Sabrina, Meltdown, NHL
First, As most of you know my wife Sabrina has been battling cancer for more than 6 years now. The last couple of weeks she took a turn for the worst.
She is in the hospital now with some breathing difficulties. We’ll give more details later when we have a better grasp on what is happening.
It looks like Meltdown and I have found some neutral ground. He is correct when he suggested in his blog that most of our hockey differences of opinion are because I’m a traditionalist. That is dead on. I get that the shoot-out is exciting, and most people feel it’s o.k. to settle a tie in such an entertaining manor, but is it cool to decide which team goes to the playoffs with a shoot-out? That will ultimately be the deciding factor for the last playoff spot.
I like that the refs are calling the penalties that should have ALWAYS been enforced. Melts & I also agree on the tag up rule and for the most part on red line changes as well.
As for next captain, If it were up to me…and clearly it never will be, I’d still go with Zetterburgh. The Red Wings are in a rare position of not really needing a captain with the enormous amount of natural leaders on the team, they could give the "C" to Henrik and in 5 years as the Wings are building their future Stanley Cup teams around him, he’ll already have 5 years of experience as the captain. That is just my opinion.
As long as they keep winning none of us will care much who the leader is.
Black out.
