life is a motherfucker.    You can laugh all you want about it, but we all get hit with the hard things, at least anyone who’s lived out of their parents house more than 20 years.

Do the hard things.   Face your fears.    I’ve found, in my short life that The hardest things are usually the right things.   The right things make you the happiest.  Thats the truth.

Even if your voice shakes, speak the truth.   Even if your legs are weak, walk toward the right thing.   Stare them bitches right in the eyes, even if you don’t know why.    Its how real men get strong.

That’s my take on life.

If you know your history, you know that this raid meant nothing strategically.   It was a message, and I got to think these men bore that weight,   accepted it, and flew off that carrier anyway.

Pretty moving.

Sid is leading the league.  Kunitz is on fire.  Malkin is hurt, but last years MVP will be back.    Then ya got James Neal.      We’re fighting back from defecits that would kill other teams.    I really, really like our chances.    This club smells like they wanna hoist lord stanleys cup to me.
