March 25th - 0-3

When you're playing the worst team in hockey, you should win 6-2, which we did last night against the Islanders (which kind of upsets me...I like the Islanders). Gaborik had two goals, the rest were spread out, and three of them came in the third. We were still outshot, which is unsettling, but I'll take the two points. We have no more games against sub .500 teams, and six of our final eight games are against division opponents, all of whom are ahead of us. In fact, now that I look, every single game left on our schedule is against a team ahead of us in our conference, save for Dallas, who are four points behind us. How does that happen?

Annoying day yesterday. I had to wear a suit. And a tie. I hate wearing a suit and tie, as I'm neither a politician nor a stock broker. If you're not making their money, you shouldn't have to wear their clothes. However, my daughter did thank me for wearing a suit, then said I look awesome because I "... look like a boss." I suppose I wouldn't mind it so much if I could wear this suit.



Anyway, the reason for the suit was because I had to attend a Beachwood Chamber networking luncheon. The two things I hate most about business are trying to sell something and having someone trying to sell me something. But my boss is on this kick where we all have to become salesmen, so hell it is. What really sucks is that four of us went, and I'm the only one who came out of it with a potential client. The last thing I need is for Bruce to think I'm good at this this sort of thing and want me to do it more.

Run play is stuffed at the line.

Life's ball: 3rd and 11 on their own 27.
