The name is Katie. 26. Born Czech citizen, Canadian at heart. Adoration for everything Canadian. My only religion is hockey and I revolve my life around it. I build exceptional relationships with my favorite teams & players. Simon Gagne is everything. No insults towards his perfection will be tolerated. My love for him is endless, without boundaries and I am blind to the colors he wears. Call it obsession if you want, I prefer word dedication.
My #1 team is the Tampa Bay Lightning. The other teams I love to cheer on are: Philadelphia Flyers, Anaheim Ducks, Phoenix Coyotes, Los Angeles Kings [by default], Czech national team, Team Canada, Quebec Remparts.
3/31/11 = the best day of my life.
A Czech Republic fan comes to Florida as a vacationing tourist, and lives a dream in experiencing the Tampa Bay Lightning and the St. Pete Times Forum first hand.
My dear fellow Lightning fans. I know this is probably not the right way to ask for help, this should be about the Lightning after all, but I hope our great and amazing admins won't mind this...
I can imagine what you must be thinking right now. "Oh, God no. Kat is writing another Gagne article again?" It can get old, I know. I also realize that you have a team to worry about, no time to...
Here is the picture of BSH Powe shirt which appeared on our Sport Channel during an NHL commercial. I also made a short video which you can watch here. Obviously, it's not the best quality because I had to use my phone but it's better than nothing I guess. The shirt appears for a split second at 4.sec mark.
I meant to post this much earlier but the school prevented me from doing much besides studying (and pulling my hair out in the process). Anyway... this is me in all my BSH shirts. They kick ass. I pretty much wear them all the time (one at a time, duh). Please ignore the fact my face is different color in every picture (my camera is a jokester). This way I'd like to thank Travis for helping me with the purchase of these oh so awesome shirts. Also big thanks to Shaun for designing them. And thanks to Geoff and Todd for... oh wait... what?
Things started off rosy. Simon Gagne, the most noticeable aquisition made by Steve Yzerman in the off season, came to Tampa in the best shape he‘s ever been in, according to his own words. All...
Tampa Bay Lighting forward Simon Gagne discusses his team's 3-2 win in Philadelphia in his return to his former team on Oct. 14, 2010. EDIT: For some reason the video doesn't work. Sorry about that. To watch it, click here.
As I promised, here is a picture of me with the banner I made. It was taken shortly after the game ended. As you can see, I was very happy with the result :D
This is how I'm going to welcome the Boston Bruins in my country. On Saturday, in Prague, wearing my orange Gagne jersey, I'm going to hold this banner and grin from ear to ear. I am SO obnoxious.
As some of you might know, Ryan Malone wore #12 during his NHL career. Until now. He gave it up for Simon Gagne and will wear #6 this year. I know this is not exactly Flyers news but I figured some of you may be interested and sort of happy to hear this news. Well... I know I am.
The Lightning have signed free agent D-man Randy Jones. Played for Los Angeles last season.
I was really, really bored. Please don't take it seriously in any way. Some of you might recognize those are quotes from a movie :) For a higher resolution click here.
Here is what I think about the Gagne to Tampa trade. Go read it if you're interested.
Here it is. It's done. It's over. Simon Gagne has been traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning. If you know me, at least a little, you probably came to an easy conclusion - that this trade must make me...
If it happens I want it to happen fast. As the patch is ripped off the wound so it won't hurt that much. Since last night when the infamous tweets about "Gagne playing his last game as a Flyer"...
Reportedly, Simon Gagne should be involved in a trade. I know this is not very reliable source, but I have been told by some people that TSN's Bob McKenzie talked about possible Gagne trade on NHL Live. Please tell me this is not happenig.
I had too much free time and too many videos in my laptop. Here's the result of it. Let me know what you think. Hope you like it.
First home game lost in regulation this season. Vinny scored last night. He gained 20 points in 22 games so far. Yet there are still some "fans" who call for a trade saying he's not the right...
