Random Hockey Thoughts
So, the hockey today is not up to the hockey day before yesterday. We’re mostly watching the Dallas-Anaheim game, and it just doesn’t have the speed, the intensity, the moves, or the hits of either of the game sevens on tuesday. It a way, it’s almost lethargic. We watched about half a period of the Jersey-Tampa game, and it was similar. Maybe it’s just the difference between a game 1 and a game 7, maybe it’s just different teams, but it’s nowhere near as fun hockey.
Of course, I’m horribly dissappointed that Detroit lost already. But, now that they’re gone, I’m quite impartial with respect to the teams left. I tend to root for whichever team has more Michigan players. That’s about as good a system as any.
It never ceases to amaze me that an arena can have basketball one night, and hockey the next. That’s an amazing amount of ice being frozen in a remarkably small amount of time. It must be quite expensive in terms of refrigeration energy.
The scores on the bottom of the screen on ESPN are sponsored by Sun. I wonder what Sun has to do with hockey? Are geeks known for their love of sports?
Dallas is looking pretty bad tonight. They’re pretty much getting creamed, and unless they turn it on soon, they’re going to lose bad. Detroit didn’t look this bad once. No wonder they’re getting boo’d.
I wonder if Zederberg can win the Rookie of the Year award with Detroit going out in the first round? I think he deserves it, but I’m sure that fans of other teams feel the same way about their rookies.
