"We are the champions......my friends...."

Last night the Detroit Red Wings won their eleventh Stanley Cup in their 76 year history with a 3-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Compared to game 5, game 6 wasn't as exciting but provided a very entertaining finish. Down 3-1 on the power play, with less than 2 minutes left and with the goalie out, the Penguins made it 3-2. But failed to score with the goalie out in the last minute, coming very close with mere seconds remaining. It was a good effort by the young Pittsburgh team but not good enough. Henrik Zetterberg won the Conn Symthe Award as playoff MVP, meanwhile fellow Swede Nicklas Lidstrom became the first European trained player to captain a Stanley Cup Champion. I suppose since it is June 5, it is about time the season ended. They need to shave 2 or 3 weeks off the season, and this is coming from a Canadian.

Today Hillary Clinton stated in a letter that she plans on suspending her campaign for the Democratic Presidential nomination and on Saturday will endorse Barack Obama. Some people have a hard time admitting their defeat, Hillary is definitely one of these people. The question now becomes, what is next. I think I will be very surprised if she is offered the V.P. position by Obama.
It is hot and hazy today with the appearance that it could rain at any moment. Though it has not yet done so, at least where I am.

This is nothing more beautiful to a Canadian than the polished Stanley Cup, no matter who is winning it, well perhaps a smiling Canadian woman.
