    The Luck of the Irish brings them back from 13 points down with less than 6:00 on the clock....it's fun to be a Celtics fan.

    My General manager in Tucson was born and raised in Wales. He used to scoff at the American sports Idea of us labeling ourselves "World Champions" when the games were only played in America. He said that the only World Champs are the World Cup.

    Actually, in the NHL they call themselves Stanley Cup Champions.

    Go Blackhawks! Yes, believe it or not, I'm a convert. My college roommate took me to game 4 of the conference semi-finals, Chicago vs. Vancouver. His season tickets are 3rd row directly in line with the goal the Hawks shoot at twice. I won't bore you with details, but suffice to say I'm hooked. An absolutely amazing experience! Whereas I have heretofore decried the sport for various reasons, I saw in the playoff match a rink full of superior athletes skating with unbelievable speed and intensity. The hitting was ferocious. Every skater gave 100% every second he was on the ice. That's something I can easily get excited about.......and I did.

    Very impressive game 4 by the Pens. They've taken over the momentum in this series. Obviously game 5 will be a war. Of course I'm here in South Bend at my 40th reunion trying to figure out how I can slip away from the beer tent tonight to watch the game. :)

    Well for the first time in the finals, the Wings had all their talent avilable as Datsyuk was back. Wow!
