hockey's back, so's the blog

we have a new addition to the family, and having a 2-week old in the house is less conducive to blogging than you'd think. still, i've found time recently to go see the Dirty Projectors, who get better and better, and attend game 1 of the 2007-2008 NHL season, in which the 'Canes lost for the fifth year straight on opening night....still, it was a good game and i wasn't too bummed. Cam Ward kept them in the game and had a spectacular save in the first. Carolina blew two 5 on 3 chances and the defense seemed a step slow. Koivu came through in the OT for the Habs and we get a point...still, excited about the season.
