The boys are back...

Hockey is back. The Wings took the ice last night as distinct favorites; and I had to sit at a scouts meeting. So, while I DVR'd the game to watch little kids instead, I still knew THE GAME was back.

Upon returning home to take control of my TV - I watch the game. This lasted all the way to late in the third period - where I see Maltby tie it up with 6:17 left...and the DVR stopped. Dang thing only recorded 2.5 hours...the game was over, but I only knew it was tied with time on the clock. Immediately, I rush to the computer...to find my boys had taken a barn burning 1-0 series lead on an unlikely goal by Maltby in double overtime.

So, adrenaline is high. Add to that the Pistons begin their march Sunday, same day as game two in this series, and I am a serious sports addict. For the next two months, I'm glued...

Welcome back boys!!!

Go Detroit! Although, I'm rooting for the Cavs a little too. Do you think Larry Brown is regretting going to the Knicks? :)

Deep breath. Especially since you posted this AFTER the Wings loss today, so I know you aren't rooting for the right team.

As to the next part, I'm pulling for 'Bron to make it too round two before getting shown the door as well.

Now on with the question...I don't think Larry is regretting his payday, and even if he was, he'll just get sick and go to the next team. He really did know what he's getting into, but he's pulling for not just the coaching job, but Zeke's GM spot too. So, at the next Rangers playoff game, there should be FIRE THOMAS!!! and FIRE BROWN!!! or even better, WHAT CAN BROWN DO FOR YOU?!?! signs...
