Three.More.Wins!
Let me preface this post by saying that I do not think it will happen. Only once in the history of the Stanley Cup Finals has a team come back from a 0-3 deficit… the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs came back and beat the Detroit Red Wings. While I like the idea of making history…

Prioritization
A friend has been on a mission to help a student with a problem. I know about it because they called me for help with a small portion of the issue, and so, to use the intelligence community’s term, I have been read in. The problem is a daunting one; overcoming it for the student…

Do or Die
Tonight is Montreal’s last chance… after lackluster performance on Friday, we are at a point where we have to win every game… or it’s over. I was not encouraged by the statistics going into Friday’s game. Of the fifty-five times a Stanley Cup Finals (SCF) series has gone 2-0, the team that was ahead has…

Campbell vs. The Prince of Wales…
Since 1923, the Prince of Wales Trophy has been awarded for different accomplishments since its donation to hockey in 1925. From 1923-27 it was awarded to the NHL Playoffs champions (pre-Stanley Cup). In those four seasons, a Montreal team won it three out of four times (Montreal Canadiens 1924 & 25, Montreal Maroons 1926). It…

Game Three
We got our hats handed to us by a better team in our Game 1 loss to Tampa. We outplayed Tampa in Game 2, but we were thwarted by an unbelievable performance by their goaltender. As I sit here looking forward to the weekend, I am excited that this evening’s Game 3 between the Montreal…

Tough Loss
Last night the Montréal Canadiens fell 5-1 to Tampa. It was a difficult game to watch. They will regroup, and come back strong on Wednesday. They will also come back angry – Tampa outplayed them for sure, but they also played dirty. Players left the ice bloody, and seeing that will make them mad. Tomorrow…

Game Night!
I have a number of Facebook contacts who spend a lot of time posting their political beliefs, both on their own page and, by way of comments (and some diatribes), on mine. While I do not agree with a lot of these beliefs, my position has always been that as a guest in the United…

Another Hockey Post
By now we know who Montreal will face in the final round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. I have a little secret for you: I don’t know. Why, you may ask? I seldom (if ever) sit down at my computer on the weekends if I can help it. Oh sure, there are times when I…

Four More Wins…
It would be hard to explain to people just how emotional I have been over the Cinderella story that has been the Montreal Canadiens’ playoff run. It would be harder still for most to understand, knowing that I am not an avid sports fan, and that during the regular season I watched a grand total…

Two Years Ago…
The morning of June 23, 2019 I woke up early. I do not remember much about it, but I know that we arrived at PetSmart in Beverly Hills three hours early for the adoption clinic. You see, Sophie had come into my life as a foster-to-adopt doggie, even though we knew from the very beginning…
