Well that was a wee bit icky.

cmk418Went to the Detroit-Kings game tonight. Apparently (and this is putting it very politely, the Kings defense decided not to show up this evening. I was sitting in the middle of Wings fan central (not a fun place to be). A question - do Red Wings fans drink so heavily because they are Red Wings fans or are Red Wings fans Red Wings fans because they drink heavily? It was getting up and down the first and last five minutes of every period that sorta annoyed me. I did have some Hawks fan sitting behind me, so we were pulling for the Kings together. Man, were they sad-looking though. Good things - Bernier played fairly well, considering the fact that he got no protection and Detroit dominated the play for the better of 3 periods, Cammalleri tried to do it alone once again, and Zeiler had a solid hit on one of the Wings players. (You may not think hits are that important in a finesse game like hockey, but the Kings were treating Detroit like they were baby kittens out there. Sickening.) I did really enjoy being at the game. I keep thinking "next year I should get more games" and will probably get at least one extra (Chicago) game this season.
Had a pretty good weekend. Watched the final four episodes of Season One of "Big Love". The ending was so sad. And the stuff with Alby was pretty fun. Alby is one of my favorite characters on that show. One of these days, I may do something demented like writing Alby-Lois fic, but it's a long way off. They actually have quite a bit in common.
Listening to the soothing sounds of last night's Stars/Blackhawks game. It's not going to get really good until there is 1.5 seconds left in the game, but that'll be something worth hearing. My dad actually reminded me of it, and after the debacle that was Kings hockey, I needed a little bit of cheeriness to bring me up.
I've signed up for a challenge to do 10 hurt/comfort fics for McManus/Murphy. So the dynamic duo will be back in my LJ fairly soon. And don't worry, I'll be bringing Dino back from Florida in one piece. (Otherwise it wouldn't be canon). Of course, I could go AU, have him buy a boat, have Ryan join him down there, and let the two of them sail off into the sunset. And post-accident Cyril could battle Petey for the drug trade.
Have I mentioned today how much I love the Chicago Blackhawks? 40 shots on goal. 2 wins against Detroit. Winning at home. 2 come from behind victories in a row (that's kind of a mixed stat, because I'd rather have them go up early and not have to worry). It's very very good.
