It was a hockey weekend

Yes, this weekend was indeed one for the ages. Despite losing to Boston University, the Riverhawks of Umass Lowell shocked hockey east and stunned Northeastern University to make it to the championship game of the hockey east conference. I must say as a advid fan of the schools hockey team, that the team played their hearts out and have absolutly nothing to be ashamed of. The team which was picked as the underdog in both games shocked the college hockey world and for that their fans are very grateful. There is little doubt in my mind that when the next season starts the chants of UML will echo again through the Tsongas arena and that when other teams look at the UMass Lowell Riverhawks, they will realize that they have a tough battle ahead.
As for the pro side, the New York Rangers split a pair of home games again Buffalo and Ottawa. From this point on in the season every point will be a fight and if the Rangers want a playoff spot, its time they step up and not give up any more bad goals and stop taking penalites. Also as a fan message to the team, SHOOT THE PUCK! We spend so much time passing around, trying to make a perfect play when in reality one does not exhist. Take the shot, and slam in the rebound if there is one.
As for the fact that it is the first day back from spring break and teachers are begining to seriously talk about the end of the semester, I am realizing that in the past week I become to accustomed to going to bed late and sleeping until past 10 am. It was truly a struggle to fall asleep last night and even more so to wake up in the morning. There were a few pieces of good news this past week, mostly that I got a new hockey jersey of my favorite player of all time, Adam Graves. It was an unexpected birthday present from my parents, even though they also bought me a new phone.
