What a game!!!

Well, I picked a dozy of a hockey game to go to. The Blackhawks beat the Blues 2-1 in overtime at the Scott Trade center tonight. I ended up buying a $135 ticket for $90 off the street. During the game, I saw what may have been the best save I have ever seen. Not only that, but I was directly in line behind the shooter, so I saw the whole thing at as good of an angle as you could have possibly wanted. In the end, the Blackhawks first goal came on a monster one-timer, and the winning goal came on a great play by the guy who is probably my favorite Blackhawk: Marty Havlet. In addition, Huet the goalie played outstanding and received the first star award (Marty H. was given the third star). If the Maginot Line would have had Frenchman Huet manning it, the Germans would have not stood a chance!

Here is a link to the game recap.

The picture at the end of this post were taken from my seat, which should give you an idea at what nice seats they are. Ironically, a co-worker and her husband were sitting two rows in font of me...small world.

After the game, I came back to work to check the progress of some of the changes. All worked as hoped except for one small issue which I am working on correcting as I type. I should get out of here around 11:50 tonight, and I'll probably come in sometime tomorrow evening. I'm going to go to church, then lunch, and then probably my gym tomorrow. Since we don't have school on Monday, I plan on doing the majority of the office cleaning on that day.
