The REAL reason we go to games

Columbus Blue Jackets

*** Update ***

Surprise, surprise!!! Mase got snubbed for the All-Star game. Nasher got in (kudos). Mase is HUGE in goal for us. He has forced teams we play against to plan for him as well as Nash. This years A.S. game has reached new heights in contrived "All-Stars". The All-Star game should be a showcase for the leagues BEST players, not the most popular ones.

Mase !!!

Number 1 in your programs and number one in your hearts!!! Steve Mason is the reason this team is sitting where it's at in regards to the playoff picture. He gives this team a chance to win every time he steps on the ice. This kid (I can call him a kid... he's only 20!) has the heart of a lion and the hockey smarts and vision of a very veteran player in this league. He doesn't seem to let anything bother him. He also doesn't allow too many "sloppy" goals.

Somehow, I'm pretty sure he'll get snubbed for the All-Star game (the "game" is a joke anyway). He's my leading candidate for the Calder Trophy aand if he keeps playing at this pace, he'll be my candidate for the Vezina Trophy as well.

Tough Loss...

... Against a very hungry St. Louis Blues team. They hadn't won in a while and it showed. What also showed was the fact that we have a depleted team due to injuries. That, and the fact of playing three games in four nights (not an excuse, just an observation) didn't help matters any. It takes a team to win and also to lose. Put this one in the memory banks and move on. Red Wings on Tuesday, so geet your rest guys!!!

More, more, more...

New year, new pics

Another year has come and gone, along with another trip to the Buckeye from my kids. Xmas was a blast, as always with them. Two days later we celebrated Paiges' birthday. And the next day we all went to Nationwide Arena for the Harlem Globetrotters game. They were wide eyed, as they had never been in an arena that big.




The CBJ are on a tear right now behind the amazing goaltending of rookie Steve Mason. They play tonight in Colorado, going for four wins in a row. Carry the Flag !!!

My team, Chelsea FC, are second on the tables of the Premiership. C'mon Chelsea!!!
