She's purdy. I'd love to defile her...

wow, wait, wrong board...

Gotta say, during last year's blackout in Queens it would've been nice if she was paraded up and down Queens Boulevard...The saying "Smile that lights up a room" is an understatement. She could've singlehandely lit up my neighborhood with that smile. Wow.

"saggy balls"...has nyalphamale been banned yet?

The Uptown Girl will have her hands full with a vampire and an FBI agent during the Sabres-Islanders series.

NHL.com has launched celebrity blogs for the playoffs, and three of the writers will be watching this matchup. David Boreanaz, the Buffalo native best known for his television work as Angel on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and the spin-off “Angel,” will be tracking the Sabres, as will William Fichtner, who was raised in Buffalo and stars as Special Agent Alexander Mahone on Fox’s “Prison Break.”

The Islanders have a backer in supermodel Christie Brinkley, former wife of Long Islander Billy Joel, who penned the song “Uptown Girl” about her. Coincidentally, the Sabres vacated HSBC Arena for the Amherst Pepsi Center today and Monday because Joel has a concert downtown tonight.

The Islanders have a backer in supermodel Christie Brinkley, former wife of Long Islander Billy Joel, who penned the song “Uptown Girl” about her and has saggy balls.

Dream girl Christie Brinkley would marry and later divorce a piano man named Billy Joel, but lately Joel's uptown girl has been living in an online world, and writing a blog for the National Hockey League's official Web site.

Brinkley is a recent convert to hockey. She has a young son, Jack, who plays at a rink near her mansion in the Hamptons. The supermodel wanted to take Jack to an Islanders contest this past winter and, being a supermodel, she knew some people who knew some people who lived next door to team vice-president Mike Milbury.

Front-row tickets to the Nassau Coliseum were forthcoming, and a new hockey fan was born.

Despite Brinkley's rookie status as a regular at the Islanders home rink, her online insights such as "they're doing the most amazing things and they're on the slippery ice doing it!" and "these gigantic men are crashing into the glass in front of us, and there was fighting [which I don't approve of], so I was just glued to the glass right from the start," -- have made hers the most popular blog among celebrities.

"We were amazed at the response," Milord says.

Brinkley's web diary appeared for the first time a few weeks back, and within a day it had generated 50,000 page views.

It does not feature any pictures of the 53-year-old mother of three in swimwear, though there is a series of Brinkley at a game in an Islanders sweater.

Brinkley, admits Milord, works with a ghost blogger at the league's New York offices. When she has the urge to talk hockey, she talks to them, and they transcribe her thoughts for public consumption.

Since Brinkley went live, a buzz has shot through the world of the celebrity hockey fan.

The NHL, meanwhile, monitors its Web site to prevent overly zealous Brinkley enthusiasts from posting any sexually suggestive comments. What will make it past the censors are compliments such as: "Christie Brinkley looks amazing -- methinks Billy Joel is kicking himself." And: "I want to congratulate you on still [looking] 18." And so do we.

Keep it up.... I'll give you another visual you'd rather not have. Who else do you lust after?

Our beloved Admin! Just TRY and give a bad visual of her. That way, you will be banned and "saggy...." will never be mentioned again!

Electric atmosphere at the Coliseum
4-26-2007 10:15:18

So everyone thanks for visiting my page, and I want to talk a bit about the Islanders here, even though it's all over. I was actually at the game versus Buffalo, Game 3 of the series – remember that heartbreaking one?

Well, first of all, just arriving at the arena, we knew that we were in the playoffs. The air was electric, the fans were super-charged, the arena was decked out, there were blue and orange balloons everywhere, and basically the whole operation was in playoff mode. As a new fan of the Islanders and of hockey, I’m beginning to notice that as a fan-base, hockey fans are a group all unto themselves. They have their distinct enthusiasm, and they definitely all got up for the playoffs. They’re very dedicated, and I think the Islanders especially are lucky to have such a loyal group of fans. Although I must say, as a mother, I did not believe it was right to throw bottles on the ice. Ice hockey seems to be a sports that attracts a lot of families, and a lot of kids, in addition to the male testosterone group – so there’s a lot of kids really into it. We’ve discussed before, as I don’t approve of the punching of the faces, but we’re all Islanders, so a little grace in our sportsmanship will go a long way to giving those kids the right sort of role models.

Anyway, just arriving there, I was so excited. And I was in a different seat than normal – usually I’m extremely lucky to be right up against the glass (which is just so thrilling because it's so loud you think the whole thing is going to come crashing into you). When I’m down there, I can’t help but have elevated levels of adrenaline. My new seat was amazing too; actually one of the guys that was walking me there was saying “this is a better seat because you can see every inch of the ice.” I was in a suite, and I was seated with a bunch of Islanders who weren’t dressing that night. I didn’t want to interrupt them too much from watching the game, but they were so nice and answered a lot of my questions. I kept saying to them “What’s going on now,” or “Why is he doing that?” They explained to me what is a penalty and what wasn’t. And I was even surprised there was a distinction. To me, everything looks like a penalty! It’s such a tough sport.

