NHRA, and where the hell is my NHRA broadcast on TSN

Well as I waited all week to watch the season opener of the NHRA Winterneationals on TSN (tape delayed) I find taht all the Canadain sports networks we have are showing the Roger Clemens hearings about Steroids. Although this may be a serious offence but hell, they are all doing it, so where the hell is my NHRA drag racin gcoverage and when are you going to show it then?
All I can watch is what was on news websites and youtube about Tony Pedregon's crash. Although Tony is ok he had 2nd degree burns.

And the other alternative is to watch the Daytona 500 practice sessions on SpeedTV but they have been on and off today because of rain!

Speedweeks 2008

Well that time is upon us once again. The tim eof year every NASCAR fan waits for............SPEEDWEEK!

And it all started doff with Dale Earnhardt Jr. winning the Bud shootout at Daytona. The Bud shootout which is for racers who qulaified on the pole s last year thru out the season. Dale jr did it in his new team colors of teh NAtional Guard and Hendricks Motorsports. Is a sign of thing s to come?
One could only hope. Let's wait til Tursday for The twin 125's and see how good he really is.

My Beautiful Hockey Team

What a beautiful Hockey Team I cheer for! Yes the Montreal Canadiens. They beat the lowly Boston Bruins tonite 8-2. Usually I am against these high scoring games cause they can get boring as I would rather see a 2-1 or 1-1 game with end to end action. But tonite's game was different in the fact that my favorite team was winning and winning well and the fact that it was Boston they beat! Yes the ol rivalry between Boston and the Habs is still there and I remember some good games from the 70's and 80's between these two. Especially the late 70 playoff series these two met in. Oh yeah, how many cups did Montreal win from 76-79. Wasn't it 4 in a row! Anyway I think that is where my dislike for the Bruins started. Don't get me wrong Boston had some good players along the way and spme classy guys like Bobby Orr, and my all time favorite- Canadian who should be Prime Minister-Don Cherry who was their coach in th elate 70's. Remember the too many men penalty in the 79 stanley cup playoffs and the video clip of that moment at the sart of caoche's corner?
So it was a good nite that the habs are back and got production from all 4 lines and Alex Kovalev is playing like he has a new lease on life. So looks like the Habs are going to be part of the playoff picture this year and I hope they can go along way.
Anyway "vivre les habs"

Merry Xmas

Wishing you all a merry Xmas and Happy New Year.
Congrats Angelle Sampey for getting a new ride in 2008!

Always look forward to new race season cause there are new drivers and new cars, and new drivers.

Xmas party 2008

As my wife is an employee of a major oil and gas company it is fitting that they go all out for their Xmas parties. so they do every year, with awesome layouts of the tables and centerpieces and live bands. The only thing is teh food could be a little more portion wise and with some "real" veggies instead of esparagus! See don't know if it is even pronounced right. I always say if you can't pronounce it or spell it then it can't be too good.
But as for the entertainment and the rest of the night well it was awesome. Free drinks and wine, lots of wine, (right? honey!) Anyway was a good night and just look at some of these pics of the tables!
Also notice my tie and dress shirt? Well being a city worker (shhh) and being used to less restrictive clothing the tie came off shortly after dinner. About 5 seconds I think! And the I rolled the sleeves up too. HAHA. Then it was time to dance with my wife all nite! Something we don't get to do often enough these days.
