I can't but help feel partially responsible for last nights loss. I missed the game almost entirely. About the only portion of last nights action I did see was when I stepped out from the kitchen to find the refs reviewing some weird non-goal that actually ended up being a goal. How odd was that?
A goofy circumstance to be sure, but I'm sure at least nobody around these parts was complaining. A gift from the hockey gods, Lord Stanley be praised!
Today, we're bringing it back to the old school with some music that while riotous, spawned all sorts of evil to crop up (I'm looking at you Fred Durst).

As you may or may not be aware, last year I participated in the Polar Plunge. If you are unfamiliar with this event what it is is basically a fundraiser which benefits the Special Olympics of Minnesota. Well it's about that time of year again. I have once again registered to take the plunge. That's right sports fans! For your money, I will leave my perfectly warm home, and jump into a hole the cut in the ice on lake Calhoun. I had an absolute blast doing this last year, although the "steam room" that was promised post jump was not steamy at all, and in fact was just really a place to get out of the wind. So, if you have a few extra bucks laying around, the Special Olympics of Minnesota would be happy to take it off your hands. Click here to make your donation. Thank you in advance for your generosity!
