I've been to one hockey game in my life, six or seven years ago at the Delta Center. Lots of fights, it was quite exciting, I've just never grasped the intricacies of the game.

Power play is devastating tonight .. Russians haven't been good at killing penalties and it's killing them tonight!

[John W]

Whoa,how about those checks!

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

It's all good. I'm baffled by curling and it seems to be taking off in Utah.

Dang stinkin' dagnabbit Free Republic!

I come home, put 3 leftover pieces of Papa John's in the oven, the perfect snack to go with the game. Still had an extra garlic sauce(ALWAYS get an extra garlic sauce, one doesn't even provide enough dipping for crust from half a pizza), but since it had been sitting in the fridge, I decide to put it too, in the oven for 30 seconds(no microwave here). Get online, get distracted, next thing ya know I hear sizzling. Crap! Garlic container had melted, they'll be no garlic sauce for the crust tonight. Arrggghhhh, FR sometimes exacts a high price.

Then again, no worry about garlic breath later tonight.

Two of my brothers live in North Ogden, and said the whole community of Ogden is just wild for curling. I still don't get it. And MSNBC had a great spot on curling this morning. Some curlers took a lot of reporters to Deer Creek Reservoir to show them how to curl. Lester Holt and David Bloom were there, and said curling is pretty difficult, especially throwing the 42 pound stone down the ice. It was pretty funny.
