Men Who Plan Beyond Tomorrow!

Seagram's whiskey predicted the world we live in today.

Sorry Red Wings

I never should have blogged on hockey. Never never never. I open my big mouth and what happens? The Wings lose three in a row to the impressive Ducks and are knocked out of the playoffs.

I think I owe everyone in Detroit an apology.

Good luck to the Ducks against the Sens. It should be exciting to see the crowds in Canada going nuts.

Monday Mundane Meh

News in brief:

• Red Wings lose at home on two unlucky goals. Backs are against the wall.
• Heroes finale tonight - will we learn how to stop an exploding man?
• "Mirrored" by Battles looks like the next must have.

Red Wings 3 Ducks 5

As predicted the Ducks rebounded with a vengeance. That's what I get for blogging about hockey. I inevitably hex the team I pick to win. Alas.

The Wings had some opportunities in the early going, but once Anaheim took the 4-3 lead you could tell that Detroit had no chance of mounting another comeback.

So it's all tied up with Detroit returning to home ice. It's hard to imagine that this series won't go 7 games.

Red Wings Hockey

I am rooting for the Redwings to beat the Ducks tonight and move one game closer to the Stanley Cup finals. Their style of play reminds me of the tight defensive minded games you saw before the strike upended the NHL.

However, the Ducks are at home, most likely very angry about the 5-0 loss on Tuesday, and they are tough. I just hope Holmstrom doesn't suffer like he did in game three. Yikes. (As a side note I thought it was remarkable that there were NO fights in the third quarter of that game. Wasn't that SOP in the old days when there was a blowout? Get everyone fired up for the next game? Ask yourself, What Would Claude Lemieux Do?)

In the eastern series it was good that Buffalo finally got a game, but I think the Sens will take the series. Then it will be The Entire Nation of Canada vs. Hockeytown in the finals!
