Going into the third period, the score was 2-1. I have to admit I was getting nervous. But two quick goals and we had a bit of breathing room. From there the boys just shut them down.

3 more games left.

A buddy at work, who is also a Habs fan, made some good points. He told me that Price would start. His reasons – Halak did have a great Olympics, but he’s probably tired. Price hasn’t played any hockey, and will need to play, and will continue to play if he plays good.

He played a good game against Boston. The second period against San Jose just ended, and so far Price is playing a great game.

He also feels that Price will be traded in the off season. He prefers Halak over Price. I don’t, I still think he’s the future.

Yes I’m watching the game, just came in from watching “The Crazies“.

The boys are still winning. Game 3 was won 8-3. Game 4, against the first place team was won 4-2.

4 games, 4 wins, and 4 games to go.

I’ll guarantee Halak will start on Tuesday against The Bruins. If he plays good, then runs off a few impressive starts. I think that’s it? Price will be riding the pine for the remainder of the season and will see his playing time diminished.

Things are gonna get ugly in Montreal. It could be worse though, I could of been a Leafs fan.

I woke up this morning knowing I would have to shovel. I woke around 8:30am and looked out the window. The first thing I noticed was – across the street the driveways all looked clean, looked down at mine and it was full of snow. I guess it was the way the wind was blowing or is it because I live on the north side?

This is the view from Jacob’s room. As you can see hardly any snow. They were not shoveled. This is the whole block.

This is my driveway full of snow.

All clean. As I’m writing this, the snow plow just drove by. Now I got to go shovel the mound it left. It’s not to bad though.

Hockey Canada apologized Thursday for an impromptu party the Olympic woman’s hockey team threw for itself on the Canada Hockey Place ice after winning the gold medal.

I get to to the light before the last left I had to make, I look in my rear view view, there’s a cop behind me. I have no ideas where he came from or how long he was tailing me? I make the left, lights go on. I just pull into the Burger King parking lot. I’m thinking – there goes my spotless driving record.

I’m waiting, I see him open up his door and slowly walking towards me, I can see him checking out my car, wondering what kind it is. I got the Korean Wing Emblems, so if you don’t know, you’ll wonder. My window is already down, he leans down and says “you were going pretty fast there, where you going”. I tell him Burger King, “can I see your drivers license and registration please”. I give it to him, but he doesn’t just walk back, he walks around to the front and he’s checking out the car.

He goes back to his car, comes back in about 5 minutes, and just says to me “take it easy out there, have a nice day” I say thanks, as he’s walking away, and says “nice car”. I say thanks again.

I pull into a parking spot, get the french toast sticks and drive home, “taking it easy”.

The secret to eating better? Fill your diet with healthy fare that tastes good.

Full-Fat Cheese
This dairy product is an excellent source of casein protein—one of best muscle-building nutrients you can eat. What’s more, Danish researchers found that even when men ate 10 ounces of full-fat cheese daily for 3 weeks, their LDL (“bad”) cholesterol didn’t budge.

Red-Pepper Flakes
A Dutch study found that consuming a gram of red pepper flakes—about half a teaspoon—30 minutes prior to a meal reduced calorie intake by 16 percent. Plus, new research suggests its active ingredient, capsaicin, may help kill cancer cells.

Vinegar
Scientists in Sweden discovered that when people consumed 2 tablespoons of vinegar with a high-carb meal, their blood sugar was 23 percent lower than when they skipped the antioxidant-loaded liquid. They also felt fuller.

Mushrooms
This fungi’s metabolites—by-products created when mushrooms are broken down during digestion—have been shown to boost immunity and prevent cancer growth, report researchers in the Netherlands.

Iceberg Lettuce
Conventional wisdom suggests this salad staple is nutritionally bankrupt. But as it turns out, half a head of iceberg lettuce has significantly more alpha-carotene, a powerful disease-fighting antioxidant, than either romaine lettuce or spinach.

Pork Chops
Per gram of protein, pork chops contain almost five times the selenium—an essential mineral that’s linked to a lower risk of prostate cancer—of beef, and twice that of chicken. And Purdue researchers found that a 6-ounce serving daily helped people preserve their muscle while losing weight.

They are now 2 wins and no loses and no goals against them. Jacob will be missing the next two games, as he will be cruising the Caribbean.

I’ll get Todd to send me updates via email.

I’ve seen bad movies before, but usually expect it. The Box has to one of the worst movies ever made. The plot, whatever it was, sucked. The movie had so many holes, was boring and went no where. I wanted to turn it off, but keep hoping and wishing something would happen that would of made this bore fest worth it. The movie ended the same way it started, sometimes this works in a movie, when there’s closure or some a twist.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you about this waste of film.
