American Idol Comes to Disney

Once one of my favorite parks, Disney's Hollywood Studios keeps doing more things to make me stay away. Sigh... see for yourself.

Studios gets "American Idol" show



If they didn't have Voyage of the Little Mermaid...

Downie says "No Mas!"

Here's video of Steve Downie skating away from a fight with Jarkko Ruutu on Sunday. What a gutless punk!

Prayers for Zednik

If you didn't see tonight's Sabres-Panthers game, Richard Zednik suffered a horrific injury. He accidentally got his throat cut by teammate Olli Jokinen's skate. It was a terrible scene to see, with so much blood on the ice. Zednik was taken to the hospital and is in surgery now. Let's keep him in our thoughts and prayers.

Geno Domination

I was away for the weekend so I didn't catch any of the game. But boy, do I wish I could have seen them.

2/9: Penguins - 4, Kings - 2
2/10: Penguins - 4, Flyers - 3

Look at this team! Just look at them! When Sid went down, people said they would be lucky to go .500. They are now 6-2-2 without Crosby. They are showing they are much more than one player. Everyone is stepping it up. Ryan Malone, Jordan Staal, Petr Sykora, Sergei Gonchar, Kris Letang, they'll all elevated their games. But no one has done it more than Evgeni Malkin. He has emerged out of Crosby's shadow and shown that he is without a doubt, one of the greatest players in the world. 21 points in 10 games without Sid. 7 points this weekend alone! He's taken this team on his shoulders and is running at full speed. We knew he was good, but this good? Amazing! You know what they say, adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it. The Penguins are showing who they really are. They are a good hockey team. And can you imagine when Crosby, Roberts, and Fleury return? They will be a great team!

Oh yeah... suck it, Flyers. Suck it!

Penguins - 4, Islanders - 3

"Dear Coach,

#@&% you!

Sincerely,
Ryan Whitney"

That was the message sent tonight. After getting chewed out in public by Michel Therrien, Ryan Whitney answered tonight with 2 goals and an assist. Kris Letang got the game-winner late in the 3rd period. There were some things to be concerned about though. Ty Conklin did not play well. He gave up a horrible empty net goal in the 1st and made mistakes throughout the night. I hope this isn't the end of his stellar play. Also, it's becoming more and more evident that the Penguins defensemen can't handle physical forwards. This has to be addressed. It was nice to get the win. We have a big weekend coming up with 2 games, including the Flyers. Since Crosby went down, we haven't been able to string together a winning streak. Let's start one now!

Noooooooooo!!!

This is indeed a sad day for hockey...

Marc-Andre Fleury has switched his gear from yellow to white. Who knows the reason for the change, but those yellow pads were awesome and distinctive. Farewell, yellow flower! :(

Belle & Ariel Sing Together

I just found this amazing clip on YouTube of Paige O'Hara (Belle) and Jodi Benson (Ariel) singing "When You Wish Upon A Star." It's beautiful!

Devils - 4, Penguins - 3 (OT)

What was that? The Penguins should have won this game. They outplayed the Devils for most of the game. The score should not have even been close. Did the Penguins become too confident? A complete breakdown at the end of the game. Although we got a point out of this, this result is very disappointing.

Penguins - 4, Hurricanes - 1

Although they trailed through the first two periods, this was the Penguins' game. Four different Penguins scored in this game. That is a testament to this team's depth. Ryan Malone has finally begun to show his potential... much later than expected. But hey, at least it's here. Nice to see Petr Skyora still plays on this team. And how awesome was that goal by Malkin? The Pens got Colby Armstrong back and expect Adam Hall and Kris Beech soon. Marc-Andre Fleury and Gary Roberts await down the line. This team is coming back together. Let's keep it up, guys!

Giselle!!!

Look what I found on Main Street today! The first Enchanted art piece I've ever seen! It looks awesome. $450... ouch.
