Detroit Red Wings!


The Wings made it to the playoffs on the skin of their teeth!  22 seasons in a row!!
Since they are playing the Anaheim Ducks, it is going to be some late nights in our house.

Are you a life-long, die-hard sports fan? Which team?
Go Red Wings!!

Last day of the regular season

Today is the last day of the NHL's regular season. Excited for the playoffs, but sad that hockey is over. The mighty Red Wings are in! In fact they have the longest post season appearance record in all professional sports - 20 years!!
Our home team did not make the playoffs :) They had a chance and then they started to stink. The team is up for sale and there is talk of moving them to Winnipeg. Fans hoped that if they made it to the playoffs, talk of moving to Winnipeg would disappear.....I guess we will just have to see what the summer brings.
These are some pictures of the last game we went to. They played the league's best team and kept up with them, so the game was fun. Unfortunately, a go-ahead goal in the third period sealed the win to the visitors. The stands emptied, including us.
It's getting hot in here... This jerky dad in our row told his kids to sit down during O'Canada - "We don't stand for other country's anthems!" I really wanted to yell at the a-hole "If it were not for Canada, you wouldn't be at this game!!" Half of the roster is Canadian. Jerk!!

Honorary pee-wee 7th man - a goalie. He looked so cute in his pads. Mini-me!

Hockey Night in

Canada...I mean in the Southeast!

I love Hockey. I am a die hard Detroit Red Wings fan!! My family is from Detroit, so naturally I love all things Detroit. Red Wings, Tigers, Lions, Pistons, and the of course the might University of Michigan Wolverines!
I wanted desperately to go to Michigan for college and was accepted for both undergrad and grad school, but wiser voices prevailed. Michigan cost lots of money and the two schools I went to were free! 3 degrees, zero student loans!! I digress....

This past Saturday, we went with some friends to the hockey game.
Warm-ups
No game is complete without a fight!!

The home team was winning 3-1, but then it was tied up 3-3 and went into overtime. The home team ended up scoring ~30sec into the game!! It was a fun and excited night.
