Having been out of action, writing-wise, for the past 11 days for reasons discussed in the last post of the day (technically the first, but you will get there last), I decided to sit down and write 11 entries in the blog today. Feel free to skip. Not everything will interest you. As Linda Ellerbee says, "And so it goes."
The NHL wants desperately to be loved by Americans. We Canadians would like that too, but I've come to the conclusion that it's just not possible. Still, the NHL is to be applauded for trying tonight's tricks-inspired shootout. The goalies will hate it (Luongo and Brodeur being smart enough to demur from attending). But the skaters will have the chance to show their mad stick skills. And that can't be bad.
I know Pavel Datsyuk is the favourite now that Sidney Crosby can't participate. But my pick here is Alexander Ovechkin. Whatever the outcome, there will be many new YouTube videos by this time Sunday.
Now on with the rest of the day's verbiage.
