Catching Up… Kinda.

Posted on March 5, 2011

Been a while but since I posted but a lot of fun and interesting stuff has happened in the last few weeks. Lots has gone on since the last time I posted. Here are some updates.

I was really into this years Super Bowl. Both teams have long history in the league & were very entertaining during the regular season. I was not really a big Aaron Rodgers fan until this game. That dude is a baller. I was afraid that the game was going to be a blow out but the Steelers made a game of it. It was by far one of the more memorable Super Bowls of the recent past in my opinion. Something told me that the Packers had it in them all year, even through all the crazy injuries they suffered. I was glad to see such a great game, and did not care who won. But the Packers really did impress me.

I’m not like some people that I know that think they get more than a day to celebrate their birthday… but this year my week rocked, kinda.

New York Rangers vs. Washington Capitals

Posted on January 24, 2011

Games between the CAPS and Rangers are usually pretty fun. This one was no exception. There was a lot of back-and-forth in this game, a tough defensive battle.

Matt Hendricks got a super sweet deflection in the 2nd to put the CAPS up 1-0. CAPS rookie Goaltender Braden Hotlby was looking sharp. He had only given up one goal in each of his last two games. He did give up a goal in the third, but it was crazy. The slap shot took a wicked trajectory and was bounced up into the air. It landed behind Holtby and trickled into the net. Dagger!

Regulation ended tied, and the teams went to overtime. The 5 minutes passed and no team scored, so we went to the dreaded shoot out. This marks the 7th straight OT/SO loss for the CAPS, and the 9th of the last 10. Ouch.

All-in-all, any CAPS game is fun to attend, win or lose. Weeee!
