Yay! Hockey!

Who cares if it was only preseason?! I saw real hockey! With real players! On TV! Yay! And the Stars won, too, 6-4. It's hard to tell how well they played because what with the new rules, the refs were calling EVERYTHING and there were something like 20 penalties. So lots of special teams. Turco, however, didn't look good. "Rusty" doesn't describe it. He looked tense, uncomfortable, uptight, clumsy and sloppy. Here's hoping he gets that worked out before October 5th!

They had this great ad on TV. It was just a little 15-second spot that started out with this guy on a Zamboni cruising up a residential street when his phone rings. He picks it up and answers "Pizza Delivery." Then there's a pause (he's still on the phone) and then he says, "Oh, thank you God!" and he chucks a couple pizzas and a hot bag out of the Zamboni and drives on up the street. Then text comes on the screen and all it says is "Hockey's Back." I thought it was hilarious!
