*On the All Star Game, with the suspensions (or non suspensions depending on where you read it) of Pavel Datsyuk and Nick Lidstrom do you think this was a calculated move? Ken Holland is a well acknowledged hockey genius and before the season started had to know that some of his top guns would be selected to the ASG. So you think that he petitioned the NHL at the time to schedule Detroit's first game after the break against a perceived softie of a team in Columbus? Let's face it, before the rise of Calder Trophy contender Steve Mason, the Jackets were a joke (even with the offseason additions, and especially compared to the Wings). Hmmm ...
*Here is a terrible thought: What would happen if Henrik Lundqvist got hurt this weekend in Montreal? If anyone is up to build a lynch mob to storm the NHL Store to find Bettman, lemme know. And doesn't the pic of Gary to the right just say it all? Smug SOB.*Even though it was not important enough to make the game story in the local paper, the Canadian rags are jumping all over the Klotz story from Philadelphia where an AHL player suffered seizures after being knocked out during a fight. The subject of fisticuffs in hockey has been a hot topic of late and with the big guns congregating in Montreal, Klotz going down certainly does not bode well for us fight fans. And that is especially so since it comes days before a game that, no matter how bad it really is, the NHL will hail as a complete success. And you can be sure that the heartless display of the league's greed will pass without a single bout. So if you can have such a 'successful' game without any fighting, why should they allow fighting regularly??
*While a lot of eyes in Montreal will be on West Islip's Mike Komisarek, I randomly came across a news tidbit about another Long Island native - goaltender Bobby Goepfert. Goepfert, a goaltender from Kings Park, has apparently left the toil of the North American minor leagues to join the Red Bulls in Salzburg, Austria. Yes, there is a hockey team named after the energy drink and yes, it is a professional organization. Best of luck to Bobby in his new world.
*And if any of you are betting folks, and are really hard up for stuff to lay your money on in this disgrace of a hockey game, take a look at the experienced mid-level stars for your MVP. Taking a look at prior MVPs - aside from Wayne and Mario - many of the players to take the honour came into the game with little to no expectations. The big stars usually have a ton of press commitments so the game is an after-thought and the young players are in too much awe to play their best, leaving quality players with some experience under their belts to rise up - guys like Briere and Staal the last two years, and Bill Guerin, Mark Recchi and Vinny Damphousse among others in years past. That being said, since I would hedge my bets, my picks are Shane Doan from the West and Marc Savard from the East ... enjoy the festivities!

Killin' Time: Friday Night Edition
Introduction
Friday nights hold a special place in our hearts. They mark the end of a long workweek, offering a glimpse of the weekend's promise. Whether you're looking for relaxation or excitement, there's something about a Friday night that makes it stand out. In this article, we'll explore the unique charm of Friday nights, the various ways people choose to spend them, and how they have become a cultural phenomenon.
The Allure of Friday Nights
The Workweek's End
Friday night signifies the end of the typical workweek for many people. After five days of meetings, deadlines, and routines, the prospect of two days of freedom is alluring. It's a chance to unwind, recharge, and forget about the stresses of work, at least temporarily.
Social Connection
Friday nights often bring people together. Whether it's meeting friends for dinner, heading to a local bar, or hosting a movie night at home, it's a time for socializing. People crave human connection, and Friday nights provide the perfect opportunity to catch up with loved ones.
Entertainment Options
Friday nights are synonymous with entertainment. From live music events to movie releases, there's always something happening on a Friday night. This is the night when people can go out and enjoy the arts, culture, and entertainment offerings in their city.
The Friday Night Rituals
Dining Out
One of the most common Friday night rituals is dining out. Many people choose to leave the cooking to someone else and enjoy a meal at a restaurant. It's a chance to savor new flavors, indulge in favorite dishes, and share conversations with friends or family.
Movie Nights
For those who prefer a more relaxed evening, a Friday night movie marathon is a popular choice. With streaming services at our fingertips, it's easy to pick a selection of films or TV series episodes and settle in for a cozy night on the couch.
Hitting the Town
Friday nights are prime time for hitting the town. Bars and clubs come alive with music and dancing, while theaters and concert venues host live performances. It's a chance to let loose, dance the night away, and experience the city's vibrant nightlife.
Game Nights
Board games, card games, and video games are also a favorite choice for Friday night entertainment. Gathering with friends for a game night can lead to laughter, competition, and memorable moments.
The Cultural Significance
TGIF
The phrase "Thank God It's Friday" (TGIF) has become a cultural mantra. It expresses the relief and excitement people feel as the workweek draws to a close. Companies and organizations often acknowledge the importance of Friday by allowing for casual dress, flexible hours, or even office social events.
Music and Media
Artists and media creators have long recognized the magic of Friday nights. Countless songs and movies celebrate the anticipation and energy of this special time. From Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" to the classic film "Friday," pop culture continually embraces the Friday night experience.
The Weekend Kickoff
Friday night serves as the unofficial kickoff to the weekend. It sets the tone for what lies ahead – two days of leisure, adventure, or relaxation. The excitement generated on Friday night often carries over into Saturday and Sunday, making the entire weekend feel special.
Friday nights are more than just the end of the workweek; they're a celebration of life's simple pleasures. Whether you prefer a quiet evening at home or an exhilarating night on the town, Friday nights offer a chance to make memories, connect with loved ones, and recharge for the weekend ahead. So, the next time Friday rolls around, take a moment to savor the anticipation and make the most of your Friday night, because it truly is a special time.
