Ain’t too proud to bleg
When the puck drops tonight I’ll be somewhere in the air between Philadelphia and Portland, Oregon, far from any electronical device that might enable me to watch game 4. Since this is the game that will determine the tenor of the series, damn. Damn damn damn. So please feel free—those of you who plan to catch the game—to use this thread to let me know how the game is going. I’ll catch les faits saillants on nhl.com around 10 pm Pacific time, of course, but if any of you want to provide liveblogging coverage, I’d really appreciate it, because reading through real-time blog commentary on games is lots of fun. For me, that is. Jazzbumpa, I’m looking to you to catch the Penguins putting seven, eight, even nine guys on the ice, and JP Stormcrow, I hope you can balance out the commentary by pointing out the Red Wings’ innovative use of the pick and roll.
Also, while I’m off at Reed College, I’ll also be missing Jamie’s debut in this. Damn. Damn damn damn damn damn and damn. We just dropped him off at his dorm this morning (!!), and he gets his first taste of statewide competition tomorrow. Opening ceremonies tonight (Janet will be there with videocam), athletes’ dance is tomorrow night. Wish Jamie luck, folks!
