PrintPardon my absence yesterday and this morning. Absolutely couldn't let things pile up on my desk any longer :) And this morning?? Tending to a jaywalking ticket I had received awhile ago. I know, BS.
Anyway, the Pittsburgh Penguins face off against cross-state rival Philadelphia this evening. Having cruised through the opening two rounds, Pittsburgh will likely face a much stiffer challenge from the Flyers in the Eastern Conference Finals.
I'm not going to try to provide any sort of analysis. I know no hockey. But I'm sure excited to see the Pens playing fantastic hockey again. Seeing their home arena rocking again is a thing of beauty, especially come playoff time. Head to the link above for more substantive analysis on the series, and use this thread to comment on their chase for the Cup if you're a hockey fan.

How about City of Champions Part Two
A Stanley Cup and a Super Bowl would be rather nice. Now if we could only do something about the Pirates…

City Of Champions
1979 was so sweet.
The Pirates, despite winning 4 games in a row are an embarrassment to Pittsburgh and an example of what is wrong with baseball. In the NBA San Antonio or Sacramento can contend for and win championships and in football cities like Green Bay, Pittsburgh and Jacksonville have a shot to taste the thrill of championships. Hockey features cities like Pittsburgh and Ottawa playing for a title. MLB is different. Only the big markets will succeed and win championships. Yes, every twenty years lightning strikes and Minnesota gets one but it’s only the exception not the rule.
Revenue sharing is the only way. The sport is only as strong as the weakest link.
