A post for the waning days of hockey

Q. What time is it in Boston?
A. Fifteen past Luongo

My brother texted me that joke this morning. I'm thrilled that Boston won - mainly because it means that my beloved Blackhawks remained the reigning Stanley Cup Champions for a couple more days.

I'm pulling for the Bruins, but I'd be happy for Lu if he won it (although the other 20-odd guys and their coach have done nothing to endear themselves to me.) I also find it funny that the Boston organist played "Chelsea Dagger" (Blackhawks goal song) last night at some point during the second period.

Hockey will be over tomorrow. I suppose I should be sadder than I am, but this post-season with the exceptions of Vancouver-Chicago & Nashville-Anaheim seems like just games that have less relevance for me than the pre-season.

But there's game seven and the draft and the free-agent acquisition period and the schedule release celebration day so there's lots to look forward to before September 15.

Three long months from now.
