GAME 7, BABY! The Senators and the Penguins face off tonight to decide who gets to meet the Predators in the Final. I know the playoffs are not meant to be included in the voting for end of season player trophies, but Craig Anderson’s performance during the playoffs while supporting his wife through her fight with cancer (f*** cancer!) seem all be assured to garner him the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy.
Personally, my instinct is to root against the more successful team, probably a side effect of growing up supporting Minnesota teams, so I’m pulling for the Senators, but it should be a good game regardless of the outcome. Game 7s are always good as both teams find themselves back against the wall.
Give today’s music a listen. It’s a cover of Sweet Child O’ Mine by a bunch of Pakistani musicians and the extra instrumentation as well as the flat out impressive vocals give what was already a high energy song a big boost.
