Your a Heartbreaker. *

Lots of hockey to talk about this post.

I got to play for the first time in about a month the Thursday before last. I played D again. Not where I wanted to but hey it is what it is. I was able to carry the puck a little bit this time which was fun and I'm glad to be attempting that a little more. I got an assist on a goal midway through the game but your DC Gladiators could not pull it out and we lost by a pair of late goals. Fun game though.

And now on to the hurricanes. It was a weeks worth of ups and downs topping off with me visiting the unfriendly confines of the Verizon Center. To take in a hurricanes capitals game. It was a fun game to watch until about three minutes from the end of the game. In three minutes the hurricanes went from winning a tough hockey game to losing and I was there to witness it all. Seimen is having an excellent start and he brought them back on his shoulders alone. I was really worried that the canes would take that loss hard but they bounced back with a close win over Ottawa on Friday.

Stats of interest.
  • The hurricanes have 18 points of a possible 28 for around 64% of the possible points they could have attained.
  • The maximum number of points the Hurricanes can obtain now is 154.
  • The total number of goals allowed this season is 40 which yields an average of 2.8 goals a night. This is getting better.
  • The total number of goals scored is 41 which yields an average of 2.9 goals a night. They are very close to kissing their sisters.
OK, Some comics now. I just had the displeasure of reading Crossed written by Garth Ennis. I'm starting to realize that Ennis's stories basically involve sex and violence mixed together in the most deplorable way possible. In Preacher and the Punisher, that seemed to fit but this underlying story element is in every yarn he cooks up, no matter the back drop or characters. It is getting old. Really old. I won't be buying the next issues. I really did like preacher and his run on The Punisher but as survival horror fiction goes I think you can do better by taking a look at Kirkmans "The Walking Dead."
