A PSA for Montreal

Hot off the presses over at Tea Party Throwdown by Boston’s very own Sarah Connors!

I bet you all thought I’d forgotten about this, didn’t you?

No, as much as I’d like to pretend that I never wore a barberpole striped Carey Price jersey during the mother of all Bruins games, the Winter Classic – I did, and I am ashamed. What I’m not ashamed of, though, is the fact that we’re still raffling this mother off. Yes, the Epic Charity Wager is still very much alive and kicking unlike the Bruins this year.

You all have until March 20th, the date of the East Meets West Habs Tweetup in Montreal, QC, at which time a winner will be selected. Raffle tickets are $5 each (and don’t worry, those of you who donated previously – I’ve got your names all written down).

This is your chance to win a Carey Price barberpole jersey for as little as a $5 contribution toward Hockey Fights Cancer!

Raffle tickets will be on sale at the tweetup! Look for the tall brunette drinking cream ale.

Tweetup is March 20 at Ye Olde Orchard pub. Details are here!

Sarah looks as glorious as Les Glorieux here

Tonight,

I was lucky enough to attend MFL 2: Battleground, thanks to the guys at Ringside Report. This was only Mixed Fight League’s second event, and they drew in a huge crowd and created a lot of buzz around their fight card.

Please see below my video reaction to the event + The Fight Network’s video preview for this event.

Full results of the fights can be found here.

Fight News: MFL 2: Battleground Preview

My night at MFL 2 Battleground!

Wow, the editing SUUUUCKS but it’s my first attempt and it’s too late & I’m too tired to start over so whatever. Just watch it anyway.

Very quick MMA predictions once again… I just bought myself a new camera & toyed around with the options and stuff. The music in the background is Get Up (instrumental) by 50 Cent. It’s my go-to music to get pumped for MMA events… don’t ask why, it just is. Not sure if I like the music, might be a bit too obnoxious, but anyway. YEAH. WAR SARAH!

Oh la la. Commences the countdown to his fight on March 27. Get ready to see A LOT of GSP everywhere.
