Shag on Sports Oh no. Not Again.

So after missing out on games 1 and 2, I finally was able to make it up to Detroit for Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Technically, I was there for work… which meant taking notes that I would most certainly just get from the game summaries, and being there for the postgame sound (we unfortunately don’t have a sports sound service at work, so if we ever need anything, we’ve got to swipe it from someone else). But really, I was there to get my rocks off at a Cup Final… and I was about 30 seconds from doing so, too. Below are a smattering of notes from last night’s doubleheader. I’ll warn you: as the night continued on, I really started focusing less on the game and more on my inner ramblings.

I may be a Jackets fan, but I’m rooting for the Red Wings to win it all in this here Stanley Cup Finals. The Wings really are the better team, and I’m sorry, but that’s not a playoff beard. That being said, I needed the Pens to win last night. No, not because I had a bet on them. Because I would have hated myself forever if there wasn’t a Game 5 at the Joe.

See, in accordance with my real job (as this is my fake job, considering I don’t get paid and nobody notices what I do), I have media credentials to the games up at Joe Louis Arena. Very cool, yes I know, everybody at the station is very jealous… and they should be. But the timing of these games have sucked, and I didn’t make it to games 1 and 2.

Yes, I know I haven’t written anything in forever. But you know what? Shut up.

It’s good to know that for one day, the city of Detroit can forget about it’s crime, it’s corruption, it’s philadering mayor, it’s “aw-hell-naw-you-did-NOT” city council (I f-in’ love that video), and just revel in a fantastic sports nights for Detroit teams the world around. And I do mean “the world around”, because all of this happened away from Motown.

And the sound guy is so money with the “I Believe I Can Fly” afterwards.
