Playoff fever |
It's been a LONG time since I wrote a hockey blog, so I guess I'm due, huh? Who could have possibly predicted the Penguins would meet the Red Wings two years in a row in the Cup Finals? It's not set i...

The Fall Ball |
Tonight was one of the best nights of my life, and I couldn't have written it better myself. It felt like a movie, but couldn't be scripted. We rented Bear's Den Cabin in Mill Creek Park. It really le...

Skate Drama and the Charity Classic |
If you tuned in last time, here's an update on my skates. I ordered a pair by Rollerblade. They were pretty and in Penguins colors. They were worthless. Heavy, slow and soft booted. Turns out I was sp...

The universe is against me |
While I spend most of my blogs hockey talking, I've mentioned from time to time my own addiction to skating. Working 40 hours a week in public service, I NEED my skating time. At least 48 miles a week...

Off-Season Blues |
Normally at this time of year, I have the warm, sunny weather to distract me from sad, panic-inducing things like no hockey on TV and trades. It's around this time of year that the team I've loved all...

Still Number 1 to Me |
Game 6: Sykora nearly got the first goal of this game, but it didn't go in. Sarge is playing. I'm grateful but scared for him. The extent of his injuries will only be known after this is all over, so ...

LETS GO PENS |
Game 5: It's so disheartening to be back in Detroit down 3-1. Now more than ever, Flower needs to be perfect. We started out with two penalties. I feel a Black and White and Red All Over joke is in he...

Down But Not Out |
Game 4: We got the first goal not far into the 1st period, but the Wings tied it up about 8 minutes in. Tempers are rising here, and that's good. It makes us play better and them play worse : Second p...

Here Comes the Comeback! |
Game 3: Finally in Mellon Arena. Well, the game is, but I'm watching from home. Almost half way through the 1st, and it's scoreless, but frustrating. Even at home we can't seem to hold onto the puck. ...

Two Down |
Game 2: Gary Roberts is back, thank God. This was his third bout of pneumonia, and that scares me. Who is a bigger health nut than Roberts? He's famous for it. 7 minutes into the 1st the Wings scored....
