OK, here's where we stand: The Wolves played the first two games of this series in Grand Rapids. On Monday, they lost 4-3 in overtime. Tuesday, they lost 3-1. Grand Rapids is the Number 1 seed (48-22-8-2), and we knew this was going to be hard. I just wanted the guys to take one of the games. It seems like this team just wants to dig a hole and then claw their way out of it.
Which brings us to tonight.
Ten minutes into the game and we're losing 2-0, one of which is a shorthanded goal only 1:11 after the first goal. They're not playing well at all. A lot of weird calls by Craig Spada (one each side for diving). We get a power play goal toward the end of the first. The second period starts and the boys have more energy and are much more aggressive, outshooting them 14-6. OK, we can still pull this out. Third period rolls around, and the energy and aggressiveness is there, but wanes. It looks like they "don't want it." A bunch of players aren't seeing what's going on and actually look like they're not participating. Toward the end, it's a bunch of passing and no shooting. We go 6-on-5 - nothing happens. In fact, we can't keep the puck in their zone. Last 30 seconds - the crowd (3,110) is booing.
We lose, we're down 0-3 in the series. This team cannot win 4 games in a row against Grand Rapids. The next game is tomorrow - will it be the last one for us this season?

For once, a bunny entry that is not about our own Indy. I snagged this link from Boing Boing about a bunny that was rescued from a car park that had a taste for CAT-5 cables, printer cables, audio cables, power cables, mouse cables...
I've gone through the STS-107 Press Kit, but I haven't been able to find out any detail of this experiment, but...
Technicians going over the Columbia wreckage finally opened-up a middeck locker of an experiment and found hundreds of live worms in it. The worms only have a life span of about 10 days, so these worms were 4 or 5 generations away from the original worms on the flight and were part of an experiment testing a new synthetic nutrient solution. They were supposed to have been examined and unloaded from Columbia within hours of landing, so there's probably no scientific value to these worms, just more of a curiosity.