The Islanders in the suite with me were kind enough to explain a few things, like when we were on powerplays and why, so I felt like I am beginning to know what goes on. And it’s been a while since the game, but early on, I remember going in thinking: “Buffalo, hmmm…very cold with lots of ice. I don’t know if they have much to do outside of hockey up there so those guys are going to be really well-trained. They’ve grown up with the game and they’re going to be tough.” But to my surprise, the Islanders were right with them! I was surprised, I mean, I didn’t know we would be so well-matched. I remember we’re putting the pressure on their goaltender, and we’re keeping the pressure on them, putting all of these shots on their goalie and I thought “we’re going to get this one.” You could tell that those teams out there, they were going to go after everything, they weren’t going to cruise. I mean, it’s playoffs! They were going go 100%, hustle at every single second.

And it was no different in the crowd. It felt like there was always a murmur of people talking, people being excited and being completely into the game. In the place there was a buzz, this kind of feeling I guess people just get when the action is so exciting. It was probably also the sound of people saying “I can’t believe I actually got seats,” because nobody was going out to get beer or popcorn, everyone was staying in their seat and watching the game. Then when it was over, I noticed, the people had to stay in their seats and kind of feel bad about the loss before they could gather their energy to leave the building. In other games, when the game was over, everyone got up and vanished.

By the second intermission, I had moved out of my corner seat and I had moved up into the box. To be honest, there is something about ice hockey makes me crave salty pretzels and mustard, which are available in the box. So I was in search of the pretzels and the birds-eye view and then we just stayed there when the game started up again. Then when the fans began throwing things on the ice, we decided to stay up there, because with everyone getting so riled up we figured we’d just stay up there until everyone cleared out. I also remember at one point, I was looking down at the crowd, and everyone was so attentively leaning on their elbows, I got a view of the backs of everyone’s jerseys. I tried to take some pics from up there and if I get a chance I’ll upload them soon. It was cool to see who everyone liked – there were Yashin jerseys, Blakes, Satans, Smyths, and lots of DiPietros. Everyone loves DP, and I can’t blame them.

So DiPietro: I’ve been so worried about him with the two concussions, that it was really so reassuring to see his lightning-speed reactions are all intact. I think I mentioned that I got to meet his dad and brother the last time they were here, and his brother was at the last game, and his girlfriend was there, and I also met Witt’s wife and his two daughters. His wife was wearing her lucky hat, but since it didn’t work I guess she’ll have to get a new one. DiPietro, it’s a whole different thing when he’s out there. I mean, it’s just for me, but I think that when we’re watching DP we’re watching sports greatness, like he’s one of those people that, many years from now, you’ll say “I saw games when DP was playing, I saw his lightning reflexes first hand.” It’s incredible how he hustles and moves so quickly. One thing here, I can’t believe how the goalies can grab pucks out of the air. I guess it’s similar to pitchers, who grab balls that come flying back up at them in a split second, but it’s just amazing to see that up close.

And here I have a little story: I was standing by the glass this past weekend (my son is playing ice hockey and roller hockey), I stopped as the action came right by me to get my camera out of my purse. Well the puck hit the glass, it made this huge BANG! And I was so startled that I just had to think about the goalies themselves. If I was out there, my instinct would take over and I’d just have get out of the way – it’s counterintuitive what they do, they say to themselves “OK its coming 90 miles an hour but I’m getting in the way of it.” You couldn’t possibly train me into doing something like that. I was talking to DP about my son, because during the season he wants to be a hockey player. And DP said “just don’t let him be a goalie because it messes with your head.”

Haha.

So I’m so sad that the season is over! I can’t believe it. I mean, it started because my son was like “oh mom, oh mom we have to go to a game” and it’s really become a mother-son thing we do together. I’ve been trying to get my girls to come along, but so far I haven’t gotten them to come (which my son loves, because it means he gets to bring another friend along). My daughter Alexa is game to go, but she’s on tour right now, she’s an amazing musician who has followed in her dad’s footsteps. She’s inherited all his talent; she writes songs, sings, plays the piano, in fact she’s playing in the Chelsea Piers this June. And on May 9 she’s going to be on Jimmy Kimmel Live, so you can see she’s really doing great. She has her own website AlexaRayJoel.com, (she’s named after Ray Charles), and she’s on MySpace as Alexa Ray Joel. Anyway she wants to come to a game next season with me, one that isn’t while she’s off touring. I would definitely bring my other daughter Sailor, but I just can’t seem to get her interested.

So I have some pictures to post, but with the Islanders out this will be one of my final blogs : (. And I have to say that I’ve really enjoyed this, and that I must thank everyone who stopped by and especially to the people who left comments. In fact, if anyone has any questions please leave them and if I get time maybe I can answer some of them next week or so. I can't believe how much fun this was, you have all made me so happy!

Finally, the only other thing I have to say is this: remember to turn off the lights when you leave the room. We’re all Islanders, but we’re going to lose Long Island if we don’t stop global warming, and do it right now. LI will be one of the first places to go. So even if it’s this one thing you do, please remember to conserve energy, just by shutting off the lights as you leave the room – and only get compact fluorescent bulbs, so we can protect this world a little better.

Thank you all!! See you soon.

Go Islanders!
