Hearing Jose Gonzalez on AOL UK Music Sessions
Helluva Way to Lose
I am in no way fit to write a damn thing about hockey but thoroughly enjoyed the final six minutes of Game 1 of the Stanley Cup. Right after flipping it on -- after finding OLN on the dial -- Edmonton had to bring in their backup goalie in to protect the net in a 4-4 game.
Considering he was entering an incredibly tough situation the guy did alright until, with 30 seconds left, he botched a pass and basically gave Carolina's Rod Brind'Amour a close-up, game-winning shot on an empty net...
So now Edmonton is basically screwed. They're down a game and a goaltender. But I will say this, that was damn entertaining hockey. I hadn't watched a game on TV in years and, between the hits, the playoff beards, the scrums and the drama, it left me wanting.
Game 2 comes Wednesday, and, between now and then, head over to my friend Eric McErlain's Off Wing Opinion for some real insight. Also hear Eric on last night's SBL when he picked Carolina before Game 1.
Bonus: Behold! Siamese Oilers...

I'm not fit to write about hockey either, but here in hot as Hell Las Vegas, I can bet on it. I had Edmonton and I was on cloud nine crusing to victory with a 3-0 lead. Low and behold, I lost. I had the game in a parlay with the Pittsburgh Pirates and Cinncinatti Reds. Sorry if I misspelled anything here. I'll never win a spelling bee. Ken Griffey is playing like he wants to be traded to win a ring. He hit that three run homer, but it was nulified by the Edmonton loss. That's why I call myself the Vegas Loser. Hey did you notice the away winning trend? Check the numbers since June 1 and you'll see that the away baseball teams have developed a distinct advantage in the numbers. As for the Belmont, this should be the easiest race ever to handicap. This is the longest race these horses will ever run. Who can "Geterdone?" You don't need to look very far to find that answer. Finally, to close, the Stanley Cup is over! Get out the broom. North Carolina couldn't enjoy Duke lacross, but hockey is lacross on grass. Did they rape that girl? Johnny Cocran would say, "We must aquit, if we don't give a sh...ut up. GHB will make your butt sore.
