go ahead and drink your whiskey

 Run around and stay high all the time,It's your body and your soul

You save yours and I'll save mine

A man should never gamble, A man should never gamble

A man should never gamble, More than he can stand to lose ( David Bromberg)


let's take a break from the war this friday morn and talk a little hockey....if you are a gambling man you can probably drink your whiskey and shake your head today....last night the team with the worst record in the league beat the team with the best record......how does that happen ? 

The lowly depleted Coyotes of Arizona somehow knocked off Colorado , the top team in the NHL thus far . 25 yr old rookie goalie Varel Kameljka faced an Avalanche of shots (43) and somehow walked away with a 2-1 win.

slightly less surprising but still a huge upset was the Canadians De Montreal going into the Saddledome in Alberta and knocking off division leading Calgary in overtime. This is a fierce North of the Border rivalry, so anything can always happen; and the Habs are playing better of late.....BUT the Flames are considered by some ( mainly me) to be the best in the League and the eventual Cup Winner in June.....(Flames over Canes is my prediction).......just two more reason to love this game.....can't wait to watch On the Fly this morning and Jackie Redmond this afternoon.

locally the fishtix continue to slide into oblivion......the first year in their new arena may come with missing of the playoffs...ouch.......they lost at home to the Canuckleheads , and the two teams they are chasing for the final playoff spots won (Caps & Bruins).

with the trade deadline looming on March 21.....i just hope Chris Drury does not make any stupid "Go for It" moves........sure we could use another pure goal scorer...everyone could.....but i don't see that guy out there on the cheap......add some more muscle, maybe another veteran for the locker room but please don't mortage the future....


side note....CCM has decided to stop featuring Russian born players in their ads....namely alex ovechkin......they will still honor the current contract and pay him....but he will not appear in print adds or commercials.....the world has turned.


no politics today.....it's friday......treat yourself to a cool refreshing beer and keep praying for the Ukraine.

So sing your song and sip your sham pain

Dance a dance with Diamond Lil

You don't have to pay the piper

Just have him put it on your bill
