The Olympics

I'm not the biggest of Olympic fans, but I do prefer the Winter over the Summer Olympics to watch, they have more events that I enjoy watching. Some of those events include figure skating, speed skating, curling and of course HOCKEY!!! The cool thing about the hockey tournament is the fact that NHL players play in it for their native countries, so teammates now become enemies for a week. Today was the last game for the NHL before a 17 day break, and the Kings played Dallas, our division rival. The Kings were playing like shit for 2 periods, and it looked bleak for my boys, going into the 3rd trailing 5-2. Somehow, someway, they remembered the great play they showed early in the year, and rallied to score 4 unanswered in the 3rd to win the game 6-5. Now the Kings have a modest 2 game winning streak, nothing to be too happy about, but considering they had lost 7 in a row before hand, I will take it.

Kathy and I went in on a ticket package to see 4 games, all on Saturday to help with my work schedule, and I'm excited to be goin to games again. 2 in March, and 2 in April, with the opportunity to buy playoff tix if they do make it. So now that the Olympics are here, what events are you looking forward to watching?

PS: I decided to add a video to my page, it's a song I'm just getting into right now, and after the come from behind Kings win today, I'm all fired up and this song fits my mood.
