January 13th - 0-0

The Wild won last night. I point that out because it makes me happy and because I really have nothing else to talk about. The long work days will do that to a blog, you know. Home just time to put the kids to bed again, Tieraney watched the hit reality based talent show American Idol, and I pulled up the hockey ticker on my computer.

The hockey game is notable because our offense sucks. One of the worst in the league. But last night we scored six goals, which is more than we've scored in the last four or five games combined. Six different players got the goals, the first of which came 46 seconds into the game. At one point, we had two shots on goal, and two goals. Nice. Sure be nice if our offense could keep something like that going.

But they won't. We were playing Phoenix, after all. Their logo looks like this...



...making them the first sports team in history to have selected a dead animal as their mascot.

We stuff a run up the middle.

Life's Ball: 3rd and 2 on their own 46.
