Redwings

Well, it's that time of the year again, where the leaves turn color and begin to waver. Actually, quite a lot of leaves have already fallen, and we're only in the second week of October. It's been a while since I've updated the blog/website, so I figured now was as good of a time as any other.

I'm still working at SMDC, though still as a Manpower contractor. I've been working there for over a year now and yet I'm still a temp. It's rather frustrating for me to write about, so I'll just leave it at that. However; I know that eventually, I'll find something much more rewarding and satisfying if I keep a positive outlook.

Speaking of positive outlooks, the NHL 2008-2009 season finally started last week and the Detroit Redwings look like they're ready to defend the Stanley Cup! After a great off-season, where they picked up two great players from Pittsburg (Hossa and Conklin) and only lost two players (Drake and Hasek) to retirement, I finally got a chance to see the team in action Saturday night when they played Ottawa. For a while, it looked like they were going to lose down 2-1 in the 3rd period even though they were the better team but then Frazen "the Mule" goes and just shoots the puck into the net like magic... not once, but twice to win the game. So far, he's scored 30 goals in his last 34 games (including up to the end of the season and playoffs.) Now that's amazing!!

And speaking of hockey, I've got my TwinPortsHockey.com League going.... We're playing games already, though I have to do a bit of work on the website. Currently the pickup game schedule is as followed:
Games every Tuesday & Wednesdays at Superior Ice arena (SAHA) 10:15pm - 11:25pm
Cost: $10/per skater or pre-pay month plan at about $7.50 per game.
So far, we've had a good turnout... in fact, I may have to start limiting who can play by a first-come/first-play policy.
