That's that!

The jackets ended their first ever playoffs with a 4-0 win by the Detroit Red Wings. The first three games were won in a fairly convincing fashion but then came game 4. People who are reading this probably watched it, and those who didn't--well, they missed out. It was an electrifying game where the jackets over came two, two goal deficits to send the game into what appeared to be overtime when a linesman--what? yes, you heard me right, a LINESMAN made a too many men on the ice call at the 1:37 mark of the third period that led to the wings pp goal--the game winner.

Fans chucked debris on the ice, boo'd the wings, but in the end cheered appreciatively and loudly for the jackets effort that game, and season overall. It was a successful year and a great step for the growing franchise.

I will probably head back to the desert this week and get reorganized in my own day to day. Billy is getting so big that it won't be too long before he won't fit in his carry on kennel anymore so I have to get him back soon. The weather has turned nice here too so taking him out to the park is much more pleasing for me, but he gets panting quite quickly and I have to guard against him overheating once we get back to the desert. I think I will get him a kiddie pool to bask in once we get home.

Last night there was a dinner for the players, coaches and management at Mr. Mac's fancy golf course: Double Eagle. It was fun to be around the players and their significant others in that environment...Commodore is one funny dude. Looking around the room I couldn't help but to feel a bit saddened by the fact that the group as it was last night, will never be together again. It wasn't that they won anything, but they made history together--the first ever Jackets team to make the playoffs--that's something.
