A Great Day for Hockey

This year I've enjoyed reading the "Empty Netter" blog on the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette website after Penguin games, offered by staff writer Seth Rorabaugh.   He live-blogs during and after each game.  You catch the ebb and flow of the game, in just a few words.

After yesterday's game five win over the Philadelphia Flyers, Rorabaugh captured well my feelings about the Stanley Cup playoffs.

"This is what playoff hockey is.  It's intoxicating.  It's gut-wrenching.  It breathes life into your soul and kicks you in the groin at the same time.  It's the most exhilarating of highs and the most hopeless of lows.  It's a drug.  And we can never get enough of it." 

Amen.
