This series between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Detriot Red Wings was one of the greatest ever. Not only were both teams matched up in last years Stanly Cup Finals but Pittsburgh dropped the first two games to the defending champs. Winning three games in a row against Detriot, not to mention the game seven IN Detriot was just incredible. To watch the sheer jubilation on the faces of the younger Pittsburgh squad just shows what having heart can really accomplish. I wish more Americans were hockey fans to appreciate this feat.
Congratulations Pittsburgh Penguins! Let's get after it again next year!

This summer, a group of my friends and I have decided to fight back against an extremely progressive and deadly disease: ALS, more commonly known as Lou Gehrigs disease. ALS is a motor neuron disease that affects a persons ability to control all voluntary muscle groups, including breathing and speaking muscles. From date of onset, an ALS patient is given 2 to 5 years to live before succumbing to the fatal ways of the disease.
On September 13th, 2008, a group of us will gather together at UCLA's Drake Stadium at the Muscular Dystrophy Association's & Stride and Ride. Not only will we be walking for those who can't, we also hope to raise a RECORD $20,000 to present at the event for ALS Research and Services. We call ourselves Call it a Day at 20K and won't stop until we have reached our goal.
Lou Gehrig once called himself the luckiest man on the face of the earth because he felt so supported by his friends and families during the last stages of his life. We hope to give this support to many families battling this disease.
