"New Age Hockey"
The new look NHL arrived earlier tonight. The game is new and improved!
The down time should be less, because players will have just 5 seconds to take the face-off. This doesn’t allow teams to have time to decide what lines to put on the ice. In days of old teams would take about 40 seconds trying to match up lines. A method made famous by Roger Neilson.
In addition, the obstruction will supposedly be cracked down on again. I know we have heard this one before, but this time the are policing the referees. If they don’t call the clutching and grabbing which make the defensive trap possible, than they might be sent to officiate AHL games. I guess this mean that we will only hear a lot less Bon Jovi than we did last season.
Of course, the stupid net is there too. What how the announcers try to tell you how great it is. In addition, how necessary it is despite the fact that fans are already complaining. Last I checked Gary Thorne was not shelling out 80 bucks or more for front row seats.
My favorite change is the one that regards the All-Star game. They deiced to go back to East vs West. Hopefully this an early hint that the days of playing in the Olympics are over. Hopefully the game will open up and scoring will be up.
At the same time Theo Flurey is still a drunk (why the hell did the black hawks make him a replacement for tony Amonte?). Mark Messier is still playing. I guess the more things change…..

"Crash,Crash,Crash"
Gonna, work on this brochure for my class at school. Wait, the computer is running really slow….here comes an hour glass. Surely it will go away soon. Nah. The buttons they do nothing .There goes the whole network!! I can’t get anything done. I thought maybe I could get this project done today.
No way, cause Keith’s computer is going to crash, crash, crash
At the internship;, time to do some work for the good old Food Bank of South Jersey. Let us see here, just load up the program. Sorry the computer is performing an illegal operation. None of the programs are going to open at all. Nothing to do again. Maybe this guy will help. Nope he just stares blankly at the computer and pretends he knows what he is doing.. Everyone thinks they are a freaking tech all of the sudden. Wait, I think we figured it out. Nope.
No way, cause Keith’s computer is going to crash, crash, crash.
Time to sign on the Internet for a little leisure time. Wait it won’t let me on something about the modem. Time to go on and update Tucker’s world though…nah, the hour glass is back. Can't update the blog cause…

"The Trouble with Roman"
Flyers backup goalie Roman Cechmanek almost got his head taken off during warm-ups last spring before the final game. His teammates didn't appreciate him pulling himself out of the previous game and skating to the center ice yelling at them in a foreign language. Cechmanek was tired of his team letting up break away after break away up. The next game Brian Boucher played, but the Flyers were ousted from the post season anyway.
Flash forward to a few months later, and Boucher has been traded, and Cechmanek is our number one goalie. The only problem is he didn't really iron out anything with the players who were irate with him. He showed up to camp late, and has had little or no focus. He has been lit up in the preseason and had a major problem with rebounds. His focus has been so bad people already are wondering if we traded the wrong goalie. Boucher is several years younger, and always had a better attitude.
Back up Robert Esche seems like he wouldn't mind taking the number one job over. Its a long season, and he is likely to get his shot. But from what I hear he is mediocre at best. This means the season will end in a debate about which one of the Flyers goalies suck the least. Here we go again..sigh......
"“Hypocrisy: The Lost Thought”
I got distracted while writing my last post, and forgot to bring up a good point. Al Gore also has been criticizing Bush for the threat of war on Iraq. This from a man who had no problem with letting American troops go to Bosnia for no good reason. Not only that they were sent in totally unprepared, and accomplished nothing. I haven't met a person who could even justify why we sent troops there in the first place, but the objective certainly wasn't met. But those events were cheerfully swept under the rug during the happy go lucky 90's. I none of my readers out there are suffering from a case of the Mondays!
