Do You Believe in "Millercles"?
My apologies to whoever coined that word on Twitter or where ever it was. If I knew who it was, I'd be happy to give credit. I only borrow it to make a point.... thanks.
Yes, I believe in "Millercles",or Miracles, or Karma, or whatever you want to call it. Blow it off if you want to, blame Brodeur if you want to (a lot of Canadian fans are doing just that) or just admit that the Canadian team lost.
On this particular night in Vancouver, WE were the best team, no matter what the reason. I am an American hockey fan. Yes, I am patriotic. And NO, I am not going to apologize for it.
As I said on the game thread chat last night, "He may not physically resemble him, but I believe that Ryan Miller just channeled a bit of Jim Craig out there tonight."
And on a night where the best player was the besieged goalie on an underdog team, one that had a shamrock on his goalie mask (and Ryan Miller did, in tribute to Jimmy Craig), and just hours shy of the anniversary of the first "Miracle on Ice"...Yes I do believe in "Millercles".
Do you?

Has Tocchet actually done something right this season!?
Raises a good point in the main "article" - Downie's certainly improved since coming over from Philly, and whilst he does appear to have been regressing a bit recently, he's definitely been the kind of player you'd rather have playing FOR you than against. How much is him growing up and how much is down to the coaches is obviously up for debate, but I can believe Tocchet actually helping Downs out

Though there season is coming to a close, and no more home dates are to be played, I thought it was noteworthy enough to make mention of the Tampa Bay Bolts Junior hockey team. It ain't the CHL, but Florida IS producing hockey players...

In case you didn't know, tampa is int eh process of bidding to participate in the World Cup should the United States be awarded the tournament in 2018 or 2022. The title of this post links to the official bid page... It asks for your support (sign a petition).
The Olympics are big, but Soccer is the world's game. To host any of the World Cup matches would be huge.
