Should be an awesome weekend
I’m so bummed it’s all here in my city and I can’t go!!! Will be watching the Feats of Strength today, so fun. One of my favorite times of the season. And 3 on 3 is gonna be awesome tomorrow.
Excellent. Jumbo Joe was snubbed. Go Sharks!
I will have to check with my son to see if he is going to watch this instead of work on his VW. I don’t have anything but the basic channels, so I can’t watch a lot of the stuff I like.
Hockey rocks!

Skills competition was great. Wifey & me both watched. We are looking forward to the 3 on 3 today. 3 on 3 sounds like a menage a trois trois.
I picked the Central to win the opener, the Metro to win the other semi and then Crosby’s Metropolitan team wins the finals.
