The Coolest Game

I love hockey. Cut my teeth on it, grew up on it, love it.

Brendan Shanahan is God on skates.
Why? He's a grinder, he racks up the penalty minutes, and my best friend's brother was his
personal trainer when he played in St. Louis (a long time ago now).

I've been a Red Wings fan since the 1994-95 season when they acquired Shanny from the Blues for Chris Pronger. The Blues, my hometown team, are a constant source of pain and misery. Every time they make you think they're gonna win it all, they fold like a cheap tent.



I loved watching the Pittsburgh Penguins when I went to graduate school there from 1995 to 1997. I'll be able to tell my kids about watching the Lemieux-Jagr-Francis line, one of the best ever put together. I am so excited that Shanny gets a chance to play with Jaromir in New York now!
