Really, Shea Weber? In your career you've never done anything so blatantly goon-ish. You're better than that. Way better than that. You've been tagged as the guy who'll win Norris Trophies, not a higher profile Matt Cooke. Hell, the glass might as well be a turnbuckle & you're wearing a singlet. What's more disturbing is that it was the end of game so no penalty. The NHL isn't going to suspend you, but they'll hurt your wallet. Yeah. What are you going to do without that $2,500? Wait . . . that's it? You drop $2,500 at Dick's for golf clubs. Even the 'punishment' sucks. I thought Brendan Shanahan was going to put an end to this kind of thing?

Shea Weber . . . What The Hell Bro?
The Nashville Predators & Detroit Red Wings began their seven game playoff series Wednesday. Now, I love nothing more than when division rivals become playoff foes. There is already a hatred there & it only gets worse (better?) when they are forced to play an additional four to seven times. Detroit has owned the Central Division for . . . like what? Twenty years? Nashville entered the league in 1997 & has been the Red Wings' annoying little brother. They play Detroit rough, but Detroit usually wins (they bounced the Predators twice out of the first round of the playoffs). So little Nashville wants their sibling to know they mean business. They're not going to be pushed around anymore. They're getting the last cookie & they're watching Spongebob, damnit!

Great job finding your voice this semester, Andrew! You make me want to know more about sports (and even when I don't know what I'm reading about, I love listening to you -- which says a lot).
ReplyDeleteIt's been a joy having you in class, as always.
Have a wonderful summer!
