How to Steal a Win in the Stanley Cup Finals

And that, my friends and loyal reader(s), is how you steal a win in the Stanley Cup Finals. Those Blackhawk pukes stole game one from us, and the mighty Bruins turned right around and stole game two from them.

It was beautiful. Actually, it was awful in the first period. Oh my goodness, did they kick our ass in the first. Fortunately, we had one Tuukka Rask in the goal. As the two or three thousand shots came pouring in from inside the hash marks faster than the cameras could actually follow, Mr. Rask stood upon his Finnish head and stopped all but one.

In the second, the Bruins closed the competitive gap. It was still nerve racking, but it was better. The third was pretty even too.

Overtime though… It was beautiful. Dan Paille. 2-1 win.

Glorious!

It’s all tied up at a game a piece now. Glorious.

Here’s the highlight video.

And here is a little nod to the Bruins of the past…

Stanley Cup Finals Game Two

Game two of the Stanley Cup Finals is through two periods. In the first, the Bruins were completely out played by Chicago. It was the most dominant period I’ve seen in the entire post season. It was awful. Magically though, Tuukka Rask was able to hold the Blackhawks to just one goal.

In the second, the Bruins tightened things up. Rask remained super human, and Chris Kelly scored his first goal (and point) of the playoffs and incredibly the score is still tied at one.

The third is starting now. Hey Bruins, what do you say we steal this one, hub?

GO BRUINS!

Why I Love alonetone.com So Much

I have been using alonetone.com to hold my crappy home demo recordings for years. Specifically, I joined on August 7, 2008. Everything I’ve recorded that has reached a stage that I (at the time) considered finished has been sent there. A lot of stuff has gone to soundcloud.com and bandcamp.com as well. WordPress.com does not let me post the HTML playlists alonetone generates, but that hasn’t stopped me from using the site at every opportunity.

I wonder why…

Oh, this might be why:

This must be how The Beatles felt as they watched “Please Please Me” climb up the British pop chart.

It’s Raining

We interrupt your regularly scheduled dumb blog post to pose a question:

What’s up with all this rain?

New England has been getting oceans of rain dumped on it for the past week.  I can honestly say that it is not the cause of the really crappy week I’ve been having, but it is certainly not helping things.  The kids and I needed to build a raft to sail down the driveway to the car this morning.  It’s really quite the downer.  Let’s hope this is all over and done with by the time Summer officially starts next week, m’kay?
