Hey hockey fans! Here's a long-awaited blog....you'd think I'd find the time to do this more often since my involuntary retirement, but being Laura is a lot of work...
Ok - first - the Seattle game on October 25. Have I mentioned how much I hate Key Arena, the Thunderbirds, but most of all the Seattle fans? That was just about the ugliest hockey I have seen the Tips play - no focus, no plan, and what was with Kyle Beach and Taylor Ellington's fake moustaches? Seriously - I would have put them in the penalty box just for looking stupid.
But yeah - here's the recap of Tuesday's game against Tri-Cities: WORST REFS EVER! Smith totally sucked and the Linesmen sucked too. The only good news was that their bosses were in the stands watching them - maybe we can hang out once they are involuntarily retired too!
Great game, except that everytime we scored, the Tri-Cities scored too. We would score a killer goal and then they would answer. And you think that having the refs on their side would have helped them win the game - but no - we did it. We tied the game, held them off during OT and then yes - my new fav - Kellan "Tater" Tochkin (#16) won the game - especially sweet since Pickard (the Tri-Cities Goalie) would skate off and thump his chest for every shot he blocked.
And yes, fans, it was me who called into KRKO and announced to the world my new nickname for #16 - Tater Tochkin - and the guys loved it! Hockey Tom and Leo (who was grounded by his girlfriend from the hockey game according to Tom) won't let me ad-lib any heckles, but even Hockey Tom slipped and yelled "Nice job, Tater"....see, I'm like that - I eventually get to you and ya have to love me!
So, I'll be signing autographs at the next game during the periods out in the smoking section - please line up in an orderly fashion and have your $20 cash ready - no checks or credit cards please!

First of all, having a tiara and a pink "pretty, pretty princess" theme on a hockey blog seems somewhat strange. And the fact that the URL includes the word "hottie" is also a bad sign.
Nevertheless, I agree with most of your post. Some corrections:
- Leo was actually at a soccer game. Seriously. I can't think of anything worse to say about the guy. What is this? Cuba?
- Next, I always thought I had a "John" look from Chips. Thanks for getting it out in the open.
- Third, I heard you on the postgame show. I would have called in to correct you but my phone was dead. Section 119 does not accept that nickname. You've only converted poor David on the "tater" nickname, and that's because he is all googly-eyed back there with his girl. (I do agree that Tocthkin and Bartek are playing GREAT hockey right now.)
And final point. How does a defensemen get a star when his team just gave up SIX goals? I thought defense was pretty disastrous last night...nice call, Rosen.
I think Becanic would look pretty in pink!
ok TOM, i'm only going to say this once, so listen close!!! as the creator of "and they still suck!" i say "tater" is in! enuff said. as for being all googly-eyed, damn straight!!!
who gives a nickname like that?
thats so disrespectful to do
maybe ask kellan tochkin how he feels about it?
Hey Anonymous: Thanks for reading my blog. For the record, Tochkin knows about his nickname.
Secondly, if you think that's rude, you should hear what your nickname is....
i asked him about it after a game while i was getting a autograph and he hated it
he asked me if he was a type of food
perhaps he was been nice?
Last say on your comments, Anonymous:
1. If you want to have a dialog, use your name.
2. If you don't like the nickname, don't use it.
3. Please read the disclaimer on my blog - if you don't have a sense of humor, don't post.
4. "Tater" is the nickname we have chosen. Kellan is an awesome player with incredible skills and hopefully he will have a long career in hockey. If I am correct, he will need to get used to taunts, heckles and nicknames. Think of this as a growing experience for him.
5. Really, you don't have anything better to do than ask a 16 year-old what he thinks of a nickname?
not at all i have only talked to the kid once in my life after a game and i just remember reading your page about a day before which was a coincidence so i thought i would bring it up for a chuckle and he just kinda walked away after he said talked about been called a type of food, just makes you wonder why silvertips fans are taunting there best player??
