Tragedy Strikes Toronto
Posted February 6, 2010
I am a father.
I have four children who are individually and collectively the biggest and brightest pieces of my life. I ache because I cannot do more for them. Sometimes, as children do, they can be testy and they can push me to my limits of patience. Sometimes I yell. Yet no matter what, these are my little flashes of light, and the joy they bring me is immeasurable. So too is the thought of... Read More »
Hurtin' Harding Deserves Respect.
Posted February 5, 2010

And they do just that.
Coach Stevens has juggled the lines a bit and thus far his chang... Read More »
Pens/Flyers Game Three: The View From Minnesota...
Posted May 13, 2008
Once again I took notes through the game and provide my opinions on what I saw here.
PERIOD ONE

I was expecting to be hearing the roof coming off regularly, and to be fair, the Pens getting the start they did... Read More »
