4/16 Quick Notes

Here are some quick notes before I head off to take another final exam:

- The Wings face off against the Nashville Predators tonight in a critical Game #4 of the first round series in Nashville. This is a key game for Detroit who needs to play with composure and consistency for the entire game and not here and there. I will be live blogging tonight’s game from the comfort of my couch. On Friday for Game #5, Joe Hass will return to BTJ for another live blog while I’m at work. My Dad also managed to buy a discounted second row single seat for Friday’s game (season ticket holders can buy single seats at a discounted price) so we’ll have some nice photos from the game as well.

- The Detroit Pistons played their last home game of the regular season in a 115-103 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves to earn home court advantage if they made it to the NBA Finals. The Boston Celtics have the upper hand in terms of home court advantage in their conference. They finish the regular season tonight in Cleveland against LeBron James and the Cavaliers. As the Pistons gear up for their playoff run, be sure to visit my favorite two Detroit Pistons’ news sources - Need4Sheed and Detroit Bad Boys.

- The Detroit Tigers have won two games in a row to make their overall record 4-10. For Detroit fans, this is a sign that the team is starting to turn it around (or its just the Minnesota Twins, I guess we’ll have to wait and find out). Mack Avenue Tigers and Bless You Boys are enjoying the turn around in play. Let’s just hope that both the Wings AND Tigers can win and it’s not an either or type of situation (when the Wings lost on Monday, it was only the Tigers’ third win of the season).

- Interesting tidbit: Through the first week of the postseason, 47% of all goals scored came from Easton sticks. Red Wings players like Henrik Zetterberg, Nicklas Lidstrom, and Dan Cleary are among Easton stick users.
