Watching that game 7 last night between the Bruins and the Caps brought me back to my old Jr. C coaching days. Except worse.
If you are nervous, you will make nervous mistakes. And didn't the B's win last year? Wow, what a lack of committment, enthusiasm, and just plain old pride. As coaches, we always stessed to take a hit to clear the puck, and the most crucial area is 10 feet on either side of the blue line. From what I saw last night, my old Jr.C team would have still lost terribly to the Caps, but would have at least tried to win. What an embarassment!!!!!
Have to laugh also. Now that the first round is over, how many sticks have we seen shatter in crucial situations? One-timers that could win a game go nowhere because the stick blows up, and produces a breakaway for the opposition. I realize that the industry has driven the game to these ridiculous standards, and some poor guy who wants a more reliable tool probably can't even get it. When I had my retail store, every salesperson coming through the door would tell you about the improved performance this lightweight stick would produce. Lower kickpoint for better release, graphite overlays, etc., etc., etc. Please stop.
Can you imagine being in a playoff at The Masters? You tee off, and are using a driver that might get you 20 extra yards. You have been told that this driver will give you the ultimate lightweight feel and performance.
Crack.......
The bottom half of the club goes 50 yards and nearly kills someone in the gallery.
The ball scoots off on a 60 degree angle, and travels 20 yards.
Come on hockey, get it right, will ya?
On a totally different topic, I don't know how many of you people love chicken thighs on the bar-b-que. They are great, but putting out the flames for 30-40 minutes gets tiring. I have an innovative idea: start eating turkey. I know your first thought when you hear 'turkey' is of the holidays, but I would suggest you think of turkey meat as an every day option. Turkey cuts are available all year round - thighs, breast, wings, drums, ground. And if you are barbequing, because turkey is so lean, there will be very little flare up, if any. Believe me, it tastes great, it's a lean choice, and you will actually have fun barbequing again.
