Any hockey fans out there?

Heck of an NCAA Championship game. Congrats to Denver.

My daughter hosted the watch party. I was the lone UW grad amongst all the DU alums, and sitting pretty well the first 44 minutes.

DU looked exhausted, but that is one well-coached team that never abandons their structure and just needed a break. NTM their goalie was stellar. Could have easily been 4-0 going into the 3rd.

Big step for the badgers this year, lots of positives.

Then I raced up to Ball Arena for the last 47 minutes of that one. Nothing on the line for the Avs minus personal milestones, but still a decent game. Somehow coach Bednar ended up in the hospital, though (took a puck to the cheek that I didn’t eve notice, apparently OK, but getting more tests)

And we couldn’t pull the 5 gobblers this opening morning 150 yards off private, so on paper a rough day, but had a blast all the same.

Why I love hockey. Pens fans and team show their respect and appreciation for Ovechkin in what could be his last game visiting their arena.

Look at that, The Wall of St. Paul gets the nod to start game one. Well earned and I hope he does well. I also hope that dont change things up and regardless of how he does, the Gus Bus goes in game 2 and they just alternate games. Don't change the season flow, its a long playoffs to make it to the end.

Happy playoffs everyone!

Stars are good...but sounds like a bunch of key players hurt while most of the better wild players are healthy and well rested.
