Well it seems that it's time for me to pay off of a bet according to the rules set forth by Rocket Jones' - Hockey Whoopass Jamboree rules.
As a few of you might know, the Red Wings beat the Rangers 4-3 in a very agressive but fair game. Unfortunately for the Rangers, Brian Shanahan, having scored 2 goals, got out of his slump just in time to contribute to a win.
Unfortunately for my Rangers, Darius Kasparaitis absence due to a freak injury during the pre-game warmup, as a result of what I like to call it the curse of the Red Wings, was one that affected the Ranger line up and psyche through out the afternoon. All I saw during the game was a Rangers team that didn't play their usual masterful game, becoming instead a team that reacted to the aggressive Red Wing offense. This allowed the Red Wings to dominate the ice and ultimately the game. Proof of this can be seen in the high number of shots on goal the Red Wings had versus the Rangers. In spite of the loss though, I did enjoy the game and the frenzied/mad trash talk via text messaging w/Jon. Until the next one!
See, and you all thought I was just another pretty face in the family that just had some good fashion sense and not much else. Fooled you didn't I?
Anyway, being the kind of gal that I am, I will be paying my Jamboree dues and holding up my bet with Jon by displaying the Red Wing logo not for 1 day, as per the rules, but for 3 days as Jon and I agreed to in our bet. Yep, for the next 3 days I'll have to live with the logo on the left. I can put up with it only because it reminds me of a Harley Davidson logo and not that of an opposing hockey team.
The red, it burns. ;)

I gotta save that one. Thanks!
btw, it's *Brendan* Shanahan. My mom calls me every time he scores. She called me twice that day, ThankYouVeryMuch.
:)
