Oh Mi Gawd!! Ok. On Wendsday I was sitting in study hall bored as hell. I picked up the newspaper and saw that the Wolfpack were playing the Beast at 7:30 in Avon Old Farms for free. So I waited til the end of the day...called Betsy from school...came home...begged Daddy and we were off. When we got there we were like "Ew!" cause it was in like a really preppy school and stuff... Once we got in we were freaking out. The WolfPack weren't out yet but all these little kids were playing hockey. After a while we saw some Beast of New Haven come out of their locker room. We went nuts cause we couldn't stand the sight of such gay beings. Anyways, The WolfPack came out wearing some Rangers pratice jerseys that were left over and So they weren't wearing their regular numbers. PJ was called up to Hartford, So was Marc so i had nobody to cheer for. I always hafta have some player to go nuts over. So i chose Derek Armstrong. He rocks! We saw him last season in his shades and hat in the middle of the night of the last WolfPack game of the season. So I was cheering and screaming my head off for him all friggin night. He waved and winked at me a few times. I was like, "Oh Mi Gawd!!!!" The Wolfpack, of course, scored first. I really forgot who scored the goals...some new guys were scoring a few. I don't really know them that well yet! Some guy on the Beast pissed me off really bad...he went by some little kid and bangs his stick on the glass....His number was 6. I'll remember that! I'll kick his ass. That makes me so mad...i mean the WolfPack are nice guys...BEAST SUCK!!! There were a few brawls. Derek must have gotten like 6 penalties!!! I ran behind the penalty box and screamed to him "Hey DEREK! pose for a picture!!!!!!" It was awesome!!! he did it but later i found out he closed his eyes :o( After the first half of the game Me and Betsy-poo got REALLY REALLY LOUD!!!! I kept screaming Derek's name every 2 seconds. It was awesome! The guys kept looking over at us everytime i would scream. We were so loud. It's kinda weird being in such a small rink and everything you say echos. We knew the players could hear everything we said! By the time it became 1-3 WolfPack and there was like 3 minutes left, everyone started chanting stuff like "BEAST GO HOME!" or "WARM UP THE BUS!!!" it was so funny....ya'll know the Beast SUUUUUUUCK Ed! At the end of the game i jumped up on the glass and screamed to Derek, "Can I have your stick?!?! PWWWWWEASE????? I LOVE YOU MAN!!!!" and he came over with the puck that he used to score the empty netter with and tossed it up to me (By this time i was half over the glass) I jumped down and started freaking out. I told my father many times...It's always the last minute games that are the best :o)
