Vol. III, No. 1
It has been over a year since the last post to this blog. Blame long term writer's cramp or the stars.
The 2011 Stanley Cup playoffs are one year back. The Boston Bruins, after a 39 year drought, captured Lord Stanley. The Beantown hockey team has reigned for a year. But playoff hockey is back again. The second season is again in full swing. The Bruins are now defending the Cup.It's only the quarterfinals, with 16 teams competing for Lord Stanley's cup. Surprises always pop out.
The war in Pennsylvania (Penguins vs. Flyers) has the Philadelphia underdog up by 3-1, even though they were spanked by Pittsburgh 10-3 on Tuesday night. Wells Fargo Center emptied out after the second period. Philly fans gave up on a team that gave up 6 unanswered goals.

A bit further east, Newark's goaltender was pulled for the first time in six years on Monday night. Two nights later, he blanked every shot and contributed an assist. It was his 24th career playoff shutout, a new NHL record. The series is now tied 2-2, thanks to Martin Brodeur, #30.
Or maybe thanks to Peter DeBoer, the coach who pulled Marty on Monday night. Go Peter. Go Marty. Go Devils.
