About Me:
Big NFL nut. There is nothing better than NFL Sunday. (Or Monday...or Saturday...) If there is an NFL game on, you can bet I'll be watching it or at least trying to watch it. I'm a Colts fan, spent 15 years of my life in the great state of Indiana before moving to Michigan 2 years ago, and it kills me being forced to watch the Lions each week. 49ers are my favorite NFC team, just because as a kid, my favorite player was (and probably still is) Jerry Rice.

I can enjoy most sports. Hockey, in person, is fantastic and may be the best in person. I go to each of Ferris State's College hockey games, and I watch the NHL, although more in the playoffs than regular season. Didn't get in to hockey until I came to Michigan, thus I'm a Wings fan.

I do enjoy baseball, and am a Cubs fan from a long line of Cubs fans in the family. I like basketball, but I ultimately probably enjoy high school ball the best, as it's really the game at it's purest form and how it's meant to be. College football games I do find interesting, but I can't get in to it because I know there won't be a legitimate finale to the season thanks to the worthless BCS.

I do public address announcing for my high school's various sporting events, and have done football, baseball, softball, soccer, wrestling, and basketball. I've also do PA for a club hockey team at Ferris State, and I did color commentary on a local radio station for my high schools' football team (1-9 d'oh!) as well as a few state playoff games.

And...wow I really wrote too much here. The end.
NHL Wrap Around 5-16

Welcome To The Series, Flyers

NHL Wrap Around 5-16 PhotoWho’s one step closer to hoisting Lord Stanley?  The Wrap-Around is your daily update for last nights’ NHL Playoff action.

Flyers Win 4-2, Still Down 3-1 In Series.

Looking at the basic stats, this game was pretty even overall.  The Penguins actually had more shots than the Flyers (38-34).  Pittsburgh's 18 giveaways to the Flyers 11 played a large role in this one.  Martin Biron was great in net, and Marc-Andre Fleury was solid himself.

The Flyers came out of nowhere with the start.  Before you knew it, it was 3-0 after the first period.  Joffrey Lupul scored the first goal 9 minutes in to the game.  A few minutes later, Daniel Briere scored on a powerplay, and they scored another powerplay goal towards to end of the period by Jeff Carter.  The Flyers wouldn't score again until a late empty net goal.  No goals were scored in the 2nd, but Pittsburgh attempted their comeback in the 3rd.  Jordan Staal scored twice, first at 3:16, and second at 14:11.  But it would not be enough, as the Flyers would win 4-2.

Of course, after the empty netter, the game never seemed like it would end, since they just continued to fight, and fight, and fight some more.  Game 5 is going to be a very interesting game, and expect plenty of fights.  The series is 3-1, game 5 is on Sunday in Pittsburgh.

I realize every team in the playoffs is really good, and it's really hard to sweep anybody in any sport, but I'm getting really sick of teams not closing out series.

The Pens have lost 2 games. 
I repeat, the Pens have lost 2 games.
This isn't the NBA.
That is all.
