I guess the loss last night wasn't exactly unexpected. There's always the Panthers, right? Them those funny Panthers, with they claws n' paws n' yowls of swamp frightenin'...ahead of us in the standings n' whatnot.


On a more depressing, life-is-ruled-by-meaningless-chance note: if you follow the hockey news at all, I'm sure you've already heard about the death of Brian Burke's son Brendan last night. It's horrible and baffling when anyone dies young, of course, but it's impossible to think about this tragedy without remembering another layer of sad poignancy: that the young Mr. Burke and his coming-out were the subject of an excellent John Buccigross story just a little while ago. I highly recommend it, for the Reading. Sounds like he was a brave lad. Hopefully one that will pave the way for others.

Hope we win, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

This Kovy deal's really killed my enthusiasm for this hockey team over the last few days.

Most excellent game of the season! That house must have been rocking, and we beat NJ attendance for yesterday.
