Peter Laviolette to Atlanta?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
This one just sort of came out of left field … but I found this quick blurb on yahoo sports. It puts forth the rumor that Hurricanes head coach Peter Laviolette could be on his way out of Carolina and on his way to Atlanta. The source cited is the Ottawa Sun, however I have not been able to find it…but that isn’t gonna keep me from spreading it around.
So, what are your thoughts on this little tid-bit?
Great Hockey Weekend Upon Us
This weekend is shaping up to be a wonderful weekend for all lovers of ice hockey. I don’t know about you, but the pantry at the Rawhide abode is well stocked with chips, popcorn and assorted beverages.
Oh yeah…and I mowed the lawn last night. So nothing stands between some great hockey and my eyeballs!
First, we are in the midst of the NCAA Frozen Four being played out in the Mile High city. Last night Boston College wiped UND, (my personal favorite college team), all over the ice to and Notre Dame continues to surprise everyone as they did away with MEEEE-chigan in OT to advance to tomorrow night’s final.
Hockey at this level is always highly entertaining to watch. I wait all year to see these kids skate it out for the championship and they never fail to live up to the expectations!
Then there is the continuation of the NHL playoffs….
Thus far, the Sharks vs. Flames series looks like a hard-hitting, fun-to-watch affair…Joe Sakic notched his NHL leading 8th career playoff OT goal to put the Avs up a game on Minnie-Sooo-Ta…the Blueshirts took care of business “on the road” versus the Devils…Montreal and Pittsburgh look like they are all that AND a bag of po-TA-to chips…Nashville gave Detroit quite a run last night in their opening game and…just who the %#$@& do the Dallas Stars think they are going into Anaheim and shutting down the Ducks like that?
Tonight, Philly and Washington kick off what promises to be quite the entertaining affair!!
So, this evening, I zoom home and become one with the family room sofa as I work the picture-in-picture feature of the TV and the “previous” button on the remote!! Yes, I have loosed up the muscles in the thumb as not to cause serious injury so early on in the playoff season.
Thank You
On behalf of the Divine Mrs. R and her mother, I would like to thank all of you who forwarded your kind and thoughtful words and well wishes! We appreciated it more than you will ever know!
