those of you who have read this blog since the summer, yes, I did pick this game for a reason, and that reason is...
Colby Armstrong!
I love Colby almost as much as Sidney Crosby does, so this is the first game I'm going to where I actually genuinely like a guy on the other team. It makes me really excited that I get to see him probably do nothing except get penalties (which is all he does on my fantasy team), but I don't care because, for some reason, he just makes me smile.
Hopefully before I get to the arena tonight, I will know whose lovely face I will not be seeing on the ice. Will it be Timmy still nursing his sore groin (which begs for comments about Chippewa that I will leave to your imagination)? Will it be Matt Ellis placed on waivers again (I hope not)? Will Drew Stafford be sent to Portland for his lackluster play? Personally, I think it's this last choice - sorry Drew.
So if anyone else is going to be there tonight, stop by Section 307 and look for a really short girl wearing a Goose jersey.
PS: To whoever found this blog by looking for "best grinder ever hockey" I believe the answer you're looking for is Paul Gaustad.

Ahhh!! Army! He's such a great personality. I was so surprised when the Pens traded him. Can we get him somehow??
Colby Armstrong once gave my girlfriend "eyes". I don't know what that means, but I'm okay with it.
He's such a great personality.
That he is, Anne! He's just infectiously adorable.

I've been asking that since he got traded, but I think Sid's going to want him back.

Colby better watch it; I know what a violent and intimidating person you can be...
;)
I love Army. ): I loved him on the Penguins, and was in tears when I heard he was traded in February.

Shelby, if you look at some of my posts from the Cup Finals, you can see that I felt exactly the same way. Sure, I was sad about Soupy, but thinking of Sid without Colby had me in tears for far too long for a non-Sabre.
