5.12 - The One with the upside down Def guy

So last night's season opener for my Wings didn't go as planned. Sure we raised the Stanley Cup banner...but we lost to the Leafs...ouch. We played pretty sloppy though...solid game for those Leaves. Anyways, someone from the NHL thought it would be a great idea if they had Def Leppard concert after the game to kick off the new season. I think the concert idea was great...but Def Leppard? Not sure that they go well with hockey. Then when Darren McCarty & Kyle Quincey from the Wings came out on stage with the Stanley Cup...McCarty handed it over to Def Leppard's lead singer Joe Elliot who hoisted the Cup up...and proceed to place the holy grail of hockey upside down on the pedestal...



Note to the NHL...book a Canadian band next time...

4.74 - The One with the 11th Cup

Detroit Red Wings...Nicklas Lidstrom...2008 Stanley Cup Champions...'nuff said

4.73 - The One with Numnah

34.7 seconds...34.7 SECONDS!!! That's the difference between going back to Pittsburgh for game 6 and hoisting the Cup in victory. Then came the 3 OT's and the heart breaking Penguins goal. I guess we still have 2 more shots at winning the Cup. Let's Go Wings!

Anyone catch the National Spelling Bee? I saw that it was on TSN on Friday...TSN...short for The Sports Network. I didn't know spelling was a sport. I think they should have a Gaming Network where they show Poker, Billiards, Darts, Dog Shows, and spelling bees. Keep that other stuff off of the sports channels. That being said...this clip was from the ABC broadcast...

I picked up Wii Fit today...probably going to get my butt kicked by it...I might need a numnah after this...

4.72 - The One with 1 more win

crazy weekend...Friday night, a few of us headed up to the 'Shwa to Neb's Fun World...and let me tell you...it's one fun world. I found out that I really do suck at bowling. I'll stick to Wii Bowling...cuz I'm a pro on that one. Saturday we played a pretty good game of softball. I'm saying a pretty good game because my team obliterated the opposition. I know it was supposed to be a 'fun' game of pickup...but...that doesn't mean I'm not going to keep my own stats. Batted 1.000 with 2 doubles and a single. Scored 3 runs with 5 RBI's. Played a good defensive game at my usual position at second base. Although during the second game we played...I was out in left field when Adam hit am inside the park home run because I failed to make the highlight reel shoestring catch. Oh well...that's why I don't play in the outfield.

Yesterday was my brother's birthday and my parent's threw him a surprise party...good times...he had no idea. Not he's 18...legal age to...vote and by lottery tickets. I remember when I turned 18...man I'm old. My back is killing me too...I took some Robax Platinum before work today...now I'm feeling drowsy...oops.

One more thing...my Red Wings have a chance to close out the series and win their 4th Stanley Cup in 11 years tonight. LET'S GO WINGS!!

4.71 - The One with Pork and Beans

Have you seen the new Weezer video? It's pretty sweet. They got a bunch of viral internet stars like the Numa Numa guy, the Mentos - Diet Coke fountains, the Afro Ninja, and even our favourite Chocolate Rain singer - Tay Zonday. If you loved those viral videos...you have to see this one.

game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals goes tonight...Wings are up 2 games to none...AND 7 goals to none. How you like dem apples?

4.70 - The One with the fall

Did you catch game one of the Stanley Cup finals last night? My Red Wings handed it to the Pens 4-0. One win down...three to go. The funniest moment came just as the Penguins were coming out of the dressing room for the pre-game and the goalie, Marc Andre Fleury ran out onto the ice and just ate it. His pad caught the door and he faceplanted into the ice. Not a great start for the Pens. Imagine if he got hurt? That would be even more embarrasing. Check out the video:

Also checked out the new Indiana Jones movie yesterday. It was really good for the most part. I won't spoil it, you'll have to watch it for yourself...but it was great to see Harrison Ford put the fedora and whip back on. Next up...The Dark Knight...can't wait

4.69 - The One with the finals

Ok we've waited long enough...drop the puck already. If all goes well, I'll see my Wings lift the Cup soon. GO WINGS!

I'm checking out the new Indiana Jones movie later today before the game...I'll let you know how it is...

4.66 - The One with the Japanese version

after a scare by the Dallas Stars...my Detroit Red Wings finally disposed of them in game 6 en route to the Stanley Cup finals to meet up with Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins. Should be a great series...Sid the kid is probably the best player in the league...I think this is the match up the NHL wanted to see for the finals.

Went to see The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian last night. It was pretty good...much darker than the first film though. I don't remember much from reading the book when I was a kid, but I think that they took a few more liberties with the story than the first movie. I enjoyed it...next movie to see: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Anyone catch SNL this weekend? Steve Carrell was the host and it was hilarious. Check out the Digital Short before NBC pulls it from the internet.
