Funny Aha Moments

Yesterday I saw an iPhone ad on network television. The ad highlighted a demo on how to receive stock quotes on the iPhone and the stock symbol that was highlighted was GOOG (Google) and it showed a $510 stock price. I was online and I checked GOOG and its price as of Friday. Google stock closed the week at $702. I thought

The NHL is Like The NFL

We now have parity and competitiveness and most teams are still in the hunt for a playoff spot. This is good for attendance, for TV ratings and for heightening the excitement level for the fan base.

 When we leave a point on the table or we lose a game that was winnable, I just cringe because I know those precious points will come back to haunt us at the end of the season. Every point matters as these standings show. I also get amused by some of the experts who proclaim that such and such a team spending at the cap max and signing players to odd-huge long term deals has completed its rebuild and yet they are a few games ahead of us in the standings with more than half a season left to play. Also I believe this month’s (December) record shows progress for our team. It is our first full month of playing above 500 hockey in several years, a small incremental positive step for us as a franchise. We have miles to go before we sleep and I expect us to remain accountable in the month of January and continue to climb the standings and points ladder. At least that is the plan.
