    Anyone watching the Stanley Cup?

    While I have been watching out of a sense of tradition, not loyalty for either of the teams, IMO last night's game was one of the better contests in a while. Grit, determination, generally solid defensive positional play for both teams. Too bad it ended on such a miscue...

    This year's hockey playoffs have been the most entertaining installment of recent years - probably since the Rangers won in 1994? Even better than March Madness!
    WOW...usually when my teams lose early I quit watching, but I was hooked this year.

    World Cup is great too though, Brazil is obviously the favorite, but don't count out England and even Germany! There's always surprises - like the US getting it handed to them...

    I'm rooting for Australia as my underdog team this year.

    I wish. Alas, it's not to be.

    Yeah, geez, that looked like a first round NCAA basketball tournament game where the #1 seed blows out the #16. Does the US even stand a chance against Italy?

    Hadn't been keepin' up with Stanley Cup. As a sports fan, generally, I usually know at least which round they're in, etc. I'm ashamed to say I'm clueless so far this year.

    Carolina looks to be winning the Stanley Cup this year, up 3-2 over Edmonton (was 3-1 until last night)....First Cup for the Hartford/Carolina franchise if the pull it off.

    Croatia was no slouch team, so there's no shame losing - just shame losing the way we lost. Sometimes these big setbacks turn into the pathway to great things. And no, I don't see any chance against Italy. But then, I picked US over Croatia so what do I know?

    It looked like the US didn't even have a game plan to execute. Several players have been called out, but I'm wondering whether Bruce Arena is the only guy in the US who knows anything about coaching soccer.

    I've been watching the Stanley Cup games. It's been a great series! Unfortunately, due to a family BBQ commitment, we weren't able to tune into last nights game until about halfway through the third period.

    Monday night is our wedding anniversary (12 happy years). We've already cancelled our dinner reservations so that we can hit the pub to watch The Game instead. The big fancy-pants dinner will have to wait until next weekend...when, hopefully, we can expand the celebration to include an Edmonton win!

    That's dedication, FA--gotta love it. Up to this point, I have been without preference as both teams have young goalies, talented rookies, and some veterans chasing their first cup. I'll go ahead and lend my hopes and wishes to Edmonton ( and whatever the hell karma that'll get you); maybe you'll have another cause for celebration. Happy anniversary.

    Cheers
