The One For the Thumb (AKA Games 12-20)
So my Steelers won Super Bowl XL. Going to the parade tomorrow...That should be sweet. I've watched the Darrell Jackson play about 20 times. Still looks like interference to me. No, it was interference. It was a stupid play, among many by Seattle, yet they want to blame it on the refs. That's why the Seahawks will never be a champion. Not with Holmgren there. In '01 Kordell Stewart said that the best team lost in the AFC Championship...If you have that kind of a mentality, you'll never have what it takes to rise up. Holmgren rode one of the greatest QBs to his one Championship. He's nothing without Favre - he's nothing now. I like Hasselbeck. I like Alexander. But their fans and their coach are whinos, and don't deserve a team this good. Good job, Seahawks. Seattle, on the other hand, can go to hell. They don't deserve what they have. If the Browns were that good, at least I'd know they'd be appreciated by fans with some class. That says more about Seattle than Cleveland.
Now, on to the mass of hockey that consumed my (and Nate's) Saturday night:
It was a good night. Ups and downs for both of us. I swatted Nate in the first game, before he went on a 4 game run to eventually tie the series. I pulled back ahead late, but the series is closer than the game total belies.
Game 12: N.Y. Rangers (Andy) 5 vs. Minnesota 0. (Worst team [sic] evar)
Game 13: Toronto (Nate) 3 vs. Dallas 2.
Game 14: Anaheim (Nate) 7 at Minnesota 3. (Dan Bylsma had 2 goals...So yeah, Minnesota is the worst team "evar" (ever).)
Game 15: Montreal (Nate) 5 vs. Detroit 4 - Overtime. (First OT game of the series. I was up 4-3 with 4.7 seconds left. And lost. I've been better about losses.)
Game 16: Columbus (Nate) 2 at Florida 1 (Shots: Florida 21, Columbus 7. Ugh.)
Game 17: Canada (Andy) 5 at Czech Republic 1 (Announcer quote of the series: "And the backhander would not have gone wide had it not changed its course in mid-flight." Good call.)
Game 18: New Jersey (Nate) 6 at Los Angeles 4.
Game 19: Montreal (Andy) 4 at Boston 1.
Game 20: N.Y. Rangers (Andy) 3 vs. N.Y. Rangers (Nate) 0. (Yes. That's right. I beat the Rangers with the Rangers. I also outscored my opponents 8-0 with the Rangers. I like 'em. I like 'em alot.)
This is the first weekend of the year with no legal writing to do. That means a lot more hockey to come. Oh yeah.
Totals:
Game - Andy 11, Nate 9
Goals - Andy 69, Nate 58
