ale – What's Up, Ya Sieve? http://whatsupyasieve.com WE’RE GIRLS. WE LOVE HOCKEY. WE WENT TO BOSTON UNIVERSITY, SO WE WATCH MIRACLE A LOT.

“I know you can be overwhelmed, and I know you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?”  “I think you can in Europe.” – 10 Things I Hate About You

Frankly this gives your average American zero inspiration to wake up at 10 AM (damn you, west coast) after a night of partying to watch what may not even be a hockey game.  It looks like a commercial for a 2-hour delay at my high school.

Rain and snow and Sidney walking all weird at the beginning.  Ovi looks particularly squinty – shouldn’t he be a pro at freezing rain and snow?  Don’t they play pond hockey in Russia?

Sid wears a little Pens lapel logo while they’ve given Ovi the biggest Capitals insignia this side of a game jersey.  I particularly like this screencap because it looks like a boy band music video.  In fact, this commercial feels like an *N Sync vs. BSB staredown and we all know who the Justin Timberlake is.

I’ll be awake of course, texting madly with Dawn or we might just have to Skype for the whole game.  Everyone else will wake to 2011 with the sound of my screaming and not even know what I’m yelling at.  So just like every other day of the hockey season.
