First incident:  Michael Del Zotto’s b...

I remember vividly the scene in “The Wizard Of Oz”, where Dorothy, Scarecrow, Lion and Woodsman are in the great hall in the Emerald City, listening to the enormous green head berating them to come back tomorrow.  Toto, the smart little Scottish terrier, goes over and yanks back the curtain to revea...

Hungry For A Cup?

Game one of the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals is in the books now, and it was a goaltender’s duel from the opening puck drop right down to the final buzzer.  Vancouver, in only their third appearance in the finals, came out like they expected to win.  They spent most of the first period in Boston’s [...]
