SCF Game 7: No More Tomorrows

It has all boiled down to a final 60 minutes, starting a little after 8PM tonight when the puck drops at Joe Louis.

As you can see below from my lack of posting between Game 1 and now, I've had some trouble keeping up with the blog in the last week and a half. Partly because of the mood-swings induced by the games themselves, but also due to some real-life priorities that kept me away from the computer. But after I recover from tonight's outcome, I'll do a little retroactive back-filling, so that my Blog Of Record doesn't have a gaping hole in the finals. And there will be lots to add as Post-Game Summations, no matter what happens.

I am anxious only in that I hate having to play the game in that gawdawful arena up there (I wonder if there will be as many empty seats as before - those people ought to be ashamed of themselves), but otherwise I have complete faith in our boys to Accomplish The Goal. If we'd have lost game 6 at home on Tuesday (re-running 2008), that's the one that would have hurt. Now, tonight, we can really, really, do this.

I'm even missing my monkeyboys' final little-league ballgame in order to be home to watch the hockey game. The monkeys understand completely, and I think they'd rather be here watching too, but they don't have the option. I'll be recording the game for them.

And what is on the dinner menu tonight at Casa Leeeny? Need you ask? Click on Mama to go to the recipe.

Actually I used this recipe instead, since the Post-Gazette finally did their homework and obtained Mrs. Malkin's actual recipe and posted it. Which was a full week after I did my version (I had to fake it since I didn't have any inside sources at the Penguins). My recipe takes longer to prepare, so I went with Natalia's tonight since I'm pressed for time. If it's good enough for Geno, it's good enough for me.

Also: Chris Benson has just made a nice little pre-game motivational 'commercial' ... as if you need anything else to get you psyched up. He says he took the photos from Game 5 of last year's finals (the triple-OT game).
