I also got a new pair of breezers, but those aren't nearly as fun to look at.
My plans tonight? Sit on the couch in my breezers and watch the Wild game while playing catch with the wall.
Kurtis Foster of the MN Wild suffered a broken femur, which is too bad cause he's pretty hot, and we coulda used him in the playoffs. :(
Really interesting interview with Kurtis Foster of the MN Wild:

Hard Fighting Blazers Defeated by 'Jackets 4-0
11/04/2007
The College of Saint Benedict’s (0-2-0 overall) rematch against the University of Wisconsin-Superior (2-0-0 overall) resulted in another win for the Yellowjackets. The final score at the away game in Wessman arena on Sunday November 4 was 4-0. Blazers competed hard against Superior but just were not prepared enough.
The teams remained in a standstill until 12 minutes and 30 seconds into the first period when Yellowjacket’s Lindsey LeGree was assisted by Kirsti Hakala in a goal. The Blazers defense managed to hold them off until the second period when Gina Baranzelli shot and scored. Opponents Jasmine Pollock and Teagan Cassan both completed a goal in the third period to end the game up by four.
Blazer’s goalie Amanda Plumm (Lake Elmo, Minn.) took the net for all 60 minutes and had an astonishing 49 saves. That was 35 more then Superior’s goalie Rikki Nespor with 14.
The Blazers are now looking forward to three home games in a row and getting ready for their first one of the season against Robert Morris College. This game will take place in the Municipal Athletic Complex in St. Cloud, Minn. on Thursday November 8. Face-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
_________________________________
I will most likely not be participating in that game. I'm lucky if I get to practice today or tomorrow. I got taken out with 7 minutes left in the game after making a save and hit the ice pretty hard. I've got a quarter-sized bruise on my jaw that conveniently looks like a hickey. My back is literally in knots, and my right ankle took a good twist. I spent last night icing and elevating my swollen foot, and I see the trainer in exactly 20 minutes to decide if I need to be on crutches for the day or not. I may have had a good performance, but i'm bummed that I got hurt in the first game! Oh well, it could have been a lot worse.
Mom, dad, Uncle Kevin and my younger cousins Allison and Payton made the trip up to Superior to watch me play. That was really fun to have them standing nearby to support me at my first game. Richard and Erin continue to be my biggest fans, promising to come to all the games, whether I play or not! I was surprisingly calm going into it..i thought my nerves would get the best of me!
There is a good reason as to why I have not blogged in a long time. For the last week and a half I have been getting up at 5 a.m. for hockey training. No, not practice. Training.
Uphill sprinting, downhill sprinting, flatland sprinting. Lot's of sprinting. Long distance running, weight lifting, plyometrics, agility training, weight vests, etc. You get the picture.
I have found myself to be more out of shape than I thought I was, so aside from dry land, I have been spending 30-45 minutes in the gym doing a cardio workout. Last weekend Kailey and I went to the AMAZING new gym in Woodbury on Commerce Drive called Hästa. (across from Sam's club.) I got in an hour of cardio and an additional half hour of weight lifting.
Besides good muscle tone and dropping a few pounds, what does one get from all of this?
