Some Words

It was a good day for Detroit sports. The Tigers have the 4th best record in MBL while on a 7 game winning streak (though it’s so early that doesn’t mean a whole lot just yet) and the Pistons are up 2-0 in the second round against Chicago.

But most importantly, the Redwings won their second round matchup against the Sharks. In the West, there were only two teams that I would think could take the Wings out, and they were the Sharks and the Ducks. Sadly, the Wings are up against the Ducks now in the Western Conference Finals. The Wings are now missing two of their top four D-men. I don’t know if they will make it through. Also sad to me is that the guy who went down in game five this round was Mathieu Schneider. I feel this weird tribal pride in him, as he’s the highest scoring Jewish hockey player ever. He was also eating up 23 minutes a game on the back end, which leaves 45 year old Chelios to take much of his time. If anyone can do it’s Chelios, but one would prefer he didn’t have to prove it.

But to celebrate getting past the second round, here is a Don Cherry picture I was saving for a special occasion:

That one comes from Daymented. I’ll be honest, I’m just doing google image searches for these suits. I need to find Cherry’s tailor. The guy must be blind now.

P.S. Open message to Eric. I was going to start some old fashioned trash talkin with you about the Pistons/Bulls series, but it’s just not going to be fun, as the Pistons are making the Bulls look like D leaguers.
