I'll be damned. There's a hockey game on this weekend. Yeah, it's only preseason -- but it's a welcome sight. The Blackhawks are playing Washington at 7:30 Saturday on CSN.
Sure, there are other TV options for Saturday night. Jake Peavy is making his debut for the Sox at 6 p.m. I figure he'll only pitch about five innings though. He'll probably be out of the game by the time the Hawks game starts, and it will be time to change the channel. Other than Peavy, what reason do you have to watch a Sox-Royals game this weekend?
Football? Meh. I'm already tired of it. Most people know that football is my fourth favorite sport, behind baseball, hockey and basketball. I can do without it. The Illini aren't playing this Saturday. Even if they were playing, they suck anyway. Bears? Not as interested as a lot of people are.
Glad hockey is almost here....
*drinks koolaid*
My predictions:
- Blackhawks will win the Stanley Cup.
- Timberwolf will take a bullet to his/her/its head.
- People will mourn.
- Life moves on.
Yes, you are drinking Kool-Aid there. But the Hawks are one of the teams with a legitimate shot. I like everything about the Hawks except their goaltending. Deep group of forwards. Solid defense. Good coach. You just wonder if Huet can get the job done as a No. 1 netminder.
I think as a starter he should do well, I know last year he had flashes of brilliance when he was Khabi's back up and when he started when Khabi was out. I'm not too worried, GO HAWKS!
From now one, I want everyone to call me Cabbage Patch Kid. The Timberwolf name should perish for good. That's the name that people call me over there at JaytheJoke, and I love that name. Google CabbagePatchKid and you will know where it came from.
Don't tell me what to do Timberwolf.
