As I type this, the Pittsburgh Penguins are up 2-1 on the Detroit Red Wings in the second period of Game 5 of the Stanley Cup playoffs. This makes me happy. If the Wings come back to win, they'll win the Cup and the hockey season will be officially over. This makes me sad.I'm cheering […]

My predictions for the final this year are Flames over Tampa Bay in a re-match of 2004 with the right team winning this time. Pace is picking the Ducks repeating as […]
