the Pittsburgh Penguins
My brother is supposedly a die-hard Penguins fan. While watching the Detroit-Anaheim game, we got into a discussion about how they changed it so you can have your skate in the crease along with your stick and everything else, and I mentioned some of the other changes they made to open the game up (like two line passes and the trapezoid behind the ( Read more... ) -
Concert!
Tonight I went to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. You may ask "what kind of audience can a rock band with an orchestra name who plays classical and Christmas music pull?" The answer is very simple, if in multiple parts ( Read more... ) -
For those about to rock...

the reappearance of Anna K, Manny being Manny, and the Flyers Last Stand

This naturally got me thinking: what would be the most fun you could have in fifteen minutes with Anna K. on the phone (and no comments from the peanut gallery, Mr. Federov)...
