Okay my niece Emily had to get after me to update my blog. So here goes. As I have mentioned in previous posts I am a hockey fan, I guess one could say that I am a huge hockey fan. This year was great for hockey especially being a Pittsburgh Penguins fan. They made it to The Stanley Cup Finals, and while they lost the cup to a team that will not be mentioned here, they still out played them. You will understand this if you watched game 5 the one that ended only after a triple overtime. In the last 30 seconds Maxim Talbot scored for The Pens to tie the game and send it in to the first overtime. I must admit that I did not think that they had a prayer but little did I know who was in net for us. Every time the other team had a shot on net it was denied by Fleury. Then in the middle of the 2nd overtime Petr Sykora said to the reporter sitting by the players bench that he was going to score the winning goal. I instantly thought that he had jinxed the game, and almost turned it off so that I would not watch them lose. I did not however and I am so glad that I watched until the end. Petr Sykora did just what he said he would do, yep he scored the winning goal. This game has landed itself on my Ipod and number 2 on my all time great hockey games list. The first one this list is, of course the 1980 men's hockey team beating The Russians at the 1980 olympics. Can anyone say that this was not the greatest moment is sports history. Okay, now that I have spewed about how great I think Hockey is I can move on to other things, or maybe not because that game 5 has been the most exciting thing in my life lately. So, until next time. Adios.
