Real Hockey Starts Tomorrow

It looks like All Star weekend was a success. I enjoyed some parts of it, but I guess in many ways the game is for new fans to the game or young children. Just doesn't have the same feel for me, when I was younger I would get so excited for both the game and skills competition. This year it was a time filler in between writing a paper and doing family stuff.

All Star Draft

So the big draft if tonight. Who do you think will be the last picked?

I am really hoping it's not Phil Kessel of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Haven't the Leafs and Phil suffered enough this year..lol. I am thinking David Backes will be the last picked.

I will be watching this draft tonight at my parents house. My grandparents are in town and we are having a family dinner. Should be fun watching it with my Papa and Dad, they both know hockey so well.

I have a feeling that Lidstrom and Staal have worked out a deal on who they want. I can see Lidstrom getting both the Sedins and Staal getting Stamkos, Ward and his bro Marc Staal.

Regardless, will be fun to watch something new tonight!

Cuba and Gretzky

So after some freezing cold temperatures here in Toronto I am starting to look at taking off during reading week. I know some of my friends are going to Cuba, so that is an option. But when I look in my bank account and see how little cash is in there, I might just stay in the city and work. I know my parents would give me money to go away. But I am starting to get to the point where I don't like taking money from them. God, I guess I am growing up..lol

Rock me like a Hurricane :)

What do you think of the Maple Leafs Guardian?

The Toronto Maple Leafs head into Raleigh, North Carolina and face the Hurricanes tonight.

Maple Leafs Vs Capitals

I was suppose to go to this game, but my Dad is taking his brother instead. Hate you uncle David:)

A nice lazy Saturday for me, I am trying to get some reading done for school, but that can wait. I was also going to go snowboarding today with some friends, but Anna couldn't get her car and we didn't feel like driving up with the boys.

Not sure where I am going to watch the Leafs game tonight. I don't mind watching at a bar but I like to be able to hear what is going on. So most of the times I will watch it with some friends at my place and have a few predrinks before going out.

So the Washington Capitals are in town

Looking at the stats I can't believe Alex Ovechkin only has 16 goals in 48 games. Hoping the Leafs can keep him off the scoreboard. But somehow he always has big games against the Leafs. I have a feeling he will end up scoring. Mike Green is also having an off year with 21 points in 41 games. That is not bad for most defencemen in the league. But if you look at his stats last year you expect him to have much better numbers.

The Leafs are going to have Mike Brown back from his 3 game Suspension. The Maple Leafs really do miss him when he is not in the lineup. Look for him to dish out some big body checks and add some much needed toughness to the lineup.

I am also really looking forward to the 2^nd game on Hockey Night in Canada. The Vancouver Canucks host the Calgary Flames. This should be a fun game to watch, and I am hoping the Sedins can get me some points for my Fantasy team this week.

Have a great night

Go Leafs Go:)

Going to the Leaf Game Tonight:)

Leaf Game Tonight:)

I am going to the Leaf game tonight with my Dad

One of the things I get excited most about Leaf games is watching the other team's star players. Yes, I do love my Leafs and do want them to win out there every night. But it's nice to watch other amazing players play live right in front of you.

I was really looking forward to seeing Ryan Getzlaf play, but he is still out from getting his face smashed in with a puck. I wonder how many Leaf players are going to want to kill Corey Perry by the time the game is done. I have a feeling he is going to score tonight though.

Other players I am going to watch are Bobby Ryan and rookie Cam Fowler. I have been hearing a lot of good things about Fowler and want to see how he plays in person, and watch how is plays without the puck in his own zone

It looks like Giggy will be in net tonight. Would love to see him get a win against his old team.

So do I boo Jason Blake?

Toronto Maple Leafs Visit Hospital for Sick Children

I love when I find videos like this.

The Toronto Maples Leafs, do a yearly visit to Sick kids. (I think it should be more often)

From Dion playing some air hockey and Versteeg looking all cool and badass with his hat turned backwards. He looks very Justin Bieberish..lol

It’s been going on for over 50 years now…enjoy



Did anyone else see Beauchemin's brutal turnover on the bubble hockey table? lol...

Hockey With My Dad

I am pretty sure my dad wishes he had a Son. I know when I would bring a boyfriend home that played hockey (for some reason all my ex's have been hockey players) my Dad would like him right away and they would talk hockey.

If I had a buck everytime I watched a hockey game with my Dad I would be rich. So many nights that my mom would already be in bed and my Dad would let me stay up and watch the double header on Hockey Night in Canada. He would always make popcorn and let me put as much butter as i wanted on…lol. He would talk to me about certain plays and tell me which players were having bad nights out there. I learned a lot from my Dad on those nights.

Ugh...Hungover

Ok this picture just scares me..lol

Jenna Loves Hockey is Open for Business

So this is my first post on my new blogJ

I have always loved hockey and followed it since I was a kid. It was how my Dad and I bonded. I go to around 20 Toronto Maple Leaf games a year as my family has season tickets. So I am not just your average fan.

I hope that I can update this at least once a week. School gets busy sometimes but I hope I can keep this active.

Here are some of my favorite players

 

Sidney Crosby

Big shocker here, but I love him even more now after
that golden goal he scored. It's hard not to love the guy, he gives it his all every shift on the ice and works so hard in the offseason. I hope his concussion is not that bad and he will be back out there soon for the Pens.

Kris Versteeg

Versteeg is my favorite Toronto Maple Leaf. I love how he can stick handle in a phone booth, and I think he
will be a huge part of the Leafs moving forward.

Ryan Kesler

I have like watching Kesler for years. And it’s not just because he is a hottie (does look great in boxers thoughJ). He is in my mind the best two-way player in the NHL. He is also on pace to score more 40 goals this season.
