detroit v. washington was men against boys. let’s not get to ahead of ourselves. the caps may not make it to the conference finals, too many variables. let them win the first series.

Hats off to the Frozen (and their fellow) bloggers in keeping hockey on the radar screen 24/7 — articulate and welcome voices in the wilderness.

I cannot forget Esa T. and the open net either but think more fondly of him as one of the veteran acquisitions and an agitator par excelence who helped take the team on the magical ride. But yes, its a relief to have Federov in Caps red and not Red Wing red this time around.

Hockey is actually waning in popularity in Dallas. The Stars fialures in the post season have led to decreased tv viewing in Dallas and fewer ticket sales. The only think that will create and sustain a fan base is continued success. Even Chicago can’t sustain a fan base without a winning team.

And too bad it’s 10 years later, but I prefer having Fedorov on THIS side than on THAT side.

I swear I’m not lying when I say I can still see Esa Tikkanen missing the open net. It’s burned into my memory.
