The National Hockey League takes a break in order to play its All-Star Game on Sunday. Anyone think there is any relevance to the fact that this year's format is East vs. West, and not International vs. North America like it was last year? Are they looking at the America-bashing going on in the Axis of Weasels? Looking at the letter written by the United We Stand letter, written by eight European countries' Prime Ministers, I notice only one, Prime Minister Havel, of the Czech Republic, is from a country that produces a lot of players in the NHL. So move players from the green areas of this map onto the North American side, and we play vs. the players from the other areas. Nah, too complicated. Its East vs. West this year.
Speaking of hockey, Amy and I were at the Devils rout of the Flyers last night, and enjoyed it very much! At the All-Star break, the Devils are #1 in the Eastern Conference (on a pct basis, or points/games played)! My favorite Western conference team, the Dallas Stars, are #1 in the West!
