A Few Beginnings……..
October 3, 2007So Wednesday is the start of a few things. The MLB playoffs kick off tonight, with 6 of the 8 teams playing tonight (Cubbies, Dimondbacks, Rockies, Phillies, Red Sox, And Angels) With the Yankees, and Indians. But today since I have already went on about the MLB playoffs, I may as well give you the up and up on the New NHL season…….
So first off the NHL is looking into the new jerseys that the players are wearing. Yes they are snazzy, and yes they keep dryer. So much so that they are keeping the moisture in the sweater. So the equipment and the players are getting bogged down by the “soggy” equipment. The census from a few fans follows these lines (Click Here). And with most of America starting to resemble some famous TV dads……
The new NHL Jerseys will really not look that good when form fitted to some of the “bigger” NHL fans. Now before you get all your panties in a bunch thinking I am making fun of fluffy people. I am most certainly am not, I won’t buy the jersey for that very reason. I look sort of like what Peter Griffin would look like, and I certainly wouldn’t want a form fitting jersey (not until I lose the weight I want to anyhow)……so the Jerseys, although they look cool. I think they will be a flop with NHL fans everywhere.
Second is the start to the NHL season (finally). And my team the Toronto Maple Leafs are kicking it off tonight. My first guess is that they will make it to the playoffs, but will be gone in the first round…..So that is my bold prediction for that. My guess is that the Pittsburgh Penguins will make it to the Stanley Cup round this year. If they win the Cup, then look for the Penguins to be dominant in the late decade of the early 2000’s.
I have gotten my new NHL game all set up, and will see if I can win the Stanley Cup. There is no greater joy, than to see your own player carry that cup. Well not to a kid growing up in Canada anyhow……
Now for my whining part, I have seen all my favorite teams win major championships. Team Canada, San Antonio Spurs, New England Patriots, Denver Broncos, Hamilton Tiger Cats, Toronto Blue Jays, and New York Yankees. But I haven’t seen the Maple Leafs win a Stanley Cup yet……I guess hell may freeze over before that happens……….
