They’ve blocked me from Blogger at work again, so my posting has become sporadic again. (I can’t look at sites with “blogspot” in the URL because, the filter claims, of “streaming media” so I can’t even look at my own site, let alone post to it.) You’d think that it would be the opposite – since technically I should be more likely to be blogging at home rather than at work – but I find I’m too busy in the evenings doing other stuff like watching games or working on rehabilitating my stupid knee or hanging out with people. There wasn’t much to blog about for a while, and now that there have been games! games! games! I have been out of town! out of town! out of town! and unable to watch them, so my comments are brief and after the fact. A few questions: 1) Related to the weekend games: why did Emery play against the presumably weaker team (Panthers) and Boucher get the nod for the Sharks? If the answer is “Because Booooosh played for the Sharks” then maybe someone needs to look Stevens in the eye and say, “Think of the greater good of the team rather than of the dubious novelty / curiosity that is a goalie facing his former team” and make him see that putting the backup against the presumably weaker team in a back-to-back situation is probably going to be the better choice.
