After spending a long miserable night in the throes of death-flu, there are few things that can improve the resulting morning. Nevertheless, one of those few and precious things is hockey and, fortunately for your Penny, hockey arrived bright and early in the form of not only a fifth-straight 3-2 victory against the ECHL-leading Las Vegas Wranglers...but this:
That, my friends, is Simon Sunshine. Frequently sighted since Simon Ferguson joined the Utah Grizzlies, Simon Sunshine is a remarkable phenomenon that involves waking-up-to-discover-primary-love-booger-Simon-Ferguson-nearly-scored-another-hat-trick-in-the-game-you-missed-last-night-due-to-death-flu. The first of the night came in the last three seconds of a power play in a gorgeous classic Simon-wrap-around assisted by none other than the absurdly cool and talented duo Nick Tuzzolino and Kevin Deeth. (Simon-Nick-Kevin is amazing combo of amazingness, and I know that's not the most intellectual way of putting that fact, but it is honestly the best I can do while recovering from flu.) Simon did it again just ten seconds into the second period with what was undoubtedly a hot assist by the also ridiculously talented and rapidly improving Brett Parnham. While the boys did everything they could to give Simon a chance for that hat trick the last ninety seconds of the game, he had to settle for two. Nevertheless, that makes 15 goals this season for 1pen's Love Booger Number One.
Still in the ranks of completely and utterly fantastic is Tom May who picked up the final goal for Utah last night during a penalty shot and improved his numbers to eleven goals this season (and his EIGHTH goal in the last ten games....yes, that's right: *O&&^$&*^$(&$($.) See...I am not kidding you...best freaking ECHL team there is...
And, of course, no post of fangirly flailing would be complete without mention of Engelage. Come on. This is ANDREW ENGELAGE. You didn't think he was completely absent from the mood-improving morning news, did you? DID YOU? That boy stopped 21 of 23 shots and he did it in fantastic ENGY fashion....in other words, he did it with style. STYLE.
And last but not least. Guess what? Guess what? Guess what? Go on. Guess.
