The Polar Bears gave a good fight last night against the Blizzard but ended up coming up short, losing 4-1. We played a strong game, but, despite a lot of time in the offensive zone, we couldn’t get pucks into the net. In reality, this score should be 2-1. Two of the Blizzard goals were [...]
It’s been another exciting NHL playoff season for me as my two favorite teams advanced and advanced to come together again in the Stanley Cup finals. For the past two weeks, the Detroit Red Wings and Pittsburgh Penguins have battled it out. Tonight it game down to Game 7. Yes, I wanted to see Detroit [...]

Maybe I jinxed my teams with my Wednesday post about sweeping the conference finals. Detroit and Pittsburgh failed to complete their series on Wednesday and Thursday. Detroit played game 5 yesterday and gave up a second game to Dallas (why, Detroit, why?!?) This afternoon in the Eastern Conference game 5, Pittsburgh scored a definitive 6-0 [...]
