A collection of random thoughts, many of them about ice hockey . . .
The Predators will look back on this season and think, “we played the wrong guy in net.” Dan Ellis should be the No. 1 man there, provided he can maintain his weight all year (what a strange story that is).
My dog came inside 10 minutes ago and had snow on him. The never-ending winter in Michigan continues. And it’s been a career-year for the flu, too.
When Ryan Whitney is getting moved all around the ice in Pittsburgh, it’s pretty clear Michel Therrien isn’t too happy with his defensive play. Let’s hope we don’t have another Marc-Andre Bergeron case on our hands.
I know the Big East Tournament Record was a mess, but Providence Basketball let a good man go in Tim Welsh. PC’s loss could be ESPN’s gain – I heard Welsh on the radio Wednesday night and he was fantastic.
I can’t give the MVP to anyone but Alexander Ovechkin (I don’t care where the team ends up), but Evgeni Malkin’s No. 2 on my ballot. Get this right, voters.
The older I get, the more condiments I have in my fridge.
It seems like a major demotion when Brian Gionta plays the third line in New Jersey, but John Madden has more offensive talent than you think.
The original six teams still have the best sweaters in the game, by far, though I don’t like the direction the Bruins have moved in of late.
Here’s my highway plea bargain - drive as crazy as you want, but give me a chance to react – use your freaking blinker, okay? And one more thing, jerky – just because you’ve got that cheesy NASCAR logo on your car, it doesn’t mean you’re gunning for the pole.
Take Johnny Marr away from Morrissey and I’m just not that interested anymore, past a handful of songs.
Sean Hill’s the same guy he’s always been – handy on offense, suspect on defense. He’s playing now in Minnesota out of necessity (and scoring), but I can’t imagine we’ll see a happy ending.
Anyone who visits New York City and wants to eat at a chain restaurant doesn’t get it.
Here’s all you need to know about how great satellite radio is – I’ve lived in the Detroit area for seven years and the only AM/FM station in the area I can identify is the channel that has the Red Wings. You figure it out.
Good to see Dwayne Roloson relevant again – he’s always been a solid guy and an underrated talent. Timing has never been his friend – consider the knee injury he suffered in the 2006 finals.
Why does every flight attendant think she’s Sarah Silverman these days? I settle into 17C and I feel like I’m on the Gong Show without the hammer.
It’s not like we planned it this way, but it seems like most of my good friends like Beck.
Washington’s Nicklas Backstrom is having a heck of a year without a lot of fanfare.
Bobby Orr, 60. Just doesn’t feel right. Of course, his knees are 147.
When they come out with an upgraded version of a DVD, you should be allowed to trade in the stripped version for a discount on your new purchase. But since that’s never going to happen, I’m starting to treat first releases like that first showcase on “The Price Is Right” – no thanks, I’ll wait for the next one.
Why are there more hyphenated names in the NHL as opposed to the other major sports? Maybe I’m over-thinking this.
The New York toll takers have consistently been nicer to me than the New Jersey ones. Just sayin’.
Maybe it’s Northern Snobbery but it seems like justice to me for both Florida teams to miss the playoffs. That said, I can’t figure out how Tampa Bay became the worst team in the Eastern Conference.
I’ve given this a lot of thought and here are the three most overrated bands of all time, per The Ferris Wheel: 3. Smashing Pumpkins (even as I like much of “Siamese Dream”); 2. Jane’s Addiction (I tried, I really did, but I just don’t see it); 1. The Eagles (and no one is even remotely close on that one).
Your list is different? That’s what makes our country great. Just stay away from my I-Pod.
