October 31st-November 1st - 23-16

Behold, great joy! The Wild won a road game! Against stinking Pittsburgh! In regulation! They'd only lost two games all year, and they certainly outplayed us. At the end of one, they had 16 shots on our goal to our 4, but we were up 2-1. At end of the three, SOG was 35 to 15 in their favor, but the score remained. Backstrom was finally back in form, and certainly stole us a win. We're off now until Thursday, so I'll get to bask in this for a while. Feels good, but doesn't allay the frustration of the season thus far.



Trick to Treat Saturday night. It was fun enough. We do this at my brother's house in Cuyahoga Falls. Weather held out, so that was cool, and we had pizza afterwords. Sophie was hard to contain, but I try not to yell at her too much when she's excited about such things. It's a safe night to run around freely, when drivers know to be cautious, so it's cool.

Sunday, however, brought me no joy. Seahawks got pummeled by the Cowboys. I hate when the Cowboys beat anyone, let alone my Seahawks, so, that was bad. Weren't we, like 13-3 just a few years ago? Where did all those players end up? There's talk now of firing Ruskell and bringing in Holmgren as GM next year. I don't see that happening. I think we've got Ruskell for a while, and I don't blame him, anyway. I think fans just like to point the finger at one guy, because replacing one guy is easier than rebuilding an entire team.

QB slips what appears to be a sure sack and scrambles out of bounds for five yards.

Life's ball. 3rd and 5 on their own 37.
