7/20 Notes
Continue to send in entries for the SI Commemorative Edition contest by emailing me or leaving a comment (see the previous 2 posts for rules).
IwoCPO at Abel to Yzerman has an interview with MLive.com / Booth Newspaper writer Ansar Khan and his thoughts on the Wings.
Alanah at Vancouver Canucks Op Ed is participating in a Blogathon where she blogs every 30 minutes for 24 hours for charity. She’s doing in on Saturday, July 29th, for the Canucks Place Children’s Hospice so be sure to check out her blog and maybe even sponsor her (even a $1 pledge is great)!
It seems that Psycho Eddie may be heading to Florida and that would certainly not disappoint me. I say send him to warm Miami - at least he’ll have plenty of bars/clubs to go to in his long offseason. 
That would leave us with either our current tandem, Ozzie and Jimmy, or for us to acquire a goaltender via trade (ex. Biron).
As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve been watching/following the Tour de France although I have to admit I haven’t been as diligent as I have been when Lance Armstrong and the Discovery Team were doing well. Anyways between the retirement and doping scandal, Floyd Landis (team = Phonak) was one of the top candidates to win this year’s race. He remained in contention and even had the yellow jersey a couple times until yesterday when he tanked and lost 8 minutes and 8 seconds to the #1 guy. That is a huge time difference to make up with the race ending on July 23.
Anyways in today’s stage (#17), Landis brokeaway early to win the stage get in the top 3 (after falling to 11th place yesterday). He’s now only 30 seconds behind the guy in the yellow jersey. I’m rooting for Landis now that the Discovery team is sucking it up because he will be having a hip replacement right after the Tour. I can’t imagine the pain he is fighting right now while racing.
I’m trying to come up with a hockey analogy to help you guys understand how amazing this is. It would be like winning all of the first three rounds of the playoffs either 4-0 or 3-1 and being the expected winner of the Stanley Cup finals. Then, that team loses the first 3 games only to come back and win it all. Granted, Landis hasn’t won it yet, but yesterday they were all writing him off and today he could very well win it all. Quite impressive if you ask me…
I would like to apologize for the lack of real updates lately. My parents have been working really long hours lately so I get stuck with driving my brothers everywhere and doing the household responsibilities. Plus, my knee is giving me some trouble so I’ve been working on therapy stuff a lot and have to go to Cincinnati again next Tuesday. Plus, I’m heading up north again either tonight or tomorrow morning. I promise you that regular updates will return soon and hopefully my domain will get up in the near future as well. I’m also brainstorming new features for the blog. So thanks for your patience and understanding…Go Wings!
