This Saturday, I will be hauling ass to Houston with Jeremy to catch game number two of the Calder Cup between our rival, the Aeros (proxy for the Minnesota Wild) try to bring the prize home against the Bimington Senators (proxy for Ottawa).
I haven’t been to the Energy City (that’s the nickname it had in Rollerball, the original, not the atrocious remake) for several years. Although there won’t be time to take in the sites, I will get to have an unhealthy and delicious dinner of James Coney Island. If you know what they serve, then the Senators who get sent to the penalty box will regret me sitting nearby, heh heh.
Meanwhile, the inevitability on the Thrashers moving to Canada keeps a rollin’. Yesterday, I saw a piece with Atlanta’s mayor sounding pretty resigned to the team’s sale to an ‘outside’ interest. Sorry dude, hockey just doesn’t belong in diehard NASSS-CAHR turf. Hockey News must also be congratulating itself over its prediction on Vancouver going to the Stanley Cup championship. The Eastern Conference continues to drag out between Boston and Tampa. I still give the edge to the Bruins yet I’m impressed by the Lightning after how lame they’ve been after the lockout.
Looking forward to making a couple posts from the Gulf Area. Fear not (or maybe remove the ‘not’), I plan to keep doing a little before we hit the road in a couple days.
