Man, that was another defibrillator game over at the UC tonight!! The Hawks scored two goals 28 seconds apart in the second period, then held off a frantic Philadelphia attack seemingly all throughout the third in order to come away with a 2-1 victory in Game 2. Now Chicago is up 2-0 in the series, which resumes Wednesday night in Philly.
The best part of the game for me was that Marian Hossa finally broke his 8-game goal scoring drought when he potted his third of the playoffs. He must be relieved to get that monkey off his back!
The Hawks have played 2 decent periods out of 6, and are lucky to have won these games. I hope they step it up on the road — where they have excelled all season long.
GO HAWKS!!!
Like most people, I absolutely love my iPod and iPhone. These are devices that I use more than any other, the ones I simply cannot leave home without. But neither have terrific battery life, which is why I always have to be aware of how much juice is left before I go out. This is a bit of an annoyance, particularly since I have a bunch of different chargers to use depending on whether I’m at home, at my work computer, or in my car. So when I saw this Empire Brands 
What happened to Ricky Carmichael??? The former MX and SX champion used to be known for his legendary training regimen that allowed him to become the winningest rider of all-time (both sports combined, I mean) when he was on the circuit. He used to be chubby when he first turned pro at age 16, but after working with Aldon Baker, he ended up sporting a chiseled physique. 
Man, Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals cannot get here fast enough!!! The Hawks haven’t played since Sunday night, but it feels like they’ve been off for two weeks already. I thought the series should have started tonight, but whatever. I guess the NHL is trying to build things up with media days like the NFL does for the Super Bowl. Sure, some funny stuff comes out of these interviews, like Kaner describing his mullet as “Billy Ray Cyrus with a bit of Vanilla Ice” or seeing him with that scraggly beard after not being able to grow any facial hair last year. Looks like he could use some 
I love gadgets, so I’m always coming across interesting products that instantly go on a mental “wish list” of things to buy when I have some extra cash. This 
Have you seen Venus Wiliams’ French Open outfit? In this AP photo, she looks like she’s wearing something for the bedroom, not something for the middle of the day at Roland Garros. Granted, this tournament is not nearly as stuffy or as stringent about outfits as Wimbledon, but still…. 
It’s practically impossible to get on Twitter, Facebook, or Google without seeing Justin Bieber’s name come up. He’s almost always a “trending topic” or “hot search” or whatever, and though I’d never heard of him before, seeing his name in all these different places made me want to at least find out what the fuss was about.
