Road to the Kelly Cup

It's playoff hockey time! The NHL playoffs are underway and as usual the games are exciting as ever to watch. But that's not the most important hockey going on right now. The Charlotte Checkers are in the middle of their playoff push for the Kelly Cup. After finishing off the Toledo Walleye in a best of 5 series, the Checkers are taking on the Cincinnati Cyclones. After dropping the ball in game 1 and losing 4-3 those pesky Checkers bounced back with a 5-0 wiping of the Cyclones. The next three games are in Cincy, where the Checkers will look to continue their winning ways.


I know I posted this on facebook, but still think it's pretty funny.


It's been a while since I posted American Idol news, so let's take a few steps back. A couple weeks ago some serious drama went down as Big Mike was voted off and was forced to sing for his life. Well he did, and in dramatic fashion the judges saved him. I've been a fan if Big Mike since day 1. Just an all around great guy and the man has a set of pipes on him. And he can sing. (No Homo. He's jacked!) Tim Urban came out firing on all cylinders with his rendition of "Can't Help Falling in Love." As Simon said he did go from zero to hero and showed he actually has some potential. My girl Siobhan has been steadily good, but not great. She hasn't wowed the judges like the first couple of weeks. I used to get amped up to see her and she's just been blah lately. Expect big things of her in the next few weeks. Andrew and Katie were voted off last week which was expected by many. They just weren't up to snuff. Two of the favorites Lee and Casey are getting better and better each week as well. I'm excited for the next few weeks. God I love this show.



What else? It's spring time. I love this weather, it's fun going to the rink and leaving with a nice day out to do whatever you want. This also means I'll be heading back to Boston soon which I am pretty excited about. There's nothing like summertime in Boston. Get to reunite with some good people at the finest local watering holes and soaking up the sun down the cape and Nantucket. Ahh good times. Can't wait. Before that though there's only one thing left to do..



(sorry it's fuzzy..but you get the point)
