It's a Matt Clarke!

Okay, so one thing led to another.  I played around with some crayola markers (yes, the kind you can find in a grocery store) and made a Chris.  Now I made a Matt Clarke.  None of you are safe.  ;)

And I'll have you know that I showed it to Goliath and he said "It's a Matt Clarke!"which made me very happy especially in the absence of a revelatory number on his sleeve....okay, not exactly...what Goliath really said was: "It's blonde guy defense number fifteen who is one of the guys who has the same name as some of the other guys...a what?"

And it was actually I who supplied the: "Matt?"

And then he who added the "Clarke".....eventually.

He had the gist.

FIFTY DAYS TILL HOCKEY

So I woke up realizing that there are fifty more days until puck drop.  And what did I do?  I grabbed some markers of course! And not the good ones...that's right...I used the mediocre markers because they were the closest!

 

Okay so it's not that great...but what do you want for eight in the morning (and cheap markers)?!  

Also involved in this early morning atrocity was a half empty bottle of black ink and aqua ink. The rest came from seeing what would happen if I combined cheap markers with water.  Chris, you were my experiment.  I'll make it up to you, promise.

Good News! (UPDATED!)

So Chris Donovan, the Rookie of the Year, has signed up with us for another season...

YES YES YES on so many levels.  (And Miss "Montreal"...if you scream out plus fort! in reply...this orange juice is going to go up my nose again and I'd rather it didn't.)

It should also be mentioned that Nick Tuzzolino also signed (do I sense an impending captaincy? Perhappppssss.)  So guess what?

And Goliath is so sorry about that.  Girls-who-love-hockey...what can you do?


UPDATES:

1.  Our Engy and Nick Tuzzolino enjoyed a fantastic game in New Zealand recently!  Naturally, the kiwis were most impressed with our boys with Nick breaking the tie by nabbing a goal before the end of the second period for the Americans, and Engelage keeping them at three goals as his Canadian team prevailed with seven, even stopping an American penalty shot.  Congratulations!

2.  Giffen Nyren has his first test match with the Red Bulls over in Salzburg, Austria tonight...GOOD LUCK, GIFF! We're rooting for you!

3.   Riley Emmerson has been busy fine tuning his skills up in Abbotsford and we hear is now engaged to his lovely girlfriend, Jennifer Shannon. Congratulations, you two, and best of luck!!

4.   So we don't have Kevin Deeth after all.  Kevin is being sent to the Stavanger Oilers in Norway and should be there in a day or two.  Wow.   What a huge blow to the Grizz.  I am very interested to see what the plans are to make up for this loss.  Best of luck, Kevin.  The Oilers are a great team!

Have we missed any other new news? Let us know!!

Simon.

Denmark just got themselves one of the best men in the ECHL and the one I have loved best.  You hear that Denmark?  You do great things with him.  You respect his fans, people like me who have loved him, and you do great things with him. 

And as for you, Simon...I do know that this is what you wanted, what you were hoping for, since you yourself told me...and for this singular reason I'm happy for you, but as for me...well, I'm sure you can already guess. 

There's a person over here, on this side of the Atlantic, standing by the Utah ice, who will always hold you in the highest esteem.

Kick ass, Simon.


Always,

Penny.
