Jesus Saves, but Espo scores on the rebound

Guess what's for breakfast this morning.  No, it's not that. The USA is playing Russia in Men Ice Hockey. We should have fielded a team of buff gay waiters from Philadelphia and New York.  They would have kicked Putin's homophobic butt back to Moscow.  

Guilty is a big time hockey fan. I have cheered for the New York Rangers since the amazing Eddie Giacomin was in goal and they foolishly traded Brad Park to the Boston Bruins for Phil Esposito.  It takes a long time to recover from inept management, especially in sports.  While in Boston, Espo was the inspiration for one of the best bumper stickers ever.  Jesus Saves, but Espo scores on the rebound.

I attended Boston University and ice hockey was king. We won the NCAA Hockey Championship twice while I was in college. Cheering those teams on was a lot of fun. Besides the Rangers and BU, I really enjoy Team USA Hockey.  After football season, the front row needs more to enjoy than the mindless NBA and NCAA Basketball.  

Looking back, the Miracle on Ice in Lake Placid is one of the most unforgettable moments in history. I am not referring to just sports considering the changes afoot in USA-Russian relationships. Four teammates from BU team played for the 1980 Olympic team.  They were key contributors to that Gold Medal winning team.  Mike Eruzione, Jim Craig, Dave Dave Silk and Jack O'Callahan.  

This is only the opening round so there plenty of time to cheer on our team with an Olympic Hockey party catered by Provence. Talk about Team building USA USA USA!! 

That chant never gets old.
