All Hail the Detroit Redwings! Victory in Hockeytown once again!
As many of you know, I am an absolute puck nut. But not just any puck nut, a Detroit Redwings puck nut. And my wildest of dreams came true again last Wednesday night when Detroit trounced the Pittsburgh Penguins to win their fourth Stanley Cup in eleven years. Now for those of you who aren't in the loop, that's a pretty good record. Having won four cups after not winning one since 1956 (that's 42 years folks) is a damn good record. And when I say that Detroit fans are different from ordinary hockey fans, I mean it. The cardinal rule for being a Redwings fan is: THOU SHALT NOT HAVE ANY OTHER TEAM BEFORE ME. I realize that is sort of ripping the Bible off, but it's true. I don't give two hoots about any other team but mine and I love my boys. Nightly prayers include "God bless the Redwings and Nicklas Lindstrom" But I'm rambling. I just wanted to brag about my winning and tell all those other "hockey fans": HA HA SUCKERS! VICTORY IS MINE!!!!!
