It's Hemmertime!

It took Ales Hemsky a few games, but the kid is hot stuff after all, potting two goals (one of which was highlight reel worthy) in Thursday's game against the Wild (sorry Kirsten!) and winning it in the shootout with an unlikely mess-up that snuck its way past Josh Harding - watch for the look on his face as he turns the corner.



He swears he didn't mean to - in fact, he even says he didn't realize it went in at all until he heard the cheers. Not content, he showed up against in yesterday night's game against the Ducks to put the Oilers on the board first, and while it was Andrew Cogliano who played hero, tying the game up shorthanded in the last few seconds, Hemsky won the game for them yet again, with a shootout goal that more than made up for his last attempt.

Uh, for $8.99? Count me in! (Excuse the poor photo quality - I found that at the bar the other night and only had my cell phone on me. Capitalization is a dangerous thing, people.

It's ok, Hemsky is on MY fantasy team after all and got those two goals for me...

If you keep beating him regularly he's going to stop scoring goals for you, you know. No matter how good my nursing is.

Kirsten said...

I haven't beaten him in a while...I did promise you that I'd take good care of him, did I not?

Steph said...

And you better be! If I find out that any beatings that have not been pre-approved going on, I will not be pleased!
