The Official site for International Talk Like A Pirate Day - September 19

Avast ye scurvy dogs! It's International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Have some fun with family, friends and co-workers by using some pirate vernacular today. You're sure to get some funny looks at lunch or dinner when you break out with "Well, me hearties, let’s see what crawled out of the bung hole." See the link for what that really means. LOL. Well me hearties, it's time for me to get back to work. Arrr!

Bowman leaves Wings for Blackhawks

Bowman leaves Wings for Blackhawks

It's been a quiet summer around here. This caught my eye today though. So long Scotty, we'll miss you. I can understand Scotty Bowman going to the Blackhawks. He'll get to work closely with his son. By now Scotty Bowman has probably taught Mike Babcock everything he possbily can anyway. Hopefully Scotty Bowman can make a positive impact on the Blackhawks organization, but not too positive ;) We wouldn't want the Blackhawks pushing the Red Wings too hard in the regular season now would we?

Red Wings win the Stanley Cup!

Highlights from game 6 of the Stanley Cup finals. The Red Wings win the Stanley Cup. Woot! I hope the Penguins fans enjoyed watching the Red Wings hoist the cup. I'm sure they will enjoy it even more in a year or two when the Penguins are hoisting the cup. The Red Wings were better this time. The Penguins have a great, young core moving forward and will challenge for the cup again.

This is it. No more hockey until next fall.


The Red Wings celebrating:

Red Wings/Penguins Game 5

Oh my. Who would've thought the Red Wings would come out flatter than yesterday's Vernors? For the first and second periods the Red Wings didn't look very good. Give the Penguins some credit, they came out flying and kept up the pace all night long. Under the new rules, speed is everything. Here's hoping the Red Wings can find their legs in time for game 6 Wednesday night in Pittsburgh.

Red Wings/Penguins Game 4 Highlights

Woot! The Red Wings lead the best of seven series 3-1 now. Monday night the Red Wings will have a chance to win the Stanley Cup on home ice. Game 4 was a close game but the Red Wings looked like they were in charge the whole time. Pittsburgh looked like they were having a tough time finding open space on the ice to work with. Go Wings!
