Playoff hockey is so intense! I love the NHL’s new adds with the slogan, “The Cup changes everything!” This is what the cup has changed so far this post season:
- Jose Theodore looks like Patrick Roy — stopping 188 of 200 Wild shots to help the Colorado Avalanche defeat the Wild in a 4-2 series.
- Rookie defenseman Marc Staal has increased his offense significantly scoring two goals helping the Rangers reach victory over the Devils in games four and five of the series.
- Debs Francisco, the NHL Girl, has turned in almost no homework, missed three paper deadlines, and skipped class five times since the playoffs started (and I used to be such a good student).
I promise more highlights, player features, and overall more hockey! Thank you for looking at my blog. It is currently under construction so this is a temporary look. I am in the midst of finishing my sophomore year of college and don’t have all the time I would like to dedicate to my blog, but I will work as hard as possible to update the content. Keep Reading, and feel free to leave a comment of things you would like to see on my blog.
Props!
Especially on missing paper deadlines. That’s what college is all about!

Go Avs!
Agreed – College is designed for missing paper deadlines. Especially for playoff hockey. I still remember watching one particular playoff game from the dorm lobby as the rest of my college celebrated commencement. Who cares about watching friends graduate, it was Playoff hockey baby!
The good news is, I got an extension on one of the papers. The really good news is that I only have two papers left this semester. The bad news is that one of them is due on Friday, which means I better get cracking before the Avs and Wings face-off!
I hope Jose Theodore plays just Patrick Roy the last time Roy faced the Wings the playoffs.
Oh, sweet Statute of Liberty, it seems so recent.
You are a sick man Derek, but you make a good point. For the record, Roy is arrogant–no doubt about it. I blame his pride for that play.
