New Adventures!


Last night, I went to a movie at the Texas Theater in Oak Cliff, a Dallas neighborhood. The theater is one of those old charming relics, built in 1931, but still standing despite fire and bankruptcy and other issues.

DD and I saw "The Russian Five" a sports docu-drama about the journey of five Russian hockey players who came to the United States to play for the Detroit Red Wings. The story was sad and amazing and inspiring.

The Dallas Stars CEO Jim Lites was on hand for Q&A afterwards as he was a member of the Red Wings organization at the time.


Anyway, a fun evening with DD and hockey.

Here's to a great week.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are the Eastern Conference champs once again...


The Penguins celebrate their 2OT victory over the Ottawa Senators...


For the first time since 2009, an NHL team has returned to the Stanley Cup finals for a second year in a row. In fact, in 2009, both teams were repeat finalists. The Detroit Red Wings and the Pittsburgh Penguins played each other both in 2008 and 2009. The Red Wings won the Cup in 2008, the Penguins in 2009.

Now that The Penguins have made it to the Stanley Cup finals for the second year in a row once again, they're trying for back-to-back wins. The last time that happened was in 1997 and 1998 by none other than...the Detroit Red Wings!

As a side note, for the first time in twenty-five years, the Red Wings did not even make into the playoffs this year. That's kinda sad.

My second favorite player, Justin Schultz, got a goal and an assist in his first game back after missing several games with a shoulder injury... Now I really need that shirt I ordered. :0)


The Stanley Cup Final starts Monday night. Can't wait...
