Welcome Back my Friends to the Show That Never Ends…
I sat down a few nights ago and watched game 6 from beginning to end…for the 24th time. It was the first time I didn’t cry at the end (what a pussy, right?) although my eyes welled up a little… Read More ›

L.A. Kings @ San Jose Sharks. The Last. The First.
The NHL regrets to inform you that there has been a scheduling error. The playoffs start tonight. It is of no consequence what the Phoenix Coyotes do. They play a too little, too late “hot” Minnesota Wild team that skates… Read More ›
San Jose Beats Kings 6-5. Grab A Beer. We’ll Be A While…
It’s not my custom to grab a beer once I get home at 11:45 after a game. Typically, I walk around the house, unwind and go to bed. Tonight, that won’t happen. I know I won’t have a voice tomorrow…. Read More ›
