Vancouver's Tired Sitcom

I think everyone on the North American continent understands that there are 2 pretty good goaltenders playing for the Vancouver Canucks and that the team intends on trading one of them in the next few months or in the off-season. What I am getting tired of is the Canadian Media trying to portray the tandem, pictured above, as being a couple of fun-loving best friends. Who's number 1? You know what?  I don't really care. I turn the channel every time I see the stupid featurette with James Duthie and the pair of average netminders engaged in a silly skit about who is starting that night. We get it, move on.

Taking It Too Far

The pattern always goes like this:  someone comes up with a great idea, it succeeds, then they try to expand the idea and it makes everything including the original, great idea worse.  The marketing mavens at Taco Bell came up with the Doritos Locos Taco last year and it was met with resounding praise.  It was a perfect combination; I have consumed hundreds.

But now they are taking it one step further.  Soon you will be able to order a Doritos Loco Taco in either the original Nacho Cheese or Cool Ranch flavor.  Seriously?  A Cool Ranch Taco.  Another case of tampering with perfection in order to make more money.  Will I try one?  Of course I will, but I won't be happy about it.

Chicago Will Lose

I know I am not exactly going out on a limb here, but tonight the Minnesota Wild will win 3-1 and end Chicago's unbeaten in regulation streak.  I quote Clubber Lang:

Reporter:  Clubber, do you have a prediction for this fight?
Clubber Lang:  Prediction?  Pain.
