New Year, New Strategy

This year I’ve decided to break a bad habit. I’ve been posting all of my pictures on facebook and not posting anything here. My goal is to post the pictures here and link to them on facebook. That way there will be more content here for everyone to see and the money spent to keep this website running won’t be going to waste. My posts could possibly be really short. Don’t be surprised to see pictures with little or no description. I might be feeling lazy, but at least I’m post something. A quick google search reveals that there are facebook plugins for WordPress (the website software I’m currently using). I will continue to research this. Perhaps it will save time and effort with cross posting content.

The Site & Stanley Cup ’09

The website has been up and down due to a hard drive failure on the server. The provider has restored the files, but it appears that there are still some issues being ironed out.

On to my main topic, the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Detroit Red Wings will begin the duel for the Stanley Cup tonight. This is a sequel, that I’m not entirely happy with. They played each other in the final series last year. With 30 teams in the league, it seems improbable for the same teams to make it to the final series two years in a row.  I’m not a huge fan of the Red Wings to begin with and it doesn’t help that they’ve already won the Stanley Cup eleven times.

The Red Wings are not happy about the re-scheduling done for the playoffs. There was going to be a bit of a long break between the two rounds. In order to keep fans interested, the NHL moved the games up and scheduled two back to back games this weekend, one today and one tomorrow. The Wings have players that are injured or playing hurt and would have benefited from more days off. I think this is the best idea the NHL has come up with in a long time. Two consecutive games should make for interesting hockey and spark more interest.
