Friday and Saturday, all rolled into one.

Things that need to end with a quickness: 15-minute warmups. What is this, Boston? Things that need to start with a quickness: Some kind of score summary on the Jumbotron at the start of the second and third periods. This weekend, Providence faced two teams we don't hardly ever get to see: the Rockford Ice Hogs (Chicago), and the Rochester Americans (Buffalo & Florida). Friday's game was against Rockford. I have a very bad habit of not knowing who we are playing until I show up at the game, and even then, it's not guaranteed I'll know who we're playing...

Here We Go Again...Bruins vs Flyers

On Monday night the Boston Bruins took on the Philadelphia Flyers at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia. It was the first time the two teams met since the hit by Randy Jones that has sidelined the Bruins Patrice Bergeron indefinitely. With what I am sure were emotions flying high, the Bruins took the ice with goaltender Tuukka Rask in net. This was Rask's second NHL start, and with a little help from his teammates, his second NHL win. (CONGRATULATIONS!!!!) Alas I did not have the pleasure of watching the game as instead I kidnapped Cheri and took her on an...

Wednesday pastiche.

So I get all, "Internets, I'm going to write to you EVERY (week) DAYYYYY this month!" ... and then I disappear. I'm sorry internets. Sometimes life has a way of getting in the way of my hockey addiction. After going to Portland and back on Saturday, I went to Boston on Sunday, because my boys (the Sens, this time) were in town. Unlike Saturday's game, though, Sunday's was a bit of a snoozefest. Providence and Portland both skated and skated hard for 60 minutes on Saturday. On Sunday, not so much with the 60 minutes, at least on Ottawa's part....

Providence 2, Manchester 1

Quick notes; details later: Manchester's giveaway tonight was a tiny replica of their Atlantic Conference banner. There was huge fanfare about unveiling it. Sad that it will hang lonely in the rafters for many years to come. I just want to go on record RIGHT NOW and state that those new jerseys? They are some of the ugliest that I have ever seen. Thumbs down for the new jersey design. Blech. Providence scored first, Manchester tied it up. Rask looked pretty solid in net, and if he's going to continue to play this well for the rest of the season,...

Preseason Bruins vs Leafs....Just As I Remembered

So any doubts I had about being ready for hockey season to start...out the window! Any illusions about trying to find a balance between hockey and the rest of the things I have going on...out the window. I am now on a mission to find a way to do it all...and live through it! What has brought about this change in attitude? That would be the head first jump into the hockey world at the Boston Bruins vs Toronto Maple Leafs preseason game. Cheri, Jess S., and I teamed up to work the game where we met up with Jenna...
