I went over to Patti and Jeff's last night to watch Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals, with the Detroit Red Wings up 2 games to 1 in the series. We all know that when a home team is down 2-1, Game 4 is a must-win. This was no exception. Detroit came out strong in the first period, dominating play for nearly the entire 20 minutes. The lone Penguins goal came on a power play, but early on it seemed like the Wings were going to do what they always do, which is control the puck, maintain the offensive zone, send forwards down low, take big shots from the point, and pounce on rebounds for goals. The first two games were clinical in their approach. Once the Wings get a lead, it's all about clogging the neutral zone and slowing down the opposing team's forwards. This is nothing new. It's not exciting, but it works.

When I wake up in the morning and make myself some breakfast I typically enjoy sitting down, turning on the TV and watching SportsCenter to catch up on the latest sports news. I'm still pretty tired and kind of trying to get myself mentally prepared for another day so I figure this is a good thing to watch since it doesn't require much thinking and usually isn't depressing like the news would normally be.
